A short YouTube monologue by Dylan Vanas reflecting on excessive video game play (notably GTA 5) and its negative effects on his life and mental health. The speaker recounts long daily sessions (up to 14 hours), feelings of being ‘sucked into’ an alternate reality, and urges caution about equating long playtime with healthy relaxation.

Chapters

I heard GTA 6 is about to come out. Rockstar Games spent years on GTA 5. I used to spend hours and hours and hours playing that literally started to develop a mental illness. I was like sitting in my parents basement playing for 14 hours a day yelling at these guys on the Internet and I realized like, what am I doing with my life? People that play video games get sucked into it because it's this opportunity to relax. An opportunity to de stress after a long day. Okay, I get it. But 10 hours of that, you can relax within 30 minutes. Don't kid yourself into believing that it's positive when you're just getting sucked into this alternate reality.
