my kid reminded me of something similar one day… i was kinnda making fun of all these kids sitting around watching some guy play a video game… youtube or whatnot… it was a whole big genre i guess.

anyway i was having a problem identifying with this arrangement…lightly teasing them about watching this when my then 12 year old says ‘how is it different than sitting at/watching on tv any ballpark watching other people play those games?’ … he might as well have added ‘old man’.

for some reason, when it he put it like that it just kinda slapped some reality into me.
