I weak-down voted your comment, mainly because it has an underlying movement that is very should-y (beware other-optimizing!), based on at best medium information about the writer. I believe you probably wouldn’t have made a similar comment about someone spending two months learning the piano?
I would like it to be the case that Lesswrong stays a place where overly math-heavy video game discussion is socially allowed, and not where everything that doesn’t reduce x-risk is frowned upon. Let people play during the apocalypse, they should enjoy their remaining time.
