>>1166601If you read a book on survival skills, are you not absorbing them? I agree practice makes perfect, but you can go through the motions virtually, and games that don't treat you like a baby encourage resourcefulness, planning and not fucking up
That being said if you play more than 8 hours of games a week, consider not being such a bugman and get a grip, get more hobbies and things going on in your life
Fun and atmospheric though they are, games don't teach you shit about social skills, you don't produce anything or form great memories, there's no consequences for fucking up.
Struggle is manhood. Go outside and expose yourself to situations outside your comfort zone.
