Hey Maaz, usually a silent watcher but, I just wanted to let you know how much your videos have helped me. You maybe not even notice his comment, but your videos about being brown.. your childhood, those stories honestly being tears to my eyes. As someone who’s also from Pakistan, I too was ashamed of my brown skin but After watching your videos, I’ve been trying to love and embrace it more! Thank you so much for providing us w the content, whilst also being a doctor at the same time! Your videos are and absolute joy to watch, and whenever I see a notification that you’ve posted, it makes my heart happy <3

breath of the wild taught me to wander off the beaten path and seek out new experiences. Cuphead taught me to keep trying, even if I failed. Stardew taught me to make the most of every day, and to have patience. Animal crossing taught me time travel, and now I am wanted in 30 different countries in the future.

My dad would straight up agree with you, in fact he had a friend he met gaming as his best man at his wedding. (Also constantly telling me how good games are for teaching life skills)

I love how maaz makes all the sound effects, for things himself I just find it so funny 😂❤️

[jazcorn_dn]

I love that Maaz when describing a healthy balance of gaming, exercise, and eating has to also quickly add “not like that” likely knowing that someone on the internet may try to recreate that scene lols

“Video games are important because it teaches us about the most important thing in life… mOnEy!” - Best Maaz The Maartian quote of 2022 BY FAR 😂

"Established Titles" is a scam. Sure, it's a fun gift to get someone a certificate telling them they're a Lord, but when you are buying it - you're not actually buying land. You're just buying a certificate saying you're a lord, but you don't actually become a lord.

Is that good ol' Laddi throwing her zenyatta hairballs at 1:11? That's a great touch!

I hope if the next time I ever have to have a surgery, the surgeon is well equipped in Tetris 🙏🏼

loved this video~! I personally enjoy how video games can show social commentaries, teach people psychological and unspoken but valuable life lessons through good storytelling and/or extreme involvement with controlling the game's world/characters, like "omori" and "night in the woods"

...money is also nice too~

2:02 Me thinking you were going to cross out James and Rush out of the wedding invite list after the whole Among Us game where you told them you had a dream where they're your best men at your wedding and both of them act cool and killed you. 😅

The social aspect really rings true. I've been diagnosed with adhd and autism since I was very young, which resulted in getting bullied ever since kindergarten for being "weird". I have a lot of mental health issues as a result from the constant bullying and the lack of interference from teachers. It also did not help with my difficulty handling social interactions.
Once I didn't go to school anymore, i barely had any friends. And the ones I did have, i saw only very occasionally.
Video games have been a way for me to satisfy that need for social interactions. I recall having pleasant conversations with other players in Team Fortress 2 lobbies, coordinating trading things from animal crossing or pokemon with my coworkers, even monthly game nights at work. Minecraft and animal crossing have helped me with creative thinking and resource management. Nintendogs made an effort to get me used to adopting daily habits and responsibilities. Brain training helped me train quick thinking skills (so do shooters tbh). And just dance and family trainer gave me the much needed motivation to get up and exercise. So did pokemon go when I was still very enthusiastic about it.
Even very buggy or glitchy games have been useful, teaching me more about coding and how to make a game.

So yes, video games do a lot of good. Most often, the problem is how people play them, what they do during gaming, what they don't do as a result of gaming and how long they game.

Any of the games PETA made are a different story though, because those are actually harmful and most likely illegal. Fortunately they relied on Flash, so they're not really playable anymore
