As a high level golfer (I have beat division 1 college golfers and was a low level pro for a bit), I agree with you. I was plat in starcraft 2 back in the day9 days and the heart rate and sweating that would happen from playing was ridiculous. It was just as strenuous, if not more, than tournament golf.

Off hand, I just know when I'm playing a really tight/close game like BBC2, my pulse is *not at a normal resting rate. Plus, staying at a constant "full-alert" is taxing itself.

It's not the same as actual, physical activity, but it certainly isn't restful. I guess it's a bit like driving through really busy roads all day; at some point, your brain goes mushy and you aren't at 100%. You've been sitting down, but you're still worn ragged.

I didn’t say people shouldn’t have them. Doctors shouldn’t be prescribing them so much and they shouldn’t be treated so casually.

But also yeah if people want them recreationally they should be able to buy them. We just shouldn’t act like it’s a good thing.

You can experience major shrinkage though which you could perceive as it going inside your body

Like if something goes from 8 inches to 3 inches you may just assume it went up inside of you instead of just shrinkage especially if you have 0 grasp on your body and biology
