As someone who birdwatches and plays video games, I do not agree with most of what you’ve said here. You’ve oversimplified video gaming in the most small minded way (i.e. just sitting on your ass in a room), while glorifying birdwatching which I could easily simplify as just sitting on your ass on a bench.

That said, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. You needn’t do so again for my benefit.
