[quote=@ClocktowerEchos] Because Pokemon is too mainstream. Can someone explain to me why exercise addicts are a thing? I get that exercise is healthy and you should do it, but when you spend like 8 hours a day at a gym and do not stop talking about how many babies you bench/how long you run in the Alps/what kind of shady ass shit you put into a protein shake, how do you do that? Just fucking how? [/quote] The chemicals released from exercise can be very addictive, especially once your exercise 'routine' becomes part of your lifestyle. Then said lifestyle will put you in quite intense and value based social circles which often creates a 'bragging' culture which might make you feel the need to post every physical achievement you have on social media. Also It should be mentioned that living an intense 'gym' life will force you to give up a lot of regular vices, such as tasty food, alcohol, a lot of free time on the internet, so maybe bragging is all you really have left. I wonder about the appeal of this: [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2b/Ico_north_american_cover.jpg[/img] again, its not a bad game but what does it really have over any other functional 3D platformer?
