"Playing computer games excessively is a tacit admission of a s**ty life"

[The Real Jdbye]

Real life is boring. Graphics are great but the gameplay sucks. No wonder people want to escape into a world that's infinitely more interesting than the one we live in.
I can't wait for a future like Ready Player One or Sword Art Online when you can actually live in VR. No need for real life anymore.

It's either I play my video games [or any games for that matter] Excessively, or I will die from over self-manipulation. And I'm not lieing about that.

No. Playing video games or exclusively PC games doesn't really say anything about a person. Every person has something that keeps them going or connect with others. It's like telling someone "Oh, you like this band? You must have a shitty life if you think about it not existing."

You're fine as you are. Even the most content person could fine joy in a game, doesn't say anything about the quality of their life.

you're missing the point. this is, as stated in the topic, about excessively obsessing over video games.
Which I have to agree with. too much of anything is bad. the old meme of little salt is good, too much can kill you.
I guess nobody here can deny the hikikomori/NEET lifestyle of 14 hours gaming / sleep / repeat is neither healthy nor fulfiling in any way. speaking from own experience
