I don't think the poster has issues with video games, it seems their issue is I don't prioritize sharing my gaming experiences before sharing my more interesting qualities. I guess i should just have a list of every game I've ever played and every tv show I've ever watched ready for my next first date that way I don't "embellish" my lifestyle by saying I like to fish on the weekends.

This might not be the best thing for Canada either given the state of some provincial politics. With more power politicians like Doug Ford could go beyond banning just bike lanes and completely ban bike ownership. Then he would brag how he managed to get 0 cyclist deaths.
What we really need is stronger municipalities and regional politics. It would make it easier for cities or counties to experiment with new ideas for housing, transportation, and energy.
But remember, hes totally for the working class, what if the working class suddenly had 1000s in capital gains, wouldn't want the big bad government taking money from working people.

There often is a button or too within the dash cluster to change things like the trip meter or cluster brightness
In my area, hunters are taught to fully unload their gun, place the gun on the ground then cross the fence bare handed to help prevent accidental discharges.

I'm not embellishing anything. Ice fishing is a hobby I am more interested in and enjoy more than gaming. I have more good stories about ice fishing than I do about gaming. I also find it leaves more potential to further the conversation. Maybe she likes to fish on a boat in the summer, or maybe they have experiences from their childhood ice fishing they want to share.
I am a very outdoors person and I'd like my partner to be the same, so when I meet a potential partner, i like to start by finding out if they have any outdoor passions.
I'd honestly still prefer 10 hours a day system over no change at all. Although my view is biased and flawed as i work trades and my hours are very inconsistent. 55-60 hours a week is common and honestly an even 40 hours would feel like a break to me. I've cosidered if i could get my employer on board with 10 hours 3-4 days a week in the future after ive bought and paid for a house.
I don't lie about who I am, i just put forward my more interesting qualities before admiting i play 2 hours of minecraft a day. I also don't participate in online dating.
I'd also rather a girl recomend we go ice fishing together as a date than play a game online as a date, so i often put forward my hobbies that are easier to do with other people, like mountain biking or going to a rock climbing gym in hopes of finding some common interests we can share in person.
My bike got stolen recently. I haven't bought another yet because there are no bike lanes to safely bike in my area and I'd otherwise use a bike for trails which i dont typically do in the winter. I have to commute along a 4 lane, 80km/h road with average speeds closer to 100km/h. There is a rough gravelly shoulder and it is a snow bank in the winter. An e bike would turn my 20 minute commte into 40, something i'd be willing to do if the ride was enjoyable and safe, which it is not.
People need somewhere to bike to justify investing in the ebike. Nobody would buy a tesla if it wasn't allowed to drive on the road. Nobdy wants to bike next to 100+km/h traffic injaling tire particles abd listening to a subaru redlining their engine through a needlessly loud exhaust.
Ive met girls who spend most of their free time gaming complain things like "all he does is game, hes going no where". Some people have dumb standards for first impressions or are just straight up hypocrites.
That said, in our hyper competitive online dating bullshit timeline, OP should have thought of one of their more interesting skills and hobbys, even if they don't do it as often. Something like "sometime i cook a nice dinner on fridays" or "i like to ice fish in the winter" could have gathered more interest than just games. Even sticking to the gaming genre but mentioning a weekly board game meet sounds more attractive than solo gaming. It isn't necessarily the most fair but we gotta sell our selves even more when trying to connect digitally. There is no body language or other aspects to observe, your handful of pictures and texting is all you got to make a shot, for example, I game more than i ice fish, gaming is less commitment in time, energy, and money, but ice fishing is the more interesting and skill diverse hobby so I'd choose that over gaming for first impressions
I never claimed to be embarrassed, i just claimed it isn't my most interesting feature and don't put it forward when meeting someone new. Id rather talk about my job or other more interesting hobbies.
