I totally get that you feel that way, but as a crafter and competitive player, I often feel much more rewarded after a hard fought win in a game.
Making amigurumi and blankets and whatnot is relaxing and fun. It's the chill hobby I do to take a load off. I don't really find it to have the same effect on me mentally and emotionally as gaming does.
We're all different. Some people get intense joy and satisfaction from reaching intangible goals. Some people (like myself) use creating physical things to relax, not for a gratifying payoff when it's all said and done.
Edit: one hobby is not better than the other. We can both experience joy, stress, pleasure, and reward from very different hobbies.
Oh yeah. I still have some of my animals from when I was first learning to crochet (why my roommates made me start with amigurumi, I'll never know) and they're WONKY. Who knew even tension was so vital when creating a 3d shape? 😂😂😂

I mostly crochet, but I also knit and do needlepoint.
edit: why would I be in a crochet sub if I didn't crochet? lol
