Why does playing chess consume that many calories but playing videogames, which, in theory, uses a lot of brain capacity, doesn’t?
In: Biology
When you play chess, you have to think. You can’t move a character or do anything that’s not thinking. For video games, even if they need thinking, most of the time you can get around just fine by “auto piloting” and just, well, playing the game. I think exception of this is strategy games, turn based, which I’d be surprised if they dont burn a lot too
