Video games are for losers

[disillusioned]

There is absolutely no defensible reason for spending lots of time playing video games once you are 25+ years old. I used to play them for hours and hours everyday when I was a teenager and also fairly often while I was at high school/early 20s. However, by the time I was 27 or so I had mostly lost interest in games in favor of other, more deeper hobbies such as fiction writing, game development (and no, creating games is not the same as playing them because there is actual cognitive labor and creativity involved), cooking, etc. As of today, I spend maybe 1-2 hours a week playing games and sometimes not even this. I'm 35 years old now.

I fucking cage at this cope that only ignorant boomers think video games are a childish hobby. The stereotype of the pathetic manchild gamer exists because it reflects reality. Proper adults have more interesting shit to do than play Minecraft or some online MMO 4+ hours a day. The only people who still do this are the socially rejected autists that nobody fucking likes.

Even ignoring the social stigma, I just don't see the point of it. When you are young, you didn't really need a reason because the dopamin hit of doing shit in virtual worlds was good enough, but now as a man in my early middle age, the idea of wasting hours collecting coins in a game just seems like an enormous waste of time. Why not instead write another chapter for my novel? Or write design documents for new game mechanics? Or watch a tutorial on how to cook steak better? Just literally anything except play some stupid fucking video game that nobody except subhuman autists give a shit about.

Even writing is becoming increasingly cope now that AI can write entire chapters for you. I'm not kidding when I say that in the future, novelists as we think of them won't even exist anymore. So-called writers will just be prompters telling the AI what content should be in the chapter and the AI will write all the prose.

 

[ToDelirium]

You're probably right, but you must feel the same way about posting on forums

 

[Brava]

Even as a kid, it’s better to play sports. If parents allowed you to play more than 2 hours of video games they failed

Gaming is one of the most common copes yet most people don't see it as such.

 

[Luquier]

I don’t play video games, I just talk to myself and browse the Internet all day instead

>This is coming from a man who can’t even enjoy life without numbing himself with the most pussified drug ever, alcohol.
Please tell us how games are more pathetic than literally PAYING for your physical and mental self-destruction.

You used to have the best threads on this site, now you are just the “old man yells at a cloud” meme irl.
No wonder studies claim that that beer makes you Lower IQ.

 

[kwk3998]

Video games are fun with IRL friends every once in a while but I haven’t been able to enjoy gaming alone since I was 12

Gen Z is introverted as hell though, even Stacie’s Who lifemogg 95% of the worlds population, game.

“Muh producitivity this, Muh producitivity that”
Nigger you know damn well that doesnt mean ANYTHING for sub rich HTN, matter of fact it’s an even bigger cope! it’s like you are ragebaiting.

idk for me its like reading a book or watching a movie depend on the quality of the game but i agree at an certain extent

 

[Regenerator]

Everything outside of eating, drinking, sleeping, urinating, defecating, exercising & breeding are a "Waste of time" You do everything else to pass the time. None apart from everything I mentioned are essential for human survival. Video games at least require you to use your brain more than watching TV & movies, listening to music, watching pro sports & doomscrolling.

Dnr but video games are definitely fun as a teenager when u play with ur friends

You used to have the best threads on this site

That's because there's a finite number of good threads to make. Once you've covered every blackpill, where do you go from there?

I've quit drinking btw. Been sober for like a year and a half.

EDIT: Btw, I've registered a domain for blackpillmanifesto.com and intend to put all my shit up there eventually plus some extra things.

Playing with cartoon puppets, which are virtual dolls, is for children and women, not men. But creating them yourself is for geniuses. Therefore, instead of wasting your time playing childish games, invent them.

Just shut the fuck up.

I signed up on my OG account literally 8 days after you.

Every thread of yours is a doom post. But that is not the point.

The point is you are STRUCTURALLY RETARDED.

You complain about things that are not impacting people's lives on a fundamental level.

"muh video games". = Don't play video games, then shut up, or make a valuable thread.



You ignore class fabrics, then talk about "Video games".


Here's a message for young Turks.


Someone ugly can play the video game
Someone beautiful can play the video game
Someone stuck in the extreme conditional left-tail of social class distribution (considering access to games console + monitor at any stage during lifespan) can play the video game
Perma rich trust fund chad can also play the fucking video game.

I think AI will fix this once it starts becoming possible to convert novels into graphic novels, if that still counts as 'reading'.

 

[Mr Test]

Well Yeah but if a loser stops playing Video Games he will still remain a loser. Every man without a decent job, a decent wife and Kids is a loser, even if you cope with muh „Deep hobbies“

Not using one of those engines. It's a lesser known one.

Unironically. When you create your own stuff you can insert your own philosophies and ideas into them, making it a form of expression rather than just mindless consumption.
