This is a correct feeling. Video games leave you with literally nothing for the time you spend on them. Absolutely fucking nothing.

How are they a waste of time? Unless you have people who are dependent on you and you absolutely cannot spare any time at all out of your schedule to do something you like, or you have no self control and will play games till your life is in shambles, I don't really see what the harm is. Why does /g/ make such a big deal about video games and yet they have no problem browsing 4chan, watching anime, or doing other unproductive crap.

I don't think games are a waste of time unless you play them in bad ways. However books and movies are much better at their own thing, whereas games nowdays are more like shitty movies which makes playing them well impossible. so unless you're playing a high skill game at a high skill level you're likely wasting your time, as in, you could be getting more for less by doing something else.

I won't deny that plenty of games are not that great, but again it is like a book or movie. You need to find games that are either a challenge or provide a compelling story.

A workaholic is not a medically accepted condition. Probably because other medical conditions can add up to what people describe as 'workaholic' and treating the source rather than the outlying symptoms is far more effective.

Not same anon but your "help" isn't very helpful. Some addictions are put in place to stop larger more severe addictions. Sometimes life is funny that way.

Yeah being glued to a computer screen for 12 hours a day isn't very healthy and people should try to not fucking do that. But it's still not as bad as doing heavy drugs or even worse, having kids.

You have to learn to accept some bad things anon even though it goes against morality and shit. It helps keep the greater evils under control. Imagine if all the serial killers had just become horror movie addicts, their obsession with shitty movies with shitty actors would have been far more desirable than to have had a bunch of families murdered in their sleep.

not him but i've always wondered since i don't have access to hardware i could test it on.

I know that distros like ubuntu LTS are recommended to use alongside discrete GPU with proprietary drivers because kernel and xorg version doesn't update too often.

Does it mean that if for example I were using something like fedora (which gets frequent kernel updates) I would have to install GPU everytime it gets updated?

Yeah, that's what I said too. You know that deep down, you think that you're some hot shit that everyone else just doesn't realize yet and your lack of empathy is because of that. Once you realize that you're just a person, too, will you actually gain some sort of empathy for other people, even if you don't know them.

>>52586696
Just think about who you're even replying to, and where we are. He's probably an 18 year old who lurks /pol/ and posts in MGTOW threads or something equally lacking common sense, lives in his childhood home with his mother who still is washing his clothes and cooking meals for him.

>>52586696
How is he wrong though? Having kids is the most fucked up thing you can ever do to yourself. Kids cost money and more importantly, time of which we shouldn't be wasting.

I don't give a fuck. You think I asked to be brought into this existence? I was forced to exist.

Anyway my point still stands.

>>52586774
Thats not how empathy works dude, I have broken bones, been on food stamps, I live with heroin addicts. I have also been homeless, I'm more than experienced enough to be able to empathize with other people, I just don't feel it on an emotional level. If I see someone mistreated I don't really feel bad even though I will do what I consider the right thing. On a place like /g/ its far more likely that someone has some kind of personality disorder and is not just your run of the mill angsty teen.

lol no it doesn't you stupid nigger, you wouldn't even exist if your parents had your attitude, shut the fuck up and feel grateful that you even exist right now.
>>
>>52586872
Not him but I'm not grateful at all that I exist. I wish I didn't have to wake up tomorrow every single fucking morning. I'd fucking put a bullet through my head if I weren't such a pussy. All I can do is sob my sorrows away while I clutch to a bottle of booze and try to make all the horrible feels go away.
>>
>>52586937
That's your problem. You're not supposed to feel that way. Stop acting like it's normal.

I'm at the point where I know I'm not going to become a millionaire or have a wikipedia article written about me, so video games don't seem like a waste of time any more.

Don't bother.
This is the last generation of personal computers.
AMD is going bankrupt and Intel said they're moving to mobile and data centers.

Buy a console, Intel will stream you a game from their clouds.

Don't know where AMD is going to go and it doesn't matter.
Intel pretty much verbatim said they will kill their consumer grade CPU division by 2030.
>>
>>52583811
Install linux that will keep you from playing any of the new games and you will get bored eventually

1. activities are not mutually exclusive
2. jerking off and watching TV are not any more beneficial than playing a video game
>>
op you don't have to stop gaming.

game on your free / break time. thats what i do.

don't be obsessive about it
>>
>>52583811
You need GPU to test games you are making, anon. Also, hardware acceleration for video. Also, girls like men with powerful GPU.

Enjoying what you're doing isn't a waste of time, it's just not productive.

Holy fuck. What is /g/'s problem?
>Hurr I have money to build a great PC but am tempted to add a GPU

Just fucking buy it then you autist. Play games when you have the time and money to do so. Unless games in the past completely ruled your life, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill here. Contrary to popular belief, you don't HAVE to be a constant "productive linux user" like /g/ thinks themselves to be.

Pic fucking related. One of the many games I like to play on my time off of working and hanging with friends.
>>
I don't understand why /g/ makes a big deal about GPUs and then claims that you're a fucking loser if you play vidya.

What do you idiots do with your gpus?
Watch anime?
>>
>>52590170
>Watch anime?
Well yeah, you need quite a bit of power to watch anime on a 12k curved monitor.
>>
>>52584002
no because im adhd and it took a lot of self discipline to actually be able to force myself to finish a video game. I wasn't able to finish a single VG until I was 20 years old. Granted that bled over into the rest of my life as well.
>>
I don't even have a big interest in games and I still want to build a new PC and but a GPU in it. I don't know why, maybe it's just to have the option.
>>
You can spend $600 on a gaming PC and still be able to play everything but the most demanding games. You just won't have high quality or solid 60 FPS.
>>
>>52583811
GPU's aren't just for games fucktard.
>>
>>52590840
other than video, nothing

Yeah, Google Earth and SVP Manager are some serious shit.
>>
>>52590877

>>52590840
If you're not doing anything graphically intensive, they're useless.
>>
>>52590840
we get it, you bought a 980 ti and use it to watch 1080p video.
>>
I spent $800 on new pc build with a monitor and case. Worth it.

anon, I watch 10-bit 1080p anime on my dinky 8 year old core2duo

you don't need high end graphics to watch fucking video
>>
>>52591571
But anon, my placebo GPU intensive config.
A shitty core 2 duo can't handle it, i know because I've tried.
>>
>>52584054
I do. I even make a list of games I played through 100%.
>>
I too stopped playing while in university and after a year i noticed that all i was doing was browsing aimlessly in the net.
Then i decided to play again and i was so happy and relieved i creamed my pants. now i have a job and almost no time or burning desire to play.
If you have an urge to play, play.... No sense in being a bitch...>>52583811

Pretty much this

Video games are a novelty

You should just pick one game and get to top 100 in the world at it. That's at least productive.
