I'm a gamer. I collect games. I'm 28 and I've gotten far ahead in my life all thanks to gaming, in terms of education, jobs and social life.

Yet my parents fail to understand all of this. They consider gaming to be a kids thing. They tell me constantly that you should grow up, that's just mindless waste of time. Sell out your old games. Yet they are borderline slot machine addicts, playing for hours upon hours almost daily.

Right now i'm in their house helping to pack up belongings and throwing out old stuff due to an upcoming house sale and brought my PS4 with me. Now, I have put it to their TV, yet they haven't noticed. The only time I feel "ok" to play it is when they are out of the house. This is, to say the least, outright ridiculous.

Any advice or comments on this? I though this would end after I moved out, but even after becoming a selfsustained adult and paying for this stuff on my own, I feel like my parents are acting unsupportive towards my choices.

You live with your parents at 28 and consider yourself a self sustaining adult?

How did gaming make you get far ahead?

This is a generational difference. Gaming is something that didn't exist as such back in when your parents were young. They didn't grow into it. I'm assuming they got your first games/gaming systems for you when you were a kid, so that's why they associate it with childishness. You can't really convince them otherwise, because of your different life experiences. At the best, just say it's your hobby and you'd appreciate it if they let you unwind the way you see fit. There's no point in wasting breath arguing about it.

Learned languages (english and japanese), dedication to a certain game landed me a job.

Then why do you give a shit if your parents think a hobby of yours is a waste of time? Who cares?
