just delete it off your computer or sell the disk

People who play video games in their 20s and beyond are literally losers.

I made a thread on /v/ asking them just that. Why do they care about video games so well into their 20s? Aren't there more productive things?

The answers I got were them admitting being losers, it's escapism, they don't care and nothing matters in life anyway so why try (they're losers and it's escapism), it was either video games or drugs, etc.

I did buy it when it was below $2
And I lost $20 because of it

Money can't buy happiness :^)

>I buy stocks that give big dividends

I'm 23. I've finally cured my lifelong anxiety with a diagnosis that an underlying thyroid condition was causing it.

I've saved up $20k in autism bux off my social democratic government because my interests and lack of a social life dont require me to buy stuff.

I obviously have poor work ethic but it's improving with my newfound normie brain. I'm not educated in finance or life skills but want to stop being a leech. Can anyone point to a tutorial for people raised by wolves?

I bet you believe other hobbies like train model building are horrible also.

>>1252896
how old are you? I'm ADHD and was a vidya person until last year now I'm nearly 21, I got the right meds and also just kinda grew out of it. I feel guilty for touching that shit outside of social events because it's such a fuckin waste of time.

>Tells the truth in job interviews

I'm not silly enough to be blunt at a job interview, but I need some serious help with lying on my resume. It seems nigh impossible to get an interview for anything without completely fabricating your resume to match the exact "qualifications" set by the HR retards.

Perhaps, but video games are clearly addictive, and >>1252896 has the urges.

Man, you seem boring as all get out.
Hopefully you get that whole sleeping thing sorted out.

Tell that to Martin Shkreli

>>1252888
thanks for the wake up call OP

The only bad habit I couldn't shake was videogames. I have been reading books, kept learning in my free time, but videogames were still there

I just deleted dota 2 off my computer. I'm free. Theres 3200 hours Ill never get back, oh well.

Most of these are retarded and rich people do them.

Anyway, what do I win.

>>1252888
>labeling loans as evil and always paying up front with all your saved cash

No I'll just take out a loan of $100 with a 10% interest rate and spend $110 instead of paying $100.

Dumbass.

>>1253511
Apple is a great example of this. They have so much money that they will never need to borrow it.
I wouldn't be surprised if they have some kind of company directive about not taking out loans.

>"Anyone who has an opinion that differs from mine is poor and a loser"
You sound pretty sad.

I can just imagine you're someone who has come across a nice paying job or something, and because of your complete lack of friends or a girlfriend to share your minuscule accomplishment with, you satisfy the need for praise by posting on 4chan pretending you're better than other people in the hopes that at least someone, even if they're a stranger on the internet will think you're cool and successful, because no one else in your life does.

That's literally the only reason people brag, and especially try to play themselves off as a superior being on an anonymous image board.

> I do the bare minimum at my job

Hmm... How is this bad?

>>1253643
wrong. op is a beta jew who had/has a videogame addiction and really wants to do something with his worthless self so he posts these threads weekly as a kind of mental reinforcement

work smarter, not harder, right op!

>reasonable people can't do reasonable things reasonably.

I love this /biz/ meme. Just remember, you're here, posting on a chinese rice futures telegraph delivery service.

You list off all that, but still browse here.

>>1252971
But this is a valid one, why deprive yourself of doing things you enjoy and love only to save money?
You're not taking that money with you when you die, life is temporary and you don't know how or when your last breath will happen, why not live to the fullest even if that means spending a lot?

The difference with video games (and this has been scientifically proven) is that they give you the 'shot' of accomplishment too frequently and too easily.

No matter how hard the game, all games are designed to make you feel like you are accomplishing a real task.

Other hobbies have this equivalency, but learning guitar takes months if not years to become proficient. Building model trains sets takes many days/weeks/years to complete.

Most hobbies have some things to teach us, the common thread being, the value of consistent work toward a singular goal without reward before the work is done.

Video games remove that, giving only slightly more satisfaction from completion than from just playing a single day.

In that way, they are an addiction for many, not a hobby. They are something that people use to define their lives, to build their personality on. They think that they are achieving something, it is nothing but farce.

Basically, everything in moderation. However, much like any addictive drug, video games are designed to make moderation extremely difficult.
