Of coarse the Boomers want young men to work. Since 15% of the lowest class men have given up completely, their pensions are in dire straights, which is the only thing Boomers care about, besides selling their houses they bought for 20K for 5 million dollars.

>>135608983
Yeah, I actually looked for a short schedule job so I could have all my afternoons free to keep training and playing FPS games competitively. It makes me feel happier and more accomplished than any job ever could.
I'd rather be "useless" being really good at killing shit on a screen than work overtime for Mister Goldstein with no future prospects anyway, so everyone else can get fucked. I earn more than enough to live, feed myself, have gigabit connection and upgrade my computer when necessary to continue playing FPS games at 300 frames per second.

Call me when the world stops sucking.

We're dropping out of society because we've developed various mental disorders from coming to the realisation that it's no longer worth it to participate in society.

Of course recently I was finally forced to seek mental health help and was diagnosed with Schizoid personality disorder. My doctors told me to apply for disability for mental health impairment because they all believed I'm not capable of becoming a normie now.

I think the video games are just something young guys have fallen back on because they don't feel valued in society.

I dropped out before the whole social media generation came about, so I wonder what kind of monsters are in development right now with all that added on top.

My parents aren't poorfags.

They're also into the whole "Things will work out by themselves" attitude with life. So it wasn't until last year that they started saying I should probably go see a psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist sent me to psychologist because I was told there are no drugs for Schizoid Personality Disorder, there is no cure, you're stuck with it for life, there's no point using drugs unless the disorder is causing depression, which then you can get drugs for the depression.

It does make sense, I don't see how it's bad though. If anything, it puts to bed the myth that us younger guys are just formless shapeless blobs that don't want to do anything, many of us want to feel that same sense of accomplishment men throughout all of history have felt, whether it was taking down a wild animal with your tribe brothers, or farming on the land your family has owned for decades with your sons.

We're not much different, but because real life has failed to give us sufficient opportunities to grow as men, to wake up and genuinely feel excited to accomplish something, to set out in a task with a sense of purpose and belonging, many turn to games that are specifically designed to recreate those feelings. Isn't really shocking in all honesty, I don't play vidya anymore but if you ever actually played them or spoke to some one that plays them, it's obvious why teens and young men in particular are drawn to them.

How do people stay neets long term like this?

I've been living the neet life for just over a year because I took a gap year before law school and I've never been more unfulfilled in my life. I've got so bored of video games that I haven't played them in several months and I started diligently working out just to have something to work to. I can't wait to get back to school and yearn for the days when I get married to a qt3.14 tradwife and start of family of a half dozen white children. Have long term neets just given up all hope?
>>
>>135611516
No, only Elite.
Other games put your motor and mental skills to test and have challenging gameplay. That's why I've been playing Quake for over a decade still and I love the fuck out of FPS games.
At least I can have a ladder or some sort of rival progression in those games. Elite is much more shallow and boring than that.

Dota, and Ever Oasis.

The article is pretty interesting actually, especially since it wasn't the usual "men are dropping out from society" whiny bullshit. I work in a kitchen, and make decent money, but it isn't rewarding and doesn't really encourage any growth. It doesn't challenge me. All my personal goals are met from dota and constantly trying to improve and understand the game more. In high school I used to fence and that took my time and competitive side, and since that is no longer an option I use dota for my competitive and creative side, while work is just work.

>>135608983
What does society expect? Many people listen to cunts constantly go on and on about how men are privileged and need to lower themselves so women can compete but just like having a race with a 5 year old, it's one sided fun. With video games, men can be as competitive as they want with each other without women getting in the way. Feminists tried to get involved with video game development but only succeeded with a small list of popular titles. There are many games untouched by their hand.

So no fucking wonder when you beat someone down they don't come out stronger but weak, afraid, and antisocial.

The psychologist have it tough because they know I'm already fit, active and eat healthy and sleep really well, and I don't drink or smoke/drugs etc, so my mental issues aren't simply fixed by dropping out those things.

Theres some point in it - I can get hooked on some game for a week or so - and what mostly gets is the sense of "accomplishment".
You get it by beating opponents in strategy game or leveling your whatnot character etc. - instead you should beat your opponents in business and leveling your salary I guess.
Much more addictive than tv or some other such thing that just provides some entertainment - in pc game you are actively pursuing some goal and if you reach it and get better at stuff it kind of "rewards" you like you'd become better in some important way or achieved some actual goal.

There are plenty of goals in real life, the problem for many is that those goals are more ambiguous and not laid out as clearly. It can take effort, planning, and strategy to figure out how you should live your life, and since most people are just sheep, it's difficult for them. Video games make everything linear and simple, easy to follow, so for sheep it's the clear choice.

The worst part is the lack of human respect. I don't mind working, like many men I enjoy working, that's why we bust our asses either working or gaming, biology programmed us that way. The kikes own everything though and try to force us into slavery at every chance they get. The only options are
1. Start a family, be forced into a life of wagecuckery, spend all your money on wife and kids (even if you get a good wife shit's still expensive)
2. Be very intelligent and/or self-driven, carve your own niche without anyone's help (realistically only 1 in 10 men or so can actually do this)
3. Give up on those unrealistic dreams and participate in society as minimally as possible
Number 3 seems to be my only option

It's the psychology of it. Accomplishment triggers reward centers in the brain, this is how whites and Asians evolved over niggers who only feel pleasure via muh dick. When you're a wageslave with no freedom over your work, just performing mind-numbing tasks that a robot may soon replace, there's no reward, just a paycheck for your daily bread. Video games allow men to be competitive and prove their worth in a way that is relatively unregulated and free of kikes.

It should surprise no one that men are getting into videogames now.

>game have a clear structure and effort is rewarded
It doesn't matter if you play Kirby's Epic Yarn or DotA, both games have clear rules and a win condition. Yes, in multiplayer games your team can fuck you over, but at the same time you can be all the difference between a loss and defeat.

This is absolutely alien to modern working fields, especially on the entry level. You have 0 agency about it, work is unrewarding and your chances to advance are slim and are most of the time more a carrot on a stick than a real proposition.

>games are made for men, the same way the working envoirement was made for men in the past
There were certain, Gentelmanly rules of conduct back in the days. It doesn't mean everyone was friends, but there were rules and regulations specifically tailored to men. This has completely changed. Working space now does everything to accomedate everyone, resulting that men are less happy overall because next to the stress of the job they have to try not being themself.

Onve women entered the workforce, the playingfield, previously established to cater male needs, has been changed again and again, leaving very little of what is now considered the negative example.

The solution is simple. Turn life into a video game.

MANIFESTO OF FUTURISM

1. We intend to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and fearlessness.
2/ Courage, audacity, and revolt will be essential elements of our poetry.
3. Up to now literature has exalted a pensive immobility, ecstasy, and sleep. We intend to exalt aggressive action, a feverish insomnia, the racer’s stride, the mortal leap, the punch and the slap.
4. We affirm that the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car whose hood is adorned with great pipes, like serpents of explosive breath—a roaring car that seems to ride on grapeshot is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
5. We want to hymn the man at the wheel, who hurls the lance of his spirit across the Earth, along the circle of its orbit.
6. The poet must spend himself with ardor, splendor, and generosity, to swell the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements.
7. Except in struggle, there is no more beauty. No work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece. Poetry must be conceived as a violent attack on unknown forces, to reduce and prostrate them before man.
8.We stand on the last promontory of the centuries!… Why should we look back, when what we want is to break down the mysterious doors of the Impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We already live in the absolute, because we have created eternal, omnipresent speed.
9. We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.
>>
10. We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice.
11. We will sing of great crowds excited by work, by pleasure, and by riot; we will sing of the multicolored, polyphonic tides of revolution in the modern capitals; we will sing of the vibrant nightly fervor of arsenals and shipyards blazing with violent electric moons; greedy railway stations that devour smoke-plumed serpents; factories hung on clouds by the crooked lines of their smoke; bridges that stride the rivers like giant gymnasts, flashing in the sun with a glitter of knives; adventurous steamers that sniff the horizon; deep-chested locomotives whose wheels paw the tracks like the hooves of enormous steel horses bridled by tubing; and the sleek flight of planes whose propellers chatter in the wind like banners and seem to cheer like an enthusiastic crowd.

There is also the primal simplicity of the most played videogames in what their goals are and how to get there.

If there was a video """game""" where the participants were controlling real robots in real wars and get paid to do it, there would be a LOT of participants, even from people who normally would be too much of a pussy to hurt a fly. They may or may not be aware of the true nature of the thing, the graphics simulating the world and covering up the actual real footage, but I don't think they would care. And when there is no conflict they can always pit them against other players for hardware trials (disguised as PvP content).

Reading this thread, there's a staggering absence of self-awareness ITT.
First of all, I'm not even mad.

Young men opt out of society because IT'S MORE CONVENIENT than ever. You can mentally masturbate yourself with vidya like a mouse drinking cocaine water to no end, while not really considering the long-term consequences to yourself or the society at large.

You know how some open-world MMORPGs passively force you to stay in a small corner of the map in the beginning? Like how it sucks to run and hide from some shitty lvl 15 creatures just because all you have is a bow? Games tend to play it down a little because you paid for the game, but that's true in real-life too. When you're a nobody, a lvl 3 bucko, you have to play ball with some shitty lower/middle managers. That's in order to GET INTO THE GAME, until then, THERE IS NO ADVENTURE.

>inb4 the adventure is waking up 6am and getting home 12 hours later for shit pay
No, that's a choice, one of a million possibilities. You think roasties or chads do that? If you're afraid of the Jew, go to a trade school, start your own company, be your own boss and make more money than that desk jockey with a Bachelor's degree in whatever. There ARE options.

But seriously, what's your long-term plan? And yes, that's a trick question, because you probably either don't have one, or it involves being a parasite like waiting for your parents to die for intra-family gibs, which is absolutely fucking disgusting.

>inb4 hurr durr 50 percent my pay goes to handouts to roasties and niggers
That also pays for the infrastructure that you surround your parasitic life around. You don't get to call blacks in ghettos 'niggers' in derision, because you are one of them. It doesn't matter if you don't get gibs, you contribute nothing and waste our resources and infrastructure just merely by existing.

Infrastructure and other actually-valuable government services make up like 5% of the federal budget and maybe 20% at most of state/local budgets. Most goes to kikes and shabbos goyim that run banks and defense contracting agencies, the rest goes to niggers.

This is the first time in a long time in the West where children have worse payment and job prospects than their parents. It is far harder to make your own business now than it was in the 60s or earlier where you didn't have to worry about Shaniqua suing if you fired her for incompetence or worry about (((liabilities))) when some chucklefuck injures himself and requests a seven-figure payout.

Sounds like those us researchers are retarded honestly. I love game like Rising Storm, ARMA, Battlefield, Squad etc but was in the actual Army and let me tell you it fucking sucked. Videogames are popular because they are better than real life, nothing more and nothing less. It's entertainment.

Why don't you move to a country with a younger average age and still plenty left to be developed in its economy? Then if you work hard you can have more money and be a real man.

I don't play much vidya nowadays. Parents are okay with it because I have a well-paying job online. Basically work every other 2 or 3 days on code and use Internet to work from home for a tech company I work at lucky for me I got good job security bc what I'm coding is specialized and its hard for them to replace me.


I wish I had a gf, but its too much work honestly anon. I just want a pagan girl who likes to have sex in the woods and drink beer with me but they always got to make everything a fucking drama.

It is an excuse. If I agree to play chess with someone, but then that someone declares that they get to replace all their pawns with queens, I have the right to say "Fuck that, I'm not playing". The only reason to agree to that bullshit is if you're a cuck.

You obviously have no idea how America works. Lawyers exist left and right looking to sue people that don't have a multicultural workforce. It's at the point that, even though we have much lower taxes, countries like fucking Denmark are considered to have better business environments due to less regulation.

I'm more libertarian than ancap, but whatever. We don't have a libertarian society though. Video games offer freedom; I can kill shit, mine shit, whatever and not worry about an existence-tax or lawsuits for discrimination. I'm allowed to compete in a virtual marketplace without worrying about violating one of ten million codes on trade, all of which are designed to favor massive corporations. There's no irony; I don't support welfare and being a total government mooch, but I prefer NEET welfare leeches over kike business owners robbing us via subsidies.

So your brilliant move is to become a nigger? I know you're frustrated and all, but do you not see a few steps ahead here, how your life ends up by doing this?

It's not like you can flip the table and walk away, the game keeps going either way. You can only lose by not playing.

>Lawyers exist left and right looking to sue people that don't have a multicultural workforce. It's at the point that
So first it's really had to start a one-man company, and now you're worrying about diversity that becomes an issue 10+ people later. Right. You're making zero sense right now.

Games have more or less ruined my life. You feel a small sense of accomplishment ranking high on a leaderboard but everyone, no matter how naive, knows it doesn't mean anything. I grew up playing consoles all the time and it is just something that stayed with me into adulthood. It's an addiction because doing well in game releases dopamine giving happiness. Likewise doing poorly in game comes with feelings of anger and disappointment. It's easy to say walk away but for someone like me it's been a long time and I wouldn't even know how to let go of it. I've pretty much accepted the fact I will never have kids or be married. I know I should feel bad, but I don't, because gaming is too important. I sometimes daydream about the pretty girls I never met and the life I never had. So I put a game on and stop thinking about it. My advice to parents on here is if you allow your kids to play video games make sure it is only a small part of their activities.

As someone that was once addicted to videogames it literally destroys your social life and destroyed my life style.

>>135622641
I've literally played video games my entire life, I still go to work, have a gf, go have fun with friends and I still find time to play a few hours of video games every day. It's all about managing your time properly. I can see how video games are addicting, sometimes I find myself thinking "shit I wish I didn't have to go out tonight I'd rather play this new video game I'm getting into" but it's all about self control and not letting it control you.

People get addicted too easily, and if you have literally nothing else in your life then it's very easy to dedicate all of your time to video games because they can be truly rewarding and satisfying.

Except you can, easily. Heard of welfare? Unemployment? Fuck, ever heard of just living in the fucking wild? Most businesses aren't successful, obviously, and the current climate of super corporations tends to absolutely crush any and all threatening competition through underhanded means that never gets them in trouble thanks to the unstoppable army of curly haired lawyers at their disposal.
>>
>>135623256
I agree with your post, if you do not let them control you it's fine. I still play games when I don't have anything better to do. You can't look at games as achievements or accomplishments because they do not provide that. You are wasting time playing games, you have to understand that. It doesn't matter if you're the best or have the best gear or whatever, it doesn't matter the slightest in reality. I know I'm wasting time when I'm messing around playing games but I understand that and allow that down time for myself.

I was addicted to world of warcraft for many years. You know breaks that kind of addiction? Having something real in your life that makes you not care about your simulated life. I found a girl and got married, bought a house and forgot about my epics and raid schedule. None of it mattered.

All of what I said is false if you are a money making MLG or streamer or something. You are getting a paycheck, that's something.

You do a great job of generalizing, I'll give you that Finn. Who fucking cares if you won't make 6 figures leeching off the system, as long as they're happy/content there is absolutely no good reason to dedicate 10 or more years to a shitty job so you can live in a slightly bigger house.

Exactly, it's easy to hold onto something if you have nothing else in your life. People should ask "Why do these people play video games instead of being productive" instead of wondering if video games are at fault. It's like alcohol where it has the potential to completely take over you life cause it helps you drown out everything wrong in your life. If you're miserable being distracted of your misery is the best thing you can do.

Oh, so you think you're different from those people in the mountains, developing chronic pain disorders and depression, and turning to opiates after decades of barely getting by and watching as people thrived and gave their families good lives? Humans weren't designed to do nothing and get nowhere. Nature selected so that we mentally suffer for remaining in that state, so that we'd get off our asses.

>as long as they're happy/content
I agree, but the statistics are wildly against this happening in the long-term. I'm not even hating here, this is fact.

>to dedicate 10 or more years to a shitty job so you can live in a slightly bigger house
That is not what this is about. This is about much more profound aspects like self-realization and self-empowerment. This is about being able to support yourself and your loved ones, and taking pride in what you ARE and what you're doing. Being a parasite is the antithesis to all of this, and unlike the gibs, it will not be free.
>>
Play games way less than I used to but I understand the appeal. Young white men have done everything right according to society (do well at school, go to university, socialise, put yourself out there, pick up some extra-curricular, etc) and still come up with jack shit for their efforts and been told they're evil bigots responsible for niggers plight on top of that. I honestly don't blame them for retreating into escapist fantasy.

i would be very skeptical about this, given that there are gov officials actively trying to discourage you from this activity.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/30/obama-discourages-lazy-kids-from-playing-video-games/

with games you are not dealing with people. which means you are not being corrupted by untruths. your whole life so far you are experiencing the truth. thus you have no idea how to fool, deceive, lie to others. issue with the science and math he's is suggestive about is that it's all build up in a way that you hear and learn only about those they promote. thus you are again listening to lies and fabrications. with games, everything there is the truth, because lies don't work in games. you cannot get corrupted by lies in games. it's the place where they didn't have access to yet.

my take is that you should be happy playing games, given that you are actively avoiding of being inflicted by lies by studying their jewed up books. thus you are getting closer to god himself.

> Video games meeting young men's needs previously met by work, US researchers say

Unless you're a successful let's player, streamer or competitive gamer, this is obviously not true. The primary purpose of work is to earn money, to make a living. If you're lucky your work will also be fulfilling and enjoyable, but that is obviously not the primary purpose of work. So obviously playing video games is not meeting young men's need for money. The government or mom and dad are.

well you are right. they are now. it's thus important to learn and map the terrain before doing the dive in.

it also has something to do with not being able to blame others for your mistakes, because you know that the failure was your own. thus you are not inflicting the feelings of hate, blame on others, perhaps you are saying it loudly in the mic, but everyone who listens know that you are only lying to yourself and everything was your own mistake.

thus i believe you actually grow up to have some integrity by playing with truths, which for them is the worst enemy.

I don't really know about the big cities since I came mainly to visit the churches and the monasteries on the mountains. It's doesn't look that bad from quick glimpses that I got as I was passing through the areas/cities.The villages are perfectly safe and the villagers are friendly, nice and welcoming. Most of them must be on the peloponnese and central greece regions since they have the most population.
