>swore off of video games years ago because I didn't

You're a fucking moron for thinking quitting videogames will fix your life just becuase bitter old fucks that cant have fun label them as "childish"

Man i hate r9k, i share a lot with you but a lot of you are pathetic orbiters and faggots

Video games are fucking manchild nu-male shit

>stop playing vidya
>now i just lie in bed all day

I didn't quit gaming I just stopped because I no longer enjoyed it.

I replaced it with lifting, but lifting only takes up maybe 8-10 hours in total every week. So I'm lifting with a shit load of free time spent doing nothing. I should probably start playing games again lol

No.

AAA gaming and "I'm a gamer" is manchild nu-male shit. Making playing video games a part of your identity is manchild nu-male shit.

However, sitting down on a thursday evening playing some Gravity Rush 2, or going on Steam challenging your autistic friends to Rocket League is just standard, harmless entertainment.

Are there supposed to be differences between those two examples? How are they not exactly the same thing?

>>34604669
One is becoming video games and adopting western "gamer culture", the other is just enjoying it as a form of interactive entertainment.

Wow it's almost like the person is the problem and not the hobby

I'm going to need a more in-depth example here, because both of those involve "adopting gamer culture" and "becoming video games".

>>34604684
Your argument is "What I like in the hobby is right, what they like is wrong" which is a piss poor argument. That said games are never the issue, it's the person. There are doctors, married and with children, out there that are grinding away in Persona 3/4 while you have situations like OP where they are failures/freaks with nothing to look forward to that abstained the hobby all together.

>>34604741
The point is that one person simply plays games while the other person's life is gaming.

The average age of gamers is over 30, don't believe the memes.

>>34605440
>bunch of 34 year old millenial new male cucks
>bunch of 20 something college kids who are following in their footsteps
Age isn't everything, as evidenced by how many absolute subhuman beta males play video games

>>34605472

>Equal amounts of 34 and 20
>Average over 30

And it's crazy to assume there aren't more teens playing than nu-male cucks as you so whole-heartedly meme.

>>34604540
Maybe your mainstream casual shit like COD or Wii shit.

Some games are more fucking complicated than most desk jobs and require strategical/tactical thinking and planning.

I can't be a general IRL without investing 30+ years. But I can be a fucking general in video games.

I can't be an oil tycoon IRL but I can be one in games.

There is absolutely nothing fucking wrong with games.

Everything he said was fine Satan, the only cringey part was the virgin part. And his voice.

Daily reminder that Chad owns a PS4 and still gets laid

>>34605768
I'm lazy. Video games are made for lazy people.

There is nothing wrong with it.

>>34605666
god damn, at first i didn't understand what the cringe was, the whole "being something you're not" is a pretty reasonable reason to play games, but after like 30 seconds, it really derailed

my life is genuinely worse after having watched that, fuck you anon
