At 18 you should have a full time job or be at college
Finish college at about 21, still pretty immature.
Maybe stay at college for another 1-3 years, still pretty immature.
When you turn 24 there is no more excuses, time to put on the big boy pants.

Or, if you got a job at 18, you will probably be enjoying all the money for a few years, buying vidya etc, you will be bored of it all by 24.

28 there is never too old its a hobby like everything else

quick question, what 4x scifi games are out there that dont have an ugly to look combat?

last good one i played was stardrive 2
stellaris sucked ass in that regard, really well map and all but fuck that combat looks like its been from 2000

Never. In fact I pity current old people who can't into vidya, it seems like the ideal hobby after you're too old for eveything else.
>>
I'm 30 and love video games. Mostly fighting, the new Quake plays pretty well, but shooters in general are fun.

I think this is mainly because I never got into a heavy relationship and settled with kids, etc. I think I'm much happier living the bachelor life.

The day you start school full time for grade one you should stop watching any television, it's for toddlers. Listen to the radio for news, when you need it.

Video games need to go when you start high school. You should have a job doing at least something when you're not at school.

At 18 the radio goes, so does all music, books and newspapers are the only acceptable sources of entertainment and information at this age. Entertainment should only be considered after you finish your full time University, your job, and all of the work you need to do at home.

Once your schooling is complete, you should have a wife that doesn't care much for your company, a mortgage you struggle to pay, and 1.8 children by the time you're 28

Or you could just do whatever you want to do after your obligation are fulfilled. Understanding that somebody is going to disapprove of what you're doing, regardless of what you're doing.

The problem isn't video-games, the problem is you. You have an addictive personality, most likely incentivized by childhood trauma, faulty family, lack of social skills, etc. What was once a fun little hobby is now a full-blown drug you use to escape your self-hatred, fears, and anxieties.

What do you think NEETs did before the advent of video-games? It was television. It was comic books. It was anything that could let their mind escape their own problems. And the biggest problem of all, OP is that you're blaming things other than yourself.

Fucking get off your arse you lazy cunt and go fix your life, it's never too late.

If you aren't into free climbing, I pity you. Any other form of entertainment is for man-babies. If you go to see a film, you're just showing everyone what a little, dough-boy toddler you are. The same thing goes for all non-free climbing activities.

I think it's just a matter of perspective on what is going on in your life, and not age. 2 of my friends still play vidya but just on pc and barely at that considering they go to ISU. We don't need xbox to stay friends but that's just our hub for gaming and socialising.

All of us are around 20-21 years old, so we still have a while to go. Crazy how far we got with just playing Xbox live in middle and high school.

This is depressing. Was severely depressed for years and just starting to get on "track" now. Why do what everyone else is doing, I've never understood this. The older I get the more I realise I nor most people have any idea what they're doing, they're just trundling through trying to get somewhere or sitting still/stagnant.

If someone's passion is video games, be it making or playing them I don't understand what the issue is, it's their time and they have no obligation to anyone to live a monotonous cookie cutter life with husband/wife/kids if they don't want that. So many people who follow that life end up unhappy with their situation, unhappy with their lives. (With some exceptions, my Grandparents for example)

Life without entertainment or passion is a shit one, it's the foundation on which cultures were built. Without art or passion we're just biological machines like any other animal.

Even the most accomplished people, their lives will mean nothing in time. Their names won't be remembered on any grand scale. We only have a really short existence and that's it, it's sad. There's no real difference between someone who worked their ass off their entire life in a job they hated/tolerated and someone who enjoyed themselves and did something they were passionate about in the long run.

To me there's only your personal experience and fulfilment in this life. There's no obligations to anyone or anything, you don't *HAVE* to do anything.

It's a mobile (like, android, iOS, windows) software company for big enterprises here at my country. We provide our clients with solutions for delivery or accounting systems, cross-platform shit and all the buzzwords you can find in today's industry.
I'm currently working in a project for a big ass gas company. It lets them track where their trucks are and what they're doing, so they can tell their clients at which exact hour they'll be getting to their places and shit.

Vidya is for 12-16 old kids. That's it. You can see it in any new game that comes out. They clearly target this age bracket which is also the one who most consumes games without needing a lot of quality from the devs..

Call of Duty WWII, Battlefield 1, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Fallout 4, Horizon: Zero Dawn, etc., are amazing games for their intended teen and pre-teen markets. They will mark and shape some early teenagers like Contra and Super Mario World marked yours.

The new games are not bad at all, they just are made for a different generation from yours, for a completely different age gap then you are now.

This is why spending too much time playing vidya after that age bracket is a bad idea. You are with a bunch of pre-teens and teens, not with other people who are at your age.

Playing vidya every day as a grown man and justifying it by calling it a 'hobby' is like going every day to an elementary school's soccer practice, playing with the kids and calling it a 'sport'.

Sometimes you just have to grow up.

Basically, as soon as you're born.
My dad hated me playing videogames. He said it was an addiction for idiots and would rot my brain. I didn't think much of it growing up, but my dad both limited my access to videogames while advocating playing sports, fitness, etc. He even went as far as to limit my access to certain friends who he suspected played video games non-stop.
I played sports fairly well (even all-state), I was damn good at motorcross, picked up music (which my dad had mixed feelings about), because most musicians he considered to be "worthless cocksuckers" and "drug addicts", but videogames still was my main passtime despite all these other hobbies.

When I got out on my own, I played a lot of videogames and music, fucked around at shitty jobs, bummed around in college, and fucked a ton of roasties.

Well, it turns out my dad was right about literally everything. Videogames kill any agency one might have as far as I've seen. People that play videogames are usually lazy fucks that lack drive, focus, and athleticism. And my dad was also right about people that play music are usually DUDE WEED, drug addicts, drunk, or frequently work part time or have a checkered employment history.

By my mid 20s, I started playing sports again, lifting weights again, picking up more instruments, and eventually landing a decent job when I reduced my videogame playing. I even bought a house after a few years on my own. Last week I sold the last of my game consoles, leaving only my PC, which I don't really game on. The only thing I can't do is ditch this shithole. I wish I had all that time back.

Same here. I started feeling "guilty" about playing vidya and feeling I was wasting too much time even though I enjoyed it.

Honestly OP, when you hit college you should be at the point when you don't play them as much, assuming you played them while growing up. I played videogames all throughout my childhood and high school years, but I came to a point where I severely slowed down on how long I played video games per day. As I went through college, I hardly played any video games during the weekdays, and now I am at a point for weeks where I go without playing video games. For me, I think I just sort of burned out. I played most genres, and most games I found to be very similar. Once you play a few final fantasy RPGs, you've basically played them all. But the silver lining to this is that when a new game comes out that looks very good, I can truly enjoy it. I will play it for hours every day for about a week, and will get throughly satisfied from it. My lack of playing games constantly and only playing the best new games that come out has made the hobby extremely enjoyable

Full disclosure. I'm not a beautiful man, I'm a giant mixed-race person at 6'5" 360Lbs. I have glasses, long hair, and a scraggly beard with gray in it(I'm 36, mind you). I wear jogging pants and graphic T-shirts almost exclusively. The only real difference between you and I is, I do not suffer from social anxiety.

I'm a big fat guy, but not super tall as you. What was your dream job? how do you get passion? I just spent 2 years at the age of 30 taking computer programming courses, realizing while I get good grades, I can't be fucked to program in my spare time so I get good.

I just want to finish the summer semester at this point and hope for an easy job in IT. I want to work to live, not live to work I guess.

I don't think there's an age where you become too old but at some point you just starting shifting to other things unintentionally.

I'm 27 and over the past 5 years or so I've just gradually lost interest. I stopped staying on top of gaming news, have a harder time convincing myself to buy games when they come out, and really only play a few hours throughout the whole week.

27, from 7 used to game like a fiend. In college I devoured 3 games every week, whilst being in a relationship and socializing regularly. After graduating I just couldnt get into any games. I'd buy everything that appealed to me but would lose interest after one gaming session. I initially blamed the modern gaming scene for being trash and bought game after game trying to find 'the one'

mfw I have 500 games on steam, most of the them played for under an hour and have lost all interest in gaming. I dont play anything anymore, all I do is lurk /v/ and shitpost for some reason.

Pretty much in the same boat at age 24. I feel like I've seen everything that matters in gaming, new releases tend to feel like shit I've already played for the most part.

I play maybe 5 hours a week at the most these days and it's all pick up and play stuff, I just can't be fucked dedicating the time to an MMO, MOBA or and RPG where I forget what's going on because I don't play frequently enough.

If you play games 24/7 yeah it's pathetic but if you're an adult with bills paid and do overall go out, then what's the matter with unwinding and playing some games? Video games are so mainstream now that it's cool to play them.

well of course, its a hobby.

That's what I dont get from this thread, why are people talking about videogames like it NOT a hobby? You can be 20, 40, 80 and play videogames, it doesn't matter if you do it in your spare times.

I was born in 84 and will still continue to play video games probably until my last. That's not to say that there is nothing else going on in my life or that I even have the time to put into them that I used to. FFS I played Xenogears 100% like 3 times when I was in HS.

My taste has also changed as well. Ignore any of the non-ironic shitposting that tells you that you should forego anything that is seen as immature/childish. Likely these people will consume things like television, movies ect., It's just a changing of the times and some people even though they are young are brought up by their boomer parents to think like them too. Shit be cyclical for a reason Anon.

You don't need to pile up on traits. The skinny fat guy with a more attractive face will always be more overall attractive than someone with 10% bodyfat. same applies to an attractive personality. The only rule is to be slim. Everything past that is a waste of time if your aren't exclusively doing it for self fulfillment purposes. You have to be incredibly delusional to not accept that. Being "fit" which most of you bimbo really are not, is below so many things on the "what makes you attractive" list that it's not even worth bringing up.

Vidya, even just 3D modeling, is far more profitable as an art and a trade than painting has ever been. Playing vidya teaches you good game design.

Video games is just hobby, why upset? There are many old men over 70 years old who are still playing board games such as porker, chess, mahjong...etc, do you see them complaining? You should be glad you still have the leisure time to play games. Just don't be a fag.

I'm 31 and still play games.

Your problem actually lies with:
>majority of my life gaming

I'm playing Persona 5 currently. Taking a while because it's -not- what I spend all my time doing.

Other activities this week:
>Finished the biography of Henry Clay that I was reading and started a novel on the american Civil War
>Went to a Jazz club with my wife
>secured a new freelance contract for myself with a television network (this just in, TV producers know literally nothing about anything)
>Cooked and ate dinner with another couple and talked about the dog they just got (they're first time owners, I've had the breed for over a decade)

You should NEVER spend the majority of your life gaming at any age. As long as you have other interests and respect your hobby as a hobby in regards to time management, you can game until you're fuckin' 80 and be fine.
>>
>The media brainwashed men into believing they HAVE to meet certain goals at certain ages
>The media tricks men into doing most of this so they can support a woman and a child
>By age 25 you're basically supposed to be God in the eyes of others, with a job, new car, house, and an above average salary at worst

Reality

>Jobs are a bitch to get and most are temporary, lasting maybe 5 years tops if you have a good run on a successful business that will eventually close down anyway
>Degrees becoming useless as time goes by
>Women in general are more and more shit-tier, but they will still berate you for enjoying video games, because they are legitimately jealous that a man can be happy without worshiping her vagina
>Same goes for any other hobby
>By age 24 you should at least have your bachelors degree and have some sort of par-time job, you can do better in less time but only if you get very lucky and use social engineering to connect to the right people, all for money

The true way to do it is to be living alone and playing the latest games on all consoles. What age you are is irrelevant. Men make fun of other men and their age because of women that planted the idea on them. Pussy is overwhelmingly irrelevant and extremely easy to get, so the whole "lol you still play games at 25" is just women being insecure of technology being better than them, which it is.

He just gave up.png
520KB, 600x402px
My birth was the result of a deal between my mother and father so she could get free drugs.
I came out kind of alright and fine with minimal mental and emotional defects but my childhood was shit because my mother kept moving from place to place and would disappear on me and my siblings for sometimes days to do her drugs.
I also had 2 abusive step-dads that would take their anger out on me since I was the eldest of my siblings and it wouldn't feel as bad for them even though I still only 10-13
My first brother has legitimate autism but he can still function pretty well in society.
My first sister has high-functioning autism and will probably need someone to take care of her for her whole life.
My second sister seems alright but she lives with my first and second brother and I'll get to that in a moment.
My second brother also has the same type of autism that my first sister has but he's remarkably younger.
While me and my first brother now live with my real father and he's not so bad, my 2 sisters and second brother live with a man that I know is neglectful and abusive but there's nothing I can do about it because the child protection services in the area I live are shit. Worst part is that the man they're living with is extremely unhealthy and has several extremely severe health problems and I am honestly worried that one day the kids will wake up to their one father-figure (albeit a very shitty one) dead on the sofa and none of them are over the age of 14 yet.
I myself have several financial and health issues because I can't find a job and I have been severely depressed now for years.
I dropped out of college due to lack of caring and I've all but stopped looking for a job and I know that my time is running out to get one since my father isn't going to support me forever.
Don't you fucking tell me that I'm too old to play video games because through my whole life to even now they have been the only fucking thing there to actually bring me joy.

All you're talking about is 1960 vs 2017

Using average income + inflation as a baseline, Cost of living is around 17-18 times higher now than it was 50 years ago.

Sure we'd all have new cars, houses, stay at home wives and 3 kids if all that shit cost the 1960s equivalent of $300/month

Baby Boomers are literal cancer.

I'm sorry but there's a lot of pressure at some age to do some things. For example women dont have all their life to have children and have the energy to properly raise them, and some for you. Its a lot easier to raise a child before you are 40 and more tired. Also regarding jobs, good luck finding a job if you are 35 and have 0 good job experience. I have a friend like that, finished uni at 32, never worked, people simply dont trust that compared to the guy finishing at 24-25 who worked during summers and whatnot.

When you become a man, you must give up your childish ways. Nothing childish about playing video games, but it is childish to put off your responsibilities for the consumption of media. There is an appropriate amount of time you can set aside for watching tv, playing video games, and it's about 10-15 hours a week maximum.
>>
>>376018898
There is no age. The problem is that you're spend a majority of your life doing it. THAT'S A PROBLEM.

Find a place where there is water, go swimming. Swimming is not an activity that you need to do with other people. Get a fucking HOBBY.

Shit, even if you can get a new job immediately, there's no guarantee they'll pay you immediately. I remember lining up a new job about a week after getting fired from my last one. They took a whole fucking month to train me off site, and they finally paid me a measly 300 dollars at the end of it. Even unemployment wasn't enough to float me by. I had to use credit cards in the mean time.

So yeah, not lining up a job before quitting is a gamble, a huge one. Even if you can basically guarantee you'll secure a new job immediately, you could be waiting a month or so before getting paid.

I can only assume these are people who live with their parents (or as you said roommate). That's the only way you can really do that, unless you're rich or saved up for this sort of thing.
