This is such a cope out, like a man chooses to be a piece of shit and drop out to play video games and people go "Man I blame his parents!", when is it ever the person fault for doing something?

Like I get this is a video game board so most of ya'll will side with the person playing games, but dropping out to just play games is pretty dumb.

A lot of "video game addiction" stories are pure BS but this one I have to agree with the parents.

I'm addicted and been addicted since grade school. I'm so lucky I made it through and got a 4 year degree. I have such a shit attention span for school work and studying.

I hated going to school and I only liked recess and lunch at the cafeteria where I talked about vidya.

I had trouble sitting in the classroom and following directions when I was a adolescent.

Now I play vidya everyday, lurk 2D waifus, go out and buy expensive clothes and chill at the mall, and look for a job.

Dear. God I do love it..

Do you know what parents are like? They're fucking pathetic. They suck literal shit most of the time. They don't let their kids face consequences and we end up with a population full of faggots who lack empathy and decency. Parents are the worst race on the planet.

Better yet parents as a population include the little shits their raising, as they're guaranteed to grow up and breed just like their slut potato parents.

I don't pour every free hour into gaming anymore, unless I just absolutely fall in love with a game and can't wait to get home and play more. There's been an upswing of that recently because 2017 has been great for bideo gaems so far, but otherwise it's nothing too bad.

On an unrelated note, is there a version of that wilderness program for people who aren't dumb teenagers with parents that are better at making money than actually parenting? 2 months technology free in the wilderness of the northwest sounds pretty fucking great.
>>
>>377483176
Clearly his parents were morons.

They should have bought him a face cam, some editing software and a microphone then told him to become a Twitch streamer.

I mean sure, chances are he wouldn't become that successful but you never know, still a better option trying to turn his obsession into a job than sending him to some kind of dumb camp that he'll come back from no different than he was when he left.

As things stand the only change that will happen when he gets back is that he'll get beaten up when he goes outside for being a fag because his retarded parents were stupid enough to reveal to the world that he tried to hire a transexual prostitute.

That kid is going to commit suicide thanks to the combination of gaming addiction and retarded parents ruining his life completely.

I was addicted to video games when I was younger, but now I'm addicted to drugs and video games are just a fun hobby again. Would recommend.

My grandma would often complain to me that I was addicted simply because I played my DS a lot when I was over. I love my grandfolks but they aren't really the most exciting people and they live in the outback so there's not much for me to do. My mom was very overprotective so I wasn't allowed to have outdoor adventures like my dad did.
I remember getting DQ9 for christmas from my folks there and her complaining it was violent saying it would desensitize me.

I don't get the desensitization meme. I've played violent shit like DOOM and No More Heroes and I'm pretty sure I'd freak the fuck out if I found a corpse.

It's not addictive in the "your body begins to literally, biologically not function without it" kind of way, but in the "it becomes a psychological compulsion" kind of way that can happen with literally anything you do habitually.

They think it would desensitize people because instead of how TV has you passively watching people fuck and die the darn evil videogames would be forcing your hand in the act, therefore you can't separate reality from fiction because you pushed X to kill

I play 3-4 hours after work and 20 hours on the weekend. That dude is a casual
>>
>>377483885
40 hours a week of work is just 8 hours 5 days a week.

Assuming normal working hours that would be 9-5 every week day. After factoring travel time, that leaves 6-10pm every week night (4 hours a day) and 9-10 on weekends (26 hours in all) for recreation.

This allows a grand total of 46 hours a week of excess time for recreation. Even after your take out time spent preparing and eating meals (about 6 hours) and time spent with friends (probably averages to about 10 hours a week, that being a pretty generous amount in fact) that leaves 30 hours of free time.

20-30 hours of gaming a week while having a full time job and a social life is entirely possible.

Addiction usually happens because of lack of fulfillment in other areas of life, not just because of the addictive properties of whatever they're abusing (with the exception of shit like meth and heroin which will fuck up pretty much anyone).

The parents are entirely at fault here. They obviously were pretty bad rple models (I bet both parents watch TV like crazy all day) and did nothing when their son started to indulge his hobby. The boy was 14 (?, I guess that's about the age in 8th grade, don't know much about the burger schoolsystem), so the parents still had the supervision over him. If only zhey could get their stare off the TV for a single moment they should habe realized their son was using the PC more than what's good for him and could have interved early with social competence training and other things. Train hima behaviour in which playing hid PC is a reward, not some god given privilege. But bevause they fucked up early, exactly because of that, they couldn't do abything later. Taking the PC away was a punishment and punish,ent is never good. It's hilarious the parents think this wild survival shit will have other effect than their son hating them even more. It's pretty much an extended punishment.

Stuff like this happens because you neglect your children. A large problem with how the last generation of parents raised their children was that rather than spend time with their children, they spend money on their children and hope it works out. Before the major advent of the internet you could more easily get away with this because loneliness and necessity for social contact would eventually drive most people out, but the internet provides the ultimate feedback system. You can find people who agree with you easy, find people who like stuff you like easy, and you can easily cut individuals out of your life using it. So all the parents who assumed they could skate without investing time into the kids get stuck with these cases.

I should know from first hand experience and most of you should too. The long years of coming home to an empty house and waiting for the rest of your family to arrive at 10:00 pm at the earliest because they had friends they wanted to hang out with.

They were late 30s/early 40s. They didn't get divorced. They stuck together the alcoholic one finally got treatment because they thought it'd be worse for us kids.

Desintization isn't a meme, as this can indeed happen to young people.
However, as you get older you start to differentiate fiction from real life, you're starting to understand the act of "make-believe" a video game offers.

So yeah, playing/watching violent shit is bad for children, and the bad behaviour can cling for quite a while, but it doesn't turn you into a fucking murderer.

>>377486129
No. I was at a wilderness camp for 2 days and I was pretty much ready to kill everyone. We walked for 6 hours straight in rocky terrain, and when it was time to sleep all the R-tards in my group kept waking each other up, and then at around 2 AM the teachers woke everyone up and forced them to march out into some spooky skeletal forest

I say "them" because at this point I called my parents and said I'd cook my own food for the rest of my life if they came and saved me right now. This is a promise they held me to.

The difference is that was almost every day.
We didn't eat together. We didn't do things together. We didn't watch anything together. We didn't go out together. We didn't clean together. We didn't work together. Everyone went to their room and stayed their when they got home. It was a silent home. A home where the only noise was the sound of the cars driving down the road.

Some games are healthier to play then others

Games like Monster Hunter are extremely healthy because they improve your reflexes, hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, observational skills and tenacity, while also providing enough downtime where you can listen to audiobooks or informative videos without losing control.

Unhealthy vidya is anything online involving "social" "interaction" since you're only replacing the basic desire of actually meeting people with something similar yet a million times less useful while sinking thousands of hours into something just to feed your obsessive addiction.

I love how parents think the solution to "fix" their kids is to alienate them more from them by taking away things and sending them far away to go camping with a bunch of strangers.

Heaven forbid a parent actually get in involved with their child and be friends with them by taking part in activities that interest them as well as be a parent and help them understand that there's more to life than stuff like video games.

Most of all though, if you want your kid to respect and listen to you, you have to respect and listen to them first.

that was like me except I dropped out at like 14, went back to school for a year at 16 then dropped out again at 17. I would skip school and go home to play vidya and jerk off. At 20, an uncle offered me a job 300 miles away from home and I moved in with him and his Chad son that was like 3 years younger than me. My Chad cousin would force me to hang out with him and go everywhere with him and eventually I lost interest in vidya. I went to parties, had money from work, lost my virginity, became an alcoholic, etc. At 23 I was making 30/hr and living in my own apartment. I started having schizo symptoms and lost it all. Moved back home and got on neetbux and pay parents rent. I'm 28 now and all I do is funpost, jerk off and drink. I don't play vidya unless I'm drunk. Probably dying soon cause of my alcoholism.

If you're gay that's cool I guess. I think people don't understand that straight guys are completely wired to be straight. It's like a nuclear missile being dropped, there's no turning back from the moment you get spit out. You get to be extremely strong and fast but everybody hates you because you can make crib midgets appear.

I dunno. I usually do nothing but play games or browse online after work when I get home everyday, unless theres something that absolutely forces me out of the house like a doctor appointment. I did fail college multiple times but I don't know if games are to blame. If I didn't get to play them each day I wouldn't be able to handle going in to work full time either. It's my one thing that keeps me from sinking into total depression, cause I love playing them.

I get that, but I still feel like you're just hardened at that point.

I never implied your dad was abusive. I never even implied your relationship with your father was bad. I'm saying that if this was the relationship between your dad and a piece of shit (IE not you) it would not necessarily make your behavior more positive, because some people are just pieces of shit. Strict parenting isn't the key to making all kids better magically, because parents do not mold their children in their totality. Kids are their own people.
>>
>>377492042

My parents weren't strict at all. I think you mistake strict parenting with stern parenting. Have a little fun yeah, but when lessons need to be learned, you sit down and learn them.

Lest some state program decides that the parents are incompetent. Which is conflicting because it has no measurement.

My mother had a masters and my father a doctorate. I think it's hilarious that they had no respect for me. Why would you? I mean, love is another thing but I dare you, if you're a parent to respect your child on an intellectual level.

There is no video game involved in school shootings, rather bad parenting that lets their kid get access to guns and misuse them.

The only reason I'm addicted to video games is because my parents where vindictive assholes and master fucking trolls and never let me play video games or read comics growing up.

The first day of bike ridding lessons with my dad he ripped the cartridge out of my sega and grounded me for a month.

Then right when school started my mom grounded me for the entire year because I got one wrong on a spelling test.

There is a third option. I got diagnosed with autism when I was young.

Now as an adult I have been married for 20 years and have three kids and have a decent career.

You're right. They did the right thing. They let his addiction grow out of control, let him drop out of school and didn't intervene until he started trying to bone a tranny. Then they sent him to some hippie camp because they couldn't think of anything. Absolutely great parenting. Wonderful.

Why do people always try to remove the addictive substances, rather than change the behaviour that's prone to addiction?

Clearly the parents/school didn't offer a good enough real-life experience, that the kid chose to escape to seductive virtual worlds instead.

>online gaming
>transexual prostitutes
On top of that, the kid has such garbage decadent plebeian tastes. If THESE are the types of things stealing the kids attention away from family/school, then the latter must be even worse than if it was good games (since to be fair, the greatest games can truly compete with other great real-life experiences, whereas this garbage will only be addictive to extremely troubled people).

Mass Shootings are almost assuredly the fault of mass televised media making it an instant way for the homicidally disaffected to give themselves instant national antiheroic infamy in an extremely dramatic fashion. The meme shifts too, mass shootings in the 80's were almost exclusively associated with disgruntled government workers, they started calling it "going postal." Since Columbine, school shootings took way the fuck off because of how Eric and Dylan were immortalized by the media coverage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PezlFNTGWv4

Availability of guns is obviously a factor, but you used to be able to mail-order a tommy-gun with 60 round drum mags in the fucking 30's and the worst that ever game from it was the mafia shooting each other up.

That reminds me, my aunt is a Muslim convert and had three children to some guy who had another family back in Syria and fucked back off to there. These children are bad little shits who think they can do whatever they want because their mother doesn't discipline them; e.g. if they have food they don't like they'll throw it on the floor.

Anyway, a few days ago her dad was babysitting her children and they were being horrible little shits again, now, her dad is in his 70's so he's old school, but a real chill guy and even they pushed his patience.

So what did he do? Took out his belt and started whipping them. It fairly changed their tune, let me tell you. Too little discipline from parents nowadays.

Bad children quickly figure out not to be scared of lame duck authority figures. Sometimes, you really do have to bust out the belt to make them understand. Putting them in time out or taking away their toys doesn't work on really independent children.

As a kid I just acted worse towards anybody who tried physical punishment with me. I've always had a high pain tolerance, it just pissed me off that they were trying to control me by hitting me while telling me not to hit anybody. But I did the same thing with anybody who talked down to me like I wasn't as good as them because I was a kid. I eventually just mellowed out around 12 and told any adult who tried that shit to fuck off, because I was big enough to just leave or fight back, and they were all forced to reason with me.

People who do that are already gross. That "one with nature" shit dies about four days in when you're realizing that the gear we gave you is the only reason you're eating. It wasn't fairy farts and hobbit mushroom or some crazy shit.

lmfao
You are this done. I bet you don't even know jackshit about the early 20th century. Study some history, it might do you some good.

Alright man, you activated my almonds for a moment but now your bait game is getting weak.

Actually that's keeping me up with the times because by not treating women with that mentality I get sex on the regular

'So what?' The difference is that nobody would be appalled by my refusal to hit children. I think you're naive to the fact that the cons far outweigh the pros. I also think that your 'certain circumstances' must apply to very extreme situations, if you call yourself a liberal.

No, they would just think you naive/inexperienced/fool/childless
>I think you're naive to the fact that the cons far outweigh the pros
What cons?
>I also think that your 'certain circumstances' must apply to very extreme situations
Not really. Corporal punishment is ideally rarely used, but it's not exactly "extreme" situations. Do you even know what an extreme situation is? It's something like your child getting hit by a car or getting a disease or getting arrested.
>if you call yourself a liberal.
I don't just call myself a liberal, I am a liberal.

please proofread you degenerate
good points tho

Hypocrite. You criticise me for not backing up my opinions with proof. Broad-scope history is irrelevant. We are talking about how the laws around physically disciplined your child have changed. It's obvious for a number of reasons that there has been significant change. As I said, disprove it.

The thing is I listened to anybody who was willing to reason with me. I was just defiant and refused to listen to people who talked down to me or hit me. I was infuriated that some would even tell me what I did wrong, understand that I wouldn't do it again after apologizing, and then punish me anyways because that's what they're supposed to do. Most kids are like that, and physical punishment just makes it worse if they can tolerate the pain. If you're set on one form of discipline instead of finding what works for your child, you're just a shitty parent.

I think there are a lot of pros to hitting kids that you're not identifying. Or else I just hate kids, which is true.

Parents-

>eugh why would you hit kids?

Others-

>why wouldn't you

Eh, got em there. Hit the fuck out of them.

>why is the does the color yellow smell green

Slap them. It's 100% irresponsible not to.
