She is absolutely right tho.

No, really, she is trying to give you a wake up call on life.

>Proceeds to tell me if I want to marry her I need to quit with the games and focus more on her
you should have told her that games are a part of your life and while you're happy to spend time with her, it's a part of your life she needs to accept and that she's welcome to get involved with it if she wants to spend more time with you
if she can't accept that, then maybe she's not right for you

Not cool of her to sell your stuff without your permission, regardless of her intent. Still, I wager she'd get off your back if you were in shape. Just start running and lifting, and you'll still have plenty of time for vidya.

You're hobby is for small children.

>>378962271
Video games are an acceptable hobby for normie adults now too. /v/ is stuck in 1998 with this shit.

Terrestrial radio hosts talk about video games all the time now and terrestrial radio is pretty much as normie as it gets. Same with normie podcasts like Doughboys.

A popular and critically acclaimed television show depicts a POTUS who plays video games.

It's normie dawg. Don't worry.

Because clearly if you read books you are absorbing philosophy which will automatically make you a better person and so on
These threads are made solely so that people can shit on videogames and people who like them, either because they're trolling or because they're so insecure that they genuinely believe that they can't be successful without limiting themselves to what they think are more socially acceptable hobbies
But, again, who gives a fuck
>>
>>378962482
hobbies are hobbies and video games are targeted at all audiences from kids to adults. games of a heavily sexual nature or that deal with dark or philosophical themes are typically not targeted at kids at all.

i know this might be hard for you to understand but it's actually possible to have multiple hobbies and still be active while having time to play video games. i work 40 hours a week, play video games, read visual novels, and still have time to work out every day and sometimes go biking on the weekend. it's not hard to set aside half an hour each day for exercise.

My buddy and I constantly focus on improving in whichever area we are falling behind the other. We started out roughly the same, but I started to dominate in anything that used legs and he outperformed me on pure upper body. We adjusted our routines and supplementary workouts to git gud at what the other guy did better and now we're pretty much balanced.

I have lifted with people that slowed me down though, and I'm usually okay with that if I know I wouldn't have worked out in the first place. Consistency is way more important than going super hard every time.

>Because clearly if you read books you are absorbing philosophy which will automatically make you a better person and so on
most books, movies, and certainly music aren't that insightful. most books are for entertainment, almost all movies are for entertainment, and most music is about fucking. none of it's that insightful. video games are the same way; most are meant for entertainment, but there are a few that are designed to make you think a bit, like planescape: torment or kotor 2. the medium's a lot younger, so there aren't as many, but any medium where a story can be told or an idea can be conveyd has the potential for philosophical insight.

When will you outgrow sportsball?

But seriously I go through phases where I really enjoy and connect to video games and then times where they're meh. I'll go through this probably forever, but the good thing is over the past 2 years I've really been into them a lot.

>>378962913
Good for you man.

But who says a hobby has to be productive anyway? I play basketball at the rec center maybe two hours a week. The biggest thing I get from it is blowing off steam really. Just like video games.

You could say that it fosters team work and social interaction, but I learned how to interact in school decades ago. And it doesn't foster teamwork in general, just teaches you what you need to do to win at basketball.

Most of the time it means deferring to the 6'5 guy who played in the NBA D league for a few games because he mostly knows what he's talking about. Yay teamwork.

i have dedicated about 1/3rd of my houses basement into a retro game room and have my desktop and a few consoles upstairs as well.

all it takes is a little understanding, she don't mess with my video games and i don't mess with her romance novels.

>shut up its just a hobby!!

Video games and anime are degenerate hobbies. They give rise to beta numales in our society and autistic manchildren on /v/. The le i enjoy it so it's ok xD meme doesn't change the fact that you're wasting away your youth playing vidya all day when you could be doing shit healthy young adult men should be doing, and not sitting in front of a screen and getting excited over 3D computer images.

It's honestly pretty pathetic how some of you rationalize your self deterioration. Vidya is one of the lowest forms of escapism from adulthood and maturity, and an excess obsession with it signals stunted psychological growth and will likely lead you to an unfulfilling life. But go ahead and call me a normie or a wagie or whatever, if that helps you dismiss your very real and debilitating issues and insecurities you have going on in your life right now.

True enough, but it worries me that he specifically says he uses games to reject reality.

Specially when he says he likes games because if he screws up he can just start over, at a certain point in life he's going to have to deal with the fact that you can't do that.

You're not allowed to play games as a hobby.

Hold up.

This is ignoring the fact that playing games have benefits that normal activities wouldn't. They help with social skills, enhance friendships, improve creativity, and make your reflexes faster. If you're going to spend your night after work watching TV or Netflix, you're better off playing a game with some of your friends at work.

Don't be playing for 5 plus hours, take a trip to the gym for a bit, and look at that, you're a "normal" person playing videogames.

I will grant you the PS3 as I am convinced from will one day port Demon's Souls forward, and Atlas will get us dragon's Crown to a new gen.

But Xbox huge has a completely un-emulated library. Which is annoying as it was THE BEST couch co-op machine period. Hunter the Reckoning, the best versions of the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games, and more. It also had the best Punisher game version and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness ran better on it than Ps2 (annoyingly the game has never been put on the PSN or XBlive networks).

There's other gems on that system like the Mech Assault games which while unbalanced were fun arcade mech games. I particularly enjoyed the second.

Point is though, fuck people who take other people's shit. That's a clear indication they have no respect for you, they do not view you as a person.

The sad thing about having video games as a hobby is that they are almost always much easier to master than any other life skill.

This is why they're looked down upon. It's not because they're uncool or something like that. It's because men usually master skills which are actually very challenging to master and take a long time to get a hold of.

Take a sport or craft as an example. You have to spend 1000s of hours just to be considered 'ok' at carpentry or baseball. How long does it take to be good at Dark Souls? 100 hours? There are exceptions to this but are those games the popular ones or even the respected ones?
>>
>>378966146

If you can't see the clear as day link between obsessive vidya and anti-social and other psychological issues clearly present in many gamers, ESPECIALLY the ones on /v/, then you're likely just deflecting or are really that stupid.

Because they aren't playing the game with a team focus. They mainly care about themselves and suffer because of it. When you're playing a game with your online buds and just talking about what's going on in life, the game, and being a dick to the other team, all while trying to make sure everyone is good, covered, and working together, it's great. (Don't take the game too seriously though. You'll push people away.) Another reason why you see a lot of socially awkward people too is because they know nothing but videogames, thus they have a harder time trying to engage in a conversation or topic that doesn't revolve around that.

If you play games 24/7, yeah, that's not good. Everything is in moderation.

>The sad thing about having video games as a hobby is that they are almost always much easier to master than any other life skill.

I don't really agree with this. I've played melee for a decade and I'm only somewhat competent in terms of high level play. I can smoke anyone off the street obviously, but there are thousands of people out there who are better than me, and they got that way by grinding.

Same with league, Street Fighter, or any other competitive game.

It works with non-competitive games too. Take Mario Maker. There are people who are clearly better at making levels than other people and they got that way by making and playing a ton of levels.

Hey Anon, maybe what your wife doesnt like is that you go down there for too much time, talk with her about that, if she wants you to be around more instead of being alone then you can fix that, if she just doesnt want you enjoying something that obviously makes you happy and you are so passionate about then tell her to go fuck herself, it will be better now than later.

You're like cats. You get a cat, they're energetic and fun when they're small. Then they grow up and they just sit around all fucking day, looking all serious and ignoring you constantly.

That's you and your type. Fucking "mature" gayboys who think they've ascended. No, you didn't you're just a manchild who thinks his """""maturity""""" commands some sort of respect and dignity.

I'm not good with suggestions, but..
If you haven't played Breath of the Wild, do so. Don't care if you play it on WiiU, Switch, or PC. Play it.

Looking for a game to fap to but want to play an actual game? Kurovadis is fun. Can be challenging at times, but a quick fap will take care of that.

The game I'm currently stuck playing everyday is For Honor, but that is definitely not for everyone. If you can handle disconnects and want a challenging sword-fighting based game, play that.

Want something more adventurous and indie? Hyper Light Drifter fits that bill pretty well.

>Video games and anime are degenerate hobbies
A hobby is something someone does in their free time, and degenerate by definition is an immoral or corrupt person. Enjoying video games is not immoral or corrupt. You could argue neglecting other responsibilities to play video games is immoral, however that is a different issue altogether.
>They give rise to beta numales in our society and autistic manchildren on /v/
'Beta' people, those who have no confidence or social skills are not the only people playing videogames, and not all 'beta' people are playing videogames either. Correlation =/= cause.
>The le i enjoy it so it's ok xD meme doesn't change the fact that you're wasting away your youth playing vidya all day when you could be doing shit healthy young adult men should be doing, and not sitting in front of a screen and getting excited over 3D computer images.
Such as? You blame video games for being the cause of a lack of social interaction or doing meaningful things, yet they are not. I hit the gym and then play games on my days off, and go out at night with my friends sometimes. Its just a hobby, and you're confusing it with addiction. Addiction to anything, such as partying or any other activity healthy young men are doing is bad.
>>

She's trying to save him. Either leave her or wear your fucking watch and shave your fucking face. Be a man for someone who wants you to be someone in their life. Wants you to be the person they look up to in their life. Not the basement dweller who was fun and easy-going but never learned to care for or understand anyone but themselves.

>>378969817
A hobby is not a way of life, you fucking loser.

If he's a loser, I accept that. But he's going to get fucked behind his back. This is the first step. Next is emotion distance, then physical, then that's it. No more sparks, no more love, she will be unhappy with everything that is him because he'll lose all his masculinity, all of his integrity, all that she thought he might've had.

YOU sound like you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Everyone enters in a relationship, loves and hates things about the other person because nobody is perfect. This isn't a fucking anime, not a cartoon, not a goddamn movie. There's always compromise and always deliberation. Nobody will accept you 100% in this world besides maybe your mother. If you don't listen when your partner speaks, if you don't wake up when the time is right, you'll be wishing you did. You'll wake up next to someone who doesn't love you and doesn't respect you. And then they'll be waking up next to another man and then going home to you.

He needs to get out if he can't or if this is a bridge too far.

Why is this Reddit meme so popular? People seem to just love taking an old photo and recreating it years later. I mean to the person doing it may be cool, but why do others give a fuck?

To answer the question, I grew out of videogames when I became a normie with friends and a good job around 23ish. I'm 28 now and I rarely play. I don't think I'll ever stop playing games like smash with friends or trying out the new Mario or Zelda games, but I can't be fucked to buy a new console every generation or upgrade my pc every few years. Any games i play at my house now alone are on my toaster laptop with games from like 2010. I just enjoy shitposting on this board to kill time and out of years of habit

Married. You know, being responsible with his life and taking care of someone who was desperate enough to, in their fucking thirties, sell something of his to get his attention, instead of thinking he can bum around and be a fucking loser and this noncommittal fuck going nowhere, just worried about whether or not his PS3 is still going to be with him when he's 43.

If that's his identity, then there's no reason to post. He should've left her by now.

If pieces of plastic sitting in a room next to your TV is your identity, then that's okay too. But I don't blame anyone for not being too happy when the person they love is losing their interest because they aren't listening. Nobody does this unless they are reaching out, trying to say something important. If they love each other then listen. If it's not that, then just leave her.

Old guy here. I got linked to this thread by a buddy of mine who thought I'd find the relationship discussion interesting.

Just thought I'd chime in and say that you're way off base with the anime comparison. Video games are fairly normal for normal young males. The so-called "betas", as you called them, tend to be against video games and are the ones you're always seeing trying to get them banned. Anime on the other hand is just for plain old perverts that look like that "fedora tipping" meme guy. There's no comparison.

I think depends. If a guy decides tojust get a simple job and waste away playing vidya what do i care. If he is happy better than to aim high and have a shitty unfulfilling life.

Simply reading does not make you smarter unless you're still learning how to read. Some books are educational, but recreational reading is as much a waste of time as any other activity.

What are you talking about?

Doing "too much" of something is inherently bad for you. There are plenty of people that read too much, you're just not thinking of them. Think of the anti social bookworm that barely does anything besides bury their nose in a book. Same for board games, there are plenty of grognard neckbeards at any local hobbyshop.

Thats not how that works retard. By your logic the fish billions of years ago should have never left the sea because they werent designed for that.
>>
>>378975215
not him but it's possible to do all those things and still find time to play video games.
nothing is forcing you to play 10 hours a day. I get about 2 hours a night to play and 3-4 on the weekend and still manage to beat most new titles that I want to play.
None of this has stopped me from being gainfully employed, working out 3 days a week, and reading books or listening to them in the car on the way to work in traffic.
I agree with you on all your other points though, discipline is what separates us great men from weak little manchildren.

generally in life, you should never do things just to be able to tell you did them. there are things you are forced to do like getting a degree and a job. but if youre introverted, dont go clubbing. i fucking love clubbing. i would never, ever take my mate clubbing because i know he fucking hates it.
if you do something for a social pressure you arent respecting yourself.

doing things just to get women is fucking pathetic. you should find something youre passionate about. people (so, women also) love other people who are passionate about things. faking being passionate about something just to attract these people is miserable

Its because videya is so new. Mainstream industry really started with the NES. The current videogame industry hasnt even been a thing for 50 years yet. And it has gained real mainstream ground only the last decade or so.

You have no idea what long term savings or goals are. You're severe short sightedness has made it impossible for you to rational think about the future in a mature way. Maybe once you get older and a crisis happens it will give you a very sudden and urgent wake up call of what terrible decisions you had made for yourself in life.

around 29ish for me. i barely play them i just post here instead.

Not really. Humans aren't designed to lift weights. You'd be more accurate to suggest people run.

Not socializing and isolation literally causes brain damage. It's been studied. Stop sitting in your house all day playing video games.

For me it was age 29.

Games just don't hold my attention like they used to. It's like this: when I want to read a book, all I have to do is open up the page and I'm immediately immersed. When I want to go for a walk, all I have to do is leave my house and I'm outside.

In comparison, games are incredibly inefficient forms of entertainment. When I want to play a game, first I have to sit through a bunch of cutscenes, loading screens, and logos. I have to download updates. I spend money on micropayments and/or deal with horrible communities. To continue playing them, I have to buy a bunch of new expensive electronic equipment every few years. With few exceptions, games have become awful corporate messes. Playing them is like literally giving up your life for trash.

Note that I still play the occasional game. Recently I've enjoyed Undertale, Stardew Valley, and Hearthstone (before I realized how much of a money sink it was). But this is nowhere near how it was for me in the past, where I'd play WoW for 6 hours straight or TF2 every night after work.

The really funny thing is that I'm a game developer. I made this shit my career. I give it another year or so before I quit and cash out someplace like Google or Amazon instead.

>having a useless degree is still better than having no degree at all

No it isn't. You have debt and no added ability to pay it off and you wasted 4 years that a non-student spent getting job experience.
>>
>>378976158
Doubt it. Its not about handling better but its about the way that person is. If they dont wnat that anon playing videogames then she is gonna resent him every time he does it and eventually that is gonna seep into other parts of the relationship.

Is it that I'm not rational or is it that society has told you that "saving for retirement" is important and so you do it without actually thinking about the implications of it?

In America it's definitely better to have any degree than no degree. A lot of people gets jobs outside their degree's scope they just want to know you are capable of completing the modest task that is finishing a degree.

I didn't start at 100k but I'm there now after 5 years of working in the field. I went to a state school too. Don't act like going to an ivy league school is necessary, when you're already in the field your skill will shine regardless of where you got your degree from.
