Are video games a major problem for young men?

I just started playing video games again after not playing them for nearly 13 years.

I am already feeling addicted to it after playing for a week. I am losing interest in hobbies like hiking, classical music, and photography, and I just want to sit in my room and play video games.

Is this is what has happened to young white men across America? Are video games seriously paralyzing young men from taking charge and conquering the world before them?

Video games are like drugs. People literally sink thousands of hours into them, time that could be spent doing many other productive things to save the white race.

How do we pull young men out of their cuck sheds and make them stop loving the vidya?

I'd love to be addicted to video games. But most of them just suck now.

>I am losing interest in hobbies like hiking, classical music, and photography
Bullshit
You're a huge faggot take that controller cord tie it around your neck and pull as hard as you can

I like this guy, ATG or something
> classical music as a hobby
Lmao get some pussy faggot

this is true
they're all garbage. i do like some of the competitive ones like rocket league and the older call of duty titles. but i just don't play them because they're all shit now
videogames are generally harmless and are fairly stimulating. they are FAR FAR better than worshiping sports niggers and getting emotional over jamal scoring a basket or a touchdown

I've noticed my vidya habits have changed since becoming an Adult. I play vidya sparingly, and have other hobbies like reloading and shooting. Just like anything else, moderation is key.

games have been around since the dawn of mankind, played by adults, and strong men, of course. Competition, drive to mastery, will to power, all of these are healthy and normal human functions and desires.

There are some gems left.

>sucks dick
>with moderation of course

Will to power is the original lie of the devil

Video games are satanic by nature as are sports, secular music and TV before them. You'll see this extremely obviously if you're a Christian

takes too long and too many attempts to find them. I think the problem is partly me

>Will to power is the original lie of the devil
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

wanting to exist "independently" of god is the lie of the devil, not power itself. man was created to dominate the earth. bible's words, not mine.

Irl sports are more fun than video games. It’s useless and over priced. Video games should not exist.

And the nature of fantasy media is about escaping to a virtual world where God doesn't exist.

>And the nature of fantasy media is about escaping to a virtual world
Why are you criticizing the parables of Jesus?

tl;dr
kys idiot

Interestingly that would still fall under the dominion of a moderacy model because sucking dick is itself an extreme hobby so it would naturally be excluded.

Video game addiction is real, spending 1000s of hours of your life moving pixels around on a screen is not healthy. I know because I've done it. That said I think playing an hour or two of video games when you have morning else to do, as a way to unwind after work or something, is probably fine. It's when it escalates to 8 hour long sessions that there is cause for concern

This is pretty much the reason why I was able to quit video games, maybe combined with growing older, but they don't capture my attention like they used to. The last game I tried to play was the witcher 3, I put maybe 10 or so hours into it but I just couldn't be bothered to keep playing.

>Where God doesn't exist
>missing half the sentence

Dnd Vidya etc are mostly about people wanting to live in an alternate world where God isn't judging them and where demons and magic are benevolent. Vain imaginations .

This is the real point Christians had in the 90s. No , your average gamer won't murder their parents to drink blood because they played Dnd . But it turned them into atheists and/or people more receptive to the idea that the occult is a good thing

This is why even though plenty of Vidya have a "traditional" medieval setting , you have stronk female leads, mages helping the knights etc.


Because it's Satan projecting how he wishes the world could have been without Christianity

well by that logic then if god exists in the video game then it's okay, which i'm sure you don't agree with. God exists in GTA, does that mean god approves of killing police and soliciting prostitutes and violating traffic laws? Of course not. What I'm trying to say is that playing games isn't the problem, it's engaging in violence, as god hates anyone who loves violence (psalm 11:5)

Why aren't the people, who don't like them playing vidya, making the world better than any vidya they could play?

Sci-fi is a whole other rabbit hole to go down with regard to the entire origin of "space" coming from Crowley, L Ron Hubbard and Parsons and other satanists in US military intelligence.

All the typical space imagery is full of sex magic references, Saturn worship, dick shaped ships going into holes etc and aliens are demons

> it's Satan projecting how he wishes the world could have been without Christianity
i don't think satan cares too much about the particulars of how the world is. his tantamount goal is to subvert true worship of god, a goal which has had major success. beyond that he might care about perverting the natural beauteous order of things but it's surely not his primary goal

This. I finally got a job that doesn't enslave me and I have plenty of outdoor hobbies but sometimes I just want to lay back and play some games and disconnect for a little bit.
So I tried to play some games recently and realized I got bored after 10-15mins. I thought I just grew older but I played some old games and I really enjoyed them for 2 hours straight.

For some reason, fishing minigames in fantasy RPGs are a MUST now and developers think that running for 15mins and back to grab an unrelated item for an absurd NPC is fun.

Lol in Mario Odyssey you collect moons (symbol of feminine power) , and the conclusion is getting literally cucked on the moon.

And the reward for collecting all the moons is a fucking dress to wear while getting cucked.

This is because NASA founder literally partook in cuckolding ritual he called the "moonchild"

Soybot switch memes go wayyy deeper than you think

sci-fi can be aspirational too, like being able to control spacetime and wormholes and have laser guns. that sounds sweet to me. like all things, if used responsibly, does not violate one's relationship with god

News Flash: liking any type of music is not a hobby. Sure, classic music is amazing; im a fan of it, but you really seem like a roastie trying to appeal to Jow Forums. Video games don't waste people's time, they're another method of entertainment; like music or movies. if you play, watch, or listen to the shit ones then you really do waste your time. You can ignore games altogether.

>Wormholes

It's all contrived metaphor for buttfucking

Worms in holes, star portals. Literally all just sodomy

Ever heard of Celeste or LISA? there are some great games still there. Explore harder. If there aren't any good games, then just play classics.

i don't know that that's true but sure, okay. it's not a big concern

>IRL sports

Are you 16? Men who play sports past the age of 18 are even more pathetic than those that play video games (unless you're at the college level)

>Are video games a major problem for young men?
no, they are not
they are good for them

I finally found you!

No, they aren't. People have different tastes in different things. To some people, sports are bad, retarded, and unfun. most of my complaints about sports is the repetitiveness or the lack of any new sports being developed. Video games have the right to exist, such as tastes. Your opinion is biased, inconsiderate, and untried.

The fuck is wrong with you? Sometimes I just decide I can't continue with a game because I can't just sink 30-90 minutes into it every 5-6 days. Fucking games these days require serious time investments.

Kind of, like anything if it consumes your life it is a problem. It is an unproductive hobby, but it is no worse than like TV or some shit, it's just mindless entertainment. If you're bored you'd be better served doing something productive, but if you're just going to replace video games with TV or porn or Jow Forums it's not much of a difference.

No I’m a classical musician jackass

Classical music is the whitest thing that ever happenes. You can hear niggers getting colonized when you listen to some baroque

Ah, that great old Jow Forums greentext. Sadly, I am not the person in question. I'm not even accustomed to TF2 as I only got into multiplayer games when TF2 was pretty bad and unfun. I'm just another random user from the middle east; nice to meetcha.

No I play classical music I don’t just listen to it

>LISA
a friend told me about that one. i'll check it out.
i've been playing Mark of the Ninja lately. pretty good, farm from perfect but interesting mechanics, easy to get into, very "gamey" not a whole lot of cinematics to slog through

^Pretty much.

Don't do it. Read a book do something. I went from a gym rat to putting in 30kg in 2years after not playing games for a decade. Only just started working out again. Addiction us real.

I wish I had the time.
How does anyone have time to game when they're in a relationship.
Maybe its different when you're younger but I'm lucky if I can sqeeze any time for myself in most days.

"I play classical music"? classic music is music from old that is treasured or valued by some people today. Are you really old and happen to be one of the members of the good old bands, or do you just make music in the same style as classic music as label yourself "A classic musician"? You know, you could've just said "making music similar in style to classical music" and you wouldn't have had many people confused about it or sounded pretentious.

As if climbing a rock, listening to youtube compilations and taking pictures are fucking productive. Videogames are the superior hobby, faggot ass loser

>implying Jow Forums is any different
>implying this place isn't purposefully built to give you ADHD and prevent you from functioning in the real world
After being redpilled, there is hardly any use to browsing other than every once in a while. Yet many anons spend hours a day in this shithole. Why? Because it is meant to be addictive, give ADHD and blackpill people who dare question the rules.

>How does anyone have time to game when they're in a relationship.
could be because you're letting your woman's opinion control what you do. that would be the reason for most men in bad relationships.

LISA's mainly about child abuse, rape, and going through hell and moving forward. It's an rpg. You've got a nice friend, and you should :)
I've never heard of Mark of the Ninja, but i'll add it to my list of games to play/buy when i'm able to play or buy games. thanks for informing me about the game, user.

Holy shit you massive fucking brainlet

There’s new classical music coming out constantly. It’s not just people playing Bach over and over holy shit

We play video games because the world has already been conquered. Quit bitching and play WoW and love it.

The pastor is correct.

Can't stop grinding warthunder. Warthunder has become more fulfilling than my wife,career,school. I'm probably going to fail my college algebra but at least I've got my British jets. If I had a lot of disposable income I would rather spend it on virtual tanks than any true investments. Please end me GOD, I disgust myself.

You sound like a brainlet retard. I enjoy playing video games and listen to classical music in the background while playing. I also go back country camping several times per year. If you can moderate something fun you deserve death.

i hate to sound hack but maybe you need self-ownership. you ought to own the fact that you're doing what you're doing so that one day you'll be able to control and direct it. there's a reason you enjoy this more than IRL, and I don't think you're going to get anywhere by telling yourself you're a bad, weak person.

Oh hey, calling out names. Mature.

I know, but you saying that you're making "classic music" is completely false. Classics are characterized classics usually AT LEAST 10 years away from the current days. You can't call "classic music" something that's released constantly today. And I wasn't talking about bach, i was talking about stuff like queen, metallica, blue oyster cult, and etc. If you stopped assuming, maybe you wouldn't have made such a terrible point. and, finally, a person saying that they make "classic music" which is made daily is nothing but false. It also makes the person look like he's comparing his music to legendary music, and bragging massively.

This must be why Gamergate was such a huge redpill event. Feminists hit these cucks where it hurt, in their vidya. That made them want to vote against the Left.

classicAL music, not classic

Gamergate was a psyop to cause more false political movements to emerge that all reject Christianity

Anything with "gate" in it is usually some sort of occult ritual

What's the UAE like? Is it true everyone is super rich and yall got shiny futuristic cities because of the oil money?

no it's just that society has nothing better to offer

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the difference. can you explain? I really don't, and I'm not trying to sound as condescending. this may be my biggest mistake.

better than doing drugs

You're totally right, and I understand it I just keep defeating myself before I even start. It's comfortable to fail because you are "incompetent" I mean everyone does alright and I'm sure I can too. I just don't want to though. I really just wish I could sleep my life away in the woods ala rip van winkle. Just waiting for homelessness and eventually getting shot by some random as I sleep.

They are honestly a waste of time and you should quit as soon as possible.

No. We just don't get taxes and have some random events and stuff. Nothing really special. Don't get me wrong; UAE's a marvel, but it's just a middle eastern country that utilized oil to it's full potential. The population doesn't get anything, unless, of course, they're Emarati (have a UAE passport), and I'm not one of them. I'm Jordanian. I just live in the UAE since parents found a new job. Also, I'm 16, not a basement dweller. Also, need I remind you of how shitty it is to live in a desert?

classic is just an adjective like classic rock which usually refers to stuff from the 70s like the Eagles and Aerosmith and a myriad other bands. but back then it was just called rock; we call it "classic" now because it has stayed popular for decades since. it can also refer to stuff from another decade or another genre.

Classical specifically refers to orchestral stuff like bach, chopin, and there are modern classical composers who do the same thing.

More example of the ever present obsession with asses and sodomy gamers are driven to havr

it's not about asses, it's about nurturing sexual attraction for someone other than your wife. Surely you aren't saying that liking your wife's ass is sodomy?

Oh. That's the mistake I made. Welp, I admit defeat. Sorry OP for misunderstanding and thanks user for informing me.

I'm saying, using memes about ass fucking, people being sucked into butts as a show of power is an extremely degenerate, satanic mindset

Proving my point further

This evil is so banal that even to the "less degenerate" Jow Forums crowd it's second nature

Only play pic related nowadays, as it is uncuckable

Spending all of your freetime playing vidya is bad for you.

Moderation is the key (like to most things)

>therefore the fantasy world is evil
kek

Dude this only proves me right further

Btw SMT games are some of the most satanic out there, they promote gnosticism about God being evil, and Atlus was originally owned by (((Sega)))

Coincidence?

People aren't going to buy into your cult just because you say so. It's like Jeb's "pls clap, pls"

Great, now. It's a SAGE. too many stupid arguments, and faggots have flocked to this thread.

>If you have to be possessed by a spirit, it might as well be a retarded spirit."

It won't matter how many proofs I post because you'll dismiss them for being Christian

It's a problem that is solving itself anyway. Only japanese videogames are turning men into autistic retards and the japanese industry is currently collapsing. Their selling numbers are worse and worse each year.

The attitude of demon possessed gamers

>I just keep defeating myself before I even start.
Start what? If you're not personally ready, or less effectively, there is not adequate duress or consequences motivating you to change, you ultimately won't. You need to change your mindset so you aren't constantly telling yourself you're a failure, "before you even begin."
> I just don't want to though.
that's reason enough. It's not a moral or righteous reason but that's just how the cookie crumbles if your current situation is consequence free, or you're able to rationalize the consequences to the point they don't matter.
>I really just wish I could sleep my life away in the woods ala rip van winkle. Just waiting for homelessness
I don't know how this would work with a wife and family, but I can tell you from personal experience that I've been homeless for 3 years. I sleep in my car and don't pay rent. Not a bad gig for a single 25 year old like me but I don't know how that is supposed to work with a wife.

Waht about "Garden gate?"

This is exactly the sort of meme a demon would think of

Really though, these boomers should at least get to the point where the gamers can say "I really want your life" before they start telling the gamers to live great lives like they are.
