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.
Michael Long
>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
Dominic Rodriguez
I like this guy, ATG or something > classical music as a hobby Lmao get some pussy faggot
William Flores
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
Lucas Robinson
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.
Elijah Brooks
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.
Jeremiah Jenkins
There are some gems left.
Camden Morgan
>sucks dick >with moderation of course
Anthony Peterson
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
Easton Torres
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.
Cooper Lopez
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.
David Perez
>And the nature of fantasy media is about escaping to a virtual world Why are you criticizing the parables of Jesus?
Jason Miller
tl;dr kys idiot
Elijah Thomas
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.
Justin Cox
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.
Dominic Watson
>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
Dominic Moore
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
Camden Hall
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)
Camden Cox
Why aren't the people, who don't like them playing vidya, making the world better than any vidya they could play?
Luke Wright
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
Jacob Evans
> 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
Xavier Cooper
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.
Cooper Young
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
Caleb Peterson
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.
Dominic Davis
>Wormholes
It's all contrived metaphor for buttfucking
Worms in holes, star portals. Literally all just sodomy
Noah Garcia
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.
Logan Rogers
i don't know that that's true but sure, okay. it's not a big concern
Jackson Howard
>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)
Liam Smith
>Are video games a major problem for young men? no, they are not they are good for them
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.
Jace Wright
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.
Isaac Adams
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.
Owen Gonzalez
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
Daniel Harris
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.
Sebastian Reed
No I play classical music I don’t just listen to it
Luis Wood
>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
David Long
^Pretty much.
Mason Garcia
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.
Anthony Cruz
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.
Jayden Walker
"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.
Matthew Wood
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.
Joshua Reed
>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.
Ayden Cruz
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.
Jack Hall
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
Ryder Harris
We play video games because the world has already been conquered. Quit bitching and play WoW and love it.
Jason Ramirez
The pastor is correct.
Jace Hernandez
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.
Joseph Gomez
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.
Samuel Gutierrez
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.
Jack Barnes
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.
Christopher Garcia
classicAL music, not classic
Adam Evans
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
Connor Jackson
What's the UAE like? Is it true everyone is super rich and yall got shiny futuristic cities because of the oil money?
John Barnes
no it's just that society has nothing better to offer
Kevin Gutierrez
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.
Isaac Thomas
better than doing drugs
Brandon Foster
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.
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?
Chase Lewis
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.
Jose Hall
More example of the ever present obsession with asses and sodomy gamers are driven to havr
Jacob Bell
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?
Carter Bell
Oh. That's the mistake I made. Welp, I admit defeat. Sorry OP for misunderstanding and thanks user for informing me.
Christian Cook
I'm saying, using memes about ass fucking, people being sucked into butts as a show of power is an extremely degenerate, satanic mindset
People aren't going to buy into your cult just because you say so. It's like Jeb's "pls clap, pls"
Tyler Kelly
Great, now. It's a SAGE. too many stupid arguments, and faggots have flocked to this thread.
Connor Jackson
>If you have to be possessed by a spirit, it might as well be a retarded spirit."
Benjamin Murphy
It won't matter how many proofs I post because you'll dismiss them for being Christian
Eli Campbell
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.
Ian Gray
The attitude of demon possessed gamers
Jose Gonzalez
>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.
Isaac Harris
Waht about "Garden gate?"
Brayden Johnson
This is exactly the sort of meme a demon would think of
Owen Brooks
Not sure what you're referring to, but perhaps "gardengate" was when Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden
These posts are the result of complete possession by the retarded spirit
Elijah Fisher
>reloading and shooting
Lol wow that sounds like a fucking blast. I wish I had your life.
James Long
Planetside 2 has ruined all other games for me. It’s addictive. I frequently have to take long breaks in order to keep my life in order.
Isaac Lee
>I wish I had your life kek
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.
