Why do millenials still play video games?

I’m fine if people want to pull out vidya for like a party or family game night. But many millenials still spend several hours a day playing solo video games. I’m 27, and it is pretty obvious to me that most of my peers stopped growing up in high school. What went wrong?

No friends, no GF. So what else should i do besides work, exercise and Jow Forums.

You faggot watch TV for hours a day like normies?

TV is worse than vista. Listening to radio is ok because you can do something productive while you’re listening.

Read a book
Build something
Craft
Garden

Need more alternatives?

rape

>productive
Not every action a person takes has to have a purpose

I enjoy seeing and consuming the worlds and stories people come up with. It's art to me. Go be mad about something less petty, ape. Oh wait, we're on Jow Forums.

Sound just like a boomer dad. Go mow the lawn or something

Yet here you are on a fucking shitposters forum on a computer (or good forbid a phone).

t. Worthless brainlet

because i fucking hate people

Unemployment rate in my cunt is 45%.. Go figure out. There are no good places to work.. Every time i went to work for some company or someone i got always ripped off,not paid on time. Last place i worked for was a supermarket store that exploited you as much as they could physically for 200$/month. Fuck that.. Let the economy fail and reform.

This is a fine thought but it doesn’t reflect reality. Video games are designed primarily to consume shitloads of your time. The art is always secondary

t. Insecure moralfag

Sounds very creative! You must be the artsy type. That's awesome. For those of us who aren't faggots like you, we enjoy the thrill of competition and the joy of crushing the enemy. Not something you can get from crafting and gardening, you silly little homosexual

Video gaming is one of the last artistic mediums that engage the male psyche and developmental spirit (competitiveness, skill, problem solving, etc)

why do you overpay for a cellphone?

t. inefficient unproductive workaholic. You need play time to maximize your energy.

he is right you retard, you are literally posting in this faggot forum right now with no real purpose and you are not being productive
You have to spend some hours from your day in relaxing with whatever way you see fit to help strenghten your mental conditioning

or better, eradicate the kikes once and for all

Playing games you actually stimulate the brain. Unlike watching a TV/movie/sport

The whole point of education was to rise productivity. But now the whole point of education is brainwashing because they reached peak productivity with machinery and computers.

NIhilist much? Jesus loves you and there a lot better things than vidya

The majority of fags asking me for healthy living advice are video game losers. They don’t want to put any work in to diet or exercise, they think I know some secret that they don’t. It’s called hard work and not being a lazy nigger who sits slurping pop in front of a game console all day.

well i guess the only good thing you could do in your country is start civil unrest. just hurl bricks at stuff. you’ll get fuckin ripped too

Kys

>NIhilist much?

Duno where you got that from... But i'm not religious and i have nothing against ancient novels.

What better things are than vidya? Dating women? You need money for that. I have yet to meet a girl who doesn't think about money or fucking chads to make memories.

Paradox games are fun you should try them.

>you can't diet and exercise if you play video games
you must really low IQ. Meal planning barely takes any effort and you can have a good body by working out 4 times a week for about 1-1.5 hours

Join a gym. Become chad.

>What went wrong
What pray tell is there to look forward to other than a life of servitude to a job, a boss, a wife, the kids, a mortgage, the bank, and the taxman?

>Initially, the population grew rapidly, doubling every 55 days. The population reached 620 by day 315, after which the population growth dropped markedly, doubling only every 145 days. The last surviving birth was on day 600, bringing the total population to a mere 2200 mice, even though the experiment setup allowed for as many as 3840 mice in terms of nesting space. This period between day 315 and day 600 saw a breakdown in social structure and in normal social behavior. Among the aberrations in behavior were the following: expulsion of young before weaning was complete, wounding of young, inability of dominant males to maintain the defense of their territory and females, aggressive behavior of females, passivity of non-dominant males with increased attacks on each other which were not defended against.[2]

>After day 600, the social breakdown continued and the population declined toward extinction. During this period females ceased to reproduce. Their male counterparts withdrew completely, never engaging in courtship or fighting and only engaging in tasks that were essential to their health. They ate, drank, slept, and groomed themselves – all solitary pursuits. Sleek, healthy coats and an absence of scars characterized these males. They were dubbed "the beautiful ones." Breeding never resumed and behavior patterns were permanently changed.

>The conclusions drawn from this experiment were that when all available space is taken and all social roles filled, competition and the stresses experienced by the individuals will result in a total breakdown in complex social behaviors, ultimately resulting in the demise of the population.

They're fun

"I hate boomers. How come they stopped growing up and kept going to Jimmy Buffet concerts? It really pisses me off and I feel like I'm missing out in the joy that can be found in life because I'm too much of a dweeb to go out if my comfort zone. Everyone should behave how I think they should behave. By all means, they are the ones that didn't grow up. I'm refined and post on an image board made for early teens to sperg out about otaku porn. Truly, I'm a man of refined taste."

Except these people become sedantry.

Growing up only brings you pain in this day and age. It's a silly thing to do.

I don't socialize, have a gf or friends so fuck it. I'm not hurting anyone by playing video games or using the internet.

virtual world is better than the real one

blame boomers

philosophical/ political books, politican action/discussion or socializing can prove to be better than video games in most cases but they are more taxing on your brain so I wouldn't put them in the same bracket, you should do everything within the borders of your mental and practical capacity

>Everyone should behave how I think they should behave.
This but unironically.

Can't because people here don't want to do protests unless you pay them or give them something for free. As long as people who were in USSR are still alive this is not gonna work here.... Also the people who live in the countryside go to Russia to work because the EU has no programs for people from east europe... They hate us because the only people who went to Europe after USSR collapse were gangs of thieves making our reputation to be those of thieves.

Is there any activity more boring in the whole universe than running? I swear to god nothing comes close to being so self-serving and useless.

Our country is a stinking pile of shit.

Literally a boomer.

Paying to lose weight and gain muscles... I would rather go work in construction and get ripped and paid.

>risking my KD ratio

Nah b

It's for body fat. To get cut you need near zero body fat

Walking.

>literally a boomer
Are you dense? The youngest boomer is 56

cardio is taxing to the body and the brain at least for me but it gives you plenty of positives, like reduced anxiety, depresssion and better conditioning
So you should do cardio but not overdo it if your body can't handle it. You should build it up

Go drink an energy drink, gramps.

>you need near zero body fat
do you even know anything fitness related or do you just read facebook articles?

Why are you so upset over how people choose to enjoy themselves? I'm sure many people consider posting on Jow Forums to be as much of a waste of time or as degenerate as you apparently consider playing video games to be.

There is one video game series in particular called "Zelda" that causes a lot of the guys who play it to end up becoming degenerate trannies.

if the german is saying so, ought to listen

Why do people consider it weird or funny that a man gets an erection, when two half-naked girls prance in front of him? Of course he gets an erection. You're a faggot if you wouldn't.

man you have honestly onyl played trash then, back to Gran Turismo my dude

They should have made Zelda a girl, so we wouldn't have this problem now.

every woman ive ever brought back to my apartment has been blown away by the 3-montior driving sim rig and wanted to have a go, every GF ive had thought it was great fun in moderation.


maybe youre just a fag with bad tast and no impulse control :/

i have your solution

>go to your local store
>pick up some black face paint
>go to a black neighborhood and start riverdancing
>bam you just got yourself into an irl version of temple run

We are not in EU yet... And i think that will never happen.

I just can't look at it in that kind of way... For me working out like that is just waste of time and money.

>read a book
Pseudo intellectual with superiority complex detected
Books are just as trashy and subversive and stupid as any other form of media. The ability to read doesn’t make you intelligent. Stop falling for memes by cornered animal hacks like Bradbury. It was an obvious and desperate attempt to stay relevant by authors when’s air became obvious how much more popular TV was.

Prove it.

So you’re saying radio theatre playing War of the Worlds was reflectively of reality? Impactful, hell yes, brilliantly clever as to how they launched it, but far from reality. Fiction and escaping reality has existed for over a millennia. “You shouldn’t believe everything you read in books/the paper” was around too. Different mediums doesn’t change anything about the fact that it’s fake and/or a way to waste time

depends on the book

Your country is fucked because of (((Europe))) and shitty politicians, go with Russia and fight the kikes!

>Craft
Found the hypocrite

You and I look at video games as a diversion of our youth. Something fun to burn a little free time. Millennials look at it as a lifestyle, and just like every other lifestyle choice they make, they've let it define and consume them. I used to blame the millennials for their retardation, but now I understand that they were experimented on, wholesale, by the public education system and the media, and they honestly swallowed the lie, hook (nose), line, and sinker, because it was all they ever knew. There was no father at home to correct the programming at school, and the programming was reinforced everyone the turned on the tv. And they aren't done yet, why do you suppose they want to own comics, video games, etc? To gather up the ones that fell through the cracks during the previous generation.

Homeschool your kids, user, and toss out that television.

>commute 3 hours every day to work and back
>take the train so I can play my switch
>at home I either do a work-out or learn for my further education
>when all is said and done turn into a fucking degenrate and play VRchat

Not everything has to be productive.

dont listen to this guy your kids are going to lack social skills and develop autism

Can't criticize gamers here OP, 99% of Jow Forums talk about degeneracy, faggots, trans, corruption, pedos etc but they can't ever come to final conclusion that bettering their country starts with themselves and motivating their peers. Go to the gym, learn languages, learn a musical instrument, learn an art, learn practical skills, eat healthy etc etc stop paying into an art that exclusively funds degenerate faggots that are going so far to erase your ancestors from WW2 now with cyber feminists and samurai niggers. I'm convinced that the majority of Jow Forums is simply people kiking themselves by projecting the things they hate about themselves onto others behind the safety of the user id.

You’re getting paid to work out instead of the other way around, as well as conditioning your body to harsher conditions. Don’t perpetuate a retarded argument and then shift the goalposts

Don't know how to say this, man.
It's not just millenials.
Some folk have never left school mentally, and they mire themselves in school level shit all their lives, it's all so tiresome in the workplace.
Then they die.
