Did we lose an entire generation to internet and video games?

No, there is nothing wrong with it as long as people have balance.

shut up you dumb boomer. still better than fighting brown chinks in some jungle

It wouldn't be that bad if our media wasn't ran by degenerate far left faggots

It must suck to know that two plumbers made of computer data did a better job at parenting than you did.

Reality sucks hairy balls, so yes.

this

human intelligence is at an ever-increasingly high amount
video games stimulate certain areas of cognitive ability
it's degenerate nigger music and nigger behaviour that is killing children

my dad gave me intellectually stimulating games and listened to classical music (or just not negro noise), and i turned out fine. we all did.
we've all been like this for decades. this isn't the first generation.

i said fine, not exceptional
i made my own mistakes

Motherfucking liberal regulations taking the fun out of spending time outdoors

>Want to go fishing
>Oi you got a loicence for fishing

>Want to go build a treehouse in the woods
>Oi you're destroying the environment

>Want to shoot pellet gun in back yard
>Oi, you could could kill someone with that

>Want to ride dirt bike in the local woods
>Oi, you're destroying nature

>Want to go camping in the forest
>Oi, this campground is closed for the season

>Want to go shooting in the national forest
>Oi, if you shoot the trees that's a $5000 fine, they have feelings too.

>lose

Depends on how you define it. Was there a generation of absentee parents that allowed television and video games to occupy their children while they were off listening to Jimmy Buffett and drinking beer on their boats in between fucking one another's wives? Yes. Is willingly subjecting a generation to find a means of preoccupation to pursue your own interests considered "losing"? Your call.

Video games postponed me getting my associates and transferring to university until 25

We lost 99.99% of the human race to agriculture, maladapted by domestication.
This is the end of the long extinction, at least for the doomed subspecies homo sapiens exsapiens.

That just such bullshit you become addicted there is no in between

The kids are in the basement playing vidya on the TV.
The parents are in the living room watching boring shows on the TV.
Both are addicted to the boob-tube.

>t. A cock addict

No.

t. me

reality-pilled

>does not teach children anything useful
>wonders why they are lost
>at least I got to take advantage of everything and foot the bills to my children while trying to sell them a house for 5x times the price I bought it for

fuck boomers

Yes.
> have PTSD from PC games
> be mentally always wearing Terminator armor, always scanning for xenoforms
> game world feels more real than real world
> tfw no fusion mortar

>>while posting on the asshole of the internet
well, where else should user be? Facebook? leddit? Fuck, if people have to be online looking at something, it might as well be 9/11, pizza, or ylyl related.

Not really.

It was D&D before video games, comic books before that, reading before that, etc.

Essentially the older generation always assumes the entertainment of the younger generation is making them terrible.

No 8 year old girls allowed here.... Beat it.

Many kiddos have no purpose in life so they waste their time playing video games to numb the boredom. You either grow up or you don't, most people are too weak willed to change their lives or move on from adolescence to adult hood. My wife was a huge world of warcraft addict, played for hours but once we had our first born she barely plays because shes so busy. Now she doesnt play it at all.

This place has a ton of lib posts. The only thing different from any other site is porn and race-baiting.

yes and we'll lose every generation after this to even more degenerate inventions as well.

To the video game jew....indeed.
So many fell for the allure of mindless entertainment.
I watched friends and siblings lose their youth playing video games.

Reading, DnD and all the other things you mentioned require an active imagination and engagement, wheras video games are just huge amounts of stimuli that fry a child's brain

steam says i play around 60-80 hours every two weeks and i also play a lot of basketball and golf. i also have been playing jazz for over ten years now. i'm going to play EDF5 now. why aren't you playing EDF5, Jow Forums? it's the most redpilled game and series

You did fine. You found the only free source of information online. All those hours of looking for every piece of loot in morrowind dungeons has made you a great spelunker of the internet.

Look on the bright side. This generation didn't see a huge world war, they managed to weed out enough males by distracting them with vidya.

What instrument

Time will tell, the internet can be used as a tool for good, but I think this coming generations biggest issue is not being raised to work for anything and fall trap to the instant gratification video games and the internet give you. Victor Hugo said, adversity creates men, prosperity creates monsters.

No. This generation lost us.

>playing jazz
Playing nigger music is a bigger waste of time than vidya.

I fucking hate both Internet and Video Games, but I do both because the alternatives seem even worse.

I'm so happy I got to read that greentext
Was there ever any follow up from the user?

No, we lost an entire generation to THE PHONE.
Vidya has been around since the 80s. It's harmless.
THE PHONE is on you 24/7. It's your phone, text messager, email, calculator, camera, link to social media, etc.

I wouldn't say vidya is harmless, but back in the 80's and 90's it was more of a niche thing and the games weren't nearly as time consuming or immersive.

Alternatives being?

>time consuming or immersive.
Bro, games nowadays are fucking shit.
Garbage like Call of Duty blah blah is forgotten in a few months, but NES Classics and SNES classics fly off the shelves because the games were better.
Only a complete zoomer faggot would take Red Dead Redemption 2 (a fucking walking simulator) over Super Mario World.

I agree they're shit, but games have ensnared far more people these days for more time in the day than ever before.

>but games have ensnared far more people these days for more time in the day than ever before
No doubt.
I don't know why tho.
I tried playing Witcher 3 and got bored out of my mind. You literally ride a horse for 40 minutes, then watch a 30 minute cutscene.

Get good scrub. You're one lapse of attention away from being horribly gibbed.

>get gibbed slowly

lol no, we lost them to social media and anyone who disagrees is blind

>Did we lose an entire generation to internet and video games?

video games didn't infiltrate our government, media, educational system, and municipal water supplies.

>we lost them to social media
This.
But it was a perfect fusion of the iPhone and social media.
If there was no iPhone, it wouldn't have been as bad.

Facebook was created as a massive data collection alternative to myspace, once (((They))) noticed how popular myspace was.

The manipulation is subtle on social media platforms, close to subliminal, in fact.

Witcher 3 is very boring, it's like a shitty movie with even shittier gameplay.

But what if it was one of the distractions that allowed it to happen.

i'll agree with that, user. always had a weird feeling about iphones considering they kind of took over the masses

all the data collected is/will be used for programming AI

But that's how most popular games are and it's amazing to me that people worship and defend them.
And even worse, they WATCH other people play them. My fucking God, I don't belong in this world anymore.

source?

There's your source.

No, but we lost all previous generations to parents.

>all the data collected is/will be used for programming AIs

fixed that for ya.

Oh yes, TV generation is gone for good. TV generation was so self aware and conscious that its harldy that we will come to that level of transparency and free speech ever again.
