Did we lose an entire generation to internet and video games?
Jonathan Bell
Isaiah Cooper
No, there is nothing wrong with it as long as people have balance.
Elijah Foster
shut up you dumb boomer. still better than fighting brown chinks in some jungle
Easton Diaz
It wouldn't be that bad if our media wasn't ran by degenerate far left faggots
Robert Brown
It must suck to know that two plumbers made of computer data did a better job at parenting than you did.
Landon Russell
Reality sucks hairy balls, so yes.
Adam Sanders
this
Aiden Smith
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.
Michael Wilson
>he said he turned out fine
>while posting on the asshole of the internet
Jack Sanchez
i said fine, not exceptional
i made my own mistakes
Dominic Martinez
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.
Levi Price
I want to open mouth kiss the older boy so bad. So bad.
Frenched in the bathtub, nude.
Bentley Powell
yeah video games are the problem
Jack Sanchez
>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.
Michael Bell
Video games postponed me getting my associates and transferring to university until 25
Jacob Perez
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.
Nathan Roberts
That just such bullshit you become addicted there is no in between
Levi Hughes
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.
Christopher Myers
>t. A cock addict
Samuel Murphy
No.
t. me
Christopher Myers
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
Noah Mitchell
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
Aiden Reed
>>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.
Zachary Collins
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.
Sebastian Ortiz
No 8 year old girls allowed here.... Beat it.
Jayden Sanchez
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.
Ethan Foster
This place has a ton of lib posts. The only thing different from any other site is porn and race-baiting.
Sebastian Clark
yes and we'll lose every generation after this to even more degenerate inventions as well.
Evan Reyes
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.
Jordan Phillips
test
Owen Martinez
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
David Sanchez

Jeremiah Jenkins
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
Hunter Anderson
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.
Noah Gomez
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.
Anthony Ward
What instrument
Brandon Mitchell
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.
Jordan Ross
No. This generation lost us.
Oliver King
>playing jazz
Playing nigger music is a bigger waste of time than vidya.
Bentley Hall
I fucking hate both Internet and Video Games, but I do both because the alternatives seem even worse.
Charles Ramirez
I'm so happy I got to read that greentext
Was there ever any follow up from the user?
Xavier Carter
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.
Ethan Hill
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.
Jackson Perez
Alternatives being?
Logan Nelson
>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.
Henry Brooks
I agree they're shit, but games have ensnared far more people these days for more time in the day than ever before.
Asher Edwards
>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.
Oliver Stewart
Get good scrub. You're one lapse of attention away from being horribly gibbed.
>get gibbed slowly
Michael Wood
lol no, we lost them to social media and anyone who disagrees is blind
Jack Taylor
>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.
James King
>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.
Henry Parker
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.
Aaron Gray
Witcher 3 is very boring, it's like a shitty movie with even shittier gameplay.
Landon Baker
But what if it was one of the distractions that allowed it to happen.
Liam Cruz
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
Owen Brooks
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.
Charles Allen
source?
Michael Green
There's your source.
Matthew Young
No, but we lost all previous generations to parents.
Benjamin Allen
>all the data collected is/will be used for programming AIs
fixed that for ya.
Brayden Gray
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.
