Are video games the ultimate counterpart to lifting?
>you can have fun, but as opposed to drugs, alcohol and other shit it doesn't fuck with your body
>you can survive rest days and have fun while at it
>it doesn't alter your body chemistry at all only some shit in the brain but who cares
These 2 hobbies are literally made for each other. Lifting gets rid of the side effects of gaming like fat/declined health etc and gaming helps to have something other to fill the void except lifting and be mentally active and not become a dumb caveman. It's perfect. Literally 2 sides of the same coin.

I’m hoping classic will fix my coke addiction
You're missing the fact that it's a massive timesink and you'll probably spend 5 hiurs straight gaming. I understand it's a hobby but honestly who's a moderate gamer lol
>spend 1 hour a week actually playing videogames
>spend 5 hours a day shitposting on /v/
what the fuck is wrong with me lads
This is me but I stopped playing games after the ps2 generation
You'll be missing out on social gains.
>partying stagnating gains virgin vs pure 'no drugs, no alcohol, no trash food' vidya chad
You know, you don't necessarily have to party or do drugs for social gains, right?
>>it doesn't alter your body chemistry at all only some shit in the brain but who cares
read books instead for brain gains
No you'll just do coke to raid.
Tell me more about chess club user.
While you might not spend 5 hours straight drinking, your body will spend at least 12 hours straight processing that shit, inhibiting your ability to lift, study, etc. Videogames aren't as much of a time sink as they appear to be in the grand scheme of things.
Drink water, fatty.

loooooooool look at this gamebrain trying to defend his addiction
you should go on noconsole OP
Lol big agree. Imagine investing time "accomplishing" shit on a screen. Can't even say it's just for fun considering how many hours people end up spending gaming
>gaming
>being mentally active
jesus

this desu but unironically. gotta stop the self destructing gay disco before it's too late. wouldn't want to leave my wife's daughter to be raised in a single parent household
Based and true. Playing some vidya with my friends for a couple hours feels so much better when I just came home from a workout and took a shower. I used to binge nonstop and I'd feel really shit about myself, but balancing it out with a good diet and exercise makes the act of playing the game more enjoyable and gets rid of that feeling of guilt that follows after.
Everything in moderation though. Playing games every single day is still kind of retarded.
>honestly who's a moderate gamer lol
Most people? The whole "lol game for 6 hours bro!!!" thing dies after college for like 90% of people unless they're legit NEETs. You simply don't have the time to play games that much anymore.
Or you could do something productive. Video games are for children and adults who don't know what to do with their time.
off the cuff yet polished
gaming, especially in 2019, is a more multiplayer focused experience that is made substantially better by playing with friends. This is why the average Jow Forumsizen can not properly enjoy gaming.

Give it a few years lmfao, dopamine will get burnt out from the constant stress/reward mechanics and your dick will stop working.
Thor Bjornsson regularly plays video games. I think that backs up this post quite well
Yeah sitting like a manchild staring at a screen for hours is totally based and healthy!
no, programming is. it actually forces you to think especially if you create medium-large sized systems where code readability and non-retard logic is a must
Want to smell my dick?
>only some shit in the brain but who cares
Yeah who even needs dopamine receptors anyways am i right?
porn has fucked me up more than video games ever would.
Video games gets rid of other degeneracies and lifting gets rid of the lack of physical activity and testosterone development.
>not doing active rest ie. low intensity cardio during rest days
never going to make it
Where my osrs boys at?
Quit that shit, man. It's an extreme waste of time and most importantly runescape is not ever even fun. It's just addicting.
>alone in your room with some game designed by a Jew in order to make you idle
>fun
lol
Yes, wish I was into lifting a child and could maximise on those teen vidya binge years.
Sadly I've experienced adventure and real fear now so find very little enjoyment in videogames.
Reading harry potter doesnt make you smart, fag
>code at work
>play vidya at home
>lol why dont you use your brai for once
Go get a real job, cashier cuck
I used to play a lot of vidya but since going /out/ more and actually experiencing the intangible beauty of the natural world and feeling the primative humbling experience of surviving on my own terms, videogames just numb my brain and make me wish I was outside experiencing life. Vidya is onions jew shit and I challenge you to actually go experience the thrill of existence.
Yes, as long as it's a game with transferable skills. Even Mr clean-yo-room says vidia is good, and in some ways more real than for example working at McDonald's

Um...most normal people?
This is the same logic I see here that says if you're not a pro-NoFap weirdo you must be a degenerate fuck who faps to amputee midget tranny scat porn 8 times a day. No in between.
>gotta reset your brain, bro
Still playing MMORPGs, are we?
Right? If you're into a game you're talking about 3-8 hours+ minimum. Major time waste
Me. I play maybe 2 hours a day. Job + uni+ gym+judo keeps me busy.
Gaming is for faggots without real hobbies
