You made the evil companies powerful enough. But you ended up whole powerless.

I stopped playing games since i was 20 cause it sucks. There is a lot to learn. Read books instead.

We gotta stick together and wise up and then rise up if we have to.
>>
>>520178862
We dont actually buy games
We either play pirated games or free chinese gacha RPGs
>>
>>520178862
I can't for the life of me find a video game that I actually enjoy. At best I will binge a game for like 3 days and then I won't want to play it any more for years until I become depressed and try it again. Then the cycle repeats.
>>
>>520179036
you still have to buy expensive hardwares and keep them upgraded.

also while you play game you never raise your level of consciousness. it's an opium.

No thanks, there's nothing more evil than the jewish publishers that only publish lies while brainwashing everyone into believing reading their slop will make them smart. There's nothing smart about reading drivel from a kike publishing house that exist only to brainwash goyim.

I play video games and read books.
>>
>>520178862
i use the same hardware for video games as i do for writing this message. Books are obsolete and contain far too much information. You have to filter all that information for what truly matters if you want to have a life beside staring at a piece of all day every day and intellectually masturbating the remainder of your time on earth. i play starblast io sometimes because it's fun.

>Books are obsolete and contain far too much information
American education at its peak. Let me help you, though: if the slop to value ratio is too high among the books you encounter, it’s your sign to limit yourself to only those published before 1900.
>>
>>520178862
Gaming hasn't been good for a long time.
Your best move, if you are programmers and like gaming, and you are /ourguys/, is to build your life offline, get a bunch of friends together and build your own multiplayer game that can be played in-house LAN style. Not some isolating single player shit. Some shit that encourages gaming clans to form like shit was in the early 2000s. Those gaming clans were important. Discord, bad games, and random matchmaking killed clan gaming which was mostly on TS/Vent, multiplayer games, and based on shitty amateur website clan forums

Seriously bros, make real friends. Don't get isolated.
>>
>>520182608
jokes on you i'm on a vpn and live in germany. reading books before 1900 is fair enough and all but the same problem persists. most people in their lifetimes won't read more than about 100 books at most. And the people who read a lot tend to be women reading fantasy novels. Real niggers use books as a broad repository of knowledge rather than reading some random gay book by leibnitz front to back to feel superior.

playing on TTT servers was fun and i would get a clan feeling. but there were only a few handful of people who actively played and it was basically dead last time i checked, replaced by the discord tranny game modes instead.

Don't play games, right? And how many hours do you spend on pol? Considering you've created a thread, I'm pretty sure a lot. I'm sorry to tell you but there are only retards here and I don't know what's worse: thousands hours of a gay indie game like terraria or stardew valley or thousands of hours here. Choose your poison.
>>
>>520183689
Its all trash, its all meant to isolate you now.

Gaming in the 2000s wasn't like that.
The games weren't political statements. There was no activism in them.
Multiplayer clan gaming and competitive amateur leagues were all socially healthy, and the fucking weirdos and freaks weren't on a cultural rampage back then.
Its not an exaggeration that faggots ruined gaming.

I'm already isolated because I'm neither a christcuck or a libcuck.

So video games it is

I did not buy games. Therefore i did not contribute to the problem.

He's right. Everybody feels it. Those with souls. The Holy Spirit is telling us to get off the demonic internet and stop feeding our soul energy to demonic AI and video games.
The internet has never been more fake and gay than it is right now. The backlash and great disconnect (2.0 - first was from cable TV) is now.

some video games improve memory, focus, and reaction times. It's all about managing your dopamine, a lot of modern games exploit your dopamine with cheap reward systems such as gambling, lazy linear level designs, flashy graphics, hud elements that dumb down gameplay, etc..

Its big greedy corporations that fucked it. When jews found out how much money could be made they crushed the small time devs and created massive studios which all toe the woke line and only care about profit.

80% of all games worth playing can be run at 60fps on some Thinkpad or Latitude you steal from an office dumpster. Games like Civilization 4 and Planescape are definitely going to expand your mind more than the average novel

>stop playing video games, it ruins your life.

I have a successful career, I've been to university, I regularly read /lit/erature, go to the gym, I have my own garden with vegetables, I cook all my meals, I'm a single dad with two sons, and I still have 15-20 hours a week to put into video games, watch animu, etc.

Yes. May I recommend a book. It's called "Fatal embrace" and is written by a jew, who argues, that his fellow jews just might be overplaying their hand a bit and might just tone it down maybe to prevent them from being kicked out for 110th time?
>>
>>520192245
People like you are the exception to the rule in my experience. Most gamers I've known don't even try in life, neglect all their responsibilities and their health, and pretty much just spend the vast majority of their life glued to video games.
>>
>>520178862
ok i'll try
i dont think books are much better for you tho bro
>>
>>520192635
My father was a hardcore gamer too (won local tournaments in the 90s) but he was an outdoorsy kind of guy so he'd let me play all the games I want growing up under the condition that I spend at least half of my free time outdoors or doing something productive, so it just ended up being half of my week was video game days and the other half was going out and doing things.

That kind of mentality stuck with me growing up that I can play all the video games I want if I take care of my responsibilities first, but adding on more responsibilities is a good thing.

the only game that i play and enjoy that could use better proccesor is stalker2
and i just used a 2kb mod that fixed fps issues

there is more pre 2020 games in existence that you have time to play in your live
and they all run on 300$ pc (still can play any non aaa multiplayer game)

They are both good depending on the book/game.
