>meet my cousin at a Christmas party>Ask him what vidya he's been playing>"Oh I don't play games anymore, I uninstalled Steam.">"Why?">"I just don't like videogames anymore. I outgrew them."That made me kinda sad.
>>729341226
>>729341226Why, because your cousin is retarded and it might run in the family?
>>729341226don't worry, he will crawl back when 30s hits
>>729341806kek, this
my honest opinion is that you should maintain constant contact with him as I have a feeling he's entering the suicide phase of his life
>>729342062my opinion is you should encourage him to do a flip when he does it
>>729341226no one just uninstalls Steam. even if he quit playing games, you're not just going to uninstall it
>>729341226hes lying. you cant "outgrow video games" if you liked them, you liked them. its just insecure retards lying to themselves so they can accommodate their "mature life" (societal values or acting normie to fit in) and he probably thinks hes more mature than you for not playing them no more and looks down on you so he can feel better about himself.
>>729342062Maybe. I did notice he seems pretty unhappy/worried despite smiling literally all the time
>>729341226>"I just don't like videogames anymore. I outgrew them."I said this in my most schizo time of my life where I was attempting to make IEDs
>>729341226wghat does he do in his free time
>>729342326I... don't actually know.
>>729342326Nothing, he probably just tags along with his girlfriend.

>>729342326doomscroll tiktok or youtube for 3 hours at a time
>>729341226Is “outgrew” a sneak insult? Like he was trying to say you haven’t grown up. I’ve seen people say they outgrow their friends.
>>729341226I envy him. My life would be a million times better if I stuck to never playing games again in the time period between 2013-2015
>>729342326Hang out with friendsHave sex Workout Play sportsLiterally anything is better than videogames
>>729343395Yes, the same retarded boomer take as always. These retards will call you childish and immature for spending Friday night playing videogames at home, and then lose 3000 dollars gambling at a slot machine while buying shitty highly overpriced drinks.
>>729343619Sex is way worse than video games. It lasts 10 minutes on a good day and is tiring. Also you can end up with a kid randomly even if you use protection.Video games last as long as you want, let you do things you could never do irl, and winning/figuring things out feels better and lasts longer than an orgasm
>>729341226Videogames are kind of boring as fuck and most modern releases are a direct insult of the consumer's intelligence and sensibilities. I won't be interested in gaming for 90% of the year, and the remaining 10% of it I'll be binging the fuck out of 1 game that appeals to me.
>>729342181I’m almost 40, been playing them all my life. It was my main hobby as a kid, but as an adult my interest in it comes and goes. I’ve never ditched them entirely but I’ve often gone a year or more without playing anything. Even now, it’s something I only do for an hour or so at the end of a day if I have time after family shit and more productive hobbies.
>>729344507I took a long hiatus from them this year and only resumed them Q4.
>>729344507yeah, i guess thats normal when you are fucking boomer. even i as a 23 year old dont feel the joy i did when i played them as a kid and i imagine it only gets worse, still though, thats not the same thing as OPs faggot cousin
>>729341226What games did he play? Was it AAA? Was it Indie? Did he play mostly multiplayer game?
