it’s literally me
unironically turned 37 2 months ago, what games do I play
I'm 38. Millennials are the last "gamer" generation. Zoomers just don't care and didn't grew up with all the amazing games and peak western entertainment like we did.
>>740443651uh no? 90% of the gamers are black girls anon, science confirmed it
>>740443973I feel bad that you still think like a child, but in some sense, am glad stupid people like you can exist and be so unaware of pressures to he otherwise
I do think this "hardcore gamer" thing began and will die with millennials and some gen x. Kids just see it as retarded and would rather spend their time playing basketball or whatever, and boomers and up are the same way. The reason is because hardcore gaming escapism is only necessary to millennials and gen x due to their horrendous parents. Parents these days take kids to sports practice and never hit them and even don't raise their voices at them half the time. There's nothing to escape from and no fights to hide using your noise cancelation headphones in your room. Society is healing. Too bad about the jews sucking us dry financially.
>>740444112ESL mad for God only knows what reason
>>740443651That's awful!We should have more wrinkly hags and mystery meat mutts in charge of gaming!
>>740444327>I do think this "hardcore gamer" thing began and will die with millennials and some gen x. Kids just see it as retardedThat's because it is. I'm glad that's dying out.
>>740444327>I do think this "hardcore gamer" thing began and will die with millennials and some gen xIt won't go away, you misunderstand how the hardcore gamer came to be in the first place.
>>740443651FunnyConsidering the average 37 year old white man is a 0 testosterone, nu-male, clinically infertile, apartment dwelling, reddit atheist millennial terminally online who wore the mask for 2 years and got vaxxed
>>740443792final fantasy tacticsxcom 2Jedi power battles
>a new study saysDon't tell me you believe this shit now even other time its a Jewish ploy...you see how hypocritical this don't you?
So that means the average virgin is 37 too
>>740443651so that explains why Debra Wilson is everywhere shes got Snow fever
>>740443651>>740443792>>740443973Why didn't you guys marry or have children? why did you fail so hard? explain so we don't end like you
>>740443651I thought the average gamer was a 40 year old female? What happened to that? All those studies that said there are more or as many female gamers now?
>>740443973>Western Dead world
>>740444327>Kids just see it as retarded and would rather spend their time playing basketball or whatever, and boomers and up are the same way.No, they'd rather stream some millennial playing the game on twitch or watch react clips of it on tiktok.
>"""study finds""" riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
>>740448595I'm not those guys but I have 4 children and I hate them all expecially my wife the 5th child
>>740443651>mfw that’s me too
>>740448595>so we don't end like youThat's the neat part. You will! The game is changing and you are surplus to requirement.
>>740448746Wow you allowed some slut to cuck you 4 timesGod damn, do you carry her purse everywhere too?
>>740448595In a nutshell? Be what women want. >But I'd prefer-Then die alone.
>>740448595Socio-political conditions you have little control overWomen prefer to "settle down" with "safe" men at milestones like 30, 35, 40 as there is no financial or social requirement to couple up before geriatric pregnancy, even if there are tax benefits
>43>White>Most of my games are 10-15 Years Old +
Dad gamers rise up!Nothing like taking a few minutes for gaming after I feed my kids, do the laundry and rub my wifes feet as she drinks a bottle of Chardonnay
>>740443651Same. The last three games I played were: Mina the HollowerMewgenicsPoke All Toads
>>740444327>Millennial: oh, wow, a new game! Can't wait to try it out!>Zoomer: oh, wow, a new game! Can't wait to see my favourite twitch streamer play it!
>>740448595>Why didn't you guys marry or have children?Who knows? It's not like I actively avoided women. It just happened. >why did you fail so hard?I don't think I've failed. I have a job, a place to live, no debt, a few hobbies and exercise regularly.
>>740448595Too smart and too prone to masturbation for hormones to mind control me into crippling life decisions.
>>740443973according to.. what. a survey?
>>740446802The average right-winger is a pedophile
>>740443973Zoom zooms and alpha will only ever know dogshit slop, so naturally they won't be interested in it. The western gaming industry cucked itself into a grave.
>>740444053The source of this man's statistic is the nail salon between the Popeyes and the car wash
>>740448595approaching 30, i have so much fun being alone its actually so addicting when theres no nagging bitch on ur side
>>740450262So youre saying there is 2.8 billion people who are all pedos?
Any other 30+ not impressed with the arc of video games beyond politics/aesthetic? I get exhausted thinking of GTA VI or whatever indieshit marketed on here. FFVII remakes look weird. I go back and try GTAIV and I'm not impressed. I feel this "industry" should've went bust around the 3ds release. Everything cool we could've got potentially is squandered. We could have hipster farm equivalent of dreamcast homebrews but we don't. Even retro games being on some internet platform like GOG/steam doesn't sit right with me.
>>740443651im in the gamer retirement home (arpg's)currently playing poe2
>>740443651The "modern audience" are aging millennials. California wonders why they aren't attracting young people with their over the shoulder walking simulators with Joss Whedon marvel quips and Frank cubes
>>740443651Its over.
>>740450758I felt that and turned that feeling into fuel for my creative projects. I've already accepted that there'll never be games like Shadow Hearts, Koudelka or Drakengards again, so I've decided to study so I can write scripts like those that captivated me in the past. It's a long journey, but a very fun one so far. Ironically enough, I haven't played video games in two years now since I had decided to learn how to write them.
>>740450890looks like moonmoon
>>740450262Damn, didn't know right wingers were so based.
>>740443651>people who were kids and teens when games were unapologetically made for guys are the typical customer>left wing cabal that doesn't believe that anything should be made for men uses unironic corporatism to hijack the industry (anyone who believes that the left applies their own standards to themselves has never actually thought about it)>begins installing Karens, unironic faggots, spineless simps, and clueless "businessmen" into leadership>games that don't play by their rules suffer from decreased visibility and constant harassment from corporate America while games that belong to the machine get forced to the front>instead of the new generation just eating shit like the last generation ate steak like the cabal expected, they're just less enthusiastic about the whole thing and aren't really committed customersThe story of modern western entertainment.
>>740451369>>instead of the new generation just eating shit like the last generation ate steak like the cabal expected, they're just less enthusiastic about the whole thing and aren't really committed customers>The story of modern western entertainment.This applies to pretty much everything in the west
>>740448595I just didn't want to settle down, I still feel like a teenager at 35. I might have kids at 45 though.
>>740443973To be fair, I probably wouldn't have been a "gamer" if I hadn't gone through NES -> Genesis -> N64/PS1 -> Dreamcast -> Wii -> Wii U. The fun for me was both seeing and feeling the progress in the industry rather than seeing. Games weren't movies they were a way to experience tangible technological progression and risk.Things are just stagnant and boring now and I've said before that I probably would have essentially quit in gen 6 if the Revolution/Wii didn't exist and all we had were the PS3, Xbox 360 and a "GameCube 2". I'd probably play whatever my friends had at the dorms, but wouldn't feel moved to buy any of them (which is exactly what happened with the PS3 and 360 for me). Fast forward to now where we have the Switch 2 and whatever Sony and Xbox are planning on doing (which will also be the same things as last time but better graphics) and I've already essentially checked out. I only hung during the Switch/PS5/Xbox Series generation because I hoped Nintendo would eventually do something interesting that effected how games felt to play again with the following gen. They didn't, so I'm basically out and just browse around here. I legitimately have more fun with AI advancements, implementations (physical AI being the next one after we're all used to agents) and following that then I do with games.
>>74044365134 year old hereI tell ya what, /v/ros, there ain't enough time in life to play vidya, that's for damn sureI could easily see myself putting in 10k hours into Path Of Exile, another 10k hours into Dota 2, and another 10k hours into an MMO like FFXIV or Monsters & Memories or Pantheon or something, and a few thousand more hours into any combination of Souls games. That's really the only reason I haven't played Path Of Exile yet, is because I know it's a 10/10 game and I could easily put thousands of hours into it
>>740451127I don't know how to describe it myself but yeah. I feel very disappointed around 8th gen. We had some gems that looked really impressive but the philosophy around video games is not the same. Everything feels slightly inferior to past games, like actually missing components. Why do I care for a new jrpg when they were already perfected decades ago. Why should I bother with hack n slash when you had DMC1 or metal gear rising. I am offended when I think about resident evil CV remake, like I already played a game that was visually the same in RE7 with a new campaign I've never played before and I never touched the original RE CV. Video games already had their time and like books hit a peak and died. It's too much work to dig through the post 2007 or so shit to find something tangible.
>>740451914Be the change you want to see, bro. If games now suck, make the ones you'd like to play.>but it's hardYes, so what?
>>740450262If we use the current definition of pedophile, which is being attracted to 17 yo anime girls, then yes.
>>740449185What games?
>>740452195That's not the definition of pedophile, never was. It's a technical term, not a make-believe vague vibe word
>>740443651Hey that's me. Except I'm not an Amerimutt.
>>740452518I know you fucking retard, that's how most faggots use it
>>740448595>explain so we don't end like youYou guys are so much more fucked than us. At least I own my house.
>>740450838BasedARPGs are the bestI don't think I could ever get sick of them
>>740443651>37I'm kinda surprised by that. Not that 37 year olds play games, but that 37 is the average. I would have expected younger. I turned 30 yesterday and I would expect the average to be somewhere between 22 and 25; the no lifes.
>>740444327>Parents these days take kids to sports practice and never hit them and even don't raise their voices at them half the time. There's nothing to escape from and no fights to hide using your noise cancelation headphones in your room. Society is healing. Too bad about the jews sucking us dry financially.This never happened.
>>740449185>stopped playing new games in 2016Can't say I blame you
>>740443651damn, the industry should make games for them
>>740452195Pedophilia is a disorder, a defect, and it means the attraction to prepubescent children, so ages 0-10. It most commonly occurs in bisexual men. About 90% of the pedophiles are LGBTQ+, with bisexuals composing about ~80% of all pedophiles (back when those statistics were being tracked, which they no longer are due to political censorship). The most common victim of pedophiles are boys under the age of 11.Some argue that pedophilia and hebephilia are similar enough to lump them together under one umbrella, which makes sense both practically and biologically. Attraction to kids that haven't reached sexual maturity is a disorder. About 98% of females reach full sexual maturity by age 14 and a half. So pedo-hebephilia in practice means attraction to 0-14 year olds.Male heterosexuality is attraction towards fertile sexually developed females, which in humans happens by age 15. Most countries on the planet reflect this in their laws. There are few exceptions that artificially set the limit at 18, and even in the USA it's just a couple of states, with 16 being the dominant default.During the past 200 000 years of history for 99.99% of the time the average age of a mother when giving first birth was between 14 and 16.Calling age of 17 a pedo range is false technically, biologically, historically. It's based on nothing but seethe, and it aims to demonize heterosexuality.
>>740452608How many people have you met that use it like that? I've met 0. Online twitter bots pushing a false top-down narrative do not count.
>>740448595The economy is fucked so children are for rich people.
can you faggots shut up about pedo shit? what the fuck if wrong with you?
>>740454556What pedo shit? Be precise.
>>740448595You answered your own questionNo sane human being would subject their kids to the future that's coming
>>740455960>not producing more golems = goodCool it with your antisemitism
>>740443651So that's why gaming is so cucked
>>740443651Why am i not suprised? All this time, those faggots were trying to pander to the "modern audience". But the main audience were millennial gamers that grew up with tons of fanservice in vidya, movies and ect. That's what brings in the money.
>>740448595Hyper Individualism was sold to us as a way to break free, but made us miserable in the end. Don't take your relationships for granted, and learn to build on your real life communties
>>740452834Best not to overthink it too much. "Average" could mean a dozen different things in context depending on how the study was conducted, and for all we know it's something like "we surveyed respondants from dadgamersforum dot com and found that 37 years old was the most common".
>>740443651same as it ever was.they dont NEED to sell games to us because they already have the white male gamer market.they TRY and get women, or minorities to get into games, because that's how they grow the already saturated market.it makes sense in a retarded 'me want market grow, but gamer already game, make not gamer game, to make market more' way, like selling cigarettes to non-smokers, or guns to pacifists.we saw it in the past with gun and ball gamers in the early 2000s, and cozy games in the 2010s, but now we're stuck in the era where people who joined the gaming community during one of those previous pushes actually beleive the marketing from the execs
>>740443973That's what happens when games become microtransaction live service slop where people only play that.
>>740449835but none of that is going to benefit a woman, so does it matter?
>>740443651>still makes every game to try to appeal to women and other normgroids
>>740451735>misses the best generation the 6th genThe games were good then.
>>740450262>projection: the post
>>740448595Lots of 30+ anons actually have wives and children but choose to goosepost anyway.
>>740459475Oh, I didn't miss it. I had a GameCube and my cousin had a PS2.
>>740460178I hope you got to experience the best both had to offer.
>>740450262get off 4chan jorobe
>>740443651that's because our mommies and daddies had many kids
>>740460246I believe I did, I just think gen 6 wasn't as great as gen 4 or gen 5. It was good, but I'd be lying to you if I didn't feel like I was getting bored of games about midway or so through gen 6.
There's no way Fortnite and Roblox are filled with people pushing forty. This is some bs story meant for Congress so money laundering devs can keep receiving money to make tranny crap.
>>740448595Before starting a family I need to 100% of all the gamesI own, and I'm about halfway at 42. Gotta finish what you've started first before starting a new thing. Papa raised no quitter.
>>740448595I am married. My wife and I are going to start working on our first kid here soon too. Not all millennials are losers zoomie.
>>740446802Imagine not being atheist. Do you unironically believe magic spells exist?
>>740443651Why don't any companies make games for them then?
>>740461019If you lived through the absolute transformation of the world into the shitheap it is now is less than 20 years and don't believe in magic spells, you're beyond retarded.
>>740461019this site is 18+
>>740443651It is also, literally me. How the fuck did I get so old??
sounds about right. always feels like it's some white guy who's mid career in tech on every game forum.
>>740446802Anyone using the term "nu-male" is in "nu-male" territory themselves. It's chud lingo from a decade ago.

>>740460682Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, the Tony Hawk games, SkyGunner, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Okami, Jak and Daxter series seem like very great standouts. Most are from early gen 6 rho

>>740462014I am a Millenial and have never played any of this crap.They look boring as fuck
>>740443651I am 36 years old, but then again Gaming is so bad, that I am moving into Indies and classical Retro Games with the exception of very few specific remakes and new games.
>>740455960That's just pathetic. Your predecessors struggled a lot more than you would to raise their families. If you literally just make an effort then you will face problems but you will get through life.
>>740443792>Deathsmiles I + II>Espagaluda II>Dodonpachi Resurrection>Mushihimesama>Assault Spy>Senran Kagura series>Xenoblade Chronicles Trilogy + X>Oneechanbara + OriginThese are amazing and worth your time. Trust me on this. >>740448595I can only speak for myself. But in America everything is awful here culturally, despite the wealth being good, the woman here are awful, and they do not wish to settle down, it's not always man's fault for things that happen. Even though I am 36 I am thinking to wait until I am 42 or 45 to begin that process. Right now we are ruled by Boomers, the infrastructure is not good with no Fiber, and the world favors females. So it's not really a good time right now for me to decide to have a kid in this environment. Maybe when things cool down next decade I will.
>>740461829The trick is to make your wife your best friend (and still have good friends too). Then you get the best of both worlds.

>>740450758>>740451127>>740451914I think the problem is the focus used to be on Game Design, Game Mechanics, and just good looking characters, stories etc things being cool or interesting. Nowadays everything is reversed to focus on Graphics, ugly characters, and Game Design and Game Mechanics being last. I do have genuine hope though that AI can be a huge difference with Agentic AI and various other things that can help bridge the gap that Indie Studios and even AA Studios were missing in order to make games without it being a huge big risk of going out of business. We really are missing AA games as a whole, and when people thought about how important everything was in terms of players, not focus groups or trying to make people who would never buy or play games happy. I miss games like RE5, Assassin's Creed 1-3, Uncharted 1-2, I even miss crazy weird games like Lifeline 2, and odd Arcade Titles that tried weird things to see what was possible with Technology and Video Games to create interactive experiences that were not possible before. I miss the 80's/10's(early 2010's) experiences a lot.

https://youtu.be/zAuqTHGYIngLooking at documentaries to understand Video Games of the past, so I can hope we can create better games and new genres for the future of Video Games.
Zoomers just play roblox and minecraft. That's it.
>>740451786I think you should try Xenoblade Chronicles the series. It's very fun and it's very MMO like in some ways. You can even switch your bindings on Switch.
>>740448595What? Are you retarded or something? A family man cant play games?
>>740443651Go ahead, celebrate! the number will keep going up, just like you wished, games will finally be mature!
>>7404437921.Danganronpa I would recommend you do so the whole series is fun do not let the visual novel element fool you, play one class trial and you will be hooked. 2.Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 FES. 3. Fire Emblem Fates(I would recommend Translation mods from Varishangout)
>>740464114Zoomers are lazy because the gaming realm is awful. One series I wish they would try is Kingdom Hearts. Easily one of the best games that is just not long but a good experience.
>>740462014I love those games. Oh God are those the pc gamer equivalent of girls liking pumpkin spice?
>>740443973Zoomers are right: videogames and their culture are trash. Seethe
>>740450758eh kinda. couldn't be less interested in GTA VI and about 99% of other big releases. sometimes there's something that manages to have enough sovl and is well made enough that i enjoy it like bg3 was.the only games i still consistently enjoy are multiplayer pvp stuff where i can dunk on people, but very few seem to be worth the trouble of having to deal with all the cheaters and other shitheads who very consistently only seem to originate from a select few countries but are inescapable
>>740448595Modern western woman are extremely mentally ill. I don't blame any guy for not wanting to be a father if it means having to deal with them your entire life.
>>740450758Not really, I like what I like and I don't really care from which year it is. The "industry" never really interested me, I'm not playing games for the culture or whatever.

37. I don't know why I'm still alive. I don't want to be. I know what's in store for me and I hate everything coming down the pipeline. I hate myself but I know I'll never do anything to change. So I keep burying my head in games while I watch everything around me get worse and hope I die prematurely from a stroke. Hopefully quick and painless.
in their rush to sell live servic they didn't stop to think that they were training kids to dislike variety, and without the variety around to inspire, people lose interest. Fuck em, I got my emulators, indies and AA's.
>>740448595Because I ratfucked my health with a high sugar diet a decade ago. My dick don't work good and my whole body is numb or in pain constantly, and chronic insomnia takes a toll after awhile. T2 + autism = GGI cope alright, got a good routine of distractions and hobbies going. Have a handful people to keep in contact with a few hours a weekThat all being said 99% of you faggots are better off trying>muh feminism>muh economy>muh satanist pedophile government those are real problems, but not legitimate barriers to action in your personal lives. communities and families are important unless you have severe health shit, doable with some effort. most of you CAN work out and do shit and get bitches. even if you wanna be alone gym is amazing for mental health
If you're 26-29 where are you supposed to belong?I keep being told to fuck off from zoomer threads. And I keep being called a zoomer in the 35+ threads.I have over 1500+ games on steam alone and mainly play indie titles because I've already played most of the retro games that interest me.I have never touched Roblox because I am 27, And people would look at me like a predator If I ever did.
>>740469132You're a Zillennial.
>>740448595I imagine millennials will have a higher rate of being married and kids when compared with the following Generations. I'm the ass end of it at 31 but I don't see many people younger than me with partners. My little sister hasn't had a bf since HS years ago, but I almost always had a gf since HS. I fear for the next generation. I feel like my cohort is the last that's gonna get a chance to have kids and I'm only considering it now at 31 because I finally make enough where I feel comfortable and apparently that puts me in the top 10% which is fucking ridiculous. Can't afford shit so people just stay in, internet was also a mistake for normies, at least by the invention of smartphones, now no one can talk to each other and the few that do are having culture wars.You want to not fuck up, find a profession the pays decent in a place that's not expensive. Ie a trade or getting a degree from community colleges if you're less Hands-On or smarter. Don't believe gen X or millennials, office jobs are fine. Don't treat women as adversaries, but don't be afraid to cut off people too consumed by culture/gender War. Spend less than an hour a week jacking it. Get a gym routine because it's good practice to have routines in general. most importantly GROW UP, it's just a women. say hi, fake confidence. Clean up your room, get everything you can control about your life together. Lastly go for women in your ball park. They don't have to be prettier but you almost certainly ain't getting an 8 or higher.PS if you think you're ugly you're probably closer to averageIf you think youre hot youre probably closer to ugly and coping. I assure you this is true.If you have had sex with more than 10 women you can ignore the last couple lines. You probably know how attractive you are. But you need to learn to commit.
>>740444327Im a well adjusted millennial with great parents who played vidya and sports as did my friends, you just came from a dogshit broken home and never tried to overcome it so youre wildly projecting. See a shrink
>>740443973Zoomers and younger dont even like video games as a medium. They like movies; and video games that emulate movies, but thats about it.
>>740460695I was told there are old people servers gated by ID check in Roblox. I think the people on second life are like 50 now so might be too high for the 30s cohort

>>740470606same age as you, sex with ~200 women. No career. Pretty much retiredWhat games do you play, pussy?
>>740460998Not disparaging you but breeding doesn't make you successful nor does money. Only if you personally decide it does. I think the main issue of growing old and not meeting arbitrary milestones has more to do with existential crises, that is to say that it would bother you if an unfilled void existed, which is the default state of life and the universe as far as we can tell. It just helps to not only fill it but also feel the comfort of the masses validating your decision.Having children just to have someone change your diapers when you get old is a whole 'nother can of worms.

>>740472449i turned 36 last month, my life is about what i thought it would be back in 2010 post uni.im poor, working a job i tolerate with the occasional high points, and intermittent dates, but nothing concrete.although, i had assumed my dementia riddled mother would have pased away YEARS ago, instead of sort of locking in at 75% demented, so a year after i moved out post uni, they moved in with me, because 3/4 days they forgot dad was dead, and would sit in bed distraught, but unable to remember why they were sad, and waking up somewhere very different from the family home apparantly just makes her think "oh, this is new, i must have gotten to the hotel real late" and she thinks shes on her gap year or something.so you know, stagnations fine, things can always get worse.
>>740472780I thought "dementia" is boomers attention whoring
>>740472852why would you assume that?
>game developers and executives know this >Makes absolutely sure to never appeal to this demographic at all. Ever.Genius medium. Totally doesn't deserve another crash.
>>740448595Women are whores. Tinder destroyed the act of dating entirely for men and gave women FAR too much power.Average house cost is $250,000
>>740472964because they already have your money.they need infinite growth, which means appealing to a NEW customer base.it makes sense if you're a retard.
>>740472912I never saw any historical accounts of it and it doesn't make any physiological sense
>>740443651>average gamer is slightly older than meWhat, I thought I was a boomer fossil
>>740473015you know you can just not use tinder right? rent in a capital city in india is $120 a month, what does the random factoid about house prices have to do with anything?
>>74047309395% of dating is on apps today you retard.>just rent goy and own nothing. Give 50% of your wages to a Jewish landlord for the next 30+ years
>>740472964Well I think they do. In my mind, millennials are split down the middle of those who mained depression vs. consumerism. The latter is probably responsible to a large degree of the new pokemon games breaking all sales records despite being poorly made, for example
>>740473040How do they "already have our money" when white 30 year old chuds (based) refuse to buy their new games and they flop, fail and studios go bankrupt. Haven't you seen the amount of layoffs in the past few years? From games that are made for a modern audience that doesn't exist and appeals to no one.
>>740473046you never saw any 'historical' accounts of old people being off with the faires with moments of clarity? its a pretty common thing in historic media and ancient stories usually leading to old folk just wandering out into the woods and dying.now how about autism, or ADHD, or brain rot, i've never seen THAT in historical accounts, so clearly its just a zoomer larp, not a condition that developed because of a change in enviromental or social circumstances.
>>740473247enough 30 year old white males are buying games to be the largest portion of the market retard kun.reread my post, the last part especially.

>>740443792get a real fucking hobby, manchild dipshit
>>740448595Misandry was normalized on social media and in entertainment industries, women now think of men as walking wallets during a time where nobody has money because of how fucked the economy is. I barely have enough money to take care of myself, how am I gonna take a woman on dates and feed a kid? Additionally, I was in a relationship once, for 8 years even, I thought I was gonna marry her till she stabbed me in the back. I no longer believe western women are genuinely capable of love the way a man loves a woman. Like, they can superficially grasp the idea of love by drawing what the qualities of it might look like on a hallmark postcard or a movie they watched, but they have no loyalty or care towards men which is a core component of real love, they all see us as like, a series of numbers and statistics. If we do not meet the arbitrary, unexplained statistics, they get bored of us and no longer want to be with us. They don't see us as people. So, I've started to play that game too. If this is how things are, and fighting it got me nowhere, I'm not going to fight it anymore. I'm going to dehumanize them the exact same way I have been dehumanized by them. Besides, this leads to a much more affordable life, I only have to worry about providing for myself now instead of a separate ungrateful person, there's really not any downsides if you've already had sex before and know there's better things in life than it, if I get horny I can just watch porn. If I need a hug I can heat up a weighted blanket and get cuddles that way. I choose what I get to do with my time on any given day, without anyone setting any arbitrary restrictions on it. I am freer than you are.
>>740443651I'm 39, but close enough.
>>740443973I think zoomers just don't really have the money or attention span is what it is. No money because we are in a shit economy with few jobs and shit is too expensive. They lack the attention span to get lost in the good games of the past like we did thanks to TikTok, social media, porn, etc. You are actually kind of right about this. Zoomers and gen alpha will enjoy inferior slop games instead.
>>740473254>now how about autism, or ADHD, or brain rot, i've never seen THAT in historical accounts, so clearly its just a zoomer larp, not a condition that developed because of a change in enviromental or social circumstances.You can always just not use tiktok bro>>740473468fuck off from here if you dont game>>740473490This assessment is true of China and USA more than Europe
>>740448595>explain so we don't end like youI had a chance to marry my highschool sweetheart and live a comfortable life on her family's farm. I gave it up to be a "success" in a company I hate working for. Due to working so much I rarely spent time developing relationships outside of the ones I had in highschool. So when it came time to look for a woman to settle down with most had kids or were fucking nuts. Now I travel for work and make good money, but I am incredibly lonely and bitter. Every year I travel to Hong Kong to fuck a couple hookers and let loose. Then its back to the wagie cage. Money isn't everything, and true happiness comes from having people that love you unconditionally.
>>740443651So much for "majority female".

Why is everyone here so damn old?
>>740443973We got to see the best parts unfold, and when it seemed like it would just keep getting better, they pulled the rug and turned video games into glorified casinos.At least young people don't know any better, which is something I envy, and I envy those who will enjoy the many years after the industry collapses even more.
>>740474826I assume a lot of people like me started coming here in the mid-00's and haven't found many places better
>>740474826How are so many young people finding this place?
>>740448595I'm ugly and poor and I have bad social skills
>>740474826If people were using the internet before you were born, they're still going to using it after.
>>740474780ass
>>740443651Hell yeah
>>740473247Because white men, I.E Millennial manchildren are the largest demographic of consumers on the planet. They will buy games without even paying too much attention to this DEI, woke game, esg score bullshit, because they are that mindbroken of consumerist cattle.And yet they will always, ALWAYS, deflect any and all blame and criticism towards them, too Zoomers.Hence why you see the infinite Zoomer hate threads on this board 24/7. I'm 27, Not really a Millennial, but I have already amassed over 1500+ games on steam alone, not including the games I have on Gog and my Switch. Thankfully, most of those games are Indies, but most normalcattle do the exact same thing, but for normal AAA console releases.remember, if there is something going on that you don't like or understand, its probably a zoomers fault. Is honestly the mentality I get from most people older than me now. It even bleeds over to the workplace, Younger people are getting discriminated against in a way I have just never seen before now. This is especially true in some fields like Tech and engineering.
>>740474826In about 50 years it's going to be a perfect spread based on life expectancy of 8 to 100 year olds.

>>740474780I know, jesus fuck.Why are there so many of these people on this website now? This place used to be the refuge against that sort of mentality.
>>740448746Why do you this to yourself and your kids? Have you not watched Idiocracy? It's getting so bad at this rate that I honestly suggest to younger guys than me, not to pursue women at all because of people like you.
>>740443651But I thought the thought the number of women gamers had evened out now. It's supposed to be half and half was that a lie
>>740476353>Why are there so many of these people on this website now?Part of it is just more and more normalfags finding out about 4chan through the heckin' epic 4chan screencaps they see on Xitter.The other part is all the phoneposters and third worlders that have access to the internet now.Hell I barely even see anyone shitting on 3DPD now.

>>740463175Our predecessors didn't face shit, the only difference for them was their monkey instincts weren't as dulled so they were more than happy to do moronic violent things to the people that wronged them even if it cost them their lives. Which is at least more than I can say for the useless faggots of the modern age.
>>740476754Man, things really are grim. Global 4chan mobile app ban when? The normal mobile browser version of this website is so terrible to use hopefully it would discourage all normalfaggots to leave again.
>>740443651You're telling me the predominantly white male hobby contains mostly white males?!
>>740476859Yeah, I've tried 4chan on a mobile browser before and it was fucking miserable. It makes me shutter to think that there are actually people who browse and post like that every single day.
>>740473553>shit economy with few jobsB-B-But unemployment is at a record low!
>>740444327If you think that modern parents are any better or worse than the ones Gen X and M had then your delusional, the chain of bad parenting will take the better part of a century to break and if you want proof then you can just ask anyone working in education currently.As for escapism, your half correct in that most Zoomers and younger don't look at vidya as favorably as Gen X or M but don't get it wrong, there is still PLENTY of escapism taking place, it's just concentrated in "short form" content (Tiktok, YT shorts, Twitch clips, etc), fantastical social thinking (as in, they look at anyone rich and think "That's so me!/Going to be me!"), and gambling, lots and lots of gambling.
>>740473490
>>740450758no, there are 3-4 good game releases every year and if youre bored with that theres always multiplayer pvp stuff
>>740444327There's so much projecting in this post, you should ask readers 18 dollars a ticket to read it.Anyway, that aside, 37 year old white gamer here:>grew up with megadrive>every 4 years a giant leap in visuals and game design>got almost bored? Heh! Here's a huge upgradeThis is why most jaded and old gamers end up on pc. They need a jump, high fps, high resolution, to recapture those jumps which we link with fun. It doesnt fucking work tho.My kid will grow up with a switch 2 and there's not much to want up from there, in my eyes. The only real jump we will see is slop.So big chance he will play some bing bing wahoo growing up, play some multiplayer slop with friends and move on. Game collections will really become the "LP collection" nobody fucking wants(I know, its picking up again)
>>740448595>Women learned to hate men>Men and Women were infantalized for far longer than any other generational cohort>Economy is circling the drain for anyone but the top 10%>Communities are being fractured by extreme levels of outside influence (think mass immigration, socal life being controlled by the internet, death of religious social structure, death of the family unit, etc)>Unchecked law breaking in most of the western worldCan you control for any of the following? No? Then your probably not better off than any of the "uncs" your talking about. You seem to confuse a lot of the problems that the older generations are facing with anything that they did wrong on their own, in reality its a mixture of both and it's kind of hard to blame it on personal failure when it's so systematic that most of the population is suffering from it, especially since most of these problems stem from things that they were too young to understand or simply couldn't control.You don't blame a dog for barking, you don't blame a cat for scratching, so why are we blaming man for failing?

>>740476669It's not. Millennials should have had children by now and zoomers should have 2 or 3 toddlers.White and asian people are the biggest consumers and they are finding it the hardest way
Umm but I thought women made up over half of gamers? We not counting Candy Crush anymore?
>>740478497I know but it's SO stupid. I swear by 2012 we entered this demonic dimension where every western product is extremely hostile towards you for no reason at all. You must be punished for...buying their products? You must be punished...for liking x character? Come on, no shit even normies are choosing asian products now.Even my fucking mother was watching Kimetsu no Yaiba and she used to hate cartoons kekI even miss those bad movies from decades ago because at least they didn't have this I'll intention No shit kids these days are always escaping. It's way too hostile and depressing and I'm an adult, but I wouldn't survive this era as a kid or at the very least I would be fucking suicidal

>>740443973I know what you mean. you just have to look at this board to realize how lost zoomer and gen alpha are. truly sad generations
>>740443651This is why every other game now is a remake. Millennial niggas are single-handedly keeping the hobby alive because they can afford it and are addicted to nostalgia (myself included).Here's hoping the OoT remake rumors end up being true. I'm locked and ready for having a fucking blast.
>>740481383Its 100% not for everyone but why not do all the things you love with someone you love
>>740481629But I'm not a faggot who's attracted to men and I find sexual activities with men revolting.
>>740481694that sounds like its not for you then. best of luck with whatever you end up doing.
I upgraded to novels in 2015 and enjoy my life way more.I still follow the E3 weeks like right now, but every year the technical and gameplay jumps just get less and less. I will probably not even watch trailers of new games by 2030.I mean E33 is just the same fucking game as FF8 or FF10 we all played 25 years ago. The field is stagnant and dying.
>>740443973The problem is that to play some of the good games in the hobby (which are old games, to be honest), you need some modicum of literacy for some good RPGs, and some patience/common sense to play some of the hardcore/skill-based titles, and the faggots that grew up on fast-paced media (TikTok) have none of that.Gaming is turning into a boomer hobby akin to woodworking and vinyl collecting.
>>740481106I wasn't seen as human to begin with, that's kind of the whole thesis statement of my post. So when you say this, it doesn't move me in the way you might think it does, it just tells me I'm exactly in the position I thought I was anyway.
>>740478237Yeah, but it's fat, old middle-aged millennial cunts that are ruining the hobby.The hobby is millennials screeching at one another, with one millennial group ruining it for the rest and the other half complaining to stop ruining it and to remember the roots.
>>740443973Sleep tight knigger
Younger generations play games for casual fun with their friendsThey don't make it their lifeThey don't play super serious single-player games with a tryhard storyThey don't grind mobs in MMOs so a middle-aged man working at walmart "raid lead" can yell at them for three hours three times a weekGames in general to them are what habbo hotel and club penguin were for us

>>740443973I would say zoomers are busy getting laid but apparently they can't even manage that, not really sure what the fuck it is they actually do
>>740482620The reality is that zoomshits are stuck in a scrolling loop on Xitter and TikTok for hours on end, have lost whatever attention span they had, and can't sit for more than an hour to play any video game, let alone anything that isn't a movie game.
>>740482817Doesn't help that most modern games are too shit for even older gens to sit down and run through. If it isn't trying to moneygrub you like a two bob whore between loading screens it's some psychologilst approved control box that taps into the brain.
>>740443651why do pretty much zero AAA games reflect that demographic?its all just girlbosses and none white over and over again these days

>>740484306>Living paycheck to paycheck>1 month safety net >okay-ish jobBrother that is nowhere near "okay-ish" that's poverty level.
No shit.Nostalgia why the industry keeps pumping out remakes of old games. It's easier than writing an original story which people will hate.

>>740483096because financial elites are paying bounties to make popular media gay and retarded

>>740450854No, the "modern audience" is the direct opposite of that group, which is why everything is gay and retarded instead of the kinds of games they grew up withI don't understand how anyone can come to the conclusion that the biggest demographic would be supporting all these dogshit games that keep failing if, because then they would be successful instead of dead in the waterMaybe critical thinking just isn't a thing anymore

>>740474826>Why is everyone here so damn old?The underageb& pipeline dried up a decade ago. Nobody organically reaches 4chan from anywhere else on the web anymore. It has been completely supplanted by other platforms, and its vanishing cultural power means nobody under 18 is going to bother trying to integrate into a website that is based on the culture and mores of Ayashii World era 90s textboards in Japan. Without that pipeline, the average anon is now in their thirties.
>>740443651>"The average American gamer is a 37yo white man"Doesn't matter, we should make games and pander to only trannies and POC women
>>740448595I unironically had an older co worker march up to me and a few other guys once and say this. I hide my power level at work, but the other dudes were yaping about Pokemon or something. This older guy just had this look of exasperation on his face and shouted "WHY DON'T YOU START A FAMILY INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT POKEMONS".
>>740486452Activity and post counts across all of 4chan are clearly trending down. Oldheads age out, but new blood doesnt come in. 4Chan is pretty much a millenial retirement home at this point, as you say.
Actually, why so many people openly consider not having a wife and kids a failure at life? I have PhD in applied physics, aside from video games also find fulfilment in photography and scale models, having some achievements in both... and yet most of my family consider me a failure because I don't have wife and kids, being 36 already.The worst aspect is that they honestly think that it's so easy as breathing. I had serious social problems as kid and teenager, only started to learn how to talk to people at around 25-28, with great help of my mom's friend, who was a psychologist, so I'm pretty much used to be and spend time alone, this became basically instinct, I also lack basic social reflexes necessary to maintain relationships (like how I automatically help and take care of someone in need when I see or hear they are in trouble but have absolute zero inner drive to call someone and ask how they feel and such otherwise or assume that if someone is not asking me for assistance they don't need or want it). But I keep hearing about how "you just come out and talk to people" and other bullshit "advices".I honestly don't understand.
You guys don't take in account there's just less young people than 30 years ago
>>740486939thats just how normies think

>>740448595Can barely take care of myself. Being responsible for kids and having to spend so much time with other people sounds like a nightmare, though I understand this attitude of mine is likely the result of something wrong with me and my upbringing.
>>740486939>The worst aspect is that they honestly think that it's so easy as breathing.Speaking as a permavirgin myself, I've come to think it actually is, and most incels / femcels are in truth just volcels. If you really wanted to be in a relationship and lowered your standards enough, you could just hit bars or some dating apps until you find a partner who's desperate enough to settle down with any sperg off the street. I wager that's how most normal people get together, by picking from the leftovers, since they find being with a person they only kind of like preferable to being completely alone, due to biological, social and economical needs or peer pressure. It's not rocket science: put penis in vagoo, oops, now you're a dad.Obviously I don't think you should do that. A lot of people end up in unhappy relationships and have kids without the proper basis for supporting them. At least personally I prefer the idea of spending my life alone supporting myself and my own hobbies, in comparison to the idea of ending up in a loveless marriage where I have to pretend being a human both in my work and private life.
>>740448595having a family is over. It's simply a pipe dream in current year. The question is how you cope with this fact. In the old days men went to war to die honorably at least. Now they consume entertainment all day to numb the pain
>>740448595>Why didn't you guys marry or have children? Hard to marry and have children when women abort babies and divorce.
>>740448595I just don't care about everything related to relationships. I went out with a girl once, she kept looking at instagram and taking pictures, i have no social media, it was so boring i never did it again.
>>740487852i agree with the idea that most incels (in the original meaning of the word, not the quasi-terrorist meaning it has taken on these days) actually have hugely inflated standards and egos. they seethe endlessly over why stacy doesn't want them, when they are a 5 at best. like be realistisc nigga.
>>740487909I mostly live in a humble home with a large garden i tend to in the backyard, along with just existing with my hobbies. Considering my heart has been weak since birth, it's not like i'd make much of a long term manual laborer and since my early 30s they put me on an early pension solely because i'm pretty much on a lost cause in improving the overall prognosis which is a continual decay of cardiovascular strength. I'll likely die in my mid 50s or 60s and although i did have a job as an electrician, so now most of my time is spent on enjoying vidya and the small tranquil hobbies i have available. Trying to consider putting together a family when you likely won't have enough time to see your kids move from home seems stupid, not to mention being hitched with someone and having them go through the pain of something like palliative care or my health deteriorating isn't really pleasant in any sense. Thus the fate is to face death alone and i've made peace with that.
>>740443651That's such a waste. These men could be fighting for freedom in Iran or something.
38yo chad here. (wife and two kids - 7 and 11)i only play noita and high fleet on daily basis (ill probably add manor lords in few years when its feature complete)i get a game here and there when bored, today i got space wreck, some latvian spaceship fallout clone. shits comfy. looking forward to release of PVKK, wish there were more splinter cell clones
>>740472964What do you mean, like 70% of the modern releases are remakes and remasters of shit we've played in our best years.
>>740482381I never said anything about how people see you, I said what you are. Behaviour makes you what you are. You chose to be a subhuman.
>>740484054>buzzwords and no argument
>>740486939>and yet most of my family consider me a failure because I don't have wife and kids, being 36 already.Because children extend your existence into the future and no children ends your bloodline.How do you have a phd and not understand this basic truth? Top kek.
>>740483796not a tranny just a knower>>740485524cry as much as you want but gacha games are bringing in a shitload of money especially from clueless kids with no self control
>>740486939Families mean companionship, connections and accumulation of wealth. Well, used to. And a lot of people are deathly afraid of being alone so they can never imagine not having someone at their side at all times.
>>740481106>>740488758Anything wrong with being a subhuman?
>>740489063>Never had issues with making friends and forming relationships.>Have hermit tendencies regardless, finding both constant human companionship and socializing extremely draining in every sense>Everyone around you might as well use you as phone charger for their social needs.What a cursed existence.
>>740448595>can't afford it>have health issues I don't want to pass on>pessimistic about the future of the world>don't want to give up my freedom>find kids extremely annoying>would not want to raise a kid in the social media age>don't want a gf because I hate other people and find the human body disgusting so no interest in having sexThe list goes on
>>740474780>if you get boners you're a normie!Teehee!
the dudes in middle age and above without families that I've met are all universally at least a little bit off. did they not start a family because of this weirdness, or did going through life alone make them like that?
>>740462014Thief 2 should be on here as well
>>740473553no money and not time because working to solve the no money. they settle for cheaper thrills like sports betting and playing old and obscure new games with discord friends.also zoomers in english speaking countries are increasingly non-european and play stuff that appeals to indians and chinese instead. like gacha and betting.
>>740443651Why would a young man play shitty Western games or boring Jap games with bad characters? Porn, gambling, and UFC are all right there on his phone.
>>740489223Most of the ones that i got to know honestly make much better husband material than most of those who do have wives or a family. It isn't always so cut and dry, nor black and white. Some people are just down on their luck or simply have had other priorities in life. From the ones i know: One spent like two months of a year on land, another worked in night shift road maintenance with a completely fucked circadian rhythm and lived in a bumfuckistan town with a population of 44. Others were some form of mixtures of these and the kind of totally fucked spergs are far and wide between, if even the vast minority of those who make up the kinds of dudes in my close circles.
>>740489223if it's not the first then inevitably it will be the secondmy aunt couldn't have children and used to be chill but got weirder and weirder as she got older. idk if it's bitterness or what but it definitely changed her
>>740489223Being alone too much will fuck a nigga up. Like literal, measurable brain damage.
>>740483315>and blame all their problems on anyone slightly older than them.But millennials do this too. All the Boomer hate comes from millennials.
If, despite having a job and hobbies, II'm still alone and self diagnosed as unable to maintain relationships - by this logic, isn't it like I do women a favour by remaining alone?Also, I know about this whole "lower your standards" talk but then again, in my very family I have case of someone who was married twice and divorced twice, almost left with nothing at all. So it's not like "everything is better than being alone".
>>740474409This. I was in a gender segregated school and university and I have never interacted with a girl before and don't know how.
>>740490210The problem with the modern "lower your standards" means playing someone save file on "not my daddy" difficulty or a landwhale who reeks of mayo
>>740490210I have a friend who is on his third marriage. He is almost $80k in credit card debt and still considering remarrying, even though both of his kids are in the custody of his ex-wife. My poor head cannot comprehend almost unilaterally jettisoning every ounce of respect or self-sufficiency in your life for what is effectively a roller coaster of emotional distress and failures.
>>74044365135. We don't have too many years left of being a relevant demographic though
>Thread about how it was always true and now proven that the whole thing of women being 50% of gamers is an absolute lie.>Only a few posts are talking about that topic.>Rest of the thread is nihilism, demoralizing, crabs in bucket mentality and seething about women.Why is this place like that? More importantly, why the fuck I keep coming back?
>>740443973>>740444327Zoomers are the most divisive and divided demographic. They have higher highs but holy shit their lows are abysmal. Ask any middle school or high school teacher and you will get a similar answer. There are more good and well performing students than ever before. Kids that can actually accentuate what they want, their feelings and their path in life. It all dwarfed out by the amount of kids who are absolute bumfucks who can't even string up a proper sentence. What used to be a couple of bad eggs is now the norm. The center has been completely hollowed out, the former average kid is now a rarity. These different types of Zoomers also despise each other.
>>740491021Nobody gives a shit about a woman, because that issue is downstream of everything else.
im literally 37, white and male. I just got done banging my 20 year old gf though and we're about to play some ps1 games tonight.
>>740443792Fellow 37 year old, you should play Age of Empires 2
>>740448595I am 37 and have a wife and a house. My wife is in the kitchen right now making lunch. Sucks to suck, faggot.
>>740443651just like zoomers I don't spend money on modern westoid vidya because it all sucks dick. withouth nintendo and some other japanese studios and a few indie titles here and there, I would completely ignore traditional gaming. free to play gachas and emulation are, in most cases, better alternatives.
>>740484281>I could pretty much spend the rest of my life playing all the SNES games I missedI played the entire SNES library in under a year, what? There are 700 or so US licensed snes games. About 40% of that is sports games and 50% is shovelware.
>>740491021Women play 50% of games.White men make it their identity since they have nothing else.
>>740443792How would you ironically turn 37
>>740491021It's literally impossible for OP to be true. It's obvious bait and you're letting what you wish reality to be fill you wish disinformation. 37 years old cannot be the median age. People in their 50s are not playing games. It's impossible.
>>740493057Anyone who actually believes that women make up 50% of the revenue for traditional retail-style games and live service games made in that vein is retarded.A lot of the people who say crap like this lie about everything and can't be taken at their word.
>>740474826Because in 2015 all of us were 22/26 yo anon...you are the next batch.
>>740493171>for traditional retail-style games and live service games made in that vein is retardedBoth of them are dying. I'm sure white men spend the majority on gacha slop, but that is not sustainable. Actually building a future for games involves attracting women.
>>740444327>Parents these days take kids to the apple store to pick out a new ipad because the toddler broke his fourth one already
>>740443651>spend twenty plus years yelling that white men aren't your audience and everyone has to appeal to women and minorities >whoops pls buy our games
>>740448595>9/11>8 years of Obongo>Great recession>boomers going full force with their sociopathy and selfishnessI was just tired, boss
i thought i'd be married and have kids by nowi'm 25
>>740448595I'm married lol
>>740448746>expecially my wife the 5th childi lol'd
>>740493420White men are a dying audience. Anything aimed at them was never sustainable in the first place. Filtering out the rot to let new life enter is a key part of maintensnce.
>>740493452I hope you've got a job. Every single "get people into work" scheme is aimed at 18-25 year olds.
