The cope is unreal. You spend 6 hours a day on a screen pressing buttons and call it a hobby. Hobbies produce something. Hobbies build skills. You're sitting in the dark yelling at a monitor and acting like it's the same as learning an instrument or building furniture. It's not.Every adult gamer I know is behind in life. Behind on rent. Behind on career. Behind on relationships. The game isn't the escape it's the reason. You're not unwinding you're avoiding. There's a difference between relaxing and disappearing.If you played video games only two hours a day, within 5 years that would be 3650 hours. With only 3650 hours think of all the things you could do.>Become a classically trained musician>Achieve fluency in 2-3 new languages>Read 365 books, assuming 10 hours per book, on any subject you want>Learn multiple programming languages>Become a skilled athlete, or a marathon runner (exercise also greatly improves brain size and function, unlike vidya)>Earn a bachelor's or masters degree>Learn Chess to a high ELO and compete in local clubs>Do anything productive, creative, or fun that isn't looking at a screenA couple years ago I was playing TF2 on a community server and this phlog pyro joined the server with his medic boyfriend and was severely fucking annoying. I looked at the steam account and it seriously had 22,000 hours into TF2. Not only that but it was some gay brony account as well. Vidya makes you retarded and is a massive time sink, especially online multiplayer games. Posting on /v/ isn't much better. You guys will call me a fag, but you know I'm rightAnd the "it's my passion" excuse is the loudest cope of all. Nobody says "I'm passionate about watching Netflix" but gamers think calling it passion makes it noble. You're not passionate. You're addicted. You're choosing a screen over your own life and calling it a hobby so you don't have to look at what you're running from.
spambot thread, replying without the downvote herb means you're a nigger
Ok cool, and?Anyway read only title.
this wall of cope being written by some discorder faggot on fucking /v/ of all places is like some 500 pound fat guy (like OP) telling me how to eat right and get in shape
>>748900460#3 and 4 should be him getting fat like CWC and raping his mom lmao
>>748900460Okay. Do you watch TV every day?
>tf2 trannies getting uppity again because Valve tricked them with another seasonal goyslop update
>even the replies are the same as last thread
>>748900460There's millions of chess players. 99% of them are not high elo. What would you tell to them?
>>748900460Brown-coded opinion from someone who's parents beat them for not studying 24/7 or some other retarded brown reasoning
>>748901076Sounds like projection
>>748900460>adults who work everyday don't have jobs they have an addiction
>>748900460#4 is basically Asmongold, he's both #1 and a wealthy and respectable multi-million entrepreneur.
>>748900687Its the same guy spamming anti video games doomer shit for a year now every day using same pictures in OP and mods dont ban him for some reason lmao. Its this picture,some asian faggot video,that eceleb picture with "vidya aint fun anymore" and more. Its either a bot or mentally ill retard whos a janny or a mod lol.
>>748901178Oh my, that hit you close to home for you to lash out with "projection" incorrectly kekarooski
>>748900460>rotting in front of videogames is LE BAD>you should be rotting in front of the TV or social media all day like (((normal))) people!!!!!
>>748900460I did this exact same thing except instead of videogames it was my engineer degree and now I don't have a job, am miserable and videogames are my only joy
That's me
>>748901887Listen up sweetie, "wasting" your time on social media has the purpose of keeping up with the correct opinions and becoming a functional member of society and bettering yourself.Don't you wish to be a better man?
>>748900460> DURR STOP PLAYING VIDYA!!1> PLAY CHESS INSTEAD!!1The only reason Chess gets any honorable distinction from video games is because it's old as fuck.
>>748901669No one that isnt projecting would bring that up, its too specific that it must be your life
>>748900460>behind in life. Behind on rent. Behind on career. Behind on relationships.according to who? loans companies?
>>748900460This comic forgot the part where the guy becomes a successful streamer from being good at the game and makes more money doing that than he would've working a normal job
>>748901887Yes. You should only have socially acceptable hobbies, like sports, cars, drinking and torturing nerds.
>>748902201Yes, you can tell they're projecting because they clearly relish their brown upbringing by calling themselves and all other brown people retarded. yes, that makes more sense than you just not knowing what projecting means
>He says this on a video game board>Had posted this exact thread multiple timesSounds like you need to grow up
>"you're not X, you're Y" every single sentenceSo much for improving brain size and function then, huh? You defer to ChatGPT to formulate your argument for you, because your stylometry is otherwise lacking in any cohesion.
>>748900460video games are never a hobby; it's entertainment
>>748902974>you just not knowing what projecting meansThe irony
>Hobbies produce something. Hobbies build skills. What are you producing and which skills are you building when doing stamp collecting?
>>748900460Not dying for Israel or ZOGmerica, go whine about the youth somewhere else boomer, while I kick back and keep doing things I enjoy.
>>748900460mid-grade rage bait.life is meaningless and short, do what you enjoy.
>>748905380Only a brown ESL gets ass raped by comments like that lol sorry that you are getting raped here :(
>>748902974They don't speak English you are wasting your time
>>748900460congrats or sorry that happened.
>>748900460>You spend 6 hours a day on a screen pressing buttonsThis is the story of a man named Stanley
>Become a classically trained musicianAI will produce better music than anything you can dream of>Achieve fluency in 2-3 new languagesAI will create Babel fish>Read 365 books, assuming 10 hours per book, on any subject you wantWell if you're into reading then just read?>Learn multiple programming languagesThis is a joke right? Have you seen half the threads on the catalogue?>Become a skilled athlete, or a marathon runner (exercise also greatly improves brain size and function, unlike vidya)Who gives a fuck>Earn a bachelor's or masters degreeWorthless in <5 years with AI>Learn Chess to a high ELO and compete in local clubsChess is boring as fuck compared to the best vidya available, I say this as someone who played for years>Do anything productive, creative, or fun that isn't looking at a screenNo.
>>748900460Jeet post lol "muh shitskin parents didn't let me play so it must be bad wah wah wah"
>make thread on /a/ proclaiming that anime is for faggots and anyone who watches anime is a manchild>instant ban, thread deleted>make thread on /v/ proclaiming that video games are for faggots and anyone who plays video games is a manchild>mods allow the thread to stay up, reaches 500 postsWhat's with that? This thread has been up for 2 hours so you can't use the excuse that the jannies haven't had enough time to catch it.
>>748900460So while being critical of people spending time how they choose you mention not only do you play video games but spent time on looking up a profile of someone who assblasted you at a 20 year old video game. I'd wager you are a petty and jealous fuck in real life and if you were a carpenter or some other hobbyist you think is better than the rest, if a person came up and showed you the best table you'd ever seen you would get snitty and start complaining they spent too much time wood working.HERE"S THE RUB YOU ACTUAL FUCKING TROGLODYTE, NO HOBBY IS EVER WORTH IT EXCEPT FOR THE PERSON WHO IS ENGAGING IN IT. YOU ARE GONNA DIE AND ALL THAT ANY OF THE HOBBIES YOU LISTED ARE GOING TO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IS WASTING TIME ON THIS PLANET
>>748900460This is the type of thread you'd see on /pol/ posted by a memeflag
>>748907559I honestly don't think they care unless it personally hurts their feelingsThe number of threads that go up that blatantly break the rules but stay up show the mods and jannies don't give a shit.
>>748907559>>748908018Only rule that jannies care about is hunting down actual video game threads and deleting them for being ”generals”. Which I wouldn’t mind if they cleaned obvious stinky shit like this thread and those billion Twitter / eceleb threads, but nope!
>>748900460>NOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST *ENJOY* YOUR FREE TIME DOING WHAT YOU LIKE YOU MUST SLAVE AWAY FOR TYRONE AND WEST BANK JEWS WHO DON'T HAVE TO WORK Suck my dick. No pussy, no work. I hope western civilization collapses and the hordes of feral, starving browns rape you and your children to death right in front of you before setting you on fire and feasting on your charred innards.
