User, YOUR GAMES ARE SLOWING THE COMPUTER DOWN

user, YOUR GAMES ARE SLOWING THE COMPUTER DOWN

Aw shucks, mom. I'm just playing games on Steam, EA's Origin, and Uplay. How could those steal resources?

This isn't a thing anymore, right?
Most normies never touch a desktop computer.

Hoperfully.

Fuck off, mom. Why don't you go suck our next door's neighbor, Mr. Gary's dick.

user, WHERE'S FALLOUT 4, I DOWNLOADED IT FOR YOU TO PLAY IT!

>he didn't grow up with tech illiterate parents
LMAOing AT YOUR LIFE m8

But mom, these singles in my area are real, I will get a girlfriend and quit gaming soon.

Mom, you're hundreds of slots/casino apps are slowing down the iPad.

Sorry mom, it was slowing down the computer.

>Delete icons and leave the game installed

Thanks for fixing it user

Parents are fucking retarded about everything unless you're lucky.
>fat all my life growing up
>fat jokes from my parents most of all
>"Whoa hey user, packing on weight for winter?"
>hit 18 and decide I want to get fit before college
>start exercising and counting my calories for once
>drop like 30 pounds over 6 months
>"Oh my god user are you sick? Losing all that weight isn't healthy. You've lost enough."
>still looked fat as fuck then
>continue dropping weight and they start acting really passive aggressive for some reason
>"Why don't you want to eat this pizza? It's going to go to waste!"
>"Live a little!"
How I didn't kill myself back then, I still wonder.

SON, LOOKING AT PORNOGRAPHY BEFORE YOU'RE 18 IS ILLEGAL, YOU'RE GOING TO END UP IN JAIL.

user, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ANY DESSERT UNLESS YOU GIVE MOMMY KISSES IN HER SPECIAL AREA!

Were your parents fat?

user PLEASE STOP GIVING THE COMPUTER ALL THESE VIRUSES WITH YOUR GAMES

Why do you take a woman's opinions that seriously? Is she fit?

pussy

my parents were like this

Look it the other way: you survived and you bounce back.

No mom, it's from all the nigger BC porn you look up on unsafe sites that causes viruses, no wonder dad left you and you're 50+ and still single

And killing our expensive color TV

Why is everyone so adamant about going /fit/?

>resulting in even more waiting even more clicking

jesus

the best way to explain shit like that is to just write it down, parents need time to digest information, telling them that just won't work.

It was both parents, and the worst part was they were both overweight (not as much as me) and always falling for the latest diet fad like ketones and juice cleansing and shit, and then falling off the wagon after a month. They even asked me how I lost the weight and I told them about counting calories and their response was basically "Starving yourself isn't healthy user."

You must be at least 18 to post on this board.

If you're 18 and you still share a PC with your parents, move out.

These are memories you silly cunt

That's tough.

Are you retarded?

This whole thread is basically people identifying with a common thing that happened during childhood when tech illiterate parents were saying that games slow down the computer.

You should be the one getting banned for being underage if anything.

That is bullshit mom, all my games are denuvo, starforce, securom or safedisk secured. And i only use good anti cheat engine like battleye, punkbuster, hackshield or xigncode.

DONT FUCKING WORRY MOM

>Parents were tech literate
>Worst tech drama moment was when my dad caught me looking up porn when I was 12

Hey son, killing bad guys again?

No dad, today I'm playing Far Cry 5.

Now that's a rare Tood.

You're parents are top tier. You on the other hand is a stick in the mid.

>dad was(and still is) a tech whiz when I was growing up
>buys and installs sweet ass games for me like KOTOR and Simpsons Hit and Run

Fucker has a playlist of old songs that he plays for my grandpa which is mostly New Vegas songs

Were your parents so poor that they couldn't even afford to send you to public school?

that shit goes away with a QUICKNESS, user.
i used to be near skellyman-tier before i hit 25. BOOM, beer belly in 3 months.
been busting my ass since.

>user, what is that wall knocking sound? Do you play these internet games again?

Public school is free in my country.

wow, they sound like shit parents. they want to drag you down almost.
can't stand to face their own failures. much like stoner friends that never grow up and call you stuckup when you stop smoking weed with them and get a job

You're thicker than a blue haired gender studies major at a nathan's contest.

No dad im playing Wolfenstein

>t. I ate a whole slice of bread WITH BUTTER for breakfast and still didn't get fat!

My dad's pretty much the tekkie in the household.
Has a timer on the router and monitors all devices that connect to it.

>t. I got gout, diabetes, lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance from eating one Hanuta

What's going on in this thread?

Windows 10 was the best thing that ever happened to me. It dropped, my family all rushed to upgrade, and I switched to Linux Mint. Now whenever they call me up to try and get me to fix something, I just say that I don't know how to.

>Father is an engineer
>Friends with a software architect whose kids I'm friends with
>Always had a thing for electronics, being a bit of an audiophile, and moving on to computers with the C64
>Buys a computer and figures games might be fun for a kid like me
>Starts casually gaming himself in the late 90s after seeing games become less and less aimed at kids
>Keeps upgrading the computer for me

>Playing WoW in 2004
>Watches me try and grind honour in Hillsbrad back before the battlegrounds became a thing
>PC fucking jams for a solid minute after landing due to the massive zerg in the area
>Watches me explain that it's not THAT bad and how this really cool huge battle is going on almost 24/7 there
>Walks away after looking at the slideshow tier FPS
>Brings a new computer the next day
Only these threads made me realize, in retrospect, that I was pretty lucky to have one technologically literate parent.

>ask mum why they're slowing down the computer
>ask mum why they would even sell games that give viruses and not get in trouble
>JUST BECAUSE!
Why don't mothers ever like to be wrong?

>nathan's contest
as if a gender studies major would be caught anywhere near that many phallic, oppressing shaped foods

Its time to leave grandpa

wew

>oops user, I dropped your gameboy haha, let me get it for you

>new computer
>not just upgrading the bottlenecks
Your dad's a bad engineer

This thread is very relatable. Why does every mom think this? Moms must be the highest form of normie

but you are playing them all too

...

mommy!

dont post ever again

BUT WHO WAS PHONE

MOOOM, GET YOUR FATASS AWAY FROM THE SCREEN

He was never an IT one himself. They did upgrade the parts here and there, but a lot of the time they didn't bother and just replaced the whole thing and kept the old PC intact so I could LAN with my friends with 2-3 PCs.

That's what I do myself nowadays too. I just upgrade the whole fucking thing every 4 years and tough it out until then even if I could solve some issues by just replacing the GPU.

I've had friends come over and ask me what the thing sitting on my desk is. It's like where the fuck else do they thing my PC is? I'm not running games from monitors.

man I wish I had a computer made of skulls that generates evil energy

>exploring the cave where you started
Oh boy sounds like a lot of fun

>you bounce back.

He bounces back when he jumps out a window

You had Applefag friends with Macs for professional circlejerking and music editing programs used once in a lifetime

There's usually some hidden loot behind a blocked off part of the cave that you have to blast open with a power you get later in the game.

>"anooon, why do you have 3 computers?!"

my browser crashes whenever i open it. what is it? :(

what a waste of electricity

Gaddamn. I've been there. I let my great grandma on the internet once. shit was gold

Noscript can acutually be a hassle for normies, but otherwise no amount of antivirus or browser plugins can save someone from their own stupidity.

It's only really a viable option for gaming when you pair it with a skeleton goblet anyway so it's not like you're missing out.

>Not always going left first in any sidescroller

The opposite is better, but not by much.
"Hey, user is a programmer, he will fix it"

Sorry to hear your parents are like that. Why did they think you were starving yourself?

I once wanted to play Vice City but the shortcut to the game wasn't on my desktop, so I moved it from my brother's desktop to mine. I should've copied it, as a day or so later my brother found out his game was "gone", got mad and beat me up over it.

My mommy is good with computers

>If you don't uninstall the Steam virus no mummy cummies tonight!!

>One shared family computer
>brother uses it to download shit from Limeware, I only play WoW and do school work on it
>he obviously downloads some virus which leads to a fake 'anti-virus' software being installed, which tells us we need to pay hundreds of dollars to remove 'trojans' from our PC
>I tell parents this isn't my fault and not to buy the 'software', of course they blame me and side with my older brother
>they buy the 'software' and of course nothing changes, PC is still fucked
>parents buy a new computer and ban me from playing WoW

Thanks Lachlan you asshole

NO

You can't guarantee that half these posts aren't their current situations.

Also, what kind of fucking tech illiterate parents did you have that were actively aware of computers to the point that they could discern whether or not the computer slowed down, let alone use a fucking computer. That's not tech illiterate, that's some fucking millennial-tier parents, and if your parents are young enough to have enough tech awareness for this kind of crap, it means you're fucking underage.

Can confirm. My dad always wrangles me into fixing his shit/helping him for 10 hours when he's upgrading his PC or trying to retrieve files or something. It's a hassle.

Fuck, did they apologize?

>Hey lil bro, wanna see whose stronger? Let's have a wrestling match! Whoever can pin the other down gets to choose which vidya we play together

>dad get you to fix a computer of his friend
>computer is so fucked it looks like possessed by a tanuki and a six tailed kitsune, and they're constantly fucking

Pretty cool, but when are you going to buy a real computer like iMac?

You are so fucking retarded, jesus.

Back before you were born (around like 2004 or so I'd wager), PCs were generally a lot slower and it was a lot easier to notice performance drops and such. Also the problem was the tech illiterate parents were usually the ones downloading the bloatware and toolbar shit that was actually making the PC slower but blaming it on your video games.

End yourself.

My stepdad was already about 15 years into a sysadmin job at a regional level for an international company when he married my mom, by the time I was old enough to start using the computer competently it was already too late for me to ever have any fun; tech saavy parents are not as good a thing as you think if they have any conservative views as to what you should be doing online whatsoever. Not that it stopped me from my current life of 4-10 hours a day of fapping now that I'm 31, but no matter what I did to clear my histories or claim I wasn't playing vidya, he would just pull up the administrator account on the computer and show me the event logs showing I launched -insert game- when I wasn't supposed to be playing anything.

>Also, what kind of fucking tech illiterate parents did you have that were actively aware of computers to the point that they could discern whether or not the computer slowed down, let alone use a fucking computer
This is just silly user. Any e-mail, news and ms office parent that clicks on ads and downloads bloatware can tell if there user experience is worsening and use the basic consumer functions of a computer.

"Actively aware of computers"
Seriously guy? We're long past the 50s.

Correct. Nowadays each person in the family has their own laptop, tablet and iPhone whilst whining about not enough government gibs.
