How lame is it to play videogames after 25? Red Pill me Sup Forums

It's just entertainment, also open world games are like an early alpha version of the Matrix-like VR in the future

It's only bad when it becomes an obsession. Just like anything

Is it impeding your life? If not then do whatever the fuck you want.

about as lame as any other recreational hobby

no-one cares really

About as lame as playing video games before 25...

Nothing wrong with coming home from work, eating, getting your daily chores done, hitting up the gym or whatever, and then coming home to an hour or so of vidya before bed.

Activates your neurons better than watching talmud vision. Also no advertising jew to poison your mind.

nobody cares m8
especially on a brazilian bean factory worker forum

it's not the 90s, everyone plays video games now

pretty sad, barely enough time between work, gym, grilfriend, friends, and other interesting hobbies

25 - 29 is okay i guess but only if you just got laid off, broke up with, rained/snowed in, or feel like shit and need to get your mind off things without drugs.

But after 30, your wasting your life.

most people who complain about video games watch tv and spend there time on facebook

If you're still a virgin you might as well just kill yourself.

With the recent decrease in the quality of games this day and age I would say it's lamer now than it was 15 years ago.

However many gen X we're infkuenxed by video games and it inspired them to go on and do great things, so I don't think age really matters.

Like everyone else said as long as it isn't an addiction or impeding your life it should be fine

>computer games
>no advertising

This is just silly talk.

If you play videogames and over 20 you should kill yourself.
Grow up.

>having friends and a girlfriend
>"interesting hobbies"
Lol

Around 24ish is when I couldn't play video games anymore, I would get bored no matter what in like 5 minutes. I would buy a new game that came out and would never even get to playing it. Guess it was time to grow up.

what game is this

if you're over 20 and you go on Sup Forums you should kill yourself

Completely depends on the game.

Time wasting, cards, checkers, chess, pool - fine

Fantasy "Im a tough guy with a magic wand" - complete faggotry.

Crysis Warhead

Just play redpilled games. Anything after 2000 is bluepilled AF (with minor exceptions)

Deus Ex is Sup Forumss game

basically this. Growing up, every adult who lambasted me for my video game habit spent multiple hours sitting in front of the TV being advertised to. I learned to stop listening to hypocritical morons that think their particular set of pixels are okay to look at for extended periods, and mine are not.

My aunt was always on my ass about vidya, and recently we had a big talk on her deck about the physics behind space travel and orbiting earth, because she didn't believe the dot moving across the horizon was the ISS. Spent an hour waxing on about how they do things and why, she asked where I got all this information from. I told her a lot of it came from a video game, with some supplementary research to fill in the blanks or the made up shit.

Of course, she rejected everything I had just said to her, believing in her heart I had lead her on for over an hour regarding a subject i knew nothing in

Told her to look it up, went to bed, woke up to an apology. I'm going to make sure my kids know damn well what the importance of authority is, but also let them know that adults are just as narrow minded and stupid as any kid can be

All games are forms of time wasting, you're an idiot.

What about watching educational television, by which I mean documentaries that are at least 20 years old.

Nah - a huge amount marketed towards the lower-caste (You) so they can live out fantasies.

>San Diego
I feel sorry for you, man.

I'm 33 and I've been seeing a 22 year old the last few weeks. She always wants me play video games with her. Probably the most I've played them in 7 or 8 years. My PS4 is a glorified roku since I've had it.

just let them play video games
its up to them to stop playing
as long as they have a job they can do whatever they want
videogames, anime and japanese music is the only thing that keeps me sane from endless wageslaving

This.
If you're wasting time that could be better spent working/learning /socialising you done fucked up

I pretty much just work and play video games when I come back to my apartment.

The "video games are for kids" meme was started by the Jews so the last bit of fun in your life would be sucked out once you hit you're 30s.

Don't fall for it.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Yes. If you're not getting anything out of those games then they are time wasters. Same as video games pal. Your delusion can't change that fact.

Then Sup Forums would be virtually empty.

25 is way to late, if you're playing them at 25 you'll never grow up so might as well give in.

On an unrelated note, that TV looks like it's older than 25.

MY HOBBY IS BUYING GAMES THAT I WILL NEVER PLAY because i get very tired for work and my time management is terrible.

You just listed the reasons why I even play videogames. I don't have those cool things

>mfw they tried to force VR too soon when the equipment wasn't ready and average consumer computers/gaming systems couldn't even meet the minimum for decent performance and became DOA

>buying ea/acti trash with ingame adverts

Austin is a shit-tier hipster leper colony in the South.

San Diego is pretty conservative relative to the rest of the West Coast
>Military
>Rich People

Also our Mexicans stay south of the 8 so if you live in La Jolla (like me) the last thing you worry about is Jose trying to rob you.

San Diego is GOAT on the West Coast

Video games are fine, just make sure you pursue other hobbies that can enhance other aspects of your life, like reading books; though most normies don't read anymore so you tend to look like an aspie reading in public.

>good goyim, waste your time on useless video games
>it's certainly better than finding actual joy and reward in life.
>keep going after that digital prize!

Honestly it's probably better to play vidya in your mid thirties than your teens and twenties. By your mid thirties you should already have a kid and a wife and you really need homey type diversions, as the time for drunken parties and whoring is over. Playing in your teens and twenties you miss out on everything. I've not played them since middle school personally but now that I'm a family man it doesn't seem like such a bad thing..

Games are shit now, they're like interactive movies there's no depth anymore, no skill.

Enjoy being a joyless fuck your whole life, faggot.

No we don't

I play online fps for about an hour a night after work. Sometimes 1.5 hours. It is a great way to wind down the day. I have no idea how someone could play more than that.

I know it sucks here, but guess what?
>muh guns
>muh barbeque
>muh history
Houston and Austin don't count since your fucking state moved over here.

Video games actually can improve cognitive functions believe it or not.

Better then watching TV imo especially if you have friends to play with.

>barley time between work, gym, gf, friends and other faggot hobbies

NORMIE GET THE FUCK OUT REEEEEEEEEEEE

You now have blood on your hands, hope you are happy. I killed myself after reading this

Not lame, OP.
>best bro comes over for a night of chinese food and vidya
>got gf into gayman and she got gud at shooters
>enjoy networking pcs at home
>couch bro-op is best bro-op
>other gf used to cook my meals or bring me food while I played
>she was really impressed by the graphics
>pause game for food and sex
>play game while she cuddles and watches

No weed, no beer, just unfiltered fun. As an adult I don't think there's a reason to be a closet gamer.

> I need to point this out to a native English speaker.

just bought WoW and planning on starting a character from level 1 all the way to level 110

don't care really

On weekends, on the PC about 12-14 hours a day here, normally spent playing vidya or browsing Sup Forums, with the occasional fap
It's pretty fun.

You can get guns in California but it's not easy.

I'm not a california native myself. I grew up in Arkansas and that blew donkey balls. Texas is too hot for me. I like my perpetual 70 degree weather.

Just wait another 20 years and someone will try again.

No it wouldn't. You realize this board is nothing but teenagers, right?

Ironically this doesn't raise any eyebrows if you do it on a kindle. Plus nobody can see the power level of your reading material

>25
its lame to play them after 18, man-child.

Videogames are degeneracy and if you partake in them in any way, shape or form you're actively contributing to the decline of the West and the white race.

The thing that is disappointing about WoW is how casualized it has become over the years. It's easier to get to 110 then to get 60 / 70 back in the day. Also all the focus is on lv 110 content, and older content gets irrelevant very fast.

i will play vidya til the day i die
i am 30, make good money, and am socially competent.
i give precisely 0.0 fucks about what anyone thinks of this

video games are one of the very few things that have always been there for me.

we both know civilization capable of producing these types of entertainment mediums won't exist in 20 years

it feels pretty fuckin bad

yeah that's why there is a big vanilla community but since I never really got to experience WoW ten years ago (I was a GW player) I decided to give it a shot now. Playing on a plasma screen with wireless keyboard.

Why even game on a TV like that? This isn't 1995. He isn't playing a PC game so it's not the refresh rate. Why spend money on a console and games when you can't even afford a TV worth playing them on?

Fucking stupid.

lol see you on /r9k/ soon

Between Work and College, I have really no time to play games like I did back in high school. I used to come home and play shit like BlazBlue for hours. Now I'm either too busy or too tired to bother.
Every Sunday I do clear time to play something with my friends from back home because it's the only way we can keep in touch since we all moved away.

normalfags everywhere

very, you shouldnt really play computer games or wear football shirts after the age of 17

i dont have any friends so I play online games

>implying I care what some autist on 4chinzz thinks

ay wey, los vidyas casi me jodio mi vida romantica, yo no salia a libertir con mis amigos y estaba yo reducando mis chances con viejas. Al 22 anos, ja deje de ser un pinche mamon culero simpre gastando mi vida. Los vidyas si destroye las vidas romanticas con hombres que no trien sabeduria con las chicas y mata mas los chances de garar novias al weyes que no son machismo barones.

it's pretty bad. it takes up too much time.

As long as its in moderation, don't make it the only thing you do

>Not playing grand PC strategy games with instruction manuals and mechanics more mentally stimulating than most social college courses.

If you're not being autistic about it, it's not necessarily bad. I grew up with video games so I play them occasionally, like once a week or so for a few hours. I also go to the gym almost daily and have a family.

This. After you grow up mentally and socially, video games don't interest you anymore. I still play once in awhile, but it's not the same. At least that's how it was for me. The new VR headsets look pretty amazing though. I really want to get one, but I keep reminding myself I'll get bored with it after a few days.

such as?

When the reward system for life catches up with the reward system in video games I'll start caring about life again. Until then fuck off, normie. My colonists in Rimworld need me.

Video games are setting the basis for the future, if you do game you should be playing online games. console or pc. Gaming is a massive cognitive experiment thats only going to become more fruitful. The trick is turning it into a benefit for yourself. If you're really good you should try to start a team, if you're middling ability but think you have a really good understanding of the game you should try managing a team. If thats not the direction you want to go in, you should take an active investment in learning more about game companies and design principles, do you code maybe you should if you're not up for it, maybe you should start evaluating design. The point is its the industry with highest potential for world transformation, and upping your level of intellectual involvement in your gaming life can benefit you in the future. If you don't up your involvement then you're basically just consuming digital drugs. Core concepts in game design, and game play are going to start translating into paying jobs for the average pleb. We're already seeing the millitary applications(Drones), infact I have a feeling when we start mining the asteroid belt its going to be remote controlled mining bots piloted by citizens from the gamer class. But from street repair to city maintenance, and security. The robot and the gamer have solid place in the future. To be honest over the next 60 years the gamer class is going to climb the social ladder significantly, but you're 30 so you need to start looking for the opportunities or creating them

Honestly, if you're past the age of 25 and haven't built your own setup, you should just kill yourself.

Playing on that TV is fucking depressing.

Civilization, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings...

im almost 32 and play some console games, usually just sport games though. For the pc the only games i play are CS 1.6 and a timelock private server of Everquest. I have a family and all that, work and take care of my shit. If I wanna mess around when I dont have anything to do, who the fuck really cares? Now the ones that do nothing but games, they need the help.

pretty jelly of this setup
beats can go in the trash though

What are those poster looking things bolted to the wall?

oh this fucking stupid thread again

>video jew

Those aren't Beats, they look like Audio Technicas. Nobody would ruin an otherwise-nice setup with Beats.

Civilization V
not the VI cuck shit

Depends what games your playing. If your playing stuff that's bland of content and doesn't challenge you then KYS.
If your playing stuff that provides lots of content and actually gives you a challenge your on the right track.
My personal favorite being bloodborne.
The only universal problem I see with gaming is if you get addicted. It leads to shut ins and procrastination.

oh. sorry

But VI is better.
