Oh man, now I feel like playing some TF2 again. Thanks OP

On par with watching tv or claiming you're into sports but never actually joining a league

nah bruh they teach me hand eye coordination and vitamin D deficiency.

Like most things, they're fine in moderation. Excess is what leads to degeneracy.

If you put it that way, every single thing that isn't learning or exercising is degenerate, that would mean literally no fun allowed, Goebbels perfectly described fanatical moralfaggotry like this, look it up.
>TF2 pic
Will they ever release that damn Pyro Update?

>video games are usele-
"Of the surgeons who participated in the study, 15 reported never playing video games, nine reported playing zero to three hours per week, and nine reported playing more than three hours per week at the height of their video game playing. "Surgeons who had played video games in the past for more than three hours per week made 37 percent fewer errors [in the Top Gun course], were 27 percent faster and scored 42 percent better overall than surgeons who never played video games. Current video game players made 32 percent fewer errors, were 24 percent faster and scored 26 percent better overall than their non-player colleagues," the authors write. Those in the top one-third of video gaming skill made 47 percent fewer errors, performed 39 percent faster and scored 41 percent better on the overall Top Gun score than those in the bottom one-third.

Hmm... it's like wiring the brain and training it for a reward mechanism when a task is performed successfully isn't a bad thing...

Yep. Also, only degenerate kissless virgins watch anime.

pyro update when the race war begins

video games expose you to bronies, fags, trannies, etc. My silver team had a trannie on it

>video games
>working out

what if you combine them?

reading is not enough, ditch games and replace it for working out.
I like Sup Forums but it is very unhealthy! as well as the internet, buy classical music CDS and play them on your music player while you do other stuff (don't use earplugs, those SUCK)

I don't do any sport however, I cba moving my fat ass but you should uhhh i just dont posses the motivation

i unironically oppose anime. its worse than porn.

>Are video games degenerate?
Yes.

I'll still play Pathologic 2 when it comes out.

Funny you should mention those two things because all I do at the moment is train and play video games.

Absolutely, it's a total waste of time. It's really evident when you're speaking to someone who's addicted to a particular game. It's all that's on their mind when you talk to them. They dream about the fucking thing.

Not a waste of time because some games can actually make you money. I make some extra cash by playing Lineage 2, for example.

It's about as much of a waste of time, if not sometimes less, than pretty much every other hobby.

Going outside exposes me to trannies and libs in general, should I just never go outside? Should I just like like a plank of wood in bed so I'm not exposed to any degeneracy?

they are deigned in such a way to give you a sense of satisfaction and achievement in just enough of a dose that you do not attempt to amount to anything in your real life.

MMO's and strategy games especially have consumed some of the sharpest and hardest working minds of the past 20 years.

escapism and entertainment are both important to staying balanced in a world full of distraction and stress, games are neither, games are replacement activity.

it is conditioning for a world of strict rules and boundaries on imagination.

Everyone needs downtime and relaxation. Games have been a part of human life from day dot, and while videogames are certainly built towards addiction and timesinking these days, they can be played in moderation as a downtime hobby just as anything else. It can be social, it can have benefits in brain training and solving logic problems, though at its lowest as mindless entertainment should be avoided even in moderation.

It depends on the game.
TF2 is based.
>Pic related.

No.

lol. I got banned from kike box live for red pilling people. now I'm banned on CS Go for doing the same shit.

TF2 certainly seems to be fairly degenerate.

some nights this used to happen to me
video game addiction is a very real thing and I experienced it
stopping took finding a different hobby, surfing the web, which is not much better. But I get to read up on other things that interest me and learn things here and there rather than pour all my time into a single focus
plus when I feel like going to sleep i can just cut off my computer instead of saying "One more match" and ending up going to bed at 7am

first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one

>Pyro
>Leaf
Big if true.

It's not degenerate but spending all day in front of a screen is retarded.
When you're a kid or have a plenty of free time (like when you're recovering from a bad illness) I see no problems and I think you can use it on your own benefit specially to overcome a long reclusive period.
Some years ago I got a really bad injury and then infection that got me stuck home for almost an year.
Using voice coms on an online video game was one of the few chances I had to have social interaction besides some few friends and relatives visiting me sometimes.
After I got healthy again even when I tried I couldn't spend more than 3 hours playing, not because I didn't want to but because I had better things to do like bringing some of my work home, dating, working out, etc.
I can point more benefits and other stuff related but I don't want to make a boring wall of text.

No I play video games sometimes and work out, TV exposes you to degenerate culture so what should I do for entertainment? Work out every hour of my life?

Most modern hobbies such as: video games, browsing the internet, watching television, using social media, reading books, listening to music, playing an instrument, etc. Are all waste of times that don't accomplish anything

As a musician, I find that videogames actually assist with playing. They increase dexterity in your fingers, so if you're a musician or fingerblasting chicks then videogames are good for you in all honesty.
That said, everything in moderation.

>compared to aids, cancer isn't all that bad

How low your standards are...

>dat psyop

Yes, yes they are.

The remake is looking amazing.

>waste time doing nothing

>waste time doing nothing

Nigga what you think you're doing on Sup Forums? Curing cancer? Bet you got multiple tabs open too.

>Absolutely, it's a total waste of time.
see

Yes, and? Video games are still a waste of time.

I played the free demo for 10+ hours, found every item I could come by etc.
It's mesmerizing.

So wasting your time on 4chinz is ok but vidya is degenerate?

...

You're arguing with a hypothetical person who said Sup Forums isn't a waste of time.

live is not worth living anyway

Death to Chinese cartoons

...

Not inherently, no. It depends a lot of what's being played. Many games can improve things like math, abstract thinking and strategy. You might even meet someone every once in awhile that's half-way tolerable.

What about this?

I feel like war gaming is the most red-pilled form of vidya. You can practice real small-unit combat tactics and battlefield strategy with other dedicated players.

you motherfucker i knew it

At the end of the day our data IRL gets erased and we die so what does it matter?

This is my fav waste of time desu.

THATS FUCKING NICE M8

>tfw I played the witcher 3 for 90mins today while I did cardio

kys faggot I bet you have read less than 5 books this year

Honestly if it weren't for the fact that my brother and I get to "hang out" through vidya and he's my best friend and the only person I know irl who I can actually, really talk to, I would probably not play any vidya
but like, a couple hours of Friday the 13th and Rocket League a night isn't a bad thing if you also study, read, and do other productive things
I listen to educational stuff and the Bible audio for 8-10 hours a day while I'm at work, come home and pray, eat, then practice guitar and/or study for the LSAT and/or write a little of the book I'm working on and/or read a good book (This Time the World - GLR and Ride the Tiger - Evola currently), and then play a little vidya with my bro and go to sleep
I don't think that's bad

>playing vidya before bed
I hope anons don't do this.

Fuggin deep

...

>wasting time doing nothing
Just like everything else you do in your free time.
>degenerate culture
You only expose yourself to what you want to be exposed to. This is a retarded point.
>not working out
Working out is pure selfishness only used to boost your own ego. Only true pussies feel the need to buff themselves up more then what is needed.

TF2 is still fun if you ignore the hat shop shit. I will never play cuckwatch though.

arma 3

Nope, just Sup Forums

>skins mean roadhog is maori, genji is bedouin and hanzo is mongol

I guess TF2 soldier's japanese war mask means he's japanese, huh...

Depends on what game it is and whether or not it eats up all your time.

Rocket jumping is an acquired skill man.

Video game workouts are the answer, idiot

been playing this loads recently, so much fun.

Depends on if YOU are degenerate. Do you use video games as a time sink for half your day? Then yes. Do you enjoy games on your down time, after finishing chores and when you have nothing conceivably better to do? Then no.
Better archive that feeling, nordbro.

>go outside
>nobody worth talking to
>everybody like me is playing video games

I don't have a computer good enough to run it, but when I do I'm gonna join up with SquadOps. Normal Squad looks fun too, but I really like that SquadOps has a dedicated closed server playerbase and a one-life per operation setup. It really gets your adrenaline pumping when you're in a bad situation and there's such a heavy penalty for dying.

>5 more niggers
Jesus H Christ.

I actually had a friend in high school who got one of those DDR pads and he lost 70lbs because of it.

>Vanilla TF2 before it got ruined by hats and all kinds of crap that makes it take forever to load a map
>TFW vanilla TF2 will never happen again

it's just as degenerate as reading unless you only read educational material
and vidya has been proven to sharpen mental skills
watching TV is just as degenerate as well as playing music (unless you actually make money off of your music which most don't), listening to music, art, socializing, etc.

my point is video games are just one form of leisure
and almost all humans spend a lot of their time doing leisurely activities/hobbies and most of those activities aren't sources of revenue and they don't benefit other humans or create anything useful
we just do it because it's fun

some would argue that being able to spend your time enjoying leisure activities is why humans even live
what's the point of having a good career and making money if not to make your life as comfortable as possible and to eventually have as much freetime as possible?

so would I say, no, videogames are not degenerate

>talking to some faggot who only talks about his favorite sports team is better
>or someone who only talks about movies/television
humans talk about a lot of useless crap
I enjoy talking about videogames a lot but that's because the people I talk to usually don't care to talk about politics or science or philosophy which I love to talk about
though all the friends I have that DO enjoy talking about those subjects are all big gamers as well

They're literally made to make you feel like you're doing something, accomplishing something, and are someone powerful. They absolutely degenerate the youth.

Notice that you don't think when you play vg.

>take the reading pill
>when most books are about degenerate shit like pic related

Video Games are alright if you skip the true sjw shit, same thing with books that skip degenerate sjw shit

bump give me (You)'s you faggots stop talking about hand egg

That picture is bull shit. Hanzo and genji are japanese, zenyatta is nepalese, and roadhog is australian

>What are alternate skins?
