Are video games absorbing male testosterone

youtube.com/watch?v=b_6V-iSbMM0

People drown themselves in distractions, especially males who look to games to get their competitive fix.
Instead of taking an interest in the real world and focusing energy on doing well, they focus on endless gaming.
I can appreciate if a game like Crusader Kings is sort of educational, but dota/csgo/league are all cancer.

And honestly it's no wonder why games are popular. They're extremely well made. But I feel bad seeing how many young males are not caring about the stuff around them, and I also feel bad for the decade I wasted playing games.
Why try to fight the marxist machine controlled by jews when you rage at dota instead? Because at least in games, things feel fair. You feel in control. So of course you choose it over the real world.

That's no acceptable behavior though, especially for males. Even if things are bleak, the males will try their hardest and be undaunted. If you have children (and you should have children) then limit their time with electronics.

I don't care, I'm still going to play them.

I recognize that vidya is a garbage, unproductive hobby but it's one of the only hobbies I have.

video games are keeping me from going on a killing spree in my parliament

I actually like Paradox games very much (like CK2, EU2, Vicky 2) but they're still a form of escapism. Sure it's nice to be King of France and King of Jerusalem, but either way I'm still sitting at home on my computer instead of running for office or writing to my MP, or something that could actually change things.

It's better to read actual books to get knowledge anyway

If you think video games are a problem, just wait for the VR technologies to improve.

no,m all the soy and xenoestrogens from plastics/pesticides/ and periods are negating it, you mental retard

>men cant enjoy things
fuck off

I can't wait.

you're losers

- t.autist who stopped playing games 3 years ago

It is the most unhealthy thing you do. You don't have to never play games again, but only when theres nothing else to do and everything valuable for the day has been done. (guess what if you ask yourself this honestly you'll find the answer is always theres more to do, and you'll begin to be so fucking happy it is when you see what happens if you actually do shit)

Don't have a good job? why the FUCK are you playing vidya for even a minute EVER?

Don't have a gf? why the FUCK are you playing vidya for even a minute EVER?

Don't understand if it was a false flag or what is happening? why the FUCK are you playing vidya for even a minute EVER?

You can decide to play them, but remember, you're only depleting yourself of motivation. Why you would want to do that to yourself I don't fucking know.

It really is weird once you break the hypnosis (and given how strong it is I feel thats an appropriate term). You see gaming as about as reasonable as eating your own shit. Why would you possibly do it? A simulation of...real life? When real life already has so much to work on. And yet you need to find extra meaning in your life by...pushing buttons.

>YandereDev
stopped right there

i have a job,work 8 hours 30 min every weekday,get home take a shower,eat,engage in playing vidya

No gym? No reading? No social activity?

Sounds like stagnation

Yes and braincells aswell.

All this ranting and I am still going to play games on my PC. I've got a bloodsucker lair to gas, amigo.

I didn't discount shit like fluoride that makes people docile. Just that video games serve as a distraction that chemicals make us vulnerable to more.

Find other people who have similar beliefs. I found someone looking up military history on their laptops and struck up a conversation with them. The more you become a source of friendly socialization for other disenfranchised males, the more they return to their natural state.

Just look at this image. Males spend so much time with fictional characters that they get attached to them with oxytocin, and then lose interest in the real world.

If your job isn't meaningful you're wasting away.

This is where I'd say sure whatever I guess play your vidya. But just think, what if you didn't, what if you dedicated that time to just shitposting instead? or just researching false flags? Or getting a gf lol virgin

I have a job and no female wants me. I've accepted my fate, and your mocking derision will not sway me.

>Oh hey, I just got some motivation, it's amazing!
Oh well done mate, lovely blog. See, I could've been you. Instead I got a job, a gf, and a semi-classical car I work on. I still play Vidya, but have so little time to do it! Vidya is fun escapism where I don't have to remember the CIA are fucking everyone and really evil, I can be the strelok or do some racing, whatever. But only in my fairly small free time.

If you can control yourself, and just sit playing Vidya, of course you'll be unproductive. It's called self control. This thread can be TL;DR'd by saying:
>Hey user's, learn self discipline, it's amazing! I can choose my own actions instead of being an impulsive slob!
No shit buddy . . . ?

I'm never surprised that you kikes are so knowledgeable of how your tactics work. Of course you know how games and porn destroy countries, you purposely distribute them to populations to make them weak.

ok but its not real and serves no purpose to your future self so you're kinda just kicking yourself in the balls every time you do that. Every decision you make that isn't the best one you were capable of making is a step towards your own personal hell. I think it doesn't matter who you are, there is always something better to spend your time on than vidya.

i am married

Jesus you're a defeatist faggot. Considering all the land whales you could at least pork because they're easy.

You're French Canadian, right? Surrender at the first hurdle?

I gave up on modern vidya.

Currently playing a Quake source port, what about you lads?

This i around the time i stopped playing video games 2 years ago,i got laid,became alot more social,started to lift.
Nowadays i rarely play vidya,instead i replaced them with classical or educational literature,all in all i good choice i would say.

New CoC perchance? 1.5 is strange, why fuck the economy?

Nah, I'm good mate you can stow the preaching.

Fortnite battle royale

>Vidya is fun escapism where I don't have to remember the CIA are fucking everyone and really evil
...this makes my point for me.


>>Hey user's, learn self discipline, it's amazing! I can choose my own actions instead of being an impulsive slob!
>No shit buddy . . . ?
well yea, same. But these fucking tards can't seem to get that. Thats why thats still the basis of pretty much all motivational advice. Everyone fails at the same really fucking simple basic task.

Nah, I was referring to S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat

Honestly people play games because they were probably burned by their father when they were young, making them jaded and fearful in trusting people. Throw in a handful of failed relationships with women taking advantage of you and being raised by a single mother, as well as the dawn of the internet and smart phones (human to human interaction dwindling), can you not see how people have come to play as much as they do?

Gran Turismo 5 on PS3
X3:XTM and S.D.A.L.G.E.R mods, usually CoC. I have long saves I drop in and out of these days to keep shit fresh. Modern games aren't even interesting to the older generation now.
>TFW I played the leaked alpha of SoC back in the dayzzz
Too many hours wasted as a NEET making that run half decent. I love notepad. That Dead City with a sea of about 500 flesh...

Get Call of Chernobyl what the fuck are you doing user?!?! It's like CoP but 10000x better already.

>still play doom, duke3d, quake
>emulate NES-PS2 games
>absolutely no interest in last 2 gens
>pirate since forever
How autistic am I?

And this bothers you, why? If I've declared that my family's lineage ends with me due to hopelessness, who are you to butt in? I'll continue sucking whatever modicum of entertainment that I can from vidya until I inevitably expire from this world.

lol virgin faggot

reddit posting. you really need to fuck off go jerk off to peterson or something you fuckhead.

I don't play video games so I don't know.

Why the FUCK are you here EVER? You sound very important and busy. How do you manage to find time to come here? I wish I was important like you. Maybe one day we can all be like you.

>thinking that French from France is the same as French Canadian
>not knowing that France was the dominant power in Europe from Charlemagne to the Revolution

Yup Videogames are a waste of time but is a fun hobby

But the bad shit starts when you get addicted and you stop living your life replacing it with a virtual one

Shut up or talk about vidya

shitposting is very important.

Isn't Call of Chernobyl older? How is it better, unless mods?

>>Hey user's, learn self discipline, it's amazing! I can choose my own actions instead of being an impulsive slob!
>No shit buddy . . . ?

You have to understand how opiates work. If someone has self control, then they can save themselves. But that's usually not the case for a general population.
The Chinese COULD OF HAD self control and resisted the british opium. But it's addictive, and they fell prey to it.
I don't think we can societal problems by just telling everyone to have self control. Same story with meth and cocaine in america. The CIA spreads it, and controls populations.

There's been too many sick releases since 2009. I could play through Dark Souls 1000 times!

But jobs are for lemmings and women are all whores. I'm content with my realdoll and video games while living in my parent's basement. I'm 47 by the way.

>>Are video games absorbing male testosterone

The modern world killed the frontier both spiritually and physically. If i were to go galavanting about i'd likely get in trouble for hurting someones fee fees.

Fuck the modern world, i laugh whenever there is a crisis and people are hurt or killed.

For a male citizen in an advanced, 1st world society, there isn't much adventure. There's no war. There's no exploration. There's no conquering. That's why young mean appeal go video games, in my opinion. It's to provide what life in a civilized 1st world nation can't.

I mean, lol, it's go to your office job or escape into a fantasy adventure of war, killing, etc.

There's healthy and unhealthy gaming.

Everyone has difference interest, meaning not everyone cares about banging bitches, accomplishing things, appeasing others, making money, etc. Some just want to game out, jack off, stay up late, sleep all day, and eat junk food.

On the money!

vidya is the sole reason my English skills are lightyears ahead from my peers'. I think in 2 languages because of them. Video games have been crucial to my development and I'm grateful I had them.

I'm too depressed for that
Show sympathy for me in the form of shekels, goy

Can I see your realdoll's tits with timestamp?
Thx

I didnt play games through out HS. I fucked around and had fun and partied. Ive never been burned by manipulative cunts. I moved to the city from the country and started playing games again and got internet connection. Although Im not a gamer in the sense that I keep up todate and play all these new games. I play Gran Turismo 6 on ps3, and I got a baseline ps4 this july so |I can play Gran Turismo Sport and NASCAR . I like racing with people online and usually just play to shoot the shit with a scottish friend whos paralyzed so I like to keep him company so hes not lonely.

>those replies
pissy neets will defend their worthless existence so hard. I do not get it.

Uh no only I may gaze upon sophie's plastic breasts.

No, that's shadow of Chernobyl. Call of Chernobyl is a standalone encompassing all the maps from all games, faction selection, optional story mode, infinite replayability and so many mods you can't possibly have the SSD capacity (but you will make it). And lots of shiny GFX options, etc etc just get to moddb for it now already. I promise you'll love it. Latest is 1.5, previous version has more mods for now until mod authors update. Still a good few mind you. I'm checking it out! Also 64bit soon, stalker..
>t. Tejas

>the age old "STOP PLAYIN VIDYA LOSER" scare tactic
Honestly shut the fuck up

I don't care if you get it or not ;)

also, this is the sort of propaganda that white males subject themselves too. The most ironic part is that it isn't jews doing this, it's whites.

>no left
>no right
>only the game

yes, let us all encourage each other to ignore that tornado outside. Stop bringing it up and focus on hardcore gaming

youtube.com/watch?v=vaYKOQWooaU

just go to twitch and look at most producers. Usually angry, 'toxic' (normal) males who are competitive.

at least contain your retarded ideas within your own head

maybe some people have a chance to succeed at the things you failed in

maybe you should have killed yourself 20 years ago

Good post

no, porn is

Literally doing things is actually the best help there buddy. Been there done that. Do some IRL shit, start small but first of all, tidy up your room.

>wahhhhhh

video games ruined my life

I wasted ten years trying to get this one item I wanted, and when I got it, I felt nothing, it didn't feel like an accomplishment at all, ten fucking years to get a shiny hat

I never really looked at myself clearly in a mirror and noticed, I'm old. I've wasted my life. Now I just come on Sup Forums to bicker about how fucking shitty my life is.

Gift4u desu~

Yes
People who go to prison have more testosterone because they're constantly under threat. Fight and flight situations change the hormones in the body, as does being domesticated and playing video games

>dota instead? Because at least in games, things feel fair. You feel in control. So of course you choose it over the real world
>things feel fair. You feel in control

I think what you're raising is a valid point user, but games are only as bad and addictive as the person playing them will allow. I spent thousands of hours on them in my early 20s, but if you wisen up and make gym and stuff the main priority there's literally nothing wrong with sitting down at the end of the day and being a buff dude having a fap over Buddy the dog in DoS 2

I don't care if you think video games are pointless, I'm going to keep playing video games and there's nothing you can say or do to stop me.

>YOU NEED TO BE OBSESSED WITH POLITICS AND WORK 24/7

ummm no thanks jew

>Why try to fight the marxist machine controlled by jews when you rage at dota instead?
Well, if vidya didn't exist, people wouldn't just default back to thinking at the societal level.
People are corralled into lines of thinking that fall along things like their occupation, their hobbies, etc.
And it's done from a young age too with all the marketing and kids toys.
Removing vidya wouldn't switch these people back magically, they would just pursue another trite interest or engage in a new hobby, most likely they'd go back to sports, TV, or most likely social media.
Thinking at the societal level takes a unique mindset where one craves information and typically entertains discussion about abstract ideas, rather than shit people are talking about right now or whatever social event is happening soon.
To wrap things up, the pool of people in your ideal line of thinking is always going to be small no matter what due to consumerism.
>If you have children (and you should have children) then limit their time with electronics.
Now you're switching it to electronics in general? You've got a creeping scope on your argument.
As well, the bit urging someone to have children really detracts thoughts from both other points.
Basically, you could potentially be challenging your audience's norms on three different matters: vidya, electronics, and child-rearing, depending on the background of the person reading.
Not very to the point.

>tl;dr
You probably have a good talking point.
However, it sounds like you haven't thought about it a whole lot.
It's kind of meandering and you could perhaps do with some statistics or info from a scholarly source.

4/10

He's from rebbit faggot, clearly

Nah mate, games are popular for the exact same fukken reason that chess or any other game ever made is played. Everyone has a certain level of free time on their hands. Vidya is nothing special in that sense. The only people who obsess over it are the kind who already aren't going to do shit. It's just the same behavior that creates the same infantile BS as libshits that obsess over Harry Potter. Don't overthink it.

>"gamers"

i flip shit coins and masturbate to neko lolis in compromissing positions

i have neither friends nor a job and i never had sex
im just a rich guy sitting in his appartment playing lol, cs go w/e when not masturbating...

pretty awesome live i have desu sempai

>jewish-brainwashed slave calls others jews
We get it, you are only on Sup Forums because you're a lonely, unmotivated sack of shit and this is the only place you can delude yourself into thinking you're welcome

>ban assault videogames

It better be full of spooks and scares user. It'll be nice to start fresh anyways. I was playing CoP today and went like 45 minutes without reaching a save point and died to a fire anomaly when I fell through the floor.

The only reason I'm even thinking of quitting vidya now is because I grew up on the classics and modern games are such awful piles of normie-friendly garbage I can't even stand them anymore.

OP probably just got shit on in cs by people genetically better than him, i play video games, sports and im a computer engineer. eat shit faggot

Get back to work, jew slave

>muh testosterone
>muh masculinity
>muh manhood

Stop taking Sup Forums so seriously you faggot. You really believe everything you read here, don't you?

>reaction face

REACTION FACE POSTERS ARE NOT PEOPLE

you have no identity and project yourself onto some jewish idol

also you have no point whatsoever, you are talking pure nonsense, this is addressed to people who have a problem with playing games too much, so if they transition out of that they have established the will to resist and won't fall into those other things

Just another brainless addict sack of shit who can't even admit the most basic fact of what you are, giving itself credit for a refutation when its perspective is totally warped and its arguments are insane

It's pretty intense now the underground is populated. I'd recommend de-restricting a-life if you have the CPU power/know how to in be config's. There's a mod that does it I think also... I just make it insane, because I miss Oblivion Lost. (A very good mod).

Mate those deaths are the worst. I had a game where I ran around bleeding for half an hour, using medkits to stay alive, killing stalkers hoping they had a bandage...

I failed. Such is life in the zone.

>Meme
MEMES ARE NOT PEOPLE

lmao nigger you know nothing about the fluoride in the water supply
nothing about estrogen and all the products you ingest it from
nothing about how fatherhood and the nuclear family unit is being destroyed

this is my point about all the gayming apologists in this thread here. Games are just games, but people are using them as permanent distractions from real-world problems. All the people around me that I see playing video games are always trying avoid anything serious, political or not.
Just keep perpetuating that zombie stupor they're in so that they'll never get mad and try to fix shit.

like this worthless leaf postInstead of solving problems and creating relationships in the leafland, he spends all his time bragging about how white people are better at counter skins: global microtransactions.

I don't play video games because I'm too depressed to even do that.

Outside of school and work all I do is watch YouTube and browse Sup Forums, learning useless shit abou history, politics and literature, while I neglect my studies and hobbies that I do desperately want to improve.

My wrist is fucked up from an injury, I had surgery but it didn't heal right, the pain keeps me awake at night, hurts when literally doing anything and school/work amplifies it to extreme measures.
My parents got divorced and my Dad is dating the woman he cheated on my mom with up until this point and my mom keeps going back to this abusive boyfriend despite him "hitting her"(no mark) and coming to my apartment, calling the police and ruining what little time I had to study.

Also I have to kneel to do my job and bike to school because it saves money I don't have(I pay all my bills and have student loans) and both my knees have had patellar tendinitis for years so now my every day is filled with utter unyeilding agony while my mom also attempts to fill me with gmo junk food and I eat it cause there's nothing else(b/c I can't afford it) so I constantly feel like shit. This proves she could help me but chooses not to because she would rather have fun shopping for food that I constantly refuse while hinting at a little fucking surgery every now and then.

Plus my older brother has schizophrenia and arthritis and just shows up every now and then needing a place to say while simultaneously threatening my life in his altered mental state. And my only friends were fucking nigger tier faggots who laughed in my face about this kind of stuff and constantly brought up "muh dik" "muh height" so I just dropped them and gave up on humanity all together.

Fuck boomers for wasting all our resources on minorities and giving women power they don't deserve.

I'm burning with all these emotions and have no outlet, I just sit here like a rock every day, regretting the past
