How do we stop this ?

Nothing

Make IRL less shit

Gas every gamer

This.

>losing

what does that even mean? vidya games are fun. Also, blacks play em too. If I never played 400 hours of Spyro as a kid, I wouldn't be the man i am today

or you could stop being shit at real life so you won't have to hide in shitty pixel worlds like a helpless bitch.

Teach women to stop being whores and men to stop being women.

just make advance VR tech so they kill themselves by starvation in VR mmos

Those who don't grow out of it by their mid-teens are lost for good.

the world is pretty treacherous right now. opioids are everywhere. better for men to stay indoors and play video games than be exposed to that shit.

keep making games with shit gameplay but good graphics

I don't want to watch a fucking movie, it's got me playing chess

Why did you add "white" to the title?

>Working for a pension that will go bankrupt
>Paying income taxes for things I don't want and don't use
>Slaving my best years to a company that only cares about the lowest bidder.
>Going after girls that just want to ride as much dick as they can before they have to 'settle'
>Getting married and then divorced so I lose half of my stuff
>Raising another generation of debt slaves.

Thanks but no thanks.

>We're losing a whole generation of young white men to video games
They will eventually get bored and get a job.
Been there done that, still gaming a little.
I used to game 15 hours+ a day for a long time.

Would sign up the next day

I don't play vidya, faggot. IRL shit, like anti-white sentiment in academia or the media is's the reason why the youth are turning to it. Pure escapism.

>get up
>go to work
>go to gym
>come home to my basement apartment and read.
>fall asleep and repeat

I hate video games but I can understand why people become attached to them.

More women for me lmao

Until you fucked with their games too. Now they're into politics

Fix society, and give these men a role in fixing it.

This whole epidemic is literally because the Western man, at birth, is taught nothing but about how evil he is and how unwanted he is by society. Whiteness is evil, being a man is bad, and nobody wants you.

So what do they do? They retreat to a world that actually cares about them. If you want to stop this, convince them that he has meaning in this world, and that he will be more fulfilled contributing to society rather than living in a bubble.

t. former video game addict

i remember checking my stats pokemon blue on gameboy when i was 10 years old and seeing that i had played it for 97 hours and feeling like a complete piece of worthless shit for wasting that much time on a game... fast forward 12 years i had probably put in almost 300 full days gametime on wow by the time mists of pandaria came out.

6 years after that i am directionless, lonely, unable to meet people, no motivation to improve myself and no higher calling. i have a decent and well paying career in spite of dropping out of college, but i am not even capable of playing video games of any sort anymore, i just get bored so quickly. i would give anything for the consuming ecstasy i felt in my early rtcw or quake teams or my first few months of wow raiding/pvp but i can't even log into the menu of a game without feeling completely put off... occasionally i'll play cs;go after getting plastered but it's not the same.

i was obviously destined to be an antisocial nerd without a spine or self discipline, but i might have at least been able to overcome that and make something of myself if i didn't spend all of my free time from 13-25 on videogames.

u r dumb

just tell us how to unlock the mode to let us play as Nazis

FOR FUCKS SKAE

read the article, butthead

Not really, if you feel you have a stake in a society, you actively contribute; If you are alienated, you retreat into escapism. FFS, what demographic do you think is afflicted by this blight disproportionately? Young whites or shitskins?

Do you have any idea how boring most jobs are? I'm counting down the minutes until I can go home and play video games.

It's not a problem unique to white men. They have the same issue in Asia.

Do what William Pierce wanted and all will be well.

>tfw 27yo living at home with parents, I’m also unemployed
>playing pubg 16 hours a day
>no friends, no gf
>feel happy not to be a wagecuck

I think it's because their society offers them very little besides being a drone. A third of Japanese males are virgins. I suspect it's linked.

Build a society that is more attractive than video games
We're just at a cross roads of men choosing to play games etc or building that better society

is this yank education?

TERRIFIED JEWS AND ROASTIES SCREECH OUT IN DESPERATION AS ALL THEIR PLANS GO DOWN THE DRAIN

Put young men into such grinding poverty without a social safety net they will either have to work or starve to death.

Raid EA games and Activision.

It depends on the game. Online multiplayer games tend to be pointless, poorly developed and poorly moderated cashgrabs/timesinks, whereas a very well-done single player game can serve a similar purpose to reading a fiction book. For example, the Witcher series.

Our society doesn't offer anything better. Point is that is has nothing to do with white guilt if it's happening in racially homogenous Asian countries.

Honestly unless you're making big bucks then there's really very little incentive to get out into the workforce. You'll just be doing menial tasks for shit pay. Might as well just play vidya. At least that's entertaining.

The best gamers find the best game is irl and they level up

In the real world you will never slay dragons, fight aliens, or paricapate in battle royales. You can be as successful as you want, but if you personally are not satisfied with what the real world is, then what stops you or anyone from escaping to a world that esentially provides them the thrill they want? How does the real world compete with a world that mirrors it but the only difference is you can cast spells?
Not everyone can be successful, and not everyone is convinced by the "be the best you to be successful." As long as people are limited by the world, the simple escape of video games or any entertainment will attract a great deal of people, because our world does not allow us to explore the cosmos or slay mighty beasts.

you need a good sense of balance like in anything. The more time you spend gaming, the less time you have to be productive in other areas of life, such as doing your schoolwork, or fucking girls

>the only difference
Go hike a mountain and tell me any game has a realer stamina meter, faggot.

Turn them into white nationalists instead

You have to be 18+ to post here.

Fucking girls is fun and all but I wouldn't call it productive.

Video games are for faggots. So is weed. Anyone who does either of those deserves the consequences that follow

Article is a lie.
No one plays Civ VI, it's shit

Also, our parents just sat around watching TV and our Grandparents just sat around listening to the radio.

Nothings changed. It's just more interactive.
The problem isn't necessarily vidya, it's the casino DLC/Loot crate system, the endless grinding addiction and the lack of testosterone and getting laid.

I think that's the issue - the demoralisation and lack of incentive afflicting the young. Whether it's the bleak Asian future of growing up to be a soulless drone in their ant farm countries, or the demoralisation encountered by young whites in the face of the demographic trends/anti-white male dogma in academia and media, the youth turn to escapism and atrophy.

weed + vidya = manchild

if you don't give a shit, you do whatever you want, like play vidya.
Quit telling us what to do, nerd

Its more like we are taught that nothing matters so go get a degree, married if you want and live the grind.

The only way to piss off the jew is to not pay for his shitskins and get loans or to pick up being a nationalists and telling global kikes to fuck off.

There is an effort to destroy the integrity of video games because most of the old ones used to be very redpilled like Deus Ex, Metal Gear, Ninja Gaiden, I mean even recent games like skyrim basically present what would now be considered as an "alt right philosophy" as perfectly reasonable and normal to have.

What do you do for fun? Bible study?

escapism/cynicism = extinction

I've spent my entire adult life trying to function like a normal adjusted human being, or at least how people told me - dress nice, go to the gym, go to school... I feel like I've succeeded in putting on that show, but I don't feel fulfilled. Every day I yearn for the ability to drop everything and return to how I used to live. I was under the impression that it became easier for people to act a certain way if they keep up with it, like the advice to keep talking to people if you feel timid.

Is it in my nature? Was my behavior in my teen years not a mistake and my destiny? Am I destined to buy a house in the woods and live a ascetic video game fueled lifestyle?

The big question that I have is whether or not it's a recent phenomenon. It's hard to think of something like an equivalent of video game addiction being prevalent in post-war America. If it is nature, then how did they express their addiction without going down the hole? If it is nuture, is it going to be a consistent uphill battle? Why even try?

>Addiction is harmful
Fascinating article. Seriously though: videogame/internet addiction is on the same level as substance addiction and should be treated as such.

Can you seriously not imagine a life without doing drugs and playing video games?

No need to be mad really, we are the first generation in the history of the world that has the leisure to just SIT there and play vidya, eat doritos, jerk off and watch the world burn.

All of human history was for us, a reality show for us to watch while eating sour patch kids.

fuck off cunt, we're all cisgender patriarchal racist sexist scum, you can figure it out without us. fucking bitches.

>WHY ISNT THIS GENERATION BREAKING THEIR BACKS TO PAY OUR CHILD SUPPORT AND ALIMONEY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What's wrong with that? I thought the black women had it all covered?

I mean you can live a life of celibacy too if you want but why would you deny yourself pleasure?

If you wanna be a monk go for it. Just don't impose your lifestyle on the rest of us.

Ah I see. You must be a pot smoker, such indigence when your "hobby" is called into question. Also the incredible stupidity with which you create the most moronic dichotomies!

>a fucking leaf

Only soyboys play these anymore.

on one of the handful of joe rogan shows i have listened to he would mention that in the mid 90s he would play quake 1 online for 12 hours straight every night, my dad got caught up in myst for a few months when i was really young and college students would play that game like people played wow 10 years ago, video games seem to be excellent vectors for acute time wasting... it's not a new phenomenon but it's only recently that it's taking in a large proportion of a particular demographic.

it's not the same as vegging out watching TV or radio or fantasy novels, when the right candidates find themselves in an addictive video game environment they can and often will shun the entire world around them to pursue either some sort of specific goal or mindless stimulation in an interactive digital world.

I play video games. I put in like 2-3 hours a night. Still have time for working out and reading up on other shit. I work a 9-5. Games are fun. Woman on the other hand... im in my 30's and have upped my standard for woman while they seem to think having a puss and tits is enough.

Most woman are really dumb. A lot are disgusting slobs (fat, unhealthy, crazy). Im looking for a match but i am very picky since I have kept my value going up so I wont settle for shit.

>"wut how can u not do weed and video games wtf is wrong with you do u just watch paint dry?"
This is your average "gamer" brain. It would be funny if it were not so prevalent in these modern times

You make the joke. But who would know better?

Video games are for children and adult weirdos.

Answer the question. What do you do for entertainment?

He's right dude. All things in moderation. Just because you play video games, like drugs, or like getting laid doesn't make you some sort of horrible hedonist burnout.

I played WoW hardcore for about 4 years from 2012 to 2016 and I don't think anything prepared me better for the world of work than farming vanity items, no matter what mundane, monotonous shit work throws at me, it pales in comparison to some of my farm sessions on the Timeless Isle.

I lose more time shitposting here then playing vidya.

ultra porn

I don't think he's telling you that 'you need to like weed and vidya or you're a loser'. You're the one making judgments.

I have over 1k hours in Ark-Survival. Somehow taming a giant fucking dinosaur, then riding it down to the beach and eating newbies will never ever get old.

Give me a real life Dinosaur, and i'll rejoin society, until then, go fuck yourselves.

I like to go outside. Fishing, kayak/canoeing, swimming, camping, hiking, snowshoeing. I also like things that would be considered as work such as home maintenance, gardening, cutting & splitting my firewood. I know your deprived mind cannot understand that I can take enjoyment in these things but I do and I feel sorry for all the young men who have never done a single one of these things in their life and never will because they take a bong hit and exhale an excuse

>nypost

Fuck off faggot

GTGCWN!

>Do you have any idea how boring most jobs are

Hmm...what?..explain please

I love how they say this like its a bad thing.
Meanwhile...

What the fuck is their problem with white men escaping from reality using their chosen medium?
Its almost like white guys are the backbone of society and if they get distracted from working no-one will be around to make the money

It’s too late.

Once women got voting rights and alimony and child support laws, as well as abortion on demand, western civilization’s fate was sealed.

Men no longer have the drive to work hard and earn resources because of what women have become and the legal power they wield over men.

The damage is irreversible at this point.

The west has 50-100 years left before civil conflict neutralizes it.

Pretty sure this is how Rule Brittania became Muhammed's Rape Caliphate.

Vidya is baaad, it's wasting time!

>my time, waste it any way I want.

Real time-wasters nowdays are shittty Facebook and Twitter, but no, lets start shitting on videogames.

Tyrone’s baby is so cute, damn

>leaf can't multitask
I've done all the things you list (except snowshoe, but I'd like to), and many of my outdoorsy friends will take a toke now and then. Hell, we used to pack a joint in our drybags and smoke out halfway down the river.
I don't indulge anymore, just kinda grew out of it, but I still don't see the harm. Yeah, if you smoke out and never leave the couch, that's one thing, but we used to like catching a buzz and then going and DOING shit.

I can't believe so many of you faggots are actually defending video games here. Go accomplish something for yourself, no one else, for you own sake. Video games are an absolute waste of only your own time, go do something instead of making excuses.

I don't even smoke pot. Haven't in years. I like outdoorsy things too but I live in a big city so I don't get to partake in them as often as I'd like.

Care to explain what's wrong with me playing vidya for a few hours after work to unwind?

That’s what I think will happen if people keep on getting addicted to video games, society will inevitably collapse and as you said, you’ll have to work to survive.

Generation Zyklon incoming.

>Yeah, if you smoke out and never leave the couch, that's one thing
My problem is every around my age (20s + 30s) who is a regular pot smoker is a lazy shit head who doesn't ever leave the house or do anything outside of play video games or watch tv. This shit is worse that heroin because the general populace at least knows heroin is bad.

...

Last video game I played was GTA San Andreas. The only ones I wish I could play now are the two south park ones

Video games are a symptom. The modern world sickens me and I've watched everything just get worse and worse. Give me something tangible and satisfying to strive for and I'll give a fuck again. Nothing doing? I'll continue quietly drinking myself to death and living in dreamland.

You shut the fuck up you ungrateful fucks, this whole uprising wouldn't have been possible without us gaymers, settle the fuck down.

>Care to explain what's wrong with me playing vidya for a few hours after work to unwind?
Yes, you gain nothing for yourself. I don't get anything if you get off you ass but you do. No one is stopping anyone from doing anything except a poor attitude and lazy mindset

I guess I just think that there are all kinds of escapism, and video games are pretty harmless unless you're addicted.
Some people do vidya, some lose themselves in fiction, some in social media, Netflix bingers, etc. Some spend all their free time fishing, praying, or prepping for the end of the world.
We could say that all these things are wastes of time, but if that's what you're into...

>same article posted for the 100000th time.
>same thread posted three times a day.

You shitbags are dumber than a bag of hammers.

Ivan here is right. historical games also teach you a bit of interesting things which is far more productive than many alternative activities

holy shit the hypocrisy of anyone going after video games when social media cancer has spread into every pore of existence is grating

if you want to ban shit for the betterment of mankind, ban ALL social media platforms FOREVER or at the very least make it so you have to be 21+ to have a social media account and fine the parents extreme amounts of money (like 100 times their monthly income) if they let their kids on despite this restriction; after a few examples, the plebs will get the fucking message
