stop with the steve o threads

It's a diversion from the monotony of their daily lives.

why steve-o?

Because they have no ambitions or fathers to set goals in their live.

From what i remember the og steve o poster was sick of seeing trap threads

Why not?

Escapism is appealing, deep down everyone knows we're doomed.

Video games are pretty cool nigga

This but it depends on the vidya. Fallout and Dwarf Fortress are pretty good brah

Because austism loves Minecraft

Most of the fucks you guys think are millennials don't play any video games at all.

Could it be, because they're fun?
I dunno, maybe.

Life sucks is why

...

I've stopped all video games except victoria 2

How can one game be so based?

22 here ps4 doesn't have any fun games and I'm tired of bf4 so only watch Netflix now

Why are you so obsessed with Steve O?

>it's another steve-o thread

Escapism, same as tv. People will find someway to sit on there asses and do nothing, it's just matter of how far out from the real world you get. Eventually im sure we will end up like the population of Wall-e

It's the only place left we can achieve and compete with other men largely unhindered.

It's to escape the woes of the real world and enter one of grandiose adventure and heroism

>Why do Millennials play video games so much?
like any game they're meant for fun. people like to do fun things. don't you have any things you like to do for fun?

Poor bam

i dont know

Because real life is boring as fuck, i'm a manlet, girls don't interest me besides the potential of having a family (but that is looking bleak). Getting a job would be great but i can't feel satisfaction from work if i'm only supporting myself.

I feel that no one in my community including me has a sense of unity or belonging. My country has little relevance.

To sum it up; I feel dissatisfied by how weak western values and culture is and how unimportant i feel to my country.

I wish i could vent out my frustrations by propagating my beliefs and values and ruthlessly killing dissenters.

Hey wait......

Because custom maid 3d 2 is a hot fucking game.

Because they are fun and easy to learn, at least most of them. And if they offer a learning curve its even more fun to dwell time into it to get better.

The problem is you don't get any real world benefits. its a time waster at best (inb4 BUT U GET BETTER EYE-HAND COORDINATION etc.). Its not like another hobby or sport where you actually learn a skill and can profit of it somehow in the world. sports = physically fit/attractive/social. arts = use brain, shape ur identity, sell it perhaps, teach others.

from games you wont get fit. and for anyone saying youll get rich from gaming, no its a fucking meme and only if you act like an autismo to attract 12-20 year old autismos you will get a big enough following. And your chances to get anywhere with pro gaming are rather abysmal.

To finish the question, millenials stay at home on pc because they cant socialize well and are lazy. and the most accesible thing on pc to waste time for them is either to watch porn/series,weebshit or games.

I was born in 1996. I've been playing video games for my entire life. I practiced addition by watching the point totals add up in Super Mario World. I spend, and have spent, most of my time playing video games. It isn't for some cheap thrill or for competition. Good games introduce concepts and ways of life to you. No matter how fictional and ridiculous a game's story can be, a person wrote it. Their beliefs about what constitutes normalcy, their ideas about what values their characters should have, and their beliefs about what message needs to be sent is, regardless of their skill, a culmination of their entire lives. Video games are almost harrowing because of this. It's like cheating. You have infinitely many perspectives thrown at you constantly and, every now and then, you're exposed to a genuinely compelling work of art. Then when some arbitrary task forces you to dwell around this amazing display, you eventually can't help but contemplate. You become detached from the real world, it's true, but you become acutely aware of the fact that the developers of the games you're playing will go to their graves utterly fixated on those few unique paradigms that they inserted into their games. It's almost unfair that you're given such a wealth of information from a simple game. It's a pool of resources that's too great to ever be wielded properly. That's why I'm never going to stop.
