At what age should one quit gaming for good? I don't want to be that creepy guy who is 30+ and still watches movies by himself or the 20+ guy that still drinks soda.

you should just have a nice day
world doesn't need you anymore
not that it ever did
Ideally immediately
Nobody should play video games
Tell me the purpose of this thread is for this reaction that I am giving you?

>that 30+ year old boomer that still posts on a Mongolian throat singing discussion board
It should be natural. You should be sitting there one day and realize "this is a waste of time. Even in my leisure time I could be doing something more gratifying and rewarding than this". And then you'll quit.
How can I make it come naturally then?
go be a more realized person. I dunno, I'm on a underwater basket weaving forum
You don't feel it? I enjoy playing once in a while but I can physically feel the waste of time, it's like that meme about seeing your face on the monitor during the loading screen
There is nothing more childish than trying to stuff things into age categories and trying to seem grown up.
Now hand me my coloring book.
Make it slightly inconvenient and make a different intake for dopamine and a sense of accomplishment more convenient.
Put your games on a separate PC in an encrypted partition on a virtual machine or something.
You'll naturally drop it.
>Radio, TV, Games, shortform engagement-focused algorithmic content feeds
Games don't really feel like part of this bleak progression.
OP is a homosexual
around ~50? I work in construction and a bunch of my 30-40 year old coworkers play simulators, strategy and whatnot
>should
why "should" you do anything at all? by who's definition "should" you be doing stuff?
Anyone with an adult-like mind. Most anon's know video gamesis an aimless hobby.
>video gamesis an aimless hobby.
most hobbies are aimless
No not really. Learning to play any instrument, draw, woodcarve, skateboard, surf, act in a community thater play or musical are all things off the top of my head that are not aimless, have you working towards perfection of a craft, and meeting people in the real world. You're crazy if you would seriously maintain video games are less aimless than any of those.
An adult like mind is someone who takes his role as a man in the world seriously. In some respects, if you have to ask what that means, you'll never "get it". Hiding away in your room playing video games all day certainly isn't something ahigh functioning adult would do.
>Hiding away in your room playing video games all day certainly isn't something ahigh functioning adult would do.
but hiding away in your room all day drawing manga, playing a flute and carving wooden horses is something a high-functioning adult does?
Local rec centers have group woodcarving and drawing classes. There are community bands and orchestras where you rehearse together publicly. It's very different. Yes you practice flute or drawing in your room but that is to create something tangible for public enjoyment. Unless you would seriously maintain you grinding away at video games in your room is the same as a composer grinding away at a music composition in his?
If you aren't passionate about anything and just wallow away in obscurity playing video games, whatever. But at some point it should dawn on you what a waste of time video games are.
Yes, unironically. YOUR hobby should please the normies out there, you have to win their respect out of it, or else you're a social exile stain on this world and honestly is the correct thing to do, chud. Humanity has prospered because of this, and imprisoning and exiling the weirdos in order to improve and maintain the social fabric has always happened. See israelites for example
Never forget Ganker is full of failed normies. They act like they hate them but they'd give anything to be a normie in a normie friend geoup.
who are these normies I'm supposed to please? I play counter-strike with the same married lads that I go to barbeques with
Still, I don't find the incentive to participate in society. What society could offer me? A stable job? A family? Money? These are all meaningless in the end.
pessimistic nihilism is moronic.
Your life has no meaning, that leads you to have the beautiful ability to create your own meaning.
quit being a baby
What if I simply don't want to create meaning? I'm not a nihilist. I didn't even read Nietzsche yet.
Ah, an enlightened one. How much of your day would you say you spend meditating? I'm up to 16 hours myself.
I don't meditate. I just read, study programming and waste my time here on Ganker.
why do you study programming if you don't want a job?
But I want a job. I just don't see the point.
The point is you can't live off your parents forever
Pretty much the only point I can see.
Here's your (You).
So what?
I'm brown.
>I'm brown.
Yeah, I could tell
Then why would you ask for a picture of my hand?
>I'm brown.
>hates books
>hates people who read books
>can't understand hobbies
>can't understand doing anything for interest or fun
>craves money
>leaks jealousy of people from civilization and their ways
>is brown
I'm not the guy you think I am. Read the thread througly.
And in 100 years you will still be the same.
Ok.
take a shower, brush your teeth, and go outside
I already do this regularly, minus the going outside part. Then again I live in a literal slum, so there is no point in going outside where I live.
Ah, third worlder. Now it all makes sense. Maybe you can scare the local witchdoctor into believing you are possessed and he'll take care of your problems.
>Ah, third worlder. Now it all makes sense.
Its funny how the people from civilization can tell that they are 'international students' just from the fact they hate people who read books, crave money and find hobbies incomprehensible.
>I just read
You're ok with me.
reading is for women
>reading is for women
In your culture? Is it? Tell me primitive, what too hot place do you come from?
Post hand.
you sound like a genuinly pretentious and narcissitic homosexual
you don't want answers, you want to wallow in your own depression
I'm pretentious and narcisistic, yes.
>Still, I don't find the incentive to participate in society. What society could offer me? A stable job? A family? Money? These are all meaningless in the end.
You're pure brown though.
>An adult like mind is someone who takes his role as a man in the world seriously.
Oh boy, the Brazilians are here
>An adult like mind is someone who takes his role as a man in the world seriously
But i do. It's my choice as a man to seclude myself from this clown world. It simply doesn't deserve my effort. I don't want relationships, don't want kids, don't want any interactions with women. I'm content being alone and engrossed in my autistic daydreaming, fantasies and fantasy worlds. That's just how it is and i'm fine with it.
>Verification not required.
>an adult-like mind
The frick does that mean you fricking moron
for what purpose though? self betterment? wealth? ambition?
you and I go into the same dirt at the end of it all, if I am fulfilled and happy, why would I not just do as I please?
>or the 20+ guy that still drinks soda.
what's wrong with an occasional soda
>I don't want to be
Then just don't be you pathetic crying gay.
>Verification not required.
Games are just TV for our generation. Boomers had TV, we have Games. I much prefer being able to interact with something instead of just sitting there.
How do I make friends, bros? I'm on my third year at uni and I just can't talk to people. I see others talking about stuff I like and wanna talk about it too but I just shut myself in.
I've been doing this for 10 years and I'm tired.
a good onramp is to join things that force people to talk to each other, gaming tournament, cooking lesson, whatever.
worst case you make no friends but get some practice talking to people
best case you make a friend, there's no downside.
>too pathetic and weak willed to walk up to a peer group and join their conversation
Legit scares me that I share a board with losers like this.
And do what? Bingewatch slopshows and scroll on Tik-tok?
Give me a break. Vidya is still great and I'm passed 35. Your taste in vidya changes over the years but if you keep enjoying it, you shouldn't quit. I'm pretty diverse in what I do but most nights I still enjoy a couple of hours of vidya.
However, if you are 30+ and you still play fortnite or other shitty ""popular"" games, I don't know what to tell you.You are a grown man playing in the toddler sandbox.
No more Mr Nice Gaius!
giving a shit is an obvious sign youre a child still.
you are being a whining baby
just play games with your kids it's not that hard
it's not a waste anymore than watching a TV show is, just make sure you don't spend everyday all day doing that. I make time to game inbetween kids, working, lifting, and my hobby of metalworking and woodworking
>t.36. games with his wife, and currently has 1 kid and 1 toddler who I have play games with and sometimes she wants to watch me. Happiest time of my life
Always watch movies by yourself. Too hard to find people IRL who appreciate real kino
12 - 14
why would you give a single shit about "not wanting to look weird"
you've been looking weird already your whole life
>At what age should one quit gaming for good?
Never I'm 52 and love games and have since I started writing them in basic at 9. I have many hobbies and every man should. I suppose you respect me because I am combat decorated and killed people but not because I like to play rayman origins? Because I had a wife and child, now dead sadly but not because I played through doom 3 last week? because I have met artists, musicians and politicians from all over the world and traveled widely but not because I like to play old need for speed? |What do you consider 'suitable' for men in their late 20s? Booze, drugs and STDs? Murder? A motorbike accident and brain injury? The sign of being an adult is doing what you like and think is right, not trying to mimic others.
The Day of The Pillow is coming boomer
Good luck getting that pillow on my face kid, make sure you bring some of your dei frens for the numbers and don't forget a mobile safe space. While you studied the broccoli haircut as a youth I studied applied high explosives.
I can defeat you easily. I will simply climb a set of stairs.
>I can defeat you easily. I will simply climb a set of stairs.
Yes but to do that you will need to concentrate for several minutes and it is therefore impossible for a zomzom
At 23 you should have graduated to watching paint dry. The best paint to watch dry is the ones with powdered cobalt in it, it makes for a more efficient process.
What the frick are you even talking about? First you ask an age related question that can only be given an arbitrary answer and then you give your own arbitrary answers about two unrelated subjects - movies and drinking pop. You can’t even stay on your own topic.
Hobbies? What the frick do you have hobbies for? Your time is meant for making someone else money, not for screwing off. Get a job, wokie.
>Your time is meant for making someone else money, not for screwing off.
And when you have a lot of money little brown man? What then? You declare jihad on some people who read books or something? Do you people ever actually ever put the well in your village?
Stop giving a shit anon
