I use videogames to bond with my sister, so it's the opposite
That's sweet
c-cute
oops, wrong file
I hate tendies so much it's unreal.
Why the piss are Ganker webms and pics loading so slowly both on desktop and mobile WTF
Shit, im not the only one? I thought i had to start doing a clean up
Seems like asiaticmoot fricked something up again
>block apex of cringe with a homosexual's neck
Literally everyone taking vertical videos is mentally challenged. NO EXCEPTIONS.
What is healthy? Dying at war?
No, having sex regularly and collecting stds is healthy bro
Based anon, They hated him because he spoke the truth.
Also going to the pub, getting shitfaced and picking fights and busting your head on asphalt is also quite healthy and social, lmao.
>hehe its ok i waste my life on video games because [extreme hypothetically situation that doesn't happened often]
What hobby isn't a waste of time exactly?
being Johm Carmack and having a hobby rocket propulsion hobby company
Exercising is healthy, going outside is healthy, making better relationships with your family/friends/community is healthy
Whats stopping me from doing these things AND playing video games?
You tell me, whats stopping you
Nothing. Thats why I do all of those things. Still don't have a girlfriend though.
Ganker I’m assuming
exercising for more than a few hours per week is unhealthy.
going outside... what? like all day? and do what exactly?
making better relationships... they are good as is, why do i need to make them better?
Your body only lets you exercise so much. What is there to do outside? You don't even know where I love. There's nothing except other people's property.
>community
>in current year
>community
israelites saw to it that no such thing is allowed in western countries, unless they community is an implicit or explicit suicide cult, unless you're brown of course
having friends and seeing them regularly. having someone you love and who loves you back. eating balanced meals. exercising. enjoying real artistic hobbies such as literature, theatre and art music.
real life isn't healthy
Good.
>It's not healthy.
Dumb homosexual OP shut your b***h ass up
I choose to escape.
The only times I've felt positive emotions or any emotional connection to another person was in fiction.
Real people and the real world has only ever brought me pain. I think it's unhealthy to force yourself to be in a place you're not wanted surrounded by people who actively dislike you and take pleasure in tormenting you.
You want me to focus on my real life. To make myself more presentable. To contribute more to society. To put more resources into making others happy. To sacrifice my own selfish short term gratification to add to the foundation which props up the future of our people.
The mistake you're making is that I have no people. I'm not part of your society. I've been around for many years and it has been made painfully clear to me that I'm not wanted. And the feeling is mutual. I'm not a duck, but I'm not a swan either, I'm like a dodo - something of which nothing else exists. Escapism is my way of feeling like they do.
>NOOO STOP BEING HAPPY
No, cuck, I shall not.
you aren't genuinely happy though, you are just getting some dopamine hits from flashing lights and seeing numbers go up
What would make him happy? Being someone he isn't, getting a job he can't do, meeting a girl that doesn't exist and having nowhere to live by his own rules?
cynicism wont make you happy champ
It's no cynicism, it's reality for someone who isn't a normalgay, tourist.
You can change your reality but you suffer from arrested development
You can't turn ducks into swans. All you can do is lie about who you are in a sad effort to try to fit in to a group you don't belong to. People aren't created with a purpose; your parents don't choose your genes and your mother's womb doesn't know what the rest of the world will look like when you grow up. Reproduction is all about throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. Some people don't.
If a monkey can evolve to a human then a duck can become a swan
Yeah and that evolution happens through disparate reproduction. Some monkeys didn't reproduce. That's literally what I just said, dork.
Monkeys don't do that anymore
>fake happiness is when your brain releases dopamine after doing something
>real happiness is when your brain releases dopamine after doing something socially acceptable
Real happiness is something that lasts longer than seeing a number go up, like love from someone special to you
I wouldn't know.
well just keep trying
But I enjoy that number, I think about it with fondness about my achievement. The best part of that number is that it is ever pure with no chance of me feeling betrayed by it and then ruining all thoughts of the subject unlike a Lover
I promise in 20 years you won't remember when you went from level 34 to level 35 in World of Warcraft
One of my happiest moments in life was when i beat Zelda ALttP as a kid, i felt so accomplished and went to tell my parents l, whp just scolded me for not being rreadycto go out yet to a little restaurant so they could meet their friends. So they turn off the SNES and told me to hurry.
I wasnt even able to see the credits until i beat the game again the other day...
Why couldn't you just boot up the save file again, beat ganon again and watch the credits after the restaurant?
Sorry for the late reply, was doing something else
It was too late by then and my parents told me to go to bed.
maybe not, but I will remember in 20 years killing the strongest boss solo and feeling pride over how much I struggled and got better at it. I still vividly remember when I finally killed Ebrietas in BB and that was 7 years ago
instructions unclear, fell in love but then one day love packed up and left and the number in bank account went down by 50%
What is with the constant false dichotomy in this thread anyway? You can have this and play video games. You can have everything deemed successful and play video games.
Why would you? If you had access to wealth that allowed you your own jet and epstein island would you really spend time collecting digital items? I don't think I would.
A jet? The standards for not being miserable to you people is fricking insane.
you are so fricking stupid its insane
> No! You aren't happy!
> Let me, a total stranger, lecture you at length about all the deficiencies in your psyche which I, as an outspoken and anonymous butthole on the internet, would naturally have a comprehensive understanding of and ability to diagnose.
>point out the obvious
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CANT DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO KNOW MY BACKSTORY FIRST
This. Many of us work hard just to survive. I''m so sorry that a little escapism is now bad.
>writest escapist shit
>defends it
WHOA REALLY. What a shit comparison too, the soldier's escape is REAL, escapism is just cowardice with a fatal end.
Do you not see the comedy of saying a WW1 vet doesn't understand a soldier's escapism
I don't even usually care about muh troops but this is a whole other level of stupid
kek, anon btfo
>children's book author fanboy doesn't know the difference between escape and escapism
LMAO, do keep reading drivel by a coward who got trench fever a week into his brave battles
yeah brother, we know from call of duty what REAL soldiers go through, unlike tolkien who only fought in one war
>uses picture of a literal illusion to ostracize escapism
this guy
>cowardice with a fatal end.
Tolkien went to war, you didn't.
>ukraine flag profile tier reading comprehension
Maybe if you ever grow up and learn how to read you should attempt to read a proper fantasy book written as inspiration, not escapist drivel
Tolkien went to war for a country that now hates him and shelters orcs.
Tolkien was at the fricking Somme
Tens of thousands of soldiers died there every single week
You have convinced me. I'm going to enlist right now so i can die for israel
So are books. is reading books bad
Yes, and so is writing.
No, escapism and by extension video games are the happiness that is obtainable
My family and friends all work and have basically no free time. The few friends I had who had any gaming was their primary hobby.
what is healthy?
we all end up as nameless skeletons
Escapism is required when life doesn't give you a chance to achieve worthy goals
Best a man can do these days is earning slightly more than the average and then he can rent a slightly bigger place to live at. Or he could 'buy' something by taking out a mortgage that's more expensive than the rent and will last until he's far past retirement age
Unless you're suggesting a rebellion against the banks and their owners, escapism is here to stay and it is arguably a positive
Back to work goyim, Mr. Shekelberg needs his stuff.
why not use the money to buy land in the woods and live independently?
Rec me good games for escapism.
>no Marie
You can't just label fricking everything fun escapism.
Not all entertainment is escapism.
It is when you do it every single day for 4+ hours
No, it's not. It's just called fricking doing something.
Yeah smoking meth is also just doing something I suppose
Of course it's a Black person with meth on his mind at all times.
Video games have similar effects to meth
Didn't ask your addictions, Black person.
How can you ask an addiction?
What the hell do you do in your free time? frick around in the woods for hours?
he has no free time clearly
I presume working most of the time. You know, being a wage slave and whatnot.
Uh, considering reality is dogshit and the rules completely suck, including but the inevitability of death, needing food to live, and human relationships being boring dogshit fraught with strife, it's absolutely healthy. It's either that or suicide. Earth is fricking gay
Literally nothing wrong with escapism as long as it doesn't take over your life
>escapism bad!
>expecting picrel to happen
but you know it wont
I despise the word escapism and its use by fart sniffing morons. I despise everything surrounding this topic because every moronic piece of shit replying in this thread accepts the dumb premise, instead of refuting the very use of the word escapism. They try to instead double down and "own" it like a fricking 12 year old on a playground. "ESCAPISM GOOD," the moron will reply, instead of telling pieces of shit calling every hobby escapism to frick off. Spending time doing something you love isn't escapism. It's called being a normal damn human. Every single person that's ever existed in history has done this.
Not everyone has a miserable life like you they need to escape from. Engaging with something you enjoy isn't escapism, it's just called having fun, something the homosexuals who make posts like this can't understand. It's only escapism when the one being accuse of engaging in it is neglecting or trying to ignore actual, real, serious issues. The quote in question, it's referring to a fricking cripple pretending that he's not a cripple by propping up a fictional world at expense of the real world. It's literally escaping his own disability, into a different world, while trying to erase reality. If the same character was sitting around, reading a fricking book, no one would call that escapism. If he was playing a video game, no one would call that escapism. That's just the kid living his life, doing his best to have fun with whatever means are available to him.
This entire
>ughhh all media is escapism... life is so cruel... people just want to escape it...
Is the lowest of scum on earth projecting their misery onto others. Life is fricking beautiful, the world is amazing, and it's this world providing me with great play, watch and enjoy. I don't need to escape it. I'm engaging with it.
Must be nice to have been born into daddy's money you yuppie ass b***h. Someone of us live in the real world.
video games have been pretty well established in the real world, though. it's not that much of a rich luxury or waste of precious hours on earth if you know what you're doing.
Yeah bro, those giant robots and dragons and shit are totes real.
i meant as a medium, dipshit. if we were talking about anime or movies this shit would go down so differently.
Everyone lives in the real world.
Most people just aren't little fricking b***hes about it like you.
By most, I mean 99.9% of people that have existed throughout history, and currently do exist.
Naw, your a trust fund kiddie who never worked a day in their life and has never been outside your ivory tower. You don't live in the real world or you would be miserable. It's impossible not to be.
Imagine being this miserable and think everyone else is miserable too
>if your life isn't miserable, you're not living in the REAL world
Frick off
The absolute state of "blackpilled" homosexuals, to be so fundamentally far gone you can't even fathom other people aren't miserable buttholes is insane.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT MY STUDENT LAON I'M SO MISERABLE
>WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY RENT LIFE IS AWFUL
Go cry somewhere else
Your next line is "let them eat cake".
>autist misses the point and gets mad
many such cases
But I have a good life that I’m not escaping from?
Sorry you’re life is shit
frick that guy
no one, and i mean NO ONE would ever fricking try to make friends with Rowe if he went out irl looking like that. People would see him as a sad consequence of genetics that should be talked about but not be seen at best and actively bully him at worst because he can't fight back. IRL kids are disgusting shits to whoever isn't "correct" and would have killed him in the even recent past if the adults didn't first
he is right. reality has no replacement. people that live behind their computer screens have rejected reality and this should NEVER be encouraged.
Why?
because once you reject reality your chances of an unhappy and unfulfilled life skyrocket
what kind of life could Rowe have, other than being forever bound to his medical limitations that keep him alive?
For some people, that was determined at birth. What part of this do you not understand?
>just give up, fester in your own shit and buy Starfield with autism bux because you weren't born a trillionaire 8 foot chad
Stop projecting, anon. The hacker Ganker isn't your therapist. What others do with their time is also not your business.
It's not about being a trillionaire 8' Chad, it's about not getting along with anyone. Video games are fun. People aren't. I don't like them and they don't like me. I have a family. I went to school and now have a job. I've been going to chat rooms and message boards, and playing online games, for 25 years. I don't like any of the people I've met and they don't like me. I don't hate them, and they don't hate me, we're just not compatible. That's simply part of life, especially modern life. Not everyone can be a normalBlack person like you. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
this is exactly how i feel on the matter, sometimes living among other people just doesn't work out, and it doesn't fricking need to, it's as if the rationale behind "you can't rely on escapism, go live in the real world before it gets worse" assumes that one actively participating in society would make the world "a better place", more palatable for the others that reside in it, or whatever
it wouldn't
>normalBlack person
Grow up stunted child, before you're too old to do anything when realize your mistake.

Embarrassing.

oh yeah here's the real art

gj you got me mad. this is a vidya e-girl thread
Yeah bro stop trying to find an escape and spend time in the real world with the rest of us
me in the white chevrolet malibu on my way to work at walmart 🙂
I agree, but it's the only thing I have. I'm not capable of more.
Hi janny
Cant afford to do anything else
>itt anons conflate being stuck in a rut and being addicted to vidya as a cope with using vidya as a comfy passtime
so long as you are progressing towards your goals youre fine
My goal is enjoying life until I die. Video games do that.
>progressing towards your goals
A meme and the sooner you understand this the sooner you will be free.
Americans are only behind Asian countries like China and Japan when it comes to how deep they are in the rat race, but things are getting better.
>hikkicope.post
You'll understand as you get older, especially if you don't have children.
At least boomers -real boomers not just anyone older than you- had their community and family to give normalgays purpose and a reason to struggle.
I do wonder what our cucked western world governments will do in the next 15 years.
Reality begins when the prostitute of Babylon mounts Jesus in your subconscious and sacrifices your EVA to the void. Thanks God!
To be honest, having spent time in both "worlds", the real world provides escapism all it's own. I've never felt more brain dead than while working. You can get into this place where time just seems to pass you by. I guess my problem with these arguments is that they're always actually about "get a job" or something when the core of what makes escapism bad is present in most of life too.
Video games?
Silly anon, this a final fantasy tactics advance thread, can't you see it?
Why do people say this? If escapism keeps someone from the rope then it's objectively healthy. You never hear these same morons complain about antidepressants being unhealthy.
I'm escaping from unemployment and abject loneliness. Give me a job and a community and I'll play less vidya.
Stop being depressed you blackpilled homosexual. Just go get a better job and buy a house or two.
Boomerpost.
>Job
You're in for a sad surprise anon

Yeah this one's tragic
