If you use discipline for something don't waste your life away in front of a pc screen but do something good for you.

More money is spent developing games nowadays than a dozen tv shows combined. It might be "cheap" to purchase, but the hours of enjoyment you'd get out of it likely dwarf whatever you would spend watching a bunch of different tv shows.
women can just go out and get fricked by a reasonably attractive chad whenever they feel like it even if they're 4/10s. Imaging if you had it that easy, you would never waste your time with video games ever again. Now you understand why women hate nerd shit.

Video games are the opposite of discipline. Video games are accomplishment simulators that subverts discipline in the name of a quick and easy dopamine fix that requires zero effort, or rather the exact amount of low-key effort for the player to find it stimulating enough to feel a sense of accomplishment at the end. We're all just rats running on a digital spinning wheel, no matter how fast you kick your stubby little legs the only thing you will ever have to show for it in the end is a "game over" screen, and that's as true for people who rush through casual games as it is for marathon RPG enthusiasts
You *could* make the argument that e-sports require discipline because they require huge amounts of practice, application, dedication, and teamwork and you're competing against another person with the determination to win for the possibility of payment and prestige, but the level that 99% of us play at is no better than trying to attach significance to a friendly game of basketball with your neighbors, but even that at least leads to the accomplishment of a healthy body and fostered team spirit and sense of community. Video games don't even give you that.
Don't get me wrong I play games and I love the right ones but I am not under any delusions about the fact that it is all just an elaborate and cleverly disguised waste of time
While this is all true, the same could be said of pretty much any activity/pursuit in the modern world whether its reading books, lifting, chasing tail, or accumulating wealth. These are all just diversions that people engage in to satisfy the power process and fill the void that technology has created by rendering trivial humanity's evolutionary imperative which is survival in nature.
Well said. That's why people pray for the end of the world, they subconsciously crave for the technoteat to be pulled from them, for they lack the Will to do it themselves.
Ridiculuos. Absolutely none of these pursuits is as low bar of an effort as video games. Video games are on the same level as solving crosswords, with the exception that it's an exercise to maintain your reflexes. You can prescribe it to the elderly stave off alzheimers. There's absolutely zero value to it as an activity otherwise.
I think you're missing my point, but as for this: >Video games are on the same level as solving crosswords
If done in moderation, so what? If you practiced what you preached and invested all of your time in disciplined, constructive activity we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
>If done in moderation, so what?
Because you don't do it in moderation, no matter how disciplined you are. Video games are designed to provide cheap dopamine hits, therefore the longer you maintain the addiction the less disciplined you become.
I can't say I have this problem. When I was younger I was hooked, now I can't stand playing a game for more than an hour per sitting. These days I spend more time discussing games than I do playing them and am more interested in gamedev than anything.
If you can handle the grating voice of a very autistic vtuber there's Onolumi who does full playthrough or games like Fallout, Planescape Torment or Baldur's Gate 2.
My gf has 500 hours on titan quest. The only other game she plays is sims. I'm really glad she's not a hardcore gamer, tho, you guys bring enough obnoxiousness in my life as it is.
It's not a realistic one though. You can spend your adolesence playing vidya and still graduate from college, have a career, a house, a marriage, etc. These are not difficult things to achieve with modest effort. I know because I did it, a lot of the people I knew growing up did too. I also remember people in high school telling me games were for losers who went on to become dishwashers or die of drug overdoses.
You're not wrong, but anyone who attached unwarranted significance to their video gaming, such as some autismo thinking that he is better than women because he plays ultra-autistic RPGs, is the issue here
Of course it's sour grapes and different incels find different ways of seething about it and one such way is OP's way of thinking that the video games he plays makes him superior to every one else

Victoria 2 is indeed a high IQ patrician game. Not its fault that you're just an npc with no inner voice.
>why dont they have the discipline to get addicted to videogames
They have discipline unlike men and thats why they're not wasting their life on rpgs and actually do important things like going to school,getting a job,moving out of their moms house instead of sitting in their moms basement all day trying to get their friendliness level with John Smith/Jane Doe to unlock the kiss scene.
I can't say I have this problem. When I was younger I was hooked, now I can't stand playing a game for more than an hour per sitting. These days I spend more time discussing games than I do playing them and am more interested in gamedev than anything.
>When I was younger I was hooked
These are literally the worst times of your life to be "hooked" onto video games.
Average girl spends their time grinding IRL. They all have like three degrees, participate in some hobby every weekday, volunteer and yet still have time to maintain friendships.
Arcanum is a great rpg that was released half baked. If it had even decent combat and the part of the game after bmc was more fleshed out it would be a contender for GOAT.
I spend all day inside playing RPGs for hundreds of hours and jerk off to anime grills; why does no one believe me when I say that I'm an expert on everything female????
No normal person does that. This is why Final Fantasy is popular, girls waste 30 hours helping Chadboy Handsomou save the world, not 100 hours on some dark and depressing medieval wasteland.
Women care about visual aesthetics and atmosphere a lot. I know one who has thousands of hours in stardew valley and ffxiv because they're pretty and have cute boys. She'd probably be just as willing to play a hardcore crpg if it was pink and had a kpop boyfriend.
My computer can't run the OG edition smoothly anymore so I'm gonna have to mod up the EE version. I recently did the Dark Horizons mod and I am DONE with difficulty mods after that bullshit, not even gonna do Stratagems for this (mostly because it takes too long for it to install). Any mods that get overlooked?
>Sandrah Saga
Is that a quest mod? I don't care about the companion does it add more quests? Trying to make all my Baldurs gate 1 and 2 playthroughs last until Baldurs gate 3.
>why girls don't have the discipline to spend more than 100 hours on a rpg game?
Except I do?
I also played Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 1, Andromeda, Fallout 3 and New Vegas. On top of the countless jRPGs I played from a previous age. I might have placed 500 hours on DAO alone. Recently I tried Pathfinder Kingmaker (PS5) but the early segment and its gameplay mechanics is really really complicated to me. I might try it out again
I understand what OP meant. A biological one not some abominable mimicry.
Trannies are so on these anons minds that they still gonna call us one even though we're not. It's just best to ignore them rather than trying to convince them. I believe you.
my wife played through entire BG saga, got bored just before final Irenicus fight (even completed Watcher's Keep) and never finished it. It blows my mind how she's not interested how the game ended. Good thing that she didn't have to play completely shitty Throne of Bhaal tho.

Why yes, I'm the heroic knight, just follow me lead, fair maiden, and I'll show you that I can neither protect my sister or control my temperament. Say, where did the evil wizard touch you? You are a virgin, right?

Autistic women tend to collect stuff, not sink hours into watching numbers go up and down
Girls are said to be more broadly aware, while boys tend to be better at focusing on single thing.
And video games are designed to capture your attention easily. That's probably why a lot more boys fall for them.
women can just go out and get fricked by a reasonably attractive chad whenever they feel like it even if they're 4/10s. Imaging if you had it that easy, you would never waste your time with video games ever again. Now you understand why women hate nerd shit.
you can do that as a gay person as well
being gay is gay
Sex is kind of mid

My sister did. She wasted her entire summer playing bloodline.
they do
My mom has beat Wizardry 8 several times, though she also loved Fallout 4, so she doesn't have the best taste.
girls dont like games
Frick you, I spent hundreds of hours on BG1 and even more on BG2
I have a theory, but it requires that you post your breasts to prove it.
C'mon, anon, I don't even know what kind of theory you have to offer and whether it's worth a photo of my middle-aged, small and saggy breasts.
Because girls drool.
Conversely, boys rule, so we have no issue.

Everything is a waste of time if you're not trying to cure cancer. Frick off you poser.
Spending time with your family is more valuable than trying to throw more money into the endless pot that is cancer research u bugman homosexual.
Lol, your family is a bunch of dysgenic NPCs.
I don't post there but you should go back you pseud homosexual.
OK NEET scum. Call me back when you making threads on Ganker about asking how to fix your attention spam.

If you can handle the grating voice of a very autistic vtuber there's Onolumi who does full playthrough or games like Fallout, Planescape Torment or Baldur's Gate 2.
There's nothing disciplined about me failing my exams because I'm playing all day
My gf has 500 hours on titan quest. The only other game she plays is sims. I'm really glad she's not a hardcore gamer, tho, you guys bring enough obnoxiousness in my life as it is.
Girls don't have to retreat to video games for escapism since the world already caters to their every need pretty much.
i wonder what lilura's sweaty c**t smells like after a crpg hours long binge
apparently most of you guys despise playing videogames
it's just keeping a healthy perspective

Because only Arcanum and Planescape are good?
Arcanum isn't good, it's just memed a lot because the mechanics are hilariously broken and the story pulled couple potent redpills.
Arcanum is a great rpg that was released half baked. If it had even decent combat and the part of the game after bmc was more fleshed out it would be a contender for GOAT.
Arcanum is not about combat or game mechanics.
