    Why did you just tag me in your lame ass video game thread again? I don't play video games I'm older than 10 years old

    And don't worry genocide...I don't have to try and roast you, it's just so easy with your ? boy tendencies

    How did games fall off?

    Too many disappointing games IMO. I personally only get hyped for Fallout, GTA, Elder Scrolls, Red Dead, Battlefield & 2K.


    Everything else is hella short and offers no challenge. Boring. That's just my point of view.

    I miss the days of Toe Jam & Earl, ? Man, Earthworm Jim, etc. We had alot of challenging and entertaining games back then. But then again I'm 30 now. I could just be growing out of games.

    Games back then was only challenging cause it was either A. Too short so they ramp up the difficulty and/or B. Bad design

    All them "hot" games we played back then ain't all hot now

    Maybe not "loser", but do y'all ever feel like you just wasted hours playing some meaningless video games? Not hating, I'm 26 and play PS4. But lately I get this feeling of like I could be doing something better or not liking the fact that I spent the entire day playing games once I got off work. Idk

    That means the rest of your life has no meaning.

    I can get 7 hours of gaming in and still feel like I was better than I was yesterday in other aspects of my life.

    ? I was born in the 80s, and while I do enjoy playing video games I cut it down significantly. Been busy with life, but if a game intrigues me I will cop and play it. What's the difference ? Everybody up in their mobile phone anyway texting, gaming ETC

    I think it depends on the types of games you play and/or how much time you putting into it. I play games like COD where I can get on for 10-20 minutes and get off. I do the occasional Uncharted and binge a few nights when nothing's going on, but that's like once a year or more. If you playing video games 2-3 hours every day then yeah, you a loser. Get up, get out, and do something!

    The stigma of gamers being losers ended by 2001.

    Not completely true.

    Gaming has never been as mainstream as it has been in the 21st century. Just like the internet stigma died cause the net went mainstream so did th gamer stigma. It's been normalized because now everyone plays video games one way or the other.

    It's human nature to play games even old people play chess in the oark. They also like net games like candy crush, Scrabble,zuma etc. If played GTA online with older dudes I. Their 40s 50's etc.

    The Youtuber in that video sounds like a loser, full stop. That's not gaming's fault, that's just him.

    You're not a loser if you enjoy videogames, but I feel the mainstream press and media still has a problem with the subject and still likes to push that notion to a point that people still believe it to be true.

    Considering the videogame industry makes more money than the film industry it can hardly be considered niche. Everyone from console owners to smartphone users takes part in some form of gaming at some point yet it still feels like it gets treated like an activity only children or male, socially-awkward, teenage geeks locked in their rooms take part in. Considering twenty and thirty-somethings are the larger demographic when it comes to console games it just seems like the press just refuses to shake off what is a very outdated view of the subject. Add that some people still think videogames are corrupting children and I just think it's an issue with the press and how they still portray the subject.

    YouTubers are losers period.
