nah i've seen those training videos i don't wanna get kick in the nuts 50 times a day

is it just me or did matt get jaw surgery

dunno about surg but he looks way diff now

picrel what we all wish we were

43. basically moved on from the ability to call it a hobby. I've only played maybe 5 different games in the last 5 years. I go back to 2 of those for 80% of my gaming to relax from time to time. Like 3,000 hours in Hitman because it's chill.

42 here. I tried to start up a JRPG but I can only manage to play 2 hours a week on sunday. At this pace I'll finish one per year.

Yeah, all men think that before they have children. Then it gets flipped around. Kids are awesome.
The opposite is true for women. The think they want kids, then realize they don't. Honestly, women shouldn't be allowed around children these days. If the children even manage to survive without getting aborted, the women just turn them into trannies instead.

Never had sex

Shit job with no promotions or raises

Living with family

Games are literally all I have left. What was the point of it all, bros?

you're supposed to reproduce and pass your genes on to the next generation.
if you can't, then push your field of profession forward.

thanks for life-changing advice kikegolem

I feel like moving on from here, but there isn’t much else to go to. Social media feels hollow when moderated.
At least I still play video games.

42 in a month

Nothing wrong with that as long as you’re not spouting off all the time on here about games you don’t play.

Turning 41 next week. Broke up with long term girlfriend a few months ago. Been spending all my free time playing Rimworld and rehabbing animals. Much happier. Women are a trap. Don't do it.

36 here. Do any older anons regret getting married/having kids? I’ve always been satisfied with my life single and childless, but wondering if its worth exploring other options.

I'm only 33, but I (hopefully) will still be playing vidya in my 40s.

is that matt

yes but he looks diff now

This post started fine and then turned completely schizophrenic

33

no gf

no job

stem college degree but no will to work on the field

living with my (divorced) mother

chronically ill but getting better

I just don't give a fuck anymore lol, I wanted to do a lot of shit, travel the world, but my illness incapacitates me.

Maybe someday it'll get better.

I think my dissatisfaction with having kids comes from a more conceptual place, like I'm breaking an unbroken chain of ancestors who passed on their genes, rather than from a place where I genuinely regret not having the experience of having children.

I've helped raise my niece and nephew enough to know the actual process of child-rearing is an annoyance to me.

Looks bogged. Literally how did he do this?

got a wife that's into Sims and MMOs

Not really, no, gaming together is fun
An old internet buddy of mine is in a long term relationship as well and the four of us game together or one of us streams while we all shoot the shit, it's cozy

either surgery or japanese alcohol

I'm here forever

37 with a 10 months old. I still have quite some time to play because I sacrifice my sleep time. I always looked 10 years younger than my age but now it’s catching up to me because I’ve been averaging 5 hours a night since he was born. First few months was because he didnt sleep through the night ofc like all newborns. But then when he started sleeping through the night I just decided fuck it im already used to a lack of sleep, might as well enjoy my hobby. Problem is, there’s actually no good games. Literally every game I’m anticipating ends up being a disappointment. So I’m considering just reclaiming my sleep time as proper sleep because video games are so shit. I guess I can thank the vidya industry for caring about my long term health.

anyone who regrets having a kid is fucked in the head, unless they have extenuating circumstances such as custody battle/cunt wife, etc
I'm a single dad and my kid is by far the best thing that's ever happened to me
I'm not 40+ though, I'm 32

The greatest transformation since MJ

He's not lying tho

Supposed to.

NTA. My family is a goddamn dysfunctional and dysgenic mess. I would never wish suffering upon them, but there are people who just shouldn't reproduce.
I don't know how people can see us subvert nature, propping up the mentally ill and still think "We should ALL reproduce! Your bloodline lasted Xmillion generations and it ends with you? Insane!"
Too bad the people who advocate for eugenics are sadistic, tyranical freaks who somehow see bad genes as something to punish people for.

Ok so you're the end link of a chain of genetics reaching milions of years back into the past
congrats

I've helped raise my niece and nephew enough to know the actual process of child-rearing is an annoyance to me.

I imagine when it's your own kids your brain probably floods you with feelgood chemicals on top of getting more happy moments and a better bond with them to make it a different experience. Whereas when it's your nephew there's a good chance you're basically a glorified babysitter.

Never had sex

you know just go to the brothel, it's quick and without all the bullshit of dating.
but I think you want a wife, which is an uphill battle. work on your fitness, appearance and social skills.
money helps too.

Had eugenics been implemented say, some 80 years ago… humanity would be colonizing the solar system by now.

Just celebrated my son’s first birthday last week. I miss playing vidya as much as I used to (all day every day) when I was single but his smile and laugh gives me more joy than any electronic toy ever could, and I look forward to gaming with him when he gets older.

Considering my grandpa was had mental issues and was the sort of person to whack .22 caliber rounds with a hammer? Yeah, this chain should've ended even sooner than it already is. Dead ends happen in nature all the time yet (You) ignore that.

this is what practicing pitch accent does to you

I think the opposite is true, if eugenics weren't implemented by the rockefellers:

the concept of viruses wouldn't exist

no vaccine would exist

water wouldn't be fluoridrated

people would be smarter in general

people would be healthier in general

And this doesn't just extends to allopathic medicine, nutrition is riddled with eugenics, from the psyops to make people think that animal fat is unhealthy, to the psyops to make people eat industrialized processed garbage like seed oils.

Just research the ties of the adventists with vegan diets and how these diets make people not want to have sex anymore lmao.

We live in such a miserable existence because the powers that be want people to be miserable while they play with children and drink adenochrome. 300k missing children in the US is not a mistake, it's by design.

literally me I'm just not sick, I unironically want an easy simple job like janitor since I have no real need for much of a salary

yep, he's bog'd all right.

tfw mentally ill but also white with blue eyes and a very high IQ

Do I still get to breed or no? It's important for me to decide if I support eugenics or not.

Does he have fetal alcohol syndrome?

theyll call you a schizo
but never a liar

I dont know what you’re talking about man.

eugenics is like dog breeding. Allow some people to reproduce, forbid most people to reproduce. Make a world full of 8feet tall aryan gods. Not that difficult when you look at dog breeds.

I never understood this because eventually your kids will still mix with undulating mass that is society.

Also that implies that things begin with you.

Which no offense but LMAO

I don't think the people in power have interest in a society of smart, fit and healthy people, because that wouldn't be under their control

I’m 31 with a 1-year-old and I’m considering waking up an hour earlier to play more games since I don’t have as much time as I’d like. I’d get an hour in the morning, an during my lunch break, and maybe a couple after work. Modern games are too long though so I basically switched over to retro games, that way it doesn’t take me over a month to complete a game. “Finished” up Wave Race 64 and I’m now playing Metroid Zero Mission. So many good games in the past that there really isn’t any reason to play (and pay for) new games.

Did Matt get cancelled or something

every other family tree for thousands and thousands was immaculately perfect except for mine because I had a bad grandpa, that’s why I’m not having kids

Nice cope

yes. 44
New games are shite.

I want a kid but don't want to interact with a woman, just want to be a single father

41, still here, you are here forever.

He looks like he's had surgery. And he got a "delinquent" perm too. Pretty sad for a dude in his 30s.

I think a bunch of his conversations about refold got leaked so exposed him thinking little of the people that paid for a subscription and that also it wasn’t technically a scam he basically said he made it for stupid people to give him money or some shit like that. Plus I think he’s been accused of being racist in which case good for him

I feel like I'll most likely move on by 40 unless i pivot into gamedev and im not sure if i want to. My gaming hours been going down lately, mostly just run some indie roguelites to pass an hour of waiting or play some gigahyped projects.
t. 32 lvl

eugenics have always existed, study its history, after ww2 it "disappeared" it seems, but in fact it didn't, it just went out of sight.

Fluoridating water is eugenics, it lowers IQ, fluoride is a known neurotoxin.

Vaccines are the best eugenics tool, it poisons people with mercury (thimerosal) and aluminum adjuvants, it poisons people with formaldehyde, it turns babies into customers for big pharma and ensures that they'll live a life riddled with chronic illness.

Eugenics nowadays is justa tool for ultimately depopulation, which is how the covid vaxx was used.

Viruses don't even fucking exist, the whole field of virology is a sham, and all eugenics nowadays are based upon this myth.

Mio?

Am I supposed to bring kids into this mess? It's really not hard to find a wife, doesn't matter what incels say, because they're looking for resources. But should you? I don't see things getting better. Biological arguments doesn't matter when we're not living in a natural state anyway. How do you cope when you know how fake and gay society is?

eugenics

the ruling elite often don't do them for the benefit of mankind or their own ethnicity. it's often for the benefits of the rulers themselves.
sure they would like their subjects to be smart, healthy and strong. but also obedient, servile, low maintenance and loyal(even if they treat you bad).

Please never, ever vote.

you're saying you know more than nature when you say this, which is wrong

not having kids as a white male (especially intentionally) is literally waving the white flag to jews and giving up. pretty pathetic, honestly

Something something leave a legacy, something something build a dynasty.
Im very tempted to find bunch of wives and leave as many kids as i can, just so some dumb med nerd down the line wondered what brought average IQ down and astigmatism up so much in the population.

I'm playing the piano now because it's basically a video game

as if it mattered when we have retards like you voting lmao.

What did they say that was wrong?

40yr old here. I'm just eternally jaded and wish I'd learned to code. I my gen had it so good that we just thought someone could always be relied on to make decent vidya so we never took up the mantle and let slimy troons and leftoids slip through the cracks.

If the guy wasn't a walking red flag canceling himself in someone's eyes from the start, I don't think there's anything that could have changed their mind.

I'm 52 and divorced with three kids I haven't seen in years. I got lucky on stocks and just take walks, browse Anon Babble and play vidya now. It sounds miserable but anything is better than family life.

did we all move on?

Bro, I got no where else to go.

but did they take half your money?
and u can speak because u reproduced but many single ppl haven't

I pay child support but I got lucky as fuck in the courts lmao she barely got shit especially because I had evidence that she's violent and retarded

why did you get involved with someone violent and retarded

im 47
slower, reaction times way down, its not worth playing anything competitive.

women change after you marry them

well said

thanks im a truecel

Yeah I'm here, just stopped playing dying light 2, dog is looking at me like it's not nearly 4 am and it's okay for him to go outside and I'm about to sleep so peace out.

41. I spent the last 10 years taking care of my dad, desu I was prepared to take care of him as long as he needed, but life had other plans, feels like life has passed me by.
I got a good job but I got no sense for women or dating, I dress like a homeless person most of the time.
Just big gaming outside of that, enjoying AI Limit recently, also downloaded this game Amagami on my vita and its pissing me off, its like dating IRL women sometimes.

you're supposed to reproduce and pass your genes on to the next generation.

if your parents didn't then you wouldn't be here
you're either on board with the "life" program or you aren't

every day that goes by you start to notice your mom's look of disappointment of not having any grandchildren

desu I don't think they set up millennials for family life very well.

I opened my Steam account, looked over my library and realized that I don't want to play anything.
I have replayed some old games over the last few years, there were some "new" games that I have tried, but all of those came out before 2012.
I'm bored and I'm doomscrolling YouTube Shorts and scrolling Anon Babble in hope to see threads like this and doompost.
Is it finally over?

I had a worse hairline than that at 20, let alone 40

did you have children? that's your life's purpose, to extend a chain into the future

implying I have any empathy for boomers

Having a child is like a piece of your soul breaking off and going to live in another body. I can still feel its presence, but it's no longer in me. Sometimes I just watch my son sleep when I have insomnia. He will experience the joy of everything for the first time, something I no longer can. But when I see him happy, I feel that warmth I thought was gone forever.

Sorry Shinzo Abe-san, I have failed...

gay
I wish I could experience that

You didn't fail. You just haven't succeeded yet

there are people 70+ who play games, fuck off

42 here and feeling jaded, is the industry shit now or are we just old? I could easily afford a Switch 2 but am not interested in one at all. Nintendo put out so many good games in the 90's but the only one I can think of over the past 10 years which was great is BotW.

you mean like galaga (1981)?

For what purpose?

the industry is shit now.

My mom was a fucking basket case, don't care

Sounds nice, anon. I spent 6 years trying to make it work, had multiple failed attempts where the embryo never made it to two months, and then my wife got sick and had to have a hysterectomy. I tell myself I'm fine not having kids since I have some stuff wrong with me that I don't really want to pass on, but there's always that nagging feeling that I'll never really have a full family, that the rest of my life is just going to be stuck on chapter 4 of a 12 chapter novel that never gets finished. At least I know I'm not the only couple in my family that dealt with this, a lot of males related to me two or three generations back ended up in similar situations. Sometimes life tells you no and you just have to accept it.

But their already a wizard and dipping into monk really has little benefits.

Industry's fucking trash. Tons of baseddevs and artfags in the West and Japan is reverting back to the same trash heap it was in the 2000s. Maybe China and Korea will save us, but I doubt it.

The industry is shit.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized evolution and the retarded stories it causes people to make as coping mechanisms for existence are gayest thing I’ve ever seen

so how did you come to be if not a chain of breeding reaching millions of years into the past which you failed to continue?

39 been here since 2005.

I am weary.

WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU PATHETIC FUCK
OUR GREAT WAR IS A SPIRITUAL ONE
OUR GREAT DEPRESSION IS OUR LIVES
LET GO

so true xister.
