Play video games as a kid alone

play video games as a kid alone

no problem

play video games as an adult alone

family says they're concerned

welp. time to start a family, i guess haha.

I like vidya
t. 34 yo with a job living on his own

he bugs me

tfw have schizophrenia so people leave me alone

stay strong. don't let yourself be gaslight into slavery

so people leave me alone

I thought it's just because they're taking turns surveiling you

nta but there has to be a path to modest living that doesn't require waging 60 hours a week. Thats not the kind of lifestyle Id ever want.

That'd be the stupidest thing.

Oh look at this d00d, he just plays vidya, listens to music and shitposts

Riveting. Dunno what anyone would get out of surveiling someone who just doesn't do anything interesting.

Sleep it off

i need some advice from you guys, im 42 here. I've been playing video games all my life, in many different genres, from Civilization to Warcraft to Wolfenstein 3D to Halo to Half Life to Fallout to Fornite to Red Dead Redemption to The Witcher to Cyberpunk 2077 and many in between. My wife knew this shortly after we met and of course when we got married. She had always said that she doesn't "get them" or understand why anyone would want to play them but she understood that it was something I found relaxing and enjoyable.

Fast forward to this week and she flat out tells me (while we were arguing about something else) that she thinks video games are juvenile, she can't believe that a 42 year old man plays them, and that playing them makes me less attractive to her. For reference, I'm a manager at work, we have a nice house, four kids and 2 dogs. So it's not like I'm just bumming around. And I take care of my hygiene and appearance - basically I don't fall into any of the negative gamer stereotypes. I also play when everyone else is asleep so it's not cutting into family or housework time. It does mean that I tend to sleep in on weekend mornings though, which she doesn't like, as she's more of a morning person.

what do? Is there any hope of her changing how she feels? She knows that some of them are very much not for kids and that it's a bigger industry than movies, but it doesn't change how she feels. Should I give up gaming? That would feel like a huge sacrifice but would probably have big benefits. Or do we just live with this?

caring about what women think

Not a surprise, since you're a blogposting attentionwhore, meaning you have a woman brain yourself

You're 42 on Anon Babble. She should be asking for a divorce on top of destroying your hobbies and joy in life.

wow very impressive.

Make fun of her hobbies.

Thanks :)
I play around 20-30 hours a week, every week

I think the problem is more that you still live with your parents

She just wants you to get a cool hobby so she can tell her acquaintances. I bet she has zero hobbies.

Is she sexually satisfied?

fortnite, red dead redemption, the witcher, cyberpunk

i agree with your wife you're a fag and your taste in games is shit

35yo, no wife or kids.

Pretty decent full-time job, good pay and benefits for my neck of the woods.

Still live with parents, who enjoy having me around.

Spare time and money all goes into my hobbies.

I won.

Anything anyone does to relax could be called “pointless, trivial, lazy, childish, etc.” DO NOT give up doing what you enjoy. I’m the same age as you, and have also gamed my whole life. My wife loves trashy TV (housewives, and other Bravo reality crap). I could tear her down for how dumb I think that is, she could tear me down for my silly games; but we don’t because we live and understand each other.

You're already an old fuck and still haven't learned not to let other people bend you into shapes?

I won.

yo, no wife or kids.
oof

She just said whatever evil shit she can to make you mad, period.
You're probably not fucking her hard enough, or if you are fucking her, you're not choking her.

She's shit testing you, and you're failing. You have to show her that you're dangerous, that you can hurt other people.
Mostly you need to fuck her, and I don't mean eat her out (because she neither loves nor respects you enough for that), you need to use her.
Order her around, make her suck your dick, make her eat your asshole, whatever degrading shit you can do to make her feel your power.

anons fell for the reddit copypasta

stop replying to the fucking reddit post jesus christ. This is why you lurk the front page because retards get you with this every time. The anti reddit psyop is such a joke

mad coz you are not an epic succeful 42 year old gaymer with 2 dogs and 4 kids and a bitch of a wife :)

Gotta fall for it or else there's nothing to talk about. It would be like noticing a game wants you to walk into an obvious trap to continue the story and deciding to just stop playing entirely.

Some of us aren't transplants

openly admits to browsing reddit

go back and stay there

I used to think like your wife about some things when I was much younger and less mature, but now I see being able to enjoy all kinds of different things and not judge people harshly for their taste as a sign of maturity. You're in your 30s, 40s and you like anime? Kids movies? Comic books? Pen & paper roleplaying? Or on the other side that often gets judged, you're ""basic"" and you listen to Taylor Swift and watch NFL football? It's fine. It's all fine! You can do any of these things, or all of these things. Let people like things, as long as those things are not actively harmful to others or society. It's okay.

how do you fellas still enjoy single player games? the only time I have fun is if Im playing a game with some buddies, otherwise I can barely force myself to play and I dont feel the same joy I felt when I was younger

very creative little man
