Is video games as a form of escapism?

Women are physically and intellectually inferior to men. Their role is to bear children and ensure the survival of our species.

Everything. Job, finances, depression, anxiety, decisions you made in the past you have to keep holding on to.
For me it's getting away from people. It's why I only do single player games plus all my friends moved away years ago.
Worst part is if the game you're playing isn't immersive or fun you've lost that time.

go away before I drop radioactive barrels on your house again

Easy there incel, we don't do that on this board anymore. Consider having sex or something. Jesus.

Right now? Just stops me from overthinking, life isn't as bad as it's made out to be but loneliness and anxiety can catch up sometimes games help even if I don't talk or play multiplayer much. Plus make wage slaving it worth it I guess.

Imagine watching this movie when you're like 8 years old, because I did.

Imagine being born in 1980 and watching it in theatres as an 8 year old.

>If so, what are you escaping from?
Reality, dumbass

I was 6. Babysitter wasn't supposed to take us out of the house but her and her friend took us and some other kids to the theater.
It was a weird day but entertaining movie. Didn't catch all the innuendo in the movie until I was older.

Video games give me goals, they have some kind of meaning whilst also not having permanent, costly consequences. Thus they allow me to experience time without a sense of inherent futility of my actions and also without a crippling fear of irrevocable failure.

So I'm escaping from my life, which is the opposite of all that.

>what are you escaping from?
the failure, disappointment, and shame associated with my life

If youre playing vidya for 10+ and not grinding, there is clearly an issue.

Everything. Running as fast and as far from everything as I can.

When I'm not working I'm thinking about what game to play then end up watching ecelebs make money playing videogames and hang out with their friends. I do this for about a week only it's not a week it's been 3 years since i graduated high school.

Since they're actual living drawings, they probably feel like cold paper.

Who started the escapism meme? If anything video games are part of living just as any other entertainment is. If you're dead, you can't played video games.

Get the fuck off Yea Forums, pussy, or better yet fuck off to your containment board.

>Is video games as a form of escapism?
It can be.
>If so, what are you escaping from?
How boring and unsatisfying real life is.
I've been to Vegas, gone jet skiing, diving in Mexico, been on a cruise to Puerto Rico, visited Niagara Falls, and nothing compares to the shit you see and do in video games.
I feel like those idiots getting clinically depressed that Avatar's Pandora isn't a real place, except for all the cool shit in vidya and not acutally getting fucking depressed about it.

>tfw Bob Iger rejected the sequel because they are more focused on capeshit and star wars

I know when I was a kid I would turn to my Nintendo or Sega and forget my shitty family and fake ass friends.
They never wanted to do anything with me and after so many fights and stuff stolen from my fake ass friends video games were there for me when I couldn't watch cartoons after 4 pm.

im escaping from:
>my "going nowhere" future
>the fact that Ill never find someone who cares about me as much as id care about them
>all the friends ive lost leading to me keeping everyone at arms length
>my family issues and obligations
>the monotony of everyday work and participation in a system designed to keep me in a barely stable living condition
>the envy I feel for anyone online with a voice
I also have anime, manga, music, smonkage, and drank to help

Anything that isn't work is escapism.

>the fact that Ill never find someone who cares about me as much as id care about them
God fuck I didn't want to remember this user, it keeps happening.

I got cucked so fucking hard in high school, so hard it scarred me and probably made me into the loser I am today. I eventually dated another girl when I was a virgin 23 y old, coincidentally she had the same name as my old crush and I got cucked hard again.

What are you talking about? In what way and are you stupid?

Have sex, c*esar worshipper

if a woman is animated with a voluptuous body its sexist

I'm a touchless wizard

Will never happen, society will kill itself over bullshit before we come anywhere near that

Her boobs are defying gravity

Guys, I made that post just to annoy you. Sorry about that.

Whatever you say Mr. Bond.

>If so, what are you escaping from?

Boredom.

hell

>People get disappointed and rejected in real life
>Game awards you with an achievement as soon as you open it
Yeah, I'm thinking it is escapism and there is nothing wrong with that

For me it is, yeah.

Mostly having to take full responsibility for not improving myself in any meaningful way.

I'll never understand the talk about a hobby or an action categorically being escapism. You could use anything as escapism. I'm currently browsing Yea Forums to avoid playing a game. I'm not using that game to escape anything.

Would home life be escapism from work? Is work escapism from your home and family? Is drinking coffee escapism? Is drinking water? Is studying escapism from college parties or the other way around?

Sorry to hear that user, but if you dislike cuckolding why did you let it happen?

reliable higher work/reward ratio simply lets games be the equivalent of a local maxima in gradient descend. The wall to reach a global maxima is just too damn high.

I live in sweden so Globohomo

Are you me?

>Is video games as a form of escapism?
Depends on the person you're asking this.
>If so, what are you escaping from?
Reality.

Good, it didn't need a sequel.
