I don't

I pirate them so I won't have to justify that

And you wonder why things don't get ported to PC

That's crazy, I only really buy a few games a year

I usually dont spend that in a year. Dont pirate either.

I dunno. I try to buy only the games I'd like and there aren't that many coming out each year. Though I must say that the amount of games I'd buy is on the rise lately. Heck, I've even got some on release for full price, which is uncalled for for me, especially considering I live in a post-Soviet country and my salary is, like, a bit more than 200 bucks.

You're competing in a game where people who are born superior to you have far better results. It's a rigged game. What fucking retard would continue to play a rigged game?

The average poster has to delude themselves to cope with this reality. I GET IT. There's no other reason for such denial. This poster then projects that denial onto other people, relying on ridiculous strawmen to argue with.

Your wife will see men more attractive and successful than you every day on television. Who do you think she fantasizes about?
There are men out there who could fuck your girlfriend if they only had contact woth her because they are so naturally superior to you.
There are guys who have women approach them and pursue relationships and sex instead being a little fucking rodent that has to plan out how to meet girls, what to say to them, what to wear to impress them... pathetic.
These guys don't have to worry about their little gym activities or their career or their personality. They have grown up natrually socialized forming a desirable and outgoing personality, with opinions that are generic and attractive, they're taller, with a larger frame than yours, with a bigger dick, who smell better, who may have been born into money and they are far more physically attractive than you.

You're just a worthless cockroach picking up the scraps, the undesirable women who will settle for you despite being drawn so strongly to these superior men.

And your response to this will only be a coping mechanism. You convince yourself that none of this matters because if you keep working hard then you can get a girl who finds you to be her ideal and her to be your ideal... right?

i play old games or pirate some indy games. last game i bought was subnautica and i still haven't played it. big games aren't comfy

Are you actually playing all 200 dollars worth? If you're just building up a backlog every month, that's dumb. Video games are actually a pretty cheap hobby compared to some things. Plus they devalue super quick, so unless you're buying everything day one, you don't have to spend a lot to get a lot. I only buy full priced games at launch if it's something I'm really looking forward to, usually one game every few months. The rest I just wait for sales or the price to drop with time.

I spend about $400 a year on software
$200 a year on accessories (usually controllers i have a stack of 12 wii remotes for examples\ and bought em all out when Walmart was discontinuing its stock)

and then when a new gen comes I buy that shit within a couple months.

IDGAF i make money. its my hobby

I spend less than $60 a year

200 a month? On what exactly?

There are no good games that need to be ported to pc so that doesn't matter.

You're fine. It's your hobby. Ignore the poor welfarefags.

It's called budgeting skills.

i buy one game every six months at the absolute most

it's not even a self-imposed limit. video games are just shit

I buy one good game and pirate the rest of the shit.
If you want me to buy your game, don't release trash.

Based and redpilled. I only buy multiplayer games that Im really looking forward to. Everything else I buy at the pirate bay

do americans really make 9k a month?

"Donations" what did they mean by this?

A full pie at Pizza Hut costs $20.
My kickboxing gym costs $280 a month.
I don't know the last time I went without spending $140 on food per week.

I don't think you NEETs understand we don't live in 1981 anymore. $200 a month on vidya is not "egregious". It's quite on the cheap end, as far as hobbies go.

1. why do you presuppose there is a need justify it?
2. why do you feel guilty about it?
3. why are you not asking someone who is close to you how to do something about it if you are bothered?

If you stopped being faggots you could escape the stereotype. But, you're not so there is no hope for you.

This, the only games i've really been excited for this generation all came out the same year (BOTW, NieR, Persona 5), so i just bought those & traded my PS4 in afterwards. Now i only have a PC & Switch

There's nothing worth spending $200 a month on in gaming, unless you're buying microtransactions for some multiplayer game.

If this wouldn't be a blue board I would call OP the n word.
What a fucking spaz this guy spending this much on the shittiest hobby man ever created

I make 100k a year and pay $2600 with my wife for a 2bd in a non-nigger filled area of a major city while saving for a house. Where do these $800 rents exist in low crime areas with a bevy of job opportunities?

bloodborne? rdr2?

Including my pc I have probably spent about between $4000 and $5000 on playing games over the roughly 10 years I've been playing them for and that money has added up to thousands more in hours of fun and memorable moments, so I think I have made a good purchase. I only buy games on sale and I usually maybe buy a small handful of games once or twice a year and that's all I need, I haven't even bought a game in nearly a year because I've been playing ones I already own.

Having roommates or a wife who earns?

Are you me?

I just pirate everything and only pay for what I really enjoy and never if I have other bills to pay and upgrade my PC every like 5 years.

How? Are there even that many games worth playing right now? I buy maybe 3 games a year, and then platinum them to rinse as much playtime as possible. Im a student and i work full time though, so i have neither the money nor time to play endlessly. Try getting a game with a longer playtime, JRPGs are pretty good for that, especially if you actually do the end game content

My wife works and I don’t want roommates, I’m just complaining that the housing market is rigged by a certain type of individual.

There's no such fucking thing as making $100,000 as a twenty-fucking-five year old outside of big cities, you blind fool. The only people who get that life are the ones born into connections. Nobody can climb a career ladder that fucking fast without divine intervention of luck and white collar workers don't make this much unless they strike gold by starting a business at the right place in the right time. The young kids who can work hard for that kinda advancement can only find it in EXPENSIVE places.

Economically this doesn't fucking check out. Nowhere in America do you have such speed of career advancement paired with such low rent.

You make 100k and pay $2600 for 2db with another income to help, stop whining.

I don't spend a lot on vidya, simple as

It's very doable if you're flexible on housing situation.

Nowhere, that statistic is horseshit. $800 is half a rent in major cities.

>Where do these $800 rents exist in low crime areas with a bevy of job opportunities?
In the magical land of Bullshit Statistics

>My wife works
So she’s fucking Tyrone at work instead of raising your kids and making you dinner

>I spend like $200 a month
What are you buying every month?

If you didn't post your fucking anime pillows on your Instagram and Facebook and didn't act like a fucking retard in ever other way... you'd have a chance. I've run across some very sharp 20 year olds who could have done amazing things.... but their autism got in their way.

tldr: stop being a faggot and act like an adult, you'd be surprised what you can achieve.

I'm sure it's all my fault

I spend maybe $60 a month on vidya at the absolute max.
However, I spend a frankly irresponsible amount of money on guns.

Justify them? I don't feel guilty. It's my entertainment.

America truly sounds nightmarish.

>good goy, you can make it in life
>just slave away 6 shifts a week at our corporation while living in a janitor closet and having a 1GB cap on your mobile data
>for a decade

Yeesh...
No wonder Americans are dumb as a log, you guys waste your youth on "muh hard work and sweat" and once you've "made it" you find yourself with a bunch of money and a house, but zero intelligence and culture.

Easily. There aren't 200$ worth of good games in a month.
Only games I bought in 2019 were DMC5, Risk of Rain 2 and EDF5. Pirated the rest, so I have absolutely no regrets about the ones I buy.

I don't even like anime so you're preaching to the wind there. I just prefer to spend my free time on having fun and chilling out. I don't believe in your slave labor culture. I should be able to work 5 shifts a week and not have to do additional study or work outside of that and STILL make money to eventually buy a house. But no, you faggots feed into this slave mentality so only "hard working" goys get to advance.

And, by the way anime is actually pretty damn good... I recommend you start with "Attack on Titan" then "B the Beginning."

Short term go for electrician or plumber skills. Carpentry, too.
Long term, learn to program.

It's ironic, since life is shit in communism. And your life is shit too because you have to work and study and work and study and work and study half your life to so much as buy a house. But your shit life is suuuper great though because YOU don't mind slaving away.

You have to live in the world you're in.
If it means roommates then so be it.
It's not like I can change anything.

The problem we have is, a lot of Americans have been taught their whole lives that the only way to have a happy and comfortable life is to spend tons of money on shit they don't need or even really want, so they think that if they don't work all the time they'll not be able to live a good life.

I spend 200$ on lunch fucking poorfags

Do you legit have brain damage? No, I'm serious... do you really have brain damage?

Programming's better when you approach it more like a hobby and take your time with it. That's why I said long term. As for electrician, I'm not sure what you mean, there's nothing I can think of that proper precaution won't prevent and I am not aware of any mortality rate issues in the field. Just don't go working for ConEd on electricity poles if you're that concerned. Carpentry's more dangerous if ya' think about it, lol.

And I want to repeat the plumber shit. It's not the nasty, shitty experience you may expect it to be. Well, very rarely it is, but whatever. It's a good gig.

>someone thinks that they shouldn't have to work 24/7 just to scrape by
>braindead corporate slaves immediately lash out at them

The only brain damage is pretending that working 5 shifts a week shouldn't be enough for young adults to get on their feet and set up a modest life.

Juggling a full time job and a college is a lie sold to the retards of this country and you all fell for it hook, line and sinker.

how do you have time for games worth 200$ each months? I know there are some trannies on retardera that throw away that amount of money but dont actually play the game because they spend most time dilating.

I don't spend that much. but, if it doesn't affect your livelihood, who gives a shit how much it is you spend on something you love doing.

I dunno, i feel like I'm gonna be working at some fat lady's house to fix the light switch and when im busy working she is gonna flip the breaker or her fatness will cause a gravitational rift as she walks by that flips it by accident. I bet handing from the side of a helicopter fixing those giant 4 trillion volt lines is safer than worker at some random person's house.
As for plumbing, 2 times I had to dig out the poop pipes outside a warehouse and my dads house. And once as I was digging a trench to replace the pipe i accidentally hit it with a shovel and a giant stream of poop water filled the trench. I really wanted to die.
I was at school for programming so it consumed my life, as a hobby Im sure you are right.

The prob with a modern civil war is theres no uniforms. No lines to draw, no way to tell whos who. It's not like everyone is gonna take out a test and ask each other their ideology before shooting. And if you wanna base it on race only, youre gonna get shot in the back fast. I want a civil war too user, but i dont think it's feasible. Unless we all agree to wear neat uniforms.

I doubt very much I'd be able to stay so cheery if I had to spend so much of my time doing something I didn't enjoy.

Because you're a piece of shit parasite on the rest of us. You're genuinely a worthless human being that should be "exterminated." You contribute nothing. You do nothing. You're just taking up space. You really are worthless. Have you ever thought about that? Do you, at least, have the self-awareness to know how utterly useless you are? Have you ever thought about what to do about it?

What color uniform do you want to wear?

Dark Souls 3 and RDR 2 isn't a game.

tell us what they are!

boomer please go

Of course you didn't. That's why you never responded. Enjoy your drug addiction and the fact you're absolute failure in all aspects of life. I would suggest suicide, but you'd probably fuck that up too and end up as a vegetable (which isn't much of an improvement over your current state). I'm drunk and raging..... it is what it is...

Nah, i'm feeling good today, like everyday, must be that free time.
On the other hand you seems to have anger issues to deal with.

drugs

incel

No, it's not anger issues. I honestly don't care about you. Believe it or not, I really don't. I'm just genuinely curious if you understand how useless you are? I mean, doesn't it bother you that you contribute nothing? You do nothing? You're just a lazy piece of shit that takes pride in being a lazy piece of shit? How do you look yourself in the mirror? Well, assuming you actually DO look yourself in the mirror.

Life is short... whether you're a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim, an Atheist... whatever. Our time on this planet is short. You don't feel even the slightest drive to do something? To do anything?

Hey, tell me... when your mom is getting fucked by her new boyfriend (you know, when she invites him over to watch a movie and thinks you're asleep), do you put your ear to the wall and listen to her moan?
