ARE VIDEO GAMES A WASTE OF TIME??

What have you gotten out of playing video games?

Entertainment. I'm a leech that wants to suck out any joy from life until I die.

Video games are entertainment like books and tv and Yea Forums. You get what you look for. Shit, factorio has the whole electricity management going for it, I always found that interesting.

If you weren't wasting time on video games you'd most likely be doing something equally worthless.

>but it's fun
Shooting up heroin is fun. Does that mean it's worth doing?

My current carreer, I work as a QA lead because of some friends I made while playing wow and league of legends.

Entertainment
Hand eye coordination
Ability to multitask
Friends
Girlfriend
Improved typing speed

Just to name the most important.

being good at videogames, shithead

fuck else matters?

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Yea Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my best to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Cute Mak

Misogyny and racism. Thank god for vidya for showing me the light.

Tripfags are not bad. Tripfags are giving you the means to ignore them.

If you dislike somebody you should encourage them to pick up a trip. If everybody had a trip you could filter all sorts of retards, and you could look through people's post history to expose them for being unregenerate morons or bad faith shitposters.

There used to be far more tripfags, and Yea Forums was far better off back then. Getting angry about trips in is the mark of an image board neophyte and a bad poster.

These are decent reasons, but I think it depends what kind of games you play. If you play DOTA or Street Fighter socially then sure, games can be a fine hobby, but for a lot of people video games are a lonely pursuit.

Well, I just fapped to your videogame image, so there's that.

literally everything is a waste of time

user, you're doing it wrong
one may call a tripfag a newfag, mongoloid, redditer, retard, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. but call him "user" and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back, having been stripped of that which he most craves

if they are why are you here on videogames board then faggot? just to be op once again?

God I just want to lick Makoto all over and then bury my dick in her snatch

I play much less than I used to, just isn't as much fun anymore. Still, when a good game comes around I'll slowly get through it.

As you get older, what remains of your life is the story you tell about yourself. Video games are a distraction from that l narrative, and if you let them they can steal all your time and leave you an empty person.

Everything is a waste of time

>having a "narrative"

Another waste of time

I played Makoto but I always lingered on how I felt about her.

She's cute in her way but she would also have no time for your lusty shit.

Really helped me with my English vocabulary (not native speaker). I remember teachers mentioning that there was a notable improvement around 6th grade (when we bought or first computer.)

You are compelled by lust and the fear of suffering

Based Quality Assurance poster. Use Jenkins.

>she would also have no time for your lusty shit.
That's why you get her addicted to your cock

Isn't Jenkins for CICD? Don't developers normally set that up and plug unit tests into it?

140 wpm and English.

holy shit i never thought of this
thank you user

Well, the QA on my team is working implementing automated test with it at least.

learning complex games keeps my mind much more active than passively watching repetitive TV
also, I'm a game dev, so every game I ever play teaches me things, big or small, that I can use in my games

I think many devs aspire to make games that will make better people and teach them things they can use in their actual lives, but doing that and selling it seems really fucking hard

reminder: You don't decide what is a waste of time. Your future self is. Everyone thinks what they're doing isn't a waste of time in the moment.

True, but is anything not gonna be a waste of time to my older self? For all I know, any possible decision I make will be regretted. Whatever I don't do is something I will wonder why I didn't do. For all I know, I could go become an Olympian or whatever, and I'll be an old man going "I could have played all those video games I didn't end up even touching"

Another thing: How do you weigh one with another? Do 70 years of having a great time playing vidya weigh more or less than 20 years of regretting it?

Is that why you're tripfagging? To forge a legacy? Fucking lmao, absolute waste of space. Must be glad you don't play video-games so you can spend that precious un-wasted time on trying to become a Yea Forums eceleb.

Having a trip means I can read through my post history and make internet friends. It makes browsing Yea Forums less irredeemably pointless.

user, that's the entire point of Yea Forums. To be able to say what you think without being eprsecutted for it next thread. A trully equal threatment.
trips are irrelevant if your identity is worthless to the site, you're just being an attentionwhore

We're all attention whores user, even (You).
Besides, only newfags romanticize Yea Forums or anonymity. This place is mostly a shithole and an addictive timewaster

Holy fuck. Literally go back to ribbit.
The entire point of Yea Forums is that it's fucking anonymous, AKA, not a fucking place where you can stalk post history to make yourself feel better about yourself because the person in question made a stupid/angry/racist post 14 years ago.
Fuck you.
