Hey Yea Forums how do you respond when people tell you that your hobby is only for children...

Video games ARE for children. It's okay to like them in spite of this though.

I tell them gaming isn't a hobby, but a form of media consumption, and my hobby is something even more childish.
drawing

Just say you ironically play them.

No one has ever told me this, but I have a well balanced life.

It's objectively a hobby. Read the definition of hobby.

RIP

>He tells people that he plays vidya
Just pretend to be a normal human being you sperg.

Done that many times. Discussed it many times in here.
There's nothing "objective" about the definition, and I will maintain the position that it isn't one. We do not have to agree on this.

>And fuck getting married or have kids
Then get a vasectomy already, or are you too much of a pussy?

>it's another thread where absolute shut-ins still believe all people shun things like cartoons, video games, and TV
>being an adult and still being insecure about your hobbies
get a rope

an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.
"her hobbies are reading and gardening"

Yes there are. Words have meaning, you can't just make up a meaning for yourself and act like that matters. If I pretended green was actually blue I'd be wrong, just like you are in this case.

Your not hanging out with the right people

...

Weed, nicotine, alcohol, prostitution, bank debt, careless ho-hum parenting are all infinitely more childish than video games and normies recoil in abject horror when you point that out to them.

That said OP, if you can't stand up for what you do in your free time, then you shouldn't do it.

His mistake was violating the NAP by going for 3D cunny instead of superior 2D.

I do cummies on their face

Vidya should be a part of that pic. I'm not meme-ing, mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise, and no - sudoku is not going to get the job done in that department.

fuck niggers. lol.

ask yourself if watching netflix, obsessing over sports, getting mad at the news or getting wasted at parties is a better use of your time because I sure as shit bet that whoever told you that has their own dumbfuck activities they waste their time on

The case is that I do not really worry whether you perceive me to be wrong.

Being a pedo is fine, but making children suffer is disgusting

every fucking thing on this earth is a feedback loop if we follow that reductive mindset. everything we do is for some form of stimulation, the moment we lose that ability to interact with our surroundings we go crazy. video games are just one of the many ways we distract ourselves and you don't have to put up with people that shit on you for doing the things you love

>tfw all of these except active romantic and social life
how do you do it bros?

>how do you respond when people tell you that your hobby is only for children, that you need to grow up and be a real man, and stop wasting your time on simplistic feedback loops
Who the fuck even cares enough to comment on someone enjoying video games, let alone go on a pathetic rant? this is the cringiest shit i've ever read

heavily depends on what kind of vidya, and most modern vidya is definitely not mentally stimulating

you'd be better off saying something like chess

It's not a matter of perception. It's a matter of fact. And I don't say that often. You're claiming 1+1=3 because you feel like it does. Find a new word to describe what you mean, because you're using this one wrong.

"meaningful hobby" "productive hobby" try those.

Keep trying until you succeed.

I bet daddy is mad at him because he's 23, jobless, and plays video games all day.

you know what else is only for children?

Attached: smugdragon.gif (600x560, 200K)

It certainly is a matter of perception.
A matter of cultural habit, etymology, morphology, linguistic adaption, and semantics as well.

>mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise
If you have a good career, it will be mental exercise anyway.

>Try a "no real scotsman" fallacy.

No thanks.

BASED and redpilled

No it's really not. If every dictionary I can find agrees, and you disagree then guess who is wrong. You're being obtuse because you used a word wrong and now you want to make it an anything goes situation.

if that's the case his father is right, when my mother used to make this kind of malicious comments about me i just bantered back, when it started to anoy me i just got a job, OP needs to grow some balls.

Here's the thing though, dictionaries do not agree with you. They are written by people who observe the use of the language, not people who dictate it, and I've yet to see ANY dictionary that actually included video games in their examples.

Either way, I do not consider playing videogames a hobby. And whether you consider me an idiot for that isn't really an issue to me.

>wasting time and money on an unnecessary procedure

You stop being a Wojakshitter at that point, OP. Or just kill yourself.

>not impregnating every woman you meet then vanishing
sure smells like sóy here

They all have the bar for hobby set incredibly low. Something you do often and enjoy is a low barrier for entry dude. You artificially raised it because hobby has some sacred status to you. I work out, that's a hobby, I read that's a hobby, I play video games that's a hobby.

is watching TV a hobby? Is reading a hobby? Is Yea Forums a hobby?

Self-sterilizing is the most cucked thing a "man" can possibly do.

Yes. If you do them regularly and enjoy them.

No, no, yes.

Why, if he already has kids and doesn't want more it seems smart to me.

I think the most likely scenario is that nobody said it, OP packaged an insult into a story about someone insulting him as a way to try and subtly insult you, the reader, by association. In other words, it's a shitpost for (You)s.

I never said that you couldn't consider it a hobby.
I just don't.

literally who

They're right.
When I realized how games media is full of THEM, I understood that vidya is a social engineering tool to deflect human initiative.
I still play it though.

I'm telling you you're wrong. You're saying water isn't wet.

I'm telling you that I don't perceive the matter that way at all.

Every kid you don't have is diminishing the effectiveness of your lineage.

fuck other peoples opinions, in the end they're so insignificant when you think about it, don't let jews and normies shame you, you've only got 1 life

Find a single definition that is as restrictive as yours and I'll let up. I couldn't when I looked. Otherwise you're just wrong and stubborn.

>the effectiveness of your lineage

>Yay! My dad's y-chromosome passed through me and on to a bunch of other smelly stupid humans!

>This proves something!

Having two kids you give every opportunity is better than having a dozen that end up fucked because you couldn't father them. Do you want your family name associated with crime and poverty?

I never attempted to force my definition upon you, and I don't care whether you let up or not. I also do not care if you perceive yourself to be defeating me in an online argument.

I'm forcing THE definition on you. That's how words work dude.

>haha you still play videogames user? Arent you like 25 now?
>haha good one stacy arent you 27 and a single mother to 2 interracial niglets?

Gamers rise up.

It absolutely is not how words work.

not the guy you're replying to but that's the most reddit nu-male post i've seen in a long time

I look at the hobbies of most people around me and they spend all their free time in bars getting drunk every second they're not asleep or at work.
Both playing video games and drinking away are both a waste of time. The difference is the later has a positive stigma because, according to my dad and his friends "It's what adults do."

you seem pretty bitter at your dad and his friends

We have only the fun we create ourselves.

There's taking a weird interpretation and then there's just being wrong. If you said water wasn't wet you would be wrong. Same thing here.

I don't think your dad would claim that drinking with his buddies is a "hobby" of his, though.

I disagree on a fundamental level.

>tfw failed at all of these except financial planning

I rarely play vidya anyway

I've been getting on top of that one over the course of the past year.

Finally out of debt and have reasonable savings earmarked for things I care about.

You'd be wrong then. Do you think your interpretation of words matters if no one agrees with you?

Yes.

Stop playing video games and work. Goyim were created to be slaves. Work, slaves. WORK. Video games are a luxury and only the chosen people deserve luxuries.

That's a fucking cop out and you know it.

If anyone actually says this to you, ask them how much time they waste on netflix and facebook. Most people are even shittier than your average vidya "addict", they only say this shit because they completely lack any sort of awareness at all.

Attached: 1564640924930.jpg (228x320, 21K)

Stop giving a fuck what anyone else thinks. No seriously.

Me thing good because is ME thing and me good. Not me thing bad because is not me thing. You no exactly like me, you bad. Unga bunga.

You're wrong then. They're a tool for communication.

I don't see how one statement rules out the other.

tell them that believing that their facebook acquaintances to be real friends is childish and pathetic. follow it up with the fact that their life is bland and empty, and mostly consists of staring at a phone or a tv screen and yelling at some random cashier at a store as if the cashier cared about them.

This. At least vidya requires a modicum of IQ and skill, most people waste their time in asinine shit.
>b-but i have a wife and a family
Unless you're rich your kids will be worthless and you're just a wagecuck loser who is already dead, it's not all that different.

Video games create shooters and twitter is causing literal tranny fascism. You must stop for a second and grow up and open your eyes.

Aren't these all just feedback loops too?
>eat healthy
So you can work and make someone money

>get a job
So you can make someone money. You owe your part to society so work or die.

>get a wife
So you can create children and continue the scheme

Big true

You can't assign your own personal meaning to words and expect to have effective communication.

Sure, but in a sense, they're part of the multiplayer game with the highest skill ceiling ever.

Video games are (most often) designed specifically to be feedback loops the human mind will map more easily than reality.

You absolutely can.

Just play games without simplistic feedback loops, dude.

You're a dogshit communicator then. Or you have to preface everything you say with "oh by the way I just make up meanings for words XD"

Not all feedback loops are inherently negative. They just are when the fruits of those loops are degenerative in nature. Bad diet, bad sleep, lack of any physical interaction with your environment whatsoever, leave negative imprints on your physical health; complete lack of productivity (hobbyist or career), social interaction, and financial management leave negative imprints on your mental health.

Stop hanging with 60 years old, everyone I know that's around 30 play videogames

i tell them im a gamer not a hobbyist and that mostly shuts them up

By having actual genuine hobbies as well and talking to other people about them instead about video games

>OMG tiffany, i just watched the whole season of GoT last night in one sitting
>OMG LOL you go girl that show was the BOMB

>yeah i played vidya for like maybe two hours last night and went ot bed since i was so tired
>llol loser
i just degrade their actions with their hobbies, this is just a basis on what you can do and where you can go with this conversation
it's quite easy and since normal people care about those things they start to feel threatened and insecure and probably will never talk about how they spent a whole evening eating chips and watching some knights on horses and neakked girls

Whatever you say.

He wasn't depressed though?

spoken like a true khv incel

Then why was he suicided?

Everyone and their fucking mom watched GoT. It is as normie as watching football...trying to shame people for it doesn’t work, they’ll just think you’re the weirdo or just an asshole at best

He "beat himself to death" because he was an inconvenient loose end.

How dare you.

I do the water and sleep schedule well enough. Still feel like absolute shit.
Guess the other five are the most important

Which is what you'd be if you shamed someone for playing video games as well, since everyone does it.

Call him a faggot.

Pick up another hobby that you don't feel embarrassed to tell other people about. I never tell people that i play videogames in my spare time

You were probably told that because you play vidya 12 hours a day, and struggle to maintain normal conversation without talking about vidya. You’re also probably unkempt, out of shape, and maybe just ugly.
