why are men dropping out of society and playing video games?

Bing bing wahoo

Why don't people read the rules?

>>507690317
Vidya is political since Gamegaters elected trump and marxists infiltrated and subverted vidya

>>507690378
That’s a pretty oversimplified take. Games reflect culture, so of course they’ll intersect with politics but blaming one group for electing a president or claiming a full subversion by another is just turning a complex industry into a battleground for internet drama. Let's not reduce "vidya" to a pawn in ideological warfare.

>>507690440
Vidya is not a pawn. It is a last glorious bastion of the male spirit. A rook, if you will.
>>507690578
faggots like these will tell you that vidya is unimportant and that Andrew Taint has blessed them to become the negroneo and fight the matrix by retaining their semen while he rapes some eastern euro's daughter and films it.

Work gets you nowhere. Might as well game until you can't and then just die. Why contribute to society, you can't even buy a house anymore, women are undatable, social security won't even be around when we're old. The whole thing is just pointless. Bing bing wahoo is just a slower form of suicide than heroin

>>507690199 (OP)
You can win video games. The rules are fair

>>507690199 (OP)
You should instead ask, "Why is society making men want to drop out and play video games instead of getting them to participate?"

>>507690756
That’s a heavy perspective, and I won’t sugarcoat it a lot of people quietly feel echoes of this. The system does feel rigged. Wages stagnate, housing’s out of reach, dating is a mess, and the future looks like a joke no one’s laughing at.

But here’s the thing: you’re still here. So either you’re waiting for a reason, or deep down, you’re still hoping something matters. And that’s not weakness that’s defiance. That’s grit.

“Bing bing wahoo” might feel like slow suicide, but maybe it’s also a quiet rebellion. A way of saying, “Screw your broken system, I’ll find my own joy.” Maybe that’s games. Or art. Or making something that feels real when everything else feels fake.

Work doesn’t have to mean grinding for a system that chews you up. It can mean building something you own — even if it’s small, even if no one else claps.

So yeah, the world’s cracked. But if you’re still breathing, you’ve got the option to write your own script even if the one they gave you is garbage. And that’s something.

Who the fuck drops out of society play video games in 2025?

Gaming peaked like 20 years ago

Society is cancer and people want out. You niggers wanted men out of society and now you faggots are whining about it

Honestly, I wish I played more video games rather than watch the world go to shit due to the greed and stupidity of our child raping satanic elites. Who may or may not literally eat people

>>507690199 (OP)
Because society sucks and there's no reward for trying hard as a white man.
>>507690919
You can still play games from 2005.

>>507691218
since they added steam workshop support you can obsessively curate your perfect half life 2 play through mod package and never actually play it all the way through

>>507691367
no one plays unreal tournament 2004 :(

>>507691538
the half life 2 campaign is like 8 hours dude, what are you talking about, I can finish it in one night. Are you still posting with chatgpt again? That's what I do with skyrim usually. I did finally get around to beating alduin on my 800+ requiem modlist though, brought me childlike joy it did.

>>507690199 (OP)
Houses are too expensive, even high paying jobs can’t afford them. Might as well game all day

By kikes, you mean lazy entitled goys who think school and work are too much effort.

>>507690899
i will take your chatgpt bait, people continue because subconsciously we know you can keep humans locked in a stagnant age forever. eventually natural human forces or entropy will destroy this system because its so unnatural. the amount of financial fuckery that has to happen every year to keep this system "going" its astronomical.

dudes are just playing video games to kill time because its the cheapest and healthiest way to keep yourself from going insane.

No I actually do this. I will put together a modlist and play a couple of chapters from either HL2 or EP2, can't stand EP1. Wait a few weeks and see what is new and repeat.
A few weeks before they released workshop support I had two weeks off work and played the entire series HL1 and expansions through HL2 plus Back Mesa. So I'm Half-Lifed out and just like to tinker with it.

I broke my joystick

>>507693259
Fair enough. I haven't messed around with the workshop too much, I saw a lot of "silly" stuff on there that didn't really interest me. But if we're talking mods, I almost always play the campaign with mmod now. For a new experience, I really enjoyed "mission improbable", feels almost official quality, you can tell the author knew how to work hammer editor to the max.

Life sucks, you can put a bunch of effort into it and it won't do shit.
With games you may never become great or even good, but at least you'll have fun doing it.

>>507690199 (OP)
Because it is fun.

>>507690199 (OP)
Because men wake up sooner and realize life is a sham. Born in a shitty situation. Live a shitty situation forever. Unless you're jewish or super wealthy, your life is over before it started. No political bullshit will ever change any of that.

we don't live in a free market economy anymore where you can get ahead through hard work and talent. People now get placed into their position. Medical school became a rite of passage for rich kids for example where you just have to be present to pass. In a game the rules are usually fair minus cheating and exploits.

>>507700690

I can forgive the women and kids, but not grown men.

that’s a heavy perspective

>>507690199 (OP)

real life is in a trashy state, so men are escaping to the virtual world.

economy? never been more rigged, salaries never been such a small part of the monetary base vs assets.

relationships? women cost benefit the worse in history

society reflecting the will of men? Pfft

environments for men ? the pleasures of organizing to do something bigger? destroyed

public spaces? femine imperative

things is it s not exactly easy to quit IRL so many still do the bare minimum but the state of the game is abysmal

historically men's main motivator was his family now the deal is so shit there s nothing to motivate many to eat shit

>>507693259
wouldn’t you just goof around with gmod’s workshop instead and play through half life 2 or other source mods that way?

>>507701046
It shipped with a wrist strap, but it didn't lock so it slipped off fairly easily. You could contact Nintendo and get the new ones sent to you free of charge.

>>507701436
i never understood the “wii mote is dangerous” craze. i was flailing that fuckin thing around like no one’s business and all we had was the condom for the included controller. i never broke shit or took my friends teeth out playing tennis

>>507690252
/thread. Gen Z doesn't game. Imagine working all day just to go home and cope some more. The only people who game are millennials with good jobs and $$$$$$$ lmao, I can't afford my fucking bills. Wow let me just sit there and waste time even though I'm tired and can just fall asleep. Wow bro video games. Must be nice to have such an easy fucking life you get to go home and put a pacifier in your brain and just widdle away hours you don't know what else you'd do with.

Gen Z isn't gaming when they drop out. Gamers are retards with plenty of money and time which Gen z doesn't have.
>>507690378
Millennial cope. gamergate was a nothing burger and if it motivated you to stop being a libcuck then you're still a libshit at your core. NOTHINGBURGER when you can't get a good job and will never be able to afford a home and you need to work 50 hours a week just to survive. Like I don't give a shit about your games, they ruined society before they ruined your stupid shit that's for sure. imagine having the audacity to complain to zoomers when you got a millennial house, boomer parents with inheritance, and a $5000 gaming PC, like bro the more you keep running your mouth the higher the chances I'm going to smash your PC. face it retard, you know if things got worse you would side with the millennial fag devs over zoomers because their easy lifestyle is more relatable to you and they game so it's basically a sports ball team difference between you and them vs us where we working at Walmart and Amazon for NOTHING money and can't relate to having a moments repose to do a stupid frivolous activity with free time.

This morning I had violent diarrhea just as I walked into a work meeting. I literally gushed down my pants, which were a light beige color, so the stain really stood out, but worse it got all over the floor right in front of everyone. One guy yelled out "HOLY FUCKING FUCK DUDE YOU JUST CRAPPED EVERYWHERE!" Some bitch tittered, another one screamed "WHAT THE HELL!" Like sure it was unusual but its not like I strolled in there holding a severed baby's head. Why do they have to make such a big deal and be so fucking loud? They all stood around looking at me with disgust. Then some cunt went down the hall telling everyone "Hey, Anon just shit his pants!" Next thing everyone else in the office was rushing in to take a look.
At this point I knew my life was over. They would never let me forget this. So I just dropped my pants down to the knees, crouched down and continued to explosively empty my rectum onto the air, I sort of hopped around in a circle while unloading. I even pretended it was like a rodeo and I was riding a bull, swinging an imaginary cowboy hat and yelling "YEEEHAWWW!" Shit flying everywhere. Jesus Christ the stench was so bad I nearly choked.
I blame Trump.

i had a reproducted Duke controller for my PC (essentially, just a regular xbox one / PC controller with a Duke shell). it was fantastic, and i dont have overly big hands for a guy. but the playstation or even newer xbox form factor is so tiny. shame the fucking thumbstick button broke (crouch button) and i couldn’t solder the little nub to press the button back on, other than that the build quality was great, that thing fell off my desk for years and never had a scratch. you could beat a mans head in with the duke controller and play competitive halo like nothin happened

>why are men dropping out of society and playing video games!!!?!?

>>507702610

i remember hearing the xbox did not sell well at all in japan because it was westerner but also because the OG xbox at launch only had dukes which were fuck off huge for little asian teenager and even adult male hands.

Early 2026 is the best estimate we have. Just check #ValveDeckard on X.

I don't have noticeable large hands either, but Nintendo Wii and switch controllers are ridiculous. And yes, they feel weightless.

>>507693237
Of course it's a curvy bimbo who gets taken seriously. Everyone else gets gaslit. Fucking shit. Just another reason not to work, kek.

for me it's all the retarded useless bureaucratic gatekeeping whenever you try to do literally anything at all in western society

Society is for those who own things. I rent and work minimum wage.

Can’t get a decent job. Can’t get a decent, virgin wife. It’s that simple.

>>507690199 (OP)
The whole thing is a trap. Problem-solution trickery.

>>507690440
Correct. They have people arguing over media and a medium. The whole AI art thing and terrible dating landscape has dudes wishing they were jacked into the matrix, with a robo gf. They already got played. Turned them into bug people. It's how they play both sides. They get leftists to act retarded and rightwingers to act retarded then use the problems they created to corral people into boxes designed by them. There are other options, but they only present two.

>>507690934
This is pure propaganda to demoralize you. There are options other than game or get married to some whore. Not to mention how Jewish these kind of memes are. As though every White girl has black kids. The left is fucked, but so is the right. I'm sick of cowards trying to completely demoralize everyone.
