Are you ever too old for this "hobby".

Aww sweet a twitter nigger thread

Children are just casual scum. They need to gitgud.

>>714848396 (OP)
I haven't played card games in a while but I never saw any issues with people yelling at each other, although the store did have to often remind people not to swear

Pokemon cards were never for children, what a disingenuous nigger.

only the y*gioh players at my lgs are insufferable manchildren

I'm in my thirties and local hobby stores have always been like that
Families always went to the bigger chains

This shit isn't new. Pokemon hasn't been "for children" since Blue Red Yellow. Nintendo still markets it for kids but majority of them think pokemon is for babies and want to play CoD instead. Meanwhile balding 400 pound fatasses are shiny hunting on 20 seperate gameboy advances.

>>714848976
this is pretty much the case with any hobby. families buy cheap garbage from walmart, only sweats go to specialty stores. whether you can hang in one of those places or not is the litmus test for if you'll become a normalfag

>>714848396 (OP)
All cardgames are like this for some reason. Yugioh is particularly notorious for adults stomping little kids mercilessly.

Do actual kids even care about Pokemon anymore?
Highly doubt Pokemon in any form can compete against live service pvp slop, DIY crap like Minecraft and Roblox or dead scrolling on tiktok.
The entire franchise is driven by overspending adults who can't seem to let go.

>>714849336
When I played Yu-Gi-Oh I made a purposefully bad deck to play against children.

>>714848396 (OP)
Scalping niggers are childish by default most real pokemon fans agree that the kiddies deserve to play too.

>>714848396 (OP)
People grow up with their hobby and the hobby grows up with them. MMOs were full of kids when the genre was new playing shit like WoW or Runescape, but now those same people still play WoW or Runescape as 30+ year olds while no new people get into the genre.
This stupid nigger on twitter thinks "OH I KNEW POKEMON AS A KID SO I'LL MAKE MY KIDS LIKE IT TOO" but doesn't realize there isn't any shit like pokemon on tv anymore like we grew up to get other kids interested, the games are only played by those same 30+ year olds because kids just play shit like fortnite or roblox, and the only people still collecting the cards are 30+ year olds who either grew up collecting them or are gambling addicts seeing other 30+ year olds make a lot of money buying them.
There is genuinely no reason for an 8-10 year old today to have ANY interest in pokemon unless they were pushed into wanting to like it by their parents or some eceleb jumping up and down and screaming into the camera when he gets a charizard on youtube.

>>714849495
YGO's TCG nature is so designed to be a one-sided stomp these days, depending on when you go and what deck you use, I always threw the matches if I was winning because it feels bad to stomp people

>>714848396 (OP)
>Are you ever too old for this "hobby".

Before you ask such a question we must first identify if the people involved are hobbiest in the first place. Because there's a lot of scalpers running amok in these hobbies like pokemon cards.

>>714849648
ecelebs and youtube leave a lasting impression on children. You would never think that Five Nights at Freddy's would be considered a "child-like" IP at its release but thanks to Markplier and youtube algorithms millions of kids are exposed to this. Now there's FNAF plushies, birthday toys, and action figures marketed towards kids.

It happened with vtubers as well. Gwar Gura only became massively popular with the youtube algorithm recommending her streams to little children because Gura loves Minecraft.
You know what types of (((people))) pushing these youtube algorithms.

>so was I, but please ignore that

Don't most of these places have a dedicated children's night?
I sometimes donate packs of pokemon cards from the magazines at my church (because safeguarding says we can't give kids TCG cards directly.) to my local card shop because have a under 16s pokemon night as well as a general under 18 game night. Its pretty popular as far as I know and they've also produced 2 MtG under 18 judges.
Might be different because I live in a university city but I'm pretty sure more arcades and such have a dedicated no adult day.

>>714851248
I'm glad someone was able to see the hypocrisy. Stupid people have no self-awareness whatsoever, and that tweet is a good example.
If he went to some gay Pokemon shit with his kids, then he's indirectly enjoying Pokemon. Notice how he feels the need to mention the appearance of the Pokemon fans. That means he was just disgusted by the people.
>overrun with zeroes
Why will his kids be any different, considering they're playing the exact same game. He's just fucking stupid. Those people are like that because their parents were like him.

>>714851326
>Don't most of these places have a dedicated children's night?
For the most part, not any that I've ever gone to. The most you usually get is stuff like Friday Night Magic that is understood to be all-ages and the usual patrons are more "well-behaved," if they ever were even a problem to begin with.

Granted, a lot of stores that can afford now also have a dedicated play area that's more separated from the shop than they used to, and the obese geeks that actually actively wanna play are thus indirectly sequestered as a result, so that may be a half-intended effect. It made so that, often times, the people actually out on the main floor weren't the kind of 400lb balding pizza face slimeballs that are 43 years old, carrying around 4 different Battletech lances so anyone can play with him, and is there for 3 hours every night to play draft with their 110lb friends.

>>714851764
He's buying his kids something. Your parents never took you to a toy store?

I don't think people were really supposed to play yugioh longer than a few years. The game had awful future-proofing and it was clear it was going to get "solved". I think even the creator would've encouraged you to play different games if you could win just based on your starting hand.

Why would you get your children addicted to gambling

>>714848396 (OP)
He kind of has a point but goes too far with it. Losing that inner-child is horrific. But you don't need to be a total fucking loser, either. You can and should be a regular adult who goes to work, picks up a new game in their lunch break, and then keeps that shit under control. Maybe you wear a Zelda t-shirt or something; that's fine. But hanging around in a hobby store all day, likely unwashed, is not the way to go.
It's a similar thing with wargaming. I know a bunch of people who play it, but they basically just get their shit and get out. They don't hang around in the store all day like some kind of lost child.

People go to those stores to play the game, anon. You can't play it with yourself, retard. I spent hundreds of hours painting my orks. I'm going to spend a few hours watching my opponent blast them off the table before I get stuck in.

>>714848396 (OP)
Enjoying video games as a hobby (a couple hours a week and maybe you talk about it with some friends) is perfectly healthy and acceptable at any age range. The issue is that video games are addictive and create obsessive losers. Alcohol and many other things do this too, but people have mostly caught on and thus encourage each other to enjoy in moderation; video games, on the other hand, don’t have the same societal push to be balanced with the rest of life.
The most video games addicts get is being called incels, alcoholics and the like go to therapy or AA or get interventions from their friends

>>714849648
>People grow up with their hobby and the hobby grows up with them.
Anon, the whole secret behind Pokemon's success is that it accepted its revolving door audience instead of trying to grow up with it.

>>714848396 (OP)
His kids got buck broken that early in their lives without even getting touched and he quickly ran to social media while the memory was fresh in his mind to gossip like a little girl acting offended because some loud idiots happened to enter the store at the same time with his family. It's highly possible that his children were complaining about the heat in the car while he was sweating and tippy tapping on his phone about his Lovecraftian close encounter with the mythical unwashed cthulu male horrors.
>daaaad can we go home already
>SHUT UP JUNIOR! DADDY HAS TO VIRTUE SIGNAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!

What do you call this? Bitch-mentality? Classism? Elitism? Why is he so offended? He sounds like he almost called the police but then chickened out at the last moment. How mindbroken by the internet do you have to be in order to virtue signal faux superiority so hard? It's obvious he isn't a normalfag at all.

>>714853389
I'm not talking about the actual game sessions that are hosted. I'm talking about people that sit in there all fucking day, talking to the store staff like that's the only social interaction you get.
I am a super-casuak Warhammer fan (in that I basically get one of those small boxes they have once a year) and every time I've gone in there's been like two people just hanging around like they've got nothing better to do.
It's the same with EB Games (because that's the only dedicated games store left here). I don't mind so much if it's a lonely teenager, but seeing adults in their 30s acting like this is just tragic.
I'm in my 40s and I still love gaming. Hell, I probably love the Bing Bing Wahoo shit more than games I'm "supposed" to, like Call of Duty or Elite Dangerous (or whatever Dad Game). But I'm not going to be hopelessly tragic about it.

Literally EVERY boomer I've seen make that statement ends up dying alone sitting on their sofa with the TV running and zero hobbies. Straight up my grandmother retardified herself because she never took up anything or even socialized, just watched TV watched TV watched TV.

>>714854651
Being TV sitters is the biggest form of gaslighting ever perpetuated on everything past Gen X

Mother 3 had it right, TV Rots your fucking brain because you dont interact with anything, where as Videogames actually tickle your brain slightly enough that you actually stave off dementia doing it.

I had this happen but with cars.

I used to love automobiles, anything automotive, and I used to enjoy working on fixing up cars, repairing them, restoring, you name it.

I even started a business and did well for myself for some time.

But as cars became gayer, and the designs became gayer, and the clients wanted gayer things.

Like rainbow LED lights on everything, wings when not needed, tricking out a Subaru they got from a auction.

I lost all my job, it felt like I was playing in a pile of shit.

>>714854271
Are there more like these? Past halfway, I see a guy falling to the ground, and he immediately gets his stack of boxes picked apart by the other vultures.

I play a different TCG at our local store. Pokemon cards are outselling everything else by a huge margin, but literally nobody is actually playing the game. It's basically the current generation of beanie babies/funko pops.

Too bad you had to see that
Anyways you can buy those cards from me online only 300% mark up your kids will love them

I will never understand why supposedly adult people give a single fuck about what hobbies strangers have. How does some other adult collecting pokemon cards, playing videogames, painting miniatures or whatever the fuck they happen to do have any fucking impact on your life?
Is it just some sort of normalfag instinct to try to moralize and police the behavior of complete strangers? I just don't get it. I genuinely do not give a fuck about anyone I do not personally know and could care even less about what the fuck they do with their free time and money so these types of twitter retards that try to virtuesignal/moralfag about the hobbies of other people are absolutely baffling to me.

>>714857268
If you're over 20 and you're in a gaming store all day on a weekday, you're fucking parasite on society.

>>714856171
You're making it sound more dramatic because no one takes the #1 worldwide drug seriously. They give them the tablet and then they stare at their own phone for 8 hours. No "substance" abuse necessary for absentee parenting. Social media is the drug but unlike physical drugs you can't villify a parent that is just staring at a phone.

>>714848396 (OP)
that reminds me of 20 years ago when I tried getting into mtg in my early teens
went to one tournament at a local store
nothing but fat, smelly, disgusting "men" with the social skills of a bag of potatoes
miserable fucking experience
completely put me off
none of my friends gave a shit about mtg, so I just slowly dropped it

>>714860484
>Is it just some sort of normalfag instinct to try to moralize and police the behavior of complete strangers?
Yes, 100%. This is largely because the majority of people are hylics who had their behaviors policed growing up, did what was expected of them thinking it would bring them happiness instead of just doing what actually made them happy, and turned out to be miserable losers who will spend the rest of their lives resenting that they were too stupid to realize they had any other choice and taking it out on everyone around them who dares to have a modicum of happiness in their general vicinity.

By the time they come to the realization that they could have done whatever they wanted in life, it's too late; they're locked into an unhappy marriage and have kids they can barely afford to take care of, work an unfulfilling job that exploits them for their very soul, and lack the energy to do anything other than slowly fade away on a couch in front of a TV watching sportsball on weekends. In most cases, they never do have that realization, instead withering away while thinking "yes, this is how life is supposed to be, and woe betide any who dare to question or challenge this ideal, especially my children whom I will teach what to do and what not to do while never explaining the how and why of things because I myself do not know."

>>714856328
He's right, retard. Pokemon is the biggest franchise in the world because it's for everyone

>>714861326
Sad state of affairs, but I guess being a herd animal is pretty successful strategy for most of the time, at least reproductively, even if it does not necessarily lead to personal happiness or fullfilment, explaining why such people are the majority.

>>714848396 (OP)

People who bitch and complain about other things that people like are just jealous that they can't find any happiness in anything and trying to tear others down to make themselves feel superior to others while you might have noticed there's a lot of them who spend soo much time attacking people over something they claim to not care about.

It's mainly reverse psychology, trying to convince you that something isn't important so that when they start to invade, infest, and attempt to take away and/or destroy something you'll just be indifferent and not angry and seeking retaliation which is what they fear most because they are cowards.

So I'll continue enjoying the things that I do and have that make me happy while you will spend the rest of your worthless existence miserable, bitter and will die alone, unloved and forgotten!!!FACT!!!

>>714852625
Any hobby is appropriate, but the expectation is that you're supposed to enjoy them vicariously through your own children, because why wouldn't you have children? I did, because that's what was expected of me, and the idea that you're allowed to enjoy life in a different way that I didn't know I could have for myself is deeply insulting on a personal level to me.

>>714852625
