Wasted? More like enjoyed. Ten years ago I was a hardcore WoW raider and those three years and almost 10k hours feel like a complete hole in my life. Same goes for other periods I was consumed by vidya entirely.

My time having anime/nip games, manga etc as a primary hobby has allowed me plenty of productive time in the other hand; you can easily juggle multiple hobbies with it. After all anime is not that taxing; it only is really heavy for the first year or two while you are marathoning old shows all the time to catch up to speed. After that it's what, a few hours a week for current season. Vidya is actually far more time consuming and is designed to always be so; anime you taper out and cruise lazily along hitting up whatever strikes your fancy without having to worry about keeping up some online rank or spend hundreds of hours grinding RPGs just to finish them.

The problem with the passage of time and aging isn't so much that you're getting older, it's that everyone else on the internet seems to stay the same age.
What's the average age of the average shithead on the internet, 15?

When I was 15, I spent my time talking to 15 year old shitters on the internet. When I was 20, I spent my time talking to 15 year old shitters on the internet. When I was 25, I spent my time talking to 15 year old shitters on the internet. One day I'll be 30 and I'll be spending my time talking to 15 year old shitters on the internet.

We really need to convince Hiro to make a retirement home board on this site where only people born before the 90s started are allowed to post on.

As people have mentioned, the benefit of the medium is that it rarely creates the same time sink videogames (what everyone else is doing) do. How many haven't wasted their entire youth playing 10h WoW a day? How many have wasted their youth watching 10h anime a day? The latter is a negligible number. It's taxing watching anime for prolonged sessions. It's not like games where your brain is constantly rewarded and urged to go on. Generally an hour or two is preferrable for most people. And that would hardly be called addiction or detriment to one's health. I guess the actual detriment would be not only watching anime but also spending a lot of time talking about anime on the Internet. It's easier to be on the Internet. It barely requires any attention and since it's pseudo-social, it's less tiresome to our reward system. Another detriment would be acting like a sperglord and not being able to separate anime from reality. But that applies to all media.

Reading this thread, it seems like many didn't start to watch anime seriously until they were in their 20's. Doesn't surprise me since that's about the age where you've already experienced the best in games and movies.

There was a study that said anime and coding basically attracted the same kind of people.
So when you hang out with anime fans, you'll run into lots of programmers and hackers, and even if you aren't into that sort of thing it's probably going to rub off on you.
>>
>>133387732
Could you find the source?

It seems kind of logical that programmers and people who watch anime correlate to some degree, since both spend a lot of time in front of a pc, but this is the case for gamers as well.

You don't compare 150 to 20 it's just a title, you know the meme about someone calling himself an anime expert because he watched 20 mainstream anime.

We need to remind the newfriends that 500+ is considered to be well-versed by /a/ standards. 200-300 is simply enough to probably not be a complete newfag aka maybe nominal to us, but even at this level you can find people who still have no idea what they're talking about because there are industry and community things you do not learn just from marathoning random series nonstop.

I was going to uni, had a job, and also forced myself to make friends and get a girlfriend. I had less time then than I do now as a hikki who barely scrapes by via online freelance jobs

It was the first time I had true freedome thanks to making money, and having a vehicle, and for the most part setting my own time management. Id say thats more useful freedom than parents telling you when to be back by and what you can/cant do or go or spend money on (if you even have any).
>>
>>133389546
I'm 38 and have two normalfag friends that live with their parents. They're 31 and 35, neither are nerds nor use 4chan.

The majority of people I know though have their own properties by this age. Living with your parents at that age is pretty much the "I chose the wrong career path and went back to school at 30" or "whoops I'm divorced and don't have a house anymore".

Depends on where you are how home ownership applies. I know in Kansas or whatever you can buy a house for like 30-50 grand, and 100k will get you practically a mansion. In nor cal a fucking run down shack in San Fran is like 1.1mil. Expensive even for techies making 100k.

>Is there an effective way to maintain that population while keeping others out?

A question that has been beaten to death over and over (and over) and never resulted in any tangible solution other than "post creatively, complain less". Complaining about daytime/summer /a/ used to be a popular thing, but most posters realized there are more constructive (and less vocal) ways to combat shitty posters/underage faggots.

Our solution is the same now as it was back then: be 4chan and be fucking WIN. There is no shortage of anime discussion communities, but there will never be a place quite like /a/. To this end we erect our barriers such as inside jokes, cruel humor, general 4chan faggotry etc etc. We're faggots, but we're faggots together, and nothing will change that, not moot leaving, not the perpetual influx of newfags, etc.
