We usually jokes about it, but did your parents or any relative ever mock or shame you for playing too much vidya?
My mother kinda hates any form or electronic entertainment, as a kid if i made her angry enough she could go as far as breaking some of my CDs
Other than that i remember an uncle being occasionally pissy at me because when we visited them i always used to spend time playing games with my cousin, or even alone
My parents adopted the belief that too much vidya is harmful to you so between the ages of 5 and 10 I was only allowed to play for like 90 minutes a day and a maximum of 5 days a week.Needless to say main reason I hung out with classmates was to play vidya at their homes.
>>317583137
Your mother is a faggot, literally wasting money. I hate people that use this kind of discipline.
>DO WHAT I SAY AND NEVER MAKE ME MAD OR I'LL BREAK ALL YOUR TOYS
Is literally the mentality of a 3 year old.
>>317583638
Yep, but to be fair it was mostly pirated games bought either from friends that made them or some immigrant in the streets, 5€ at best
Although she is the kind of person that breaks stuff in general when she gets mad
I used to play wow a lot as a kid and she thought I was fucked up.she was right, fuck you anyway.
>>317583604
>Needless to say main reason I hung out with classmates was to play vidya at their homes.
I know, right
Looking back i guess i was kind of an asshole as a kid. When my friends played videogames it was almost always soccer stuff, which i never liked, so i would just sit in the corner with a gameboy or something instead of actually being with my friends
>>317583604
90 mins a day is pretty liberal, anon. Hell, I can see myself imposing that kind of limit on a child of mine <13. When you're a certain age you can choose to spend your time how you want, but young kids just want to do whatever is easy and grabs their attention when they should be trying new things and learning about the world around them.
>"do this thing you don't know how to do!"
>b-but I don't know how
>"OH? I BET IF IT WAS YOUR VIDEO GAME YOU'D KNOW HOW!!"
>IF YOU'RE TOO SICK FOR SCHOOL YOU'RE TOO SICK FOR VIDEO GAMES
This way of thinking will always be the most retarded shit. Most games are braindead time wasters and somehow, to American baby boomer parents, they are on par in difficulty with math, writing, tests, etc. despite most of these baby boomers not even being able to comprehend basic algebra. Really says a lot about that generation.
My mother use to make fun of me for spending hours on Flight Simulator. Really use to demoralize me.
My father was more supportive on the issue, especially after the divorce.
Eventually found myself at sea 3 months of the year working with underwater drones.
I don't know if Flight Simulator helped me or not, but I get to shove it in my moms face. Especially after she killed herself.
>>317583604
My parents adopted the belief that any vidya is harmful and I could not have any. It was strictly forbidden
I'd go to my friends house or cousins rarely, but used those chances to play some
Later i figured out I could pirate games and hid them enough in the pc so my parents wouldn't find out
At my 16 birthday grandma gave me some money and I sneaked out of school to buyassassin's creed for pc at day1and this was officially my first game
I never bought any other physical pc games, but I keep that one as a little gem
>>317584575
Maybe if parents would actually take kids outside and spend time with them occassionally instead of watching tv and being fat, their kids would be more productive as a result. If a parent needs to impose a time limit on vidya for any reason other than trying to get the kid to do homework/chores, it is probably a problem with how they are parenting.
>>317583137
My mom used to mock me for playing pokemon and said I was too old for that when I was 12. Fuck that, I still play it to this dayor I would if XYORAS wasn't so shit and had nothing to do in them after you beat them, I still play Platinum, Emerald, and occasionally my dead battery cartridges of Gold and Silver.
One evening my parents had some shit to do and since they weren't coming back before late night they asked granma to watch over me
Being old and tired at some point she sat on the couch watching TV and eventually fell asleep, so in the meantime i could do anything i wanted in my room and she wouldn't notice
I wanted to try out the Madagascar game i just got for the Xbox and then i played so much i actually finished it in one sitting
Felt like a king, my mom would've never let me but nobody ever knew about it
Not really.
There were some concerns when they saw SHOCKING documentations about teens playing violent videogames and shooting up schools. But besides that, no deal.
I had trouble proving them that I'm not gay.
>had to french kiss a my first gf in front of my mom
Just because it took 18 years to bring a girl home dosn't mean I'm gay, Mom.

>Parents know I like to play videogames, despite never doing so in front of them, rarley bringing it up in conversation, and listening to music a lot more than gaming
>Constantly try to describe everything with a videogame comparison to me.
I mean, I get it, you're trying to help me understand stuff, but I already understand it, and it's not like I'm incapable of understanding something that doesn't have videogames attached to it. It gets to fucking ridiculous levels. Like I remember one time years ago when my mother asked me
>"Hey anon, I need to fire someone at work, but he's a very aggressive guy and I'm worried he might react badly. Any suggestions on how I should approach the matter?"
>"Well, when you do fire him, you should make sure there's a few other people in the room or near by, just to help in case something goes really badly"

Are your parents literally mentally disabled by chance? Or did they just despise you and got horny from hurting you?
My parents were pretty chill about it.
I remember one time I was playing Hulk Ultimate Destruction (love that game, I should replay it) and my mum was watching when I did that mission where Hulk sneaks into an army base by using a truck like a cardboard box in Metal Gear, she thought it was hilarious.I miss my parents.

sorry for some mispelled shit i did in this post.
>>317586958
My family probably thought I was gay because I didn't bring any females over until I was 24 (26 now). I blame that on my family being vile and disgusting two-faced people, greet you with a smile and then start talking shit as soon as you leave. My parents do this to neighbors, relatives and both of my brother's girlfriends over the years.
I've never invited friends or girlfriends over because I don't want to deal with that bs. I brought my gf over once and I found out how my mom feels about her from my second oldest brother, who talks with her a lot. So yeah, it sucks.
When I was in elementary/middle school I was only allowed 1 hour of videogames a day on weekdays only, this included going on the computer.
I remember I always used it to play Runescape or games on the cartoon network site (I liked to play that beach party one or whatever it was).
Was never shamed for it though, but if I ever got bad grades videogames were always blamed and they'd take a week of them away (including computer use).
>>317587059
Your mom, anon, is what I call is 'askhole'. Don't ever give her advice again because clearly she just wants to insult you.
My experience isn't much different from a few of these stories, but one thing that always pissed me off was when I'd be playin a game and then my dad would decide "this seems like a good time to wanna play Fifa whateverfuckingyear" and demand I stop my game so he could play
>>317588427
Anon, I want you to understand that, if I ever came into a situation where I could choose entire groups of people to wipe off the face of the earth, the first group I would choose would be people like your parents.
I don't know how that makes you feel, but I just felt you needed to know that.
>>317588578
To be fair, she wasn't acting shitty about it or anything. She said it in a sort of joking tone. I don't believe she meant to insult me, I just find the whole thing fucking retarded.
>>317587878
That's pretty awful, I'm glad your ps2 still worked though
>>317583137
My mom knows that me and my younger brother (who's still in high school) play tons of vidya and watch anime and crap, but as long as we get good grades in our courses she lets us do whatever.
>>317587059
People are stupid and more than likely its just to reason to make themselves feel better
>Spend all the time play vidya
'Why don't you make video games'
>Spend all the time in the gym
'Why don't you become a personal trainer'
>Spend all the time studying EMS protocols so I don't fuck up and lose my EMT license
'Why don't you become a paramedic'
I hate people that make suggestions I didn't ask for.
>>317583137
Sure did. To this day I still feel like shit half the time I play vidya, even long after I moved out of my mom's house.
My parents were never that bad with it. When I was really young, my mom went through an anti-shooting game phase. She was telling me I should get rid of GodlenEye and such. That never happened, and no one in my family was really critical of it.
In fact, I remember being really young and bringing my N64 to my grandpa's house. I was playing GoldenEye again and he looked at the screen and shaped his hand into a gun at me and went "Bang!" playfully.
So I guess I was more lucky.
>>317588663
They weren't too bad, though I can understand that somewhat. Nice thing was once I hit highschool they kinda just let me do whatever and learn from my own mistakes. They were and are always there when I need them.
Compared to a lot of people I consider myself lucky I have the parents I do.

>tfw mom disapproves of all your waifus.
>"All you do is play videogames all day, why don't you do something amazing, climb a mountain or become a doctor or something?"
Oh sure, because I'd much rather spend two fucking weeks of my life forcing myself to climb a giant fucking snowing rock for no fucking reason whatsoever and getting frostbite than playing my fun videogames while nice and cozy at home. Yup, I'm sure my life will be totally fulfilled afterwards! Knowing that my fucking toes froze off!
Also, nice logic on the doctor thing. Why didn't YOU become a doctor? Why doesn't EVERYONE become doctors if you think its so fucking good? Maybe not everyone wants to be one? Maybe not everyone wants to waste 10 years of life on intense study just to examine the fucking blistered testicles of 40 year olds?
You stupid fucking cunt.
Why do these people have such a fucking hard time understanding that videogames are fun, and I want to do what I find fun?

She legitimately is.
My parents keep acting surprised whenever I talk about vidya to my brother because they "can't believe a grown man still plays them". And god forbid it comes up with my extended family because I'll just get a man-child and a lecture on how the world is going to shit because of people playing videogames.I am a huge man-child though.
>Mother introduced me to vidya at at the tender age of three

I turned out okay. It's not video games that are causing all of the strange developments in modern children, it's worthless parents who are the problem.
Not my mom, but still relevant

Yeah, but did you do better in school?
I had the same problem except I loved books just as much so no video games just meant I would read.
I would read durning math, read durning breaks, wake up at four in the morning and read for hours when they stole all my flashlights.

A friend of mine during highschool said that his other group of friends thought i was gay because they only ever saw me with him and never with a girl
I'd assume my family thinks that too if not for the fact that once i made my mom drive me to a secret date, as in i initially told her i was supposed to meet some friends but then when she later saw me alone in a different part of town i had to admit that i was trying to reach a girl
Date was a mess too, we met online (fucking MSN) and when i finally got there she was in fucking pijamas. Only walked and talked for a while, never spoke again. I was embarassed as hell when i was explaining this to my parents

My parents tried to get me to stop playing games a couple of times in high school. For whatever reason they thought it was affecting my grades but it wasn't.
And one time a friend let me borrow Gears of War. My mom walked in on me playing and asked me to stop because it was too violent and she was afraid it would make me violent. Never stopped though.
Overall my parents were cool with me playing games. My dad would even play Halo 2 with me sometimes.
My mum and dad never cared. One year my dad got stabbed and his car stolen so he played Mario Kart Double Dash with me and my brothers while he was off work.
Now my dad sometimes plays whatever game I have on my 3ds when I leave it on the sofa to go cook food. I've spotted him twice playing Animal Crossing new leaf (he was fishing on the beach) and Fire Emblem: Awakening (he was fighting a bunch of risen. He got really excited when he levelled up Cordelia.).
My dad had this fixation of trying to beat Gran Turismo's tutorial on the PS1
He never managed, at some point the game always asked to pull a trick he couldn't understand, and since i was a dumb kid i never bothered myself
Sometimes he still asks me if i have a GT game

My dad and me have problems, but he's chill as fuck about me playing games.
My mom however, she would complain, I grew a dislike of playing games when she was home because of that. Even after high school she would complain about me staying up late to talk to friends or play games.A TV I had during high school that got fucked up on the bottom half, because I was a retard and left it on all the time, so it got screen burn-in, she got me a new one later, and clearly blamed my games for doing that, so she told me to play my games on the bad TV, I kindly told her no.

>>317583137

Still do, even though I'm turning 21 in a few weeks. They also get pissed at me for not wanting to go fishing or hunting with them and think I'm just going to stay home and play vidya.
Truth is that I don't spend nearly as many hours playing vidya as I do shitposting here. Also, I read books/manga/watch anime as well, so that takes up a good chunk of time.

You tell me OP.
They've calmed down with it in recent years but still insist that I only care about video games. Everytime I try making them play so they can understand what they're talking about, they're like "I'm too old for this, anon".

Even though they aknowledge that a lot of people in their 40's and even 50's like and play video games, and that video games don't make you violent and autistic after all, they still insist that they're "too old".
They refuse to elaborate too, just "i'm too old". God damn, that's more frustrating than any of the verbal abuse, because they'll end up dying before I could share anything with them. Fuck.

My drunken father would bust in and rip the power plugs off the sockets. I guess he expected I would go out instead or something. What he failed to realise was that it was because of his alcoholism that I escaped to vidya games.

I think its more of I don't know how to relate to my parents anymore. They kinda resent that I don't really rely on them for anything besides dinner and a bed, unlike my two brothers who are adults.

>>317594338
i deleted everything because my fucking work spoace was a mess and i didnt feel like keeping the images, none of them were very remarkable.
So i just said "meh, whatever" and deleted everything.

My parents didn't care because if I was playing games then they wouldn't have to entertain me.

Hey knowledge of videogames is little beyond "you can run around with a gun and shoot things for no reason. story? music? skill? what's that?" I highly doubt she would even begin to understand how a JRPG works, what an RPG is, or that they have a camera from behind the main character.

Almost 20 years old and this is my life. nothing special. but my mother still thinks that my video games are pointless even if i have done some things in the modding scene. At least if theres one thing that i could say about my mother thats nice. is that she teached me how to play a few instruments.Don't worry my mother is kinda nice. as much that i antagonize here.

Dad used to play games like fifa and some fps games like medal of honor airborne and call of duty 2.
He stopped playing games altogether after I started highschool and hates it when I play games. I'm sure he has his reasons but it was kind of sudden and weird.

Every time. Nothing good could come of them seeing me playing games so I just let it go. Some of you don't understand, and that's fine, but my mom seeing me playing games on any day but Christmas or something (where it's expected that I'll be playing with a new gift and not doing something productive) was like a Tumblr whale seeing Senran Kagura; it triggered her so hard and even if she said nothing at the time she'd bring it up later to damn me if I did anything wrong in life ("Oh you didn't do -X-? Probably because you're always on those damn games!"). Dad was better and he bought me all the games in the first place but he could be just as bad if he was in a bad mood. That's why PC was so much better; just minimize the game and pretend to be doing homework or something.
>>317594114

my parents absolutely forbade it
the only reason we had a NES was because my aunt and uncle bought for us for christmas over my parent's objection but because my aunt and uncle made such a big deal out of it at a christmas party that they hosted my parents eventually gave in
my parents tried to get me to stop playing but they gave up
but no SNES, no Genesis, no more consoles until I found a job, saved up, and bought one for my own (over their objections, but wtf, it's my money)
when I was older and playing vidya they absolutely mocked and shamed me
I don't talk to them anymore and never will again
blessed are those who choose vidya, amen

Most over protectiveness tends to be mothers, and atop of the "Video games are bad for you" a lot of people tend to have families that are divorsed, which means most people get taken by the mom. Which leaves the single parent in a situation where what they think is the only course of action, so most people tend to lose a dad who'm may have brought up better things to do or be so uncaring they got their kids more video games

Battle station was set up on the dining room table between the kitchen and the living room. This was because my step dad refused to let me have my computer in my own room because I "never come down then"
Step dad would make loud grunts to be passive aggressive comments about me playing on my computer.
To the point where he made up excuses that he couldn't watch tv at all because I was always out there despite being in a completely different room.
I couldn't watch my mom play dungeon keeper because according to him that's playing videogames
My mom finally stood up for me and said I could have it in my room, but he still would walk in and just start questioning why I did nothing but videogames all day and how I should play outside.
Mom finally got pissed about hearing me & him bitch.
Told me to lock my door and ignore him, and to find something else to do.
When I was younger my dad would password lock his computer, which was fucking nothing since he just placed it in the "hint" area anyway.
Download WC3 frozen throne and play shit to my hearts content until finally he deleted it all and put "Anon, Not this time" in the hint section

It's not that simple, I'm from a country where financial instability means most people start living on their own when they're in their late twenties and early thirties.

>>317596896
HE HATES IT!
Whenever I'd fuck up as a kid, my dad use to say "damnit anon, always in your little video game land, not paying attention to the outside..." In the most disappointed voice ever.
I guess he thoroughly convinced himself that I was always thinking about vidya 24/7 and that any fuck up I did was because I was too busy thinking about vidya. Fucking "video game land". My parents (especially my dad) hated vidya.
Fuck that shit though, I still play vidya all the damn time and I'm doing fine in life.

My mother never shamed me for playing video games as a kid but I did have limits on how much time I could spend on it and it was usually based on both my behavior and the school reports.
My step-father from back then on the other hand, he was a fucking asshole about it. He literally had no respect for what I was doing.
He would usually turn off my SNES so that he or my half-sister could watch television without giving me any warning.
And not long after I finally got a television in my room, the main one broke and he tried to take my television away from me to put it in the living room. I basically locked my door and told him to fuck off and he went batshit insane. I launched a series of insults and he started yelling in an inaudible manner while trying to break down my door until he got caught red handed by my mother who came back from work.
I have never seen a man being this afraid of a woman in my whole life.

>"you should be studying to be a doctor or lawyer!"

> Have first couple of years paid by parents
> take a couple of years off to go innaarmy due to "wat am I studying for" and sipping the patriotic koolaid
> manage to somehow hide this fact from parents, and make anyone else that knows swear to take this secret to the grave with them. Parents think I was making no progress due to "I couldn't get into my prerequisites and failed a few courses and have to repeat them."
> get out of innaarmy and finish school thanks to GI bill. Any money parents sent is put into a savings account where I eventually have back to them

My parents walked in when I was playing Snake Eater during the scene where Snake and Eva were "wrestling" around the campfire in the cave. I tried to explain it wasn't porn but they both laughed.
My Dad walked in when I was playing Spider-man 2 (after he confiscated it from a kid at his chool, don't remember the context) and thought the the game was rad as shit.
Same for 1080 Avalanche on Gamecube. In fact I think he played that game more than I did and even broke a control out of rage during the actual Avalanche level.
Mom plays vidya on a semi-regular basis but only really likes easy, casual shit like Mario 3D World or Yoshi's Wooly Word. Still actually kind of fun when we play co-op although she will get easily pissed if I don't let her do everything.
Dad also loved playing N64 games. We would always do makeshift co-op where we would both try to stay in 1st and 2nd place and then fuck over the CPU at any given opportunity. Double Dash was based and I'm sad it hasn't returned to Mario Kart.

w-warmin it up for you, baby. ;)
my dad and I used to play 007 goldeneye on the n64, this first and only time I beat him was the latest time he played with me. he would watch me play from time to time, when I played the godfather he would jokingly yell at me that I should only walk and drive everywhere because I would ruin my suit with sweat if I ran.
I miss him so much.

I get so jealous when I hear of people with parents that play video games, especially moms who play Nintendo. I don't know why but that just sounds cool.
My mom only plays Facebook games.
I was the opposite, strangely. I begged my parents to let me play soccer, go to boy scouts, and other outdoor activities and shit. Instead, they refused because it was too much hassle for them.
So instead they made me stay home and I was basically stuck playing videogames growing up.
>>317599881
>outdoor activities
you don't want to be THAT kid
>>317599881
I know how you feel man. I want to play soccer, go to boy scouts, and other outdoor activities and shit too, but my parole officer won't let me. Shit sucks.
I think my parents used to play Tetris Plus on PS1, but then dad died and no more vidya for my mom. I emulated in retroarch a year ago and we played a couple times, she's better than me. I formatted my PC since then, I should set it up again.
>>317585631
They obviously didn't want you equating a day off from school due to illness (which should be about rest) with a day of doing whatever you want, this is pretty basic stuff man
>>317598963
Pretty much yeah. I had to explain all the shitty things he did to me when she wasn't there. The funny thing about this is that he didn't protest at all.
My mother was quite composed for most of the discussion until he spouted a "I wasn't being serious with all that." She got mad like I've never seen her being mad before.
She then proceed to cut the cable television and infantilize him for the last 2 years of their relationship.

>IT'S JUST GODZILLA, MOM
No, seriously, in my early days of porn i only knew that some cheap networks had the naked ladies from a certain hour on
Thing is those cheap networks also aired cheap movies like the Godzilla ones, so often i would fall asleep watching monsters beating each other up but later in the night my parents would hear sex noises and moans coming from my room

Thank you.
I'm so happy for you.

I don't believe you. Even if it was true how fucking uninvested/mentally retarded were your parents to not notice.
>>317599798
It's not really that great. Like I said, she only plays casual, easier vidya like Mario or Yoshi. She can't even handle basic puzzle solving or any problem-solving beyond "GO FORWARD AND TRY NOT TO GET HIT" because her brain is fried from 20+ years of smoking weed nonstop.
God help if we ever want to play Zelda. She constantly bugs me to come in and help her while I'm trying to do other shit and she will "get stuck" on the tiniest of obstacles. She couldn't even figure out what to do with the statues in the Tower of the Gods or even what doors to go in despite a camera pan showing you EXACTLY where you need to go next. I can't even really think of a single vidya she s able to complete without either my help or referring to a guide.

>parents have no problem with my gaming habits my whole childhood

I will never fucking understand this.
Wow I'm so glad i had good parents

I use to get off on those half hour girls gone wild commercials on at like 5am. They were censored, there was only like 3 different versions and I'd always be tired during school the next day, but this went on for like 2 years, every night.
It should be mandatory to give kids private internet access when they reach that age, so they don't get as desperate as I was and sleep through school.
My mother didn't shame me much for playing vidya all the time, because she did it herself. She was always sitting on the computer, playing casual games. It was a way for her to relax after a long day of work.

A lot of parents are retarded and think they're kid will suddenly start shitting out grandchilen as soon they hit 20 despite them not giving a fuck or even discouraging dating beforehand.

>get a's without studying
That was high school. College was mostly b-c.
Eh but whatever, I don't care if you believe me. Yeah you'll meet the best bros you'll ever have if you serve, but don't. Ultimately I don't think it was worth any of it.
>play video games, my father sits on the couch
>he starts masturbating, i look behind, he looks me in the eyes and keeps on stroking
>fix my eyes on the screen and don't dare to look behind anymore or move and wait until he leaves the room
>Start slipping into depression Senior year of high school
>Always had straight A's, played three sports, but also play video games
>Parents constantly telling me how I'm addicted to video games or whatever
>In college go full on depression, put on literally 40 lbs in a year and failing the occasional class
>Parents constantly blaming video games for my grades, doing shit like turning off the internet
>Eventually Dad starts a fistfight with me.
Maybe I'm a bad person or just too lazy when I have to try but I've more or less given up now, I lost 30 of the 40 lbs I put on but even when I put in effort I can't seem to actually learn or accomplish anything anymore.

At least I still ahve vidya as some form of comfort.
