why do you play video games?
>>
I'd call it "stimulation"
>>
Because real life sucks a bag of dicks
>>
>>320860117
to run away from my horrible life
been a neet since i was 13 and i'm 26 now
>>
>>320860117
to pass the time until I can sudoku
>>
>>320860117
Because I'm bored and have nothing else to do.
>educate yourself
I'm already at Uni, I'm not going to spend all of my free time studying like an autist.
>>
Because they're fun. Because I'm not the most social person and don't really go out, I just prefer to sit down on my couch and fire up some vidya. Because video games allow me to experience things I normally wouldn't, like playing through WW2, or fighting in space, or piloting fighter jets, or racing cars, etc etc.

Video games are fun.

What? You can't even classify as a neet until you're at least 18.
>>

bieng a 13 year old highschool drop out is something else dude

>>320860534
Maybe he left school

>13
>high school
wut
>>
>>320860117
Because I enjoy them
>>
>>320860117
The same reason people watch TV or movies or read books/comics.

To have fun. To be entertained. To unwind and shut my brain off for a while. It's also fun to overcome challenges and solve puzzles every once in a while or compete against others.
>>
Because life is shit.
Tomorrowland was right.
>>
>>320860810
>>320860849
Yeah but nobody holds you to any kind of standard until you're 18 or so.

Would you say a newborn baby, all the way up to their first day of Kindergarten is a "neet"?
>>
I don't

I just can't leave ;-;
>>
>>320860864
>1-5 no school
>6-12 elementary
>13-18 highschool
???

I want to escape right to his boipussi if you catch my drift.

I have nothing else left. What else can a friendless, handeheldless, kissless 23y old virgin who is planning on taking 4-5 years for his bachelor do in his ample free time? Keep in mind I have no motivation to do anything nor do I feel strongly about anything.

But I don't, unless you consider VNs and korean grindfests video games.

Escapism. And Marche apologists can go fuck themselves.

IS NOT HEALTHY
>>
>>320861320
Every place I've been on the east coast of America has i

5-10 elementary school (grades k-5)
11-14 middle school (grades 6-8)
15-18 high school (grades 9-12)
>>
For fun, though lately many games seem to be testing my resolve.
>>
Because I don't have any other hobbies.
>>
>>320862006
escapism is a shitty reason to play a vidya game
immersion is not real
>>
>>320860117
This isn't even a valid question. Why does anyone do any hobby?
>>
>>320862139
Life isn't healthy, it always ends in death. If you want to have the philosophical argument of "what should life be used for", you can, but no one has to respect your opinion.
>>
>>320861885
I knew someone would say this but it's a disingenuous point. You don't criticize a fucking 4 year old for these things.
>>
>>320862376
But tou agree that the child is technically a neet? Nobody even implied that the child should be criticized for it until you did. You literally knocked over a strawman.
>>
>>320860117
Real life is pretty gay and boring, unless you get lucky and become rich. Video games are just a way to get away from from it all.
>>
>>320862539
>But tou agree that the child is technically a neet?
No, because the whole point of being a neet is that you say it to someone who should have a job or be in school or something. You don't criticize a child for not having a job, that's retarded. Or maybe you do do that? I don't know.
>>
>>320860117
Well, you posted it

>Life isn't healthy, it always ends in death.
So only an inmortal being can be healthy?
>>
>>320860117
They are fun.

They offer the most amount of fun for my buck. You also get that sense of achievement and progression when you finish games and move on.
>>
>>320860117
Escapism in small amounts is perfectly healthy.
>>
>>320860117
too much free time

I actually disagree. Modern education blows. You aren't actually taught anything of value anymore in school anymore. Rather than actually teaching kids valuable life skills, giving them experience, training them to be a self-sufficient adult, etc. it's just a very feminine system of indoctrination and submission.
>>
I'm inspired by the great stories in tv/books/vidya. Sometimes I get this uneasy feeling I should red pill myself and leave everything behind. Thank god it's gone the next day.
>>
>>320862140
There are some smaller towns that don't have a middle school. Not sure why, but my town was like that.
>>
>>320860117
Escapism, fun, too much free time, etc.
>>
>>320864574
I say it's more of a prison that teach kids to past a retarded test that determine how much the school get paid. Fuck Bush and the no kids left behind bullshit
>>
it's a fun hobby and the cheapest form of entertainment available
>>
You should escape my healthy dick Marche.
Take off your pants.

>>320862140
My town didn't have a middle school.

I stopped playing video games a long time ago. But I'm here forever.

Too shitty to keep friends
Passes time
Some games are genuinely enjoyable
Don't have many other hobbies
Lack ambition
>>
Because I am too poor to buy miniatures and paints to paint them.
>>
It's a stimulating activity that helps me unwind at the end of the day. That and meeting people through games is fun.
>>
>>320862140
Small towns have a composite high school that combine both. Hell, some small towns in Canada havr k-12 schools.
>>
Fuck you Marche

I play games because I like them. When I like something I do it. When I dislike something I don't do it.

I have so much free time that I can do everything I want.
