Don't even get me started in your shithole swedish map painting simulations that any 100+ IQ neckbeard can dominate after 50 hours.

We need more D&D and less Fallout. Tabletop roleplaying teaches storytelling, how to deal with the unpredictable, develops creativity and problem resolution outside of the box.

Agreed /r9k/?

>video games are more varied, cheaper and readily accessible than at any point in time

It's good a good time to enjoy them, despite 4chan's bitching. You know everyone wouldn't be going out there to learn a language or skill set if video games didn't exist. They'd just waste their talent on something equally marginal.

I don't regret my time spent playing World of Warcraft or Runescape when I was younger, for me playing those games and being immersed in those environments was one of the pinnacles of my existance so far. Sounds stupid but its true, the feels I got playing that game and the discoveries and experiences I had were amazing.

All the recent post 2012 games have been dogshit though and the gaming industry as a whole is now just churning out bullshit few weeks of content mass normie appeal titles. I no longer get any enjoyment out of gaming and have a lot more time, my biggest waste of time is this site which I plan on cutting out next year in 2016. I'll miss some of the other boards but ever since the shooting spree I feel /r9k/ has gone to the dogs. I guess it depends OP, sure its a waste of time but what is the alternative? I genuinely doubt there was a better alternative that would have provided more enjoyment than Runescape/World of Warcraft for 12-18year old me

Nothing makes you realize what a waste MMOs are like playing on a private server. Hitting level cap in 2 hours and seeing you're still doing the exact same shit will make you swear off the game.

>easily eat up 200 hours from people. To learn a language or skillset you need less.

I don't think 200 hours study is enough to really learn a new language. Most people need much more than that, I'm sure.

200 hours might be enough to learn some basic things like "where is the bus" and "welcome to the party". But it's not enough for being able to hold real, in depth conversations or write papers.

Learning a language outside of English is a fucking waste of time anyway.

Have no idea why people cite this as something important, unless you're including things like maths or advanced professional terms in a broad definition of "language".

>we need more D&D cause muh storytelling

How about instead of pretending to be faggot elves, you have conversations with people and write? D&D is just a simplification of those processes, the same way that many video games are simplifications of tabletop gaming.

OP is less than 20 years old.

I've spent over 9000 hours on Dota 2 alone.

I've easily spent more time than that playing Warcraft 3, another 1000 hours of CS and maybe 500 of Halo 3.

The only game I played in the last 5 months was plague of shadows and like 20 minutes of undertale.meanwhile videogames have inspired me to learn to draw, 3d model and play the piano.
Truth is kids are retarded and if it wasn't for videogames they would be doing even worse. If you want to blame someone blame today's world that doesn't allow them to grow up

What exactly are video games ruining about our generation? How exactly are "skill sets" or "languages" intrinsically more important than completing a video game?

You haven't really described any kind of problem that video games cause. You just listed a couple of hobbies you would rather have people devote your time to as though they are more important.

I don't even play games, I'm just laughing at your stupid argument.
