I failed, /v/. My little brother just told me he wants to be a Youtuber when he grows up. All he wants to do is play Minecraft. I should have played with him more.
He'll outgrow it.
Just abort him OP
Other people's bad decisions are your fault. Why did you make such a bad decision for them?
Minecraft? Don't worry, thats not that bad, especially if he's very young. He'll probably turn out alright.
Knock some sense into him instead of crying like a bitch here
Good, maybe he'll actually make money and be rich unlike your neet ass.
>>332114405
Kill him.
>>332114562
Its not as simple as that anon, I have a brother who just turned 19 and he hardcore pewdiepie fan.
He likes and watch all his videos, and he says people watch him for who he his not his content.
>>332114405
I had shit dreams as a kid too. I wanted to be pro skateboard rider.
Eventually reality sets in. That fucker will get a normal job like us eventually. Let him dream while he's still young and stupid.
hahahhaha
I thought that south park shit about kids who would rather watch pewdiepie play games than play them themselves was exaggerated but it is true
Slap that shit outta him. The current number of youtuber space wasters is beyond enough.
>>332114920
>I have a brother who just turned 19 and has autism
FTFY
>>332114405
or you should have molest him less
>>332114405
Slap him for it. Not because he wants to be a faggot ass youtuber, but because he's trying to get into an already oversaturated market.
Teach him to try to find a market in something untapped, the uncreative faggot.
>>332114405
Nigger, when I was a kid, Pokemon had just become the biggest fad. Adults didn't have a fucking clue what that shit was about. All that's happening is that now you're one of those adults who doesn't understand what the fuck Pokemon is about.
Your brother's going to be fine. When I was a kid I wanted to do science and surgically modify real animals to turn them into pokemon. At least his dream won't get him sent to child psych.
>>332114920
Is he a functioning member of society?
I mean, at the end of the day, as long as he's still functioning like a normal person, it's not too bad.
>>332115109
Kids don't have money to get games. Remember when you were 10 and wanted that game but your mom said no? Well it's 2016 and you can watch that game on youtube for free.

Nope he went to university just to have an excuse to not work.
and he likes touhou and shiet.

Quit projecting your failure onto everyone else. Get off /v/ and do some job applications or something

>>332115994
I can see myself in your little sister, too.
>>332114405
Literally drinking bourbon right now because my marriage is falling apart.
The worst part is thatI think she wants my Virtual Boy.
>>332114920
I don't see a problem, its on-par with liking something like Arthur. Both are aimed to entertain kids.
>>332116139
>>332116161
Dammit, I already knew I made a mistake there
>>332115109
OP here. I thought it was a meme too, but it's real. I let him try the original Sonic because he was interested from Sonic Boom show and he got bored within a minute, then he proceeded to watch a Sonic made map in Minecraft played by some British Youtuber.
>>332116292
So? It's a means to the same end. Having fun with games.
Get the fuck over yourself, oldfag.
>>332115994

> see myself in my sister
Could be worse. My brother started watching anime. Within a year he joined an anime club, got a furry girlfriend and dropped out of college. He rarely speaks to people anymore and when he does he only talks about anime or Japan.
>>332116680
>anime club
Is this seriously a thing?
>>332115994
>tfw no sister to see myself in
>>332116680
How the hell did that happen in such a short time span?What did he watch?
>>332115867
>Quit projecting
You mean like you what you're doing right now? Are you struggling to find a job? It's ok if you are. You just gotta keep trying. Hang in there.
>>332116801
Trust me, it's nothing like your chinese cartoons.

Get off the computer, we got bananas to microwave.
>>332115402
>>332116798
In America it is.
>>332116867
Things got worse when he joined the club. Then his social life revolved around anime. From his long boring descriptions of the shows they watched I guess they just picked a new show each week and watched it in the club. I remember hearing about some show with magic girls in high school. Something about cthulhu being a little girl. And that one with the giant people with no skins, Attack on Titan? He described others but I don't listen when he talks about anime. They all sound the same after he's described a few.
>>332115994
so you wear girls underwear and such or is it the otherway around?
>>332116976
Bananas?
>>332116798
Bless your soul for being innocent. If you're up for it, just take a look.

>>332117437Jelly
>>332115620
>he likes touhou
Oh, yeah, that's a serious case of shit taste. Don't bother.
>>332117495
When I saw this for the first time was when I realized that I should be very very quiet about enjoying anime.
>>332117250
>>332117250
Those are all pretty casual shows, but that doesn't fully explain things.
Was he socially inept to begin with? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if something like an anime club had a profound effect on him
>>332114405
This is why I introduced my kid to the classics when he first showed an interest in games.
>>332117495
>Italian
>School Clubs literally don't exist outside of some late extra school lesson for extra shit>Also because that we don't have any money for this kind of luxuryI just clicked Embed and i really cringed enough for the rest of the weekend
But i also feel great that stupid shit like this doesn't exist in this countryI don't even watch animes, just one series every 2 years
>>332115620
>he likes to touhou
so he's a full blown aspie
>>332114405
He'll probably earn more than you. How does it make you feel about the world and life in general?
I'm gonna be an uncle soon. How do I stop this little shit from turning into the millennials of today? I don't think my sibling understands how his liberal shithole of a city is going to ruin him(her?)
>>332117610
Middle america is a beautiful place where everyone wears cloths from the 90s and is filled with hateful rednecks and Uber autist. It's really something you must see once in your life...or just watch it on youtube. Both are fun
>>332119067
You sound like the kind of uncle I would keep away from my kids.
>>332114920
He's stopped doing what made him good in the first place. It's dissapointing.
>>332118885
>He'll probably earn more than you
And he will have nothing to show for it. What real world skill will he develop from having a YouTube career playing minecraft? That's assuming he even becomes popular. At some point, PewDiePie will quit Youtube, or will drop in popularity. It happens with everything. You don't stay with the same job your whole life. Unless you're dead inside.
>>332119067
Nothing. This is how the world is today.
>>332117707
>>332118029
Go play undertale, butterhands. Pacifist mode might be more your speed.
>>332119067
That all depends on his parents. If they let him watch YouTube and fuck around on the internet instead of actually going off and being a kid, then he's in trouble.
>>332119385
>touhoufag doesn't know how to quote properly
>>332119359
These pics always make it look like Ron Paul caused the destruction of the world. Like when you see a pic of a Terminator endoskeleton standing in front of a nuclear blast.
>>332119438
How is he going to be a kid? Have you been to a park since Youtube was invented? There are no kids outside anymore.
>>332119478
Even better.
>>332119558
There are parks that are still around. You must live in a shitty area. Besides, What's so hard about a parent taking the time to go play outside with their kid for an hour or two? Tell them to go grab a stick and start digging a hole in the yard or some shit. Get their imagination going.
>>332119067
>you introduced your nephew to some of the top professionals in the world, because you're lucky enough to know them.
>Kid shows absolutely no interest in your hobby/skill whatsoever.
just a thing anon, let the kids figure out what they like on their own.
>>332119738
I didn't say parks went away. I said there are no kids in parks. They're all indoors watching pewdiepie and harassing each other on facebook.
>>332119823
And do you believe it's best for them to figure that out with the use of the internet instead of actual events that can occur in their lives?
>>332119358
>he will have nothing to show for it.
Thats what many waiters/plumbers/civil servants do anyways. You have watched too much Hollywood magicks, my friend. Work is something you do to earn a living, not to accomplish personal realization. Unless you belong to that rare 1% indie developers/amateur writters/lucky bastards who actually make big bucks out of their passion.
>>332119914
Right, but again, that's where the parents come in. If you're not involved with the life of your child, then you're a shitty parent, and you deserve to have a shitty kid.
>>332119929
Fuck if I know anymore anon, I'm likely just as disillusioned as they are. Rather not play the hypocrite in his life.
If this fat fuck can be a Youtuber, then your little brother stands a hell of a chance. Hell, anyone does.
>>332114405
>tfw that wagekek copypasta about the anon who shows dissatisfaction at how easy LPs have while he struggles to pay his uni fees, debt, health bills and other problems that plague the person of today.
If its any consolation this wave that they are riding on is going to keep going higher and faster but when it finally crashes? Tears will be shed. Just imagine being a veteran LPs 25 years experience only to have your line of work being made redundant.
>>332114920
>he says people watch him for who he his not his content

>>332119942
You're obviously 12, or have the mentality of one. There are plenty of skills that you can learn from those jobs you have listed. Personal realization is something you find on your own, and acquiring new skills may help you with that. Just because you have a shitty job, or even a good job, doesn't mean you can't have a hobby or passion that you like to do, and it may kick off into a new career. This whole youtube bullshit is just for people that don't want to work and have no real ambitions in life.
>>332120160
Personally i don't believe so, but i wanted to know how you felt about it. I wasn't judging, i was just curious.
>>332115620
>Touhou
Im so sorry for your loss anon, I really am.
Don't worry, maybe one day he will outgrow it, maybe.
How little?
>>332114405
This is exactly the same as wanting to be a movie star, back when internet video wasn't a thing. It's actually so normal that it's cliche. Nobody would've given a shit about it.
>>332121464
>yfw "e-celebs" are getting a following comparable to that of famous movies stars
A decade ago people would have thought this was a joke but now its a very real possibility. Its amazing what technology can give us and just how close it can get us to our chosen idolized members of the wired community.
>>332121464
Yeah no wait did you just compare a bunch of internet hipsters to movie stars?
>>332120940
Yeah, call me underage. That will make you seem less immature. I'm a civil servant and I can tell you what I do entails absolutely no skill worth mentioning. Personal realization only has to do with skills if you are the kind of brainwashed retard who thinks that. It can be about hobbies, hedonism, whatever you want.
In any case, things being the way they are, he'll probably earn more than you, as I stated previously, doing half the work you do and enjoying it more than you do. And if that doesn't work, remember some anon took great pleasure in knowing you weren't able to prevent your little brother from ruining his life.
That is the best part, actually.
>>332122081
Movie stars and classic hollywood on the whole is dead. E-celebs reach a larger worldwide audience and are way more recognizeable than any actor these days. Same with television. It will burst eventually when the next mass entertainment thing drops but, hollywood died years ago.
Could be worse anon. Could be way WAY worse.
>>332114405
>my shitty cousin is pretty much best friends with my little brother
>he always comes over every weekend
>he's a huge meme spouting fuck that loves youtubers
>my brother is slowly converting to the dark side
I need to save him, /v/
What vidya do I make an illiterate kid play
I've got a Wii U home but TW101 and Bayo 2 might be too much for him
>>332122902
Is this the new face of metatrolling?
This is like saying Astley is more popular than Pink Floyd because dem kids got rikrols xD.
>>332123410
Paint us an image of the values you want to shoehorn into him for a more specific treatment.
>>332123410
Play some Co-Op games with him. Wii U has a lot of local multiplayer stuff.
>>332123410
Get some virtual console games. Games like Kirby or Wario Ware are simple enough for a kid to enjoy.
>>332123080
>i threw my mom
Guy's crazy.
>>332123691
I just don't want him to become a meme loving fuck.
Maybe I can introduce him to the magical world of emulation.
That worked for me when I was a kid.
>>332123693
I'm barely home, man.
I spend the entire day working and studying.
I'd love to bro-op with him.
>>332123080
I even dunno. Sometimes happens that parents love their kids so much, a lot more than kids love their parents.
Holy fuck, I just don't know what to say.
How does such happen in the world?
>>332123836
Shit, you're a fucking genius, Kirby and Warioware would be perfect.
Thanks /v/, you're alright sometimes.
>>332114405
Murder your brother then turn yourself in to the police, that's the only way to save your family's reputation
>>332115543
Fuck that makes sense. That and the social awkward kids feeling like the streamers are their friends.
>>332124110
Well, memeloving is not the worst thing ever. At least he wouldn't be watching Real Life (sorry if the reference is dated, I'm Yurop myself).
In any case, I would go as old school as he is able to manage. Baldur's Gate, Planescape, Final Fantasy 6/7 tier. Also, if that won't cut it, I would try Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask. Vampire Bloodlines... Heck, even Gothic 1 & 2.
I grew up with those and I am quite proud of myself, but it is ultimately up to you.
>>332115543
What happens when kids don't get taught about piracy.
Just fucking brilliant.Though no, kids still would prefer letsplay over actual game, I think
>>332117495
Is it bad that I have seen so many shit like this irl that I don't even cringe no more?
This is exactly why I stoped watching anime in high school. But some of my friends didn't were so lucky.
>>332124349
Just be sure to show him older games first like Nightmare in Dreamland before moving on to something more recent like Squeak Squad.
You'll save him anon, don't worry.
>>332114405
I wanted to be a palentologist when I grew up but now the only bone I dust off is my own.
>>332124952
I'd love to make him play RPGs but they're heavily text based and he doesn't know how to read yet.
Also, we're not from an english speaking country so that makes it even harder.
>>332123603
More like living in your own world where vaping isn't popular and youtubers aren't watched by adults.
>>332120653
>tfw dad sees that I enjoy playingleague of Legends
>said "why dont you try going pro? I've read in newspapers that you can go in tournaments and people are actually making money from this playing this game"
>feels like a dream
>remember I'm a fucking Plat scrub with no chance in hell I'll be as good as the pros
FUCK WHY
>>332121229
I outgrowed mlp and anime a long time ago
Im sure he can outgrow that
>>332123603
Do you think any kids even know who Pink Floyd is? And the audience doesn't matter, as long as it's an audience and one of the biggest audiences for entertainment media is kids. Old people don't matter to what's popular and popularity equals money.
>>332124349
Kirby super star you can play co-op, you control kirby and he the helper. So, as long as you dont die he can do whatever, and you just let him enjoy himself.
>>332125323
Can't help you then. Most of my gaming experience requires at least some basic understanding of the language.
Maybe Cave Story. It's a nice platformer, but I'm not sure how much can you do without knowing the language. Or perhaps Contra, but we are getting into oldfag territory with that one.
>>332114405
Whew. I thought you were going to say he is a weeaboo.
He'll outgrow that shit. No one outgrows weeaboo cancer.
>>332123080
>I lockes the door that day and my mom sat behind it, knocking on it and trying to joke with me, recounting memories from my childhood so I would open the door. She slept sitting by the door that night.
