Videogame love as a disease

Post by GameHED »

I thought this topic was important enough to make a thread about it (may have to update it with new posts as stories of people getting locked away for playing too much Red Dead Redemption and Cyberpunk becomes the new normal):
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018 ... g-disorder" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So what are you guys all going to do when they send men in white coats to grab you forcibly out of your home and put you in mental institution?

You going to beat everyone over the head with a original Xbox controller to knock them out or what?

Would like to hear your opinions. I thought I would run them over with stolen cop car and tell them "GTA made me kill these cops so please put me on disability pension so I can play games in the padded room to teach kids not to be like me and then write a book about the dangers of game addiction and make millions of dollars which I will donate to CDPR to make future elder scrolls games with after Bethesda sell it off after realising they can make more money doing multiplayer games and selling skins and lootboxes like EA. I need your help. I'm sick! not my fault people get rich making this addictive crap. I'm a victim"

In the past the politicians tried to demonise violent games as the devil. Now the WHO wants to label everyone who likes to play games as suffering from addiction and then believes it's a sickness that requires a cure. Pretty extreme stuff. Nobody shocked? TE do you think this is the NWO plan to get us all to stop playing mmo games and start watching crappy lifestyle shows on mainstream tv again? (games compete with other entertainment mediums so this might work in their favour as people will be afraid to not appear 'sick')
This is a clever tactic to stop us having fun again. It's the feminists imo. They were always shit at games and by making us play them less they think they can win esport tournaments by handicapping men.

love these fake comments from fake posters:

@Psiloc That solution you propose is far from simple, as anyone with kids knows only too well. If you honestly think you can just tell a 12 year old to do something, and it just happens, then you've been spending too much time with computers, or you're raising your own kids in a draconian manner that will come back to haunt all of us when they become an adult.
What has happened to parents of post baby boomer generations is they want to be the friends of their kids not their actual draconian parents. Real parents do what's good for the kid not what feels good to them. That's why you never let emotion cloud your thinking. Enabling bad behavior is abusive to children. And this is why kids grow up fucked in the head: they don't know boundaries. Because the parents hate to set them. They are soft. So what do the soft parents do? Blame the thing they bought for the kid, not themselves. When you are the parent the kids depend on you to be the boss not their friends. This is important because once kids see that you are a doormat they will control the parents instead of the other way around. Being draconian was NORMAL in the old days. It meant the parent was guarding the kid from harm and actually gave a shit. Now? The kids see weakness and exploit it, and when they develop a problem the parent wants society to raise the kid instead of them doing it themselves and being perceived as the "bad guy".

They (bad parents) view kids like they are little toys to give themselves entertainment and love, not as people that will grow up and need instructions and guidance to be responsible people that will have kids themselves one day and need to pass values on to the next generation. Big difference I have noticed due to TV brainwashing people over generations to make kids more and more antisocially and think it's cool to rebel. The baby boomer generation was the beginning of this problem and the 'lack of taking parenting responsibility' problem started to rear its head with kids who suddenly "can't be controlled." They can't be controlled because you don't set boundaries, didn't stick to values and morals and thought you could be their friends and be "the good guy" to them. That's not what they NEED. They may WANT you to be good leniant person but what they NEED is not the same as what they WANT. And that's why kids can walk all over the parents and become the boss in the household now.

Parents are to blame because parents are responsible for what their child does even if they are not the cause of the problem. Just as you are responsible if your car hits something and damages property. It was licensed under your name and you are responsible for damages if the car hits things. Whining that it is hard isn't going to solve the problem if you won't admit to being weak at standing your ground and enforcing rules. (that's what single moms did: kept the dad out of it so now the kids are not afraid to disobey. Think of this as a punishment from God for not giving man authority as the bible instructs you) Bring back male authority in the home and teach responsibility. You can't have authority if you won't take responsibility. Any civilisation that let women have power, those ones ended up collapsing because weak people don't like or want to enforce rules and stick to the system. (they are always looking for ways around it or easy stopgap solutions like drugging kids up with ADHD drugs to get them to sit still instead of actually giving a shit about them as people hahah)

Whining about something not being easy is usually a sign you are weak and WANT things to be easy instead of accepting that some things are hard and it's the universe telling you to toughen up so that it doesn't feel hard anymore. But that's not what the feminist likes to hear so they want the government to do something for them like ....ummm raise kids FOR them. But why would kids obey the government? because it's more scary is the reasoning. More tax money wasted on something that doesn't work..(the government doesn't want responsibility either!)

The solution: IT's a spiritual problem: you as parents won't be responsible parents. You want to be loved as the good guy, the hero, the leniant parent that they can feel is spoiling them, .... and then the kids walk all over you, doing what they want, and then you don't want to take the blame when they do something wrong. You have to be the bad guy, then after you set that boundary, the kids will respect it and have to work hard to get around you, then you let them know there is a punishment for trying to break the laws, and then when they do it, they feel guilty and this develops their sense of "what is good and bad?" IF you try to be their friend, nothing is bad so they see no reason to respect your rules because you never enforce it. Without the enforcement how can that be a boundary if the fence is always broken? Then they just remember you won't do anything and so they get away with everything. Enforcement means taking the damn thing (game system, internet, phone, tv etc) away and locking it until they improve.

Why did older generations have more common sense than now?? Because current people are victims of gradual brainwashing over long period of time imo They didn't inherit the same values of the older generations before the baby boomer so are just copying their evil parents from the past instead of the good parents that were not spoiled rotten. So we are experiencing the effects of this right now with cucked value systems and weak people who think things have to be easy for it to be considered 'normal'. A house pet doesn't experience the harshness of an animal living in the wild which has to survive the toughness, you see? Everyone wants to be house pet and demand convenience but it's not good because you lack skills and get soft and easy to control. Parents are to blame not the thing kids like. It could have been addiction to music, addiction to drugs, addiction to alcohol etc but the reason they get away with doing anything is because you enable it be not enforcing rules out of fear you will be seen as a "Bad guy". Be the bad guy and be proud to be seen as a dictator, and they will grow up thanking you for it when they become parents. They will recognise that having authority also requires responsibility and the exchange of having power to boss people around is that you also get the blame when something goes wrong. It's balance. You get something (authority to be guardian) and in exchange something is required in exchange for that (responsiblilty/blame if you are a bad boss) and you feel good after they pass the values on to their kids when they copy you.
That has been lost over time.

Not everyone assumes they're going to be put in a mental institution.

Amazing story of how boogie escaped his abusive upbringing by turning to videogames (posted 2 days ago - notice how much weight he has lost? :shock: He is listening to his buddies who are genuinely concerned about his health which is a good thing :up: ):
This will probably be a video the anti-games parents won't want to hear (doesn't follow the narrative that games are bad) but I think is appropriate for the times we are in. "Games saved boogie's life by giving him a safe space"

Perhaps the reason kids are turning to electornic devices to parent them is because the parents use videogames to raise their kids instead of humans now? The parents of today forgot they had to have an interest in them as people, and care about them not just give them money and tell them to go away?
Lazy parents use videogame systems to get the kids away and think of tv and games s the babysitter now. This is probably why kids are addicted to games. Yes the games are addicitive just like watching too many tv shows can be addictive or eating too much chocolate cake is addictive but these are symptoms of a bigger problem imo.

Boogie should seriously write a ebook about his experiences and sell it to fat kids who have bad parents. The games much like alcohol are just the thing the abused turned to in order to get through through each day. Without these they probably would have offed themselves imo. But I'm not a professional I just think big pharma is desperate to sell more drugs as the solution to everything even though the bible forbids sorcery. In order to solve a problem look at the spiritual sickness in people. That is the root of it. Nobody wants to read it so they end up with bratty kids who get everything they want, the parents let them do what they want, and then the kid ends up shooting up a school and saying "the Matrix, GTA5, Doom, and Fortnight did this, not me, not my bad parents who were turned to bad influences for advice instead of obeying what God said" ...and then the big corporations cave into the mainstream media narrative by banning games or removing them from department stores and actually believing the liars.

You want kids to not be brats? Set boundaries and stop spoiling the shit out of them. Confiscate the machines which YOU paid for. (until they improve and you see signs they have learned) You want to avoid bad parents? Give them a bible and tell the parents that non-dysfunctional family lives according to principles and values that stand the test of time. Teach the parents old school values. IT works. We have had them for thousands of years. The government can't help you. It just sees people as tax farms to keep the government workers job secure. (they just "follow orders" like the nazi germans in WWII and can't think for themselves. Or the clone troopers in star wars where they have been brainwashed and programmed to kill whatever target they are told to shoot. The reason why The Matrix is popular among free-thinkers is because people want truth, not fake solution by others to profit off of the misery of others)

Boogie's mother was the female darth vader. His story shows how videogames can be therapy. (the obese man can reach people like him and they can support each other and share their experiences. In older times he could have turned to drugs, died of an OD and you wouldn't hear about the thing he went through.)

For obese kids to watch: (you will learn stuff)
If you are an INCEL this guy is your super hero.

Boogie has transformed from blue pill fat loser that anonymous people make fun of and laugh at, into an assertive mgtow red pill guy who decides that life is a gift and living it and being better person is the secret to happiness. I'm proud of him.

Anyone who follows this guy can clearly see he doesn't want to be a miserable victim anymore but improve himself and soldier on with life like a true warrior. The divorce woke him up to female manipulation and exploitation. If he gets into another relationship he will be a lot more cynical I can tell from the above interview. This shows he has more self respect than the old boogie. And he isn't turning to drugs for the answer to everything. Soon he will be climbing mountains like Link in Zelda Breath of the Wild and killing goblins in real life instead of the virtual one! :up:

He represents what happens when you don't go outside. Basically the image I have of many pc gamers who have never bothered to get off their butts to walk to a local ebgames to buy physical copies and who worship Steam which they hope will take over the world one day. Sorry fatties, not going to happen. Most of my games are ones I get to actually own. Not digital crap that can be deleted at any time if the service dies. Until the government gets involved and makes it law that you can backup your digital titles to physical media and sell the game just like you can retail editions then there is no point caring about what digital distribution guys wish for.
More options is always superior to less options. A monopoly on the distribution of content only makes customers less happy because they are dependent on the supplier to be nice. That doesn't happen in business unless you are a rare exception. (CDPR - allows pirates to do what they wish because they understand people)

Boogie is one of the pc gamers. But he is also realist. That's what makes him different from Candy who is also a PC guy. The PC guys have to be grounded in reality because they are out of touch with what people actually want. (they live inside their dad's garage or mum's basement instead of traveling the world like Switch owners and meeting cute girls who want to play Super Street Fighter Turbo on the plane, train and bus and lick your nuts when you win against them which is the proof of your manhood as a true gamer. PC gamers would rather download hacked version so they can apply nude patch and then win by cheating. This is why pc guys can't kill us console owners off to bring about their utopia of pc-only future! They were plotting for years but we are too powerful. And kids can't afford expensive upgrades to their cards so they play cheap games with crappy graphics like Fortnight LOL So whatever advantage having better hardware had in the platform wars of the past, ...is now meaningless if you think of kids today as the future gamer army. Microsoft knows this which is why they bought minecraft. Use your brains.)
