If you play video games when you have a family, you dont deserve that family. She will either cheap or leave you in the end. If you play every now and then, by all means play your game. But if your a daily player or weekly player grow the frick up and spend time with your family.
What if you play after everyone in the house has gone to sleep? That's actually taking away less family time than most hobbies do.

I don't care how other people spend their time. Their business.
But if your dog's sun bleached skeleton is found lying in your back yard, you might be playing too much.....

Lift weights, play with your kids, go on hikes, pound your wife, make money. Those are things men do. Do that and you won’t have time for 1-3 hours of video games a night. I played the new NCAA football hame with my son two nights ago but it isn’t part of my lifestyle because I’m a grown man.

Hours this year spent hacking consoles to download free games: 10+
Hours this year spent playing said games: 0
Why do I do this.

Video poker and gambling is fine.

Imagine living your life with hobbies someone else needs to approve of.
Now imagine some random Internet person telling you that if your hobbies don't match his that you won't have a job, a family, or fail at your responsibilities.

Funny you could fill in drinking, hanging out with friends, work, golf or hunting or fishing and have the same results

Late 50’s and I play almost daily. Limit it to an hour. I workout regular but won’t let gaming get in way of other duties. I’d play more but too much shite to do.

Agreed.

If this is the case, you married the wrong chick.
I don’t take anyone seriously who proclaims to be a “gamer.” I’m 42.

TL;DR: I think the reason older people don’t think adults should play video games is because they didn’t grow up and experience the highly immersive and impressive form of entertainment that they’ve become
So you’re saying it’s a “generational” thing?

If a man is a productive member of society and takes care of all of his responsibilities, then I see no issue with him playing video games in his free time if that’s what he enjoys.

People in here who made poor life decisions with no free time looking down on people who made good decisions and can enjoy a hobby. Classic.

NCAA 25 is pretty fun. Would recommend giving it a try
Posted on 7/24/24 at 10:04 am to diddlydawg7
It all depends on the video game. Modern video games with seasonal live service models have become so time-consuming and “grindy” that it is tough to justify playing them as an adult with other pressing responsibilities. Couple that with the intentional addictive designs of the games and it’s even worse.
I have no problem playing a fun game here and there or with my kids, but the modern AAA live service games are just too much.

They’ll have to pry my controller out of my cold dead hands. Give me a proper ending to Mass Effect and I can die a content man.

Todays adults are the ones that grew up with easily accessible in home gaming, so seeing many of them continue seems natural
It is like disney (disney world) adults kinda. Having been opened in the 1970s it took a while for that first generation that grew up as young kids going to the disney parks to become grown arse men and women. Previous to that, there was no gneration with a childhood attachment to disney world
People stick with what they know, what they love, and what is comfortable. Cant really fault them, we all do it. for ome people its video games, for some people its disney, for some people its christmas or halloween. Most people that carry that nostalgia are just trying to chase that feeling again
