Yes, it has vampires, angels, trolls, etc.
But it actually keeps you pretty sharp with regards to quick math and strategy.
The characters could be football players or hooters girls for all I care.

You ain't wrong...also young men are nearly about terrified of women because any way they approach them they are accused of being a predator. When "Baby it's Cold Outside" is seen as the theme song for rape something is terribly amiss in the world.
I have a 24 year old son who is not the least bit interested in marriage and a family. He is interested in "hooking up" to use the current vernacular and spends about as much time in that pursuit as any 24 yo in any generation has. He also has a job and his own place without any roommates. He knows a lot of men his age who are exactly as described. I can't imagine living like that but I certainly understand it to some extent.

We live in a society where white males are made out to be the bad guys and potential mates in that age group are only interested in what you can offer them financially.
So they check out and live in a fantasy world.
I think it’s weak AF but I get it.

Video games are one of the cheapest hobbies around so that is a plus for them.
People downvoting, but it’s true. The amount of hours one can put in to a tier one game is absurd. One can spend a lot on video games, but it’s unnecessary unless one wants to play the latest and greatest co-op multiplayer game on PC. Otherwise, you can get huge ROI just playing games a couple years after they came out.
A used PS4 costs about $150. An old copy of Witcher 3 costs about $25. You can easily sink 60+ hours into that game and not get bored. Assuming you only bought that system for that game, you’re at less than $3/hr for entertainment. Each additional game you play for the same system will bring that average down. Imagine I also sunk 40 hours into FFXV ($15), 50 hours into Skyrim ($20), 30 hours into FFVII Remake ($35), and 20 hours into Red Dead ($30).
That’s literally $1.38/hr. Travel, Movie theaters, bowling, concerts, karate classes, etc no other hobby is that cheap on a per/hour basis.

Don't they have bills? I just don't understand how someone can support themselves without some sort of income. Surely they can't get paid enough just for sitting on their asses, right?
This is my question as well, all can guess is these failures have elderly parents or just a mother with a paid off house and good internet. Who also can tolerate a complete loser being around and playing video games 24/7.

Especially since the mega nerds aren't even buying their video games. Piracy is too easy these days.

The boomers destroyed the planet but we’re here to save it. The boomers crashed the economy like 5 times in our careers but we rebuilt the economy each time. Now we’re fixing to go save Ukraine and win ww3

spend about seven hours a day playing video games
Holy shite. There are a few games I like to play, I don't play them every day and when I do, at the most I will play about 30 mins. I'd say on average, I probably play for about 20 mins.
Playing 7 hours a day has to have some type of negative impact on someone's eye sight, brain, health in general because they are probably not moving around much.

I love video games. I'd quit and play all day if I could

Millenials can’t really get married because the boomers let their daughters listen to rap music and skip church

I bashed these nerds in another reply but to be fair, during my peak World of Warcraft playing I was probably playing 3-4 hours a night.
Now I was working, as was my wife (we had two kids and the third on the way) who gave me an ultimatum.
So I dialed it way back.

The soyface guys are middle management, they're running the liberal HR departments that are making a different group withdraw from the workforce.

Can't do shite on any game in 30 mins. This is a lie.
