boomers have real lives and investments unless us kids who obsessively collect childrens toys because we're priced out of a normal future, they dont care about your games for babies.

>watches his shows religiously every day
yeah real investment and important life he has, yet video games are for "babies" last I saw a kid in diapers can't read or finish Contra

moron

Why are frogposters so retarded?

>>8482070
he owns a house, a wife, and a car, why the fuck would he care about your $5 beep boop 8bit graphics garbage that your dad himself grew out of when he came in your mom for the first time back in the 90s.

>>8482070
he stopped using his brain and it atrophied. he’ll just coast like this and gradually lose more of his faculties

>>8482079
Id rather keep gaming than become a normie who just sits there stuffing his face with beer and chips while he stares at a screen watching men play sports
>>8482090
yup, I know this is true. he retires this year. I don't know what he'll do with all his free time. He can't just watch TV for 16 hours in a day can he?

>>8482110
games and tv are both wastes of time staring at a screen, dont throw stones in glass houses.

Apparently, they inherit it from their dads.

>playing the PS3 port of Streets of Rage 2 with dad on easy modo, thinking I should have left it on normal because the first level has barely any enemies on screen
>suddenly start getting our shit pushed him because I'm carrying him through everything
>almost shit myself after losing all lives (set to max) in the final elevator before remembering the game has continues anyway
>have fun the entire time

There's more time to waste than anything else, without time sinks one grows bored. Idle hands is the work of the devil.
Its best to keep busy even if that means playing 30 year old games.

>work 10-12 hours
>leaves you about 6 to 4 hours of free time
You're already tired from working, you can at most spend 1 hour working out. You also can't work out every day you need rest.
What else is there to do? one of the only alternatives that is cost effective and fun is video games
>more interactive than TV
>uses your brain and hand coordination more than just blankly staring at screen
Come up with a better solution that doesn't cost an arm and a leg
There is no better option
>reading?

>>8482162
>writing
unless you're writing a book its a waste of time
>drawing
can't draw a stick figure for my life
>socializing
95% of socializing is a waste of time where people talk about anecdotes and banter, its mostly boring and not pertinent to life
>physical crafts
??? I am not 10 years old anymore, who the hell does this outside of arts and crafts in elementary school
>art fag
>coding
gay
>political activism
useless and gay

>tell me you lurk in /pol/ all day Hans you suck
if you would try at least one of those activities you could develop a more interesting life than one spent on this website 24/7

>>8482191
I don't even spend a couple of hours on here, I browse only when I'm bored
also
>not browsing /x/ or doing any occult themed activity
>not connecting to the gods or THE God.
ngmi all your political mumbo jumbo won't be worth anything

I'm a grown man and I cant finish Contra

>>8482245
Neither can I anon, neither can I

>owning a SNES clasisc
>bringing it to another person's house
>bringing it to another person's house without prior knowledge of knowing if they're interested

Fucking cringe dude. Do not attempt to play video games, especially retro video games, with anyone who doesn't express interest in it without you bringing it up.

You need to accept that this is a niche hobby and regardless of weather someone is boomer zoomer doomer or coomer, most people aren't going to enjoy it and you can't make them. You need to enjoy your hobby in shameful solitude or find some friends with the same taste.
