Study finds young men are playing video games instead of getting jobs - Chicago Tribune

Why should I enslave myself to this pathetic system of consumerism where all my work is just another statistic in getting the top end (mostly YouKnowWho's, what a fucking surprise) more money. No, fuck that. If you have a job: you are someone's bitch.

I wonder what they consider "jobs". For instance I was laid off about two months ago (company went out of business), but I have run my own porn site business for about 4 years. I currently make 6k per month doing it, which is more than I made from my "real" job. That being said I am still looking for work.

Fuck you!

I see alot of "NOW HIRING" signs and applied to all of them. NO CALL BACKS what so ever. It's all bullshit lies. The reason is they buy ad space in bulk. It saves them money and it wastes your time.
SO FUCK YOU!!!!

>working for a system that takes your taxes to fund your own genocide

Awww wittle wagie mad?

>look for a job
>closest job is a city away
>physical labour too
>not even full time

so many fucking jobs lads

I JUST HATE THE LIES!!!! THERE'S SO MUCH BULLSHIT!!!
And one more thing, taking that "survey" after filling out the job application does determine if you're hired or not. It's a personality test that discriminates you no matter what answer you pick.

Like I said, IT"S BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

same

Sure there are jobs but ARE THEY HIRING????
huh, dumb fuck!!

Fucking kek

>quit playing videogames, you need to man up and get a job you hate so you can afford chad's leftovers and her children

Still waiting on call backs, shithead!

Play video games, wank to good ass porn, and wait until civil war breaks out > Participate in a system that hates me and wants me to work and give half to fucker who hate me

OP is fag

Why should I go find a job, when I can get for free, what I'd otherwise have to work a 40 hour work week at 15 an hour to have. AND I have that all tax free. AND I get the same level of heath and dental that federal employees get. For free.

I can afford all the videogames I want, I can afford a 63" TV and all the consoles, I can afford upgrading my computer every year. I can do all this without working a minute.
So why should I work if this is all I want?

safer than working with wood chippers

White men aren't working because the jobs are being given to nogs and coalburners

pic explains

I just placed gold in overwatch after not playing a PC fps in 5 years

Cred Forums is my only video game

this
>video games are cheap and affordable to even the poorest of poorfags
>OMG LOOK POORFAGS PLAY VIDEOGAMES

>White men aren't working because the jobs are being given to nogs and coalburners
You mad I got the job gringo also
>nogs
>working
pick one

to add to this response rate is atrocious, I applied for fucking 5 jobs and only heard back from one, I was the only person to apply in 3 of those jobs too, and I don't have a small resume. The nepotism is real.

Most of the game is about knowing character mechanics/proper team composition.

You could play Mercy, Lucio, or even Winston and never have to be good at aiming and still do well if you are a good and knowledgeable team player.

same, was playing video games and in school before, now im starting a business and have no time. Cred Forums took priority over games for spare time, how lovely

You got the job because nanny bammy says you get it. You haven't earned a think in your life, except maybe the privelege to pick some beans for Green Giant.

> tfw living in nonspic county

Video games are a fun hobby. But sure keep bastardizing men, while the majority of women my age live at home. Have no car and expect a man to come save them.

I make decent money for my age (20 making 20/hr) and my main hobbies are collecting cassettes, Vidya and /o/ shit.

My biggest issue as an adult is just making friends. My high school friends moved away and went to college so I have a total of one friend now.

fuck off, women just mad because all of the young men they were brainwashing to become their future husbands turned on them and decided games were more important. this has nothing to do with jobs. fat angry lonely feminists writing more articles. fuck off

How does one live a good life without a job? Working as an EMT is suffering. I just want to make friends and play video games.

I don't have a problem with legal Mexicans. Or any legal immigration really. All the legal Mexicans I've met have been total bros. When a Mexican has children with a white person, it makes more whites.

Honestly, sitting around playing video games is more fun than working or dealing with (((western women))). All I have to do is sit around, stream a popular game that is mildly fun and say stupid shit all day and the money rolls right in.

I'm questioning if engineering is even worth bothering with, even if its my last semester and I even have jobs lined up.

And it looks like you watch anime as well. Wonderful.

>"They find evidence that a portion ... of the decrease in work time of less-educated young men can be a result of the appeal of video games."
No you dumb ass, if that was the case then you would have had this problem when arcades exploded in the 80's. This isn't just a video game thing, they mention other entertainment as well but focus on video games. The ability to just go online and watch shows and movies along with social sites like here on Cred Forums and Reddit eat up their time as well.

It is as if they want to escape into a digital society rather than participate in the real one. Not like I am trying to say something about this or anything.

>except maybe the privelege to pick some beans for Green Giant.
Keep crying and telling yourself that gringo also
> tfw living in nonspic county
And you still cant get a job HAHAHA
What happened to the powerful gringos my father respected and looked up too? Sad!

n-no we're not..

>make it impossible for young white men to get a job
>"WOOOOW WHY ARE ALL THESE LAZY FUCKS NOT LEAVING MOM'S BASEMENT?"

maybe Affirmative Action should be extended to white guys. Then all you'd have to do is send in a resume and get hired on the spot, and no matter how badly you perform you can't be fired.

>it makes more whites.
This is accualtly true some times but in the end it dilutes both people best there be no mixing

But you're a weeb, which is objectively worse than being unemployed.

Mainstream news is now mostly about "baiting" angry, sexually disturbed older women or old people who are completely out of the loop - the main readership for these sites.

So they take raw data on employment and so on and frame it in "men need to be told what to do!" feminist bullying rhetoric, the same way we get hundreds of articles on "men are failing at university!" which completely ignore the many ways in which men become employed without going to uni, etc.

In the same boat as you. I work for a politician at his parliamentary office and i make decent money and have a decent condo. My biggest problem is making friends outside of work. For now i guess im stuck with you guys and /k/.

The little pot plant on his desk never fails to make me smile.

Hipsters think glasses make them look "intellectual". Which is hilarious because the instant I see thick frame glasses I automatically know it's a hipster retard that I can and should disregard on the spot.

how does your site work?
does it link to other sites & earn affiliate links or do you post videos and make ad cash?
how much time does it take & how do you go about getting visitors?

Ubisoft games feel like a job

Why do games have to be so long?

I can only finish one game a month, max

100k a year die at the border, faggot. They starve, they get eaten by wolves, they get shot by Whites and get shot by your cartel bulls. Don't you ever get tired of sucking druglord cock? Why don't you people revolt?

Oh, right. When you tried, Spain kicked your ass the first time and we kicked your ass the second time

If you can't even get a simple job, there is something wrong with you that makes you unemployable.

Where I live, a lot of jobs are available, but sadly most of them are part time retail shit with spotty hours. I work one of those jobs as a side job to my office job. It's what has to be done for survival, because I'm too proud to receive welfare.

Tell me about it. It's even worse when they're not wearing real lenses, just fake glasses to look """smart.""" Fuck them, I've had shitty vision since I was very young, and it's no fun when your vision is -4.5 in both eyes. Thankfully the glasses I have worn for several years had thin rims.

>Ubisoft game credits feel like a job
FTFY

the ones that are also making under $35,000 on average?

Imagine graduating and making less than my dad did doing fuckall

If you're not working, then what the fuck are you doing? How do you live? It doesn't make sense to me. I'm 26 and I've had constant jobs since 16.

I know what you mean, I tried playing AC4 but it's just so fucking long
like gen 5 JRPG tier long, and not in the fun way.

In the same boat here

...

This is a dumb meme. Googles are massively unemployed for a reason.

besides an automated response that they got your email, why do you think that you should get a response telling you that they have considered your application and don't want to take it further?

i see a lot of people talk about not getting a reply, but filling a position can be quite expensive for a company. how much time does it take for someone to write and send 200-300 emails just to say that they don't want to give you an interview? that is a mornings work for someone.

checking resumes is time-consuming and therefore expensive. while i accept that applicants should be told no, the process of deciding no and telling them no is quite a cost to th business.

Liar you are guaranteed job in idf

What kinda job you got famlam?

>Chicago tribune

i dumped 17k hours of my life into wow

i have a deep love hate relationship with it

quite unhealthy

close i do 5am just play hearthstone on my phone no one is there

The best part is the thick rim glasses used to be the ultra-cheap glasses for welfare, Medicaid and shit vision plans. Then hipsters made them trendy, so those cheap frames now have designer labels and cost more than flexon metal frames. Fortunately I always sprung for metal frames since good ones are lightweight and my prescription is strong as fuck with heavy lenses.

>Spain kicked your ass the first time
Mexicans got rid of the Spanish you historically illiterate retard atleast they didn't lose fucking rice farmers HAHAHA
>Why don't you people revolt?
You People? Im not a Mexican national dude also How would they government took peoples right to own guns also tell Obama to stop sending guns to mexican drug lords if you're so concerned

Greetings traveler

Kind of a hard question but right now probably Thief 2 or Thief in general because they've got so much fan made content to play it's ridiculous.

How do they pay for video games if they don't have a job?

Dont really have fav video game desu

I would have a job if the process to get one wasn't so dehumanizing.

Defeatist cuck keep selfloathing while chinks take your country over

they more than likely have a generic email for anyone they don't consider. I understand where you are coming from I just wish they could at least tell me "no, you don't have enough experience" or some shit.
It's a fucking chore man, I feel like i'm in a ditch, it's impossible to get a good job now it feels. They all want experience in X, so you go to try getting a job in X, but they want experience in Y, so you go try Y and the process repeats. Unless you do fucking unpaid internships, and last I checked unpaid internships don't pay bills.

Young man finds study can go fuck itself

Security at an assisted living facility. 90% of the time I'm there for show. Actual work consists of making sure shit is locked and helping lost visitors. Sometimes there is paperwork when some retard crashes a car in the parking lot. Long hours but lots of downtime and no supervision until morning when I'm about to leave. I get comfy with a laptop and vita to kill time.

>government took peoples right to own guns

government can't do anything. You gave your guns away because you're fat welfare cucks.

> we be uhprezzed because we got cartelz

either fight them or bend over for their long smegma covered cock

i got a job so i could move the fuck out.

Eat my unwashed asshole.

yea I used to but video games have gone to shit so now I just kind of sit around being worthless while still buying video games I never play

Back before I got into the military I couldn't find a job. What the fuck else was I supposed to do when I couldn't find a job anywhere?

Console FPS is garbage by the way.

I gots a full time job and play vidya. Its escapism and people around me and this town suck mass donkey balls. Who /DS3/?

I'll take permanent disability for $500

this is pretty much what awaits me if I can't find a job soon after graduating
what the fuck do I have to lose at that point anyway

If googles work in your country you shouldn't be complaining. around here they just steal shit and kill people

the older generation is completely disconnected from reality man. today is about getting experience under your belt as quick as possible and some short term qualifications (like a coding boot camp or associates degree) with the only exception is being a doctor or lawyer... and those are life long commitments so, not really our generations thing lmao.

very few older people realize the gravity of the situation they now live in, a horrifically automized world where the intellect and intuition is the raw ruler of the day, rarely anymore will labor be useful to society except essentials like farming etc. we'll code ourselves out of labor. before you know it we won't need money, or governments, scarcity and sin will dissipate, and we're the beginning of all that.

in the mind of our parents all they want to do is slam down shit food in front of the good goy tv set and ignore anything important to the purpose of existence.

I've always gone for the metal frames. Even growing up the eye doctor would tell me how thin frames looked good on me as opposed to thin ones, so I just went with that. I would agree, even if the metal frames cost more then, my parent's healthcare plan was pretty good.

The habit of buying thin rims followed me into adulthood. I have considered getting thick frames a few times, but this numale hipster trend that appeared about 5 years ago killed thick frames for me permanently.

Sounds like a mediocre lifestyle.

at least I'm jewing my way (literally because the program is sponsored by a jewish foundation) Into getting first my A+ certification and then Network certifications for free

ive been job hunting for a total of 1 year. today i attended 2 interviews. to my surprise i actually received a phone call back. i was giggling and excited... until they told me that today was just round 1. i need to go in for 2 more interviews. this is to filter out a huge number of applicants. and i have no references at age 20 besides my dad
>KILL ME

Can I simply play video games while career womyn work really hard?

Yeah it was the lowest time of my life. Try really hard to get work lined up immediately after college. Being a post-college NEET destroyed my self-esteem and it's only just now starting to come back now that I'm nearly positive net worth again.

it's shit like this pic that makes me choke up with nostalgia

I wish I could go to sleep and then never wake up again. everything is fucking horrible today. all my friends are druggies and it feels like every day I'm dying a little more inside

It's not so bad, just do something noncombat. It's like a free camp to teach you discipline and basic physical health. And it's a nice break from reality. Think about it.

I'm getting paid to call you a faggot right now. It's pretty great, actually.

That's sexist.

I figured it was either the USAF or the police if I can do it.

See! Thats how you spot the philosopher.

Why? I'm not a weak faggot that has to rely on shitty chemicals to survive. If you can't handle reality then you should goodify yourself

Exactly, fuck welfare. But the worst part is with working retail (apart from those spotty hours, seriously I had to work 3pm-11pm last night then get up to go in at 6am-1pm today) is you see these sacks of cat shit shamelessly buying energy drinks and candy with EBT cards and spending hundreds of dollars on lottery tickets, booze, and cigarettes.

No lenses, not even just glass? Just empty fucking glasses? It's worse than I thought.

yea shits a joke. my brother and my sister went to college. my sister went to 2 schools. My parents paid for both of them and are now broke as hell. My mother told me the other day that she should of "forced" me to go to college. Hello? My brother works at fedex retard. I literally spent $700 on dealer school and made twice as much money as my brother doing half the work and none of the debt.

Is it really that hard to comprehend? Work place politics, greatly changed by the presence of women, went from rewarding hard work and efficiency to rewarding brown-nosing and back-stabbing.

Men love video games because video games are made by men so men would love them. They are made to reward you proportionately to the work you do.

Just like employment used to do before it was perverted.

The lucky ones are the ones that find a job bereft of bullshit political games. The jobs that still reward you for the work you do.

I never understood suicide. I'd rather go out fighting.

If the military hadn't taken me I probably would have gotten into organized crime, sad to say. I needed that money and I'm smart enough to synthesize drugs or run smuggling logistics. Instead now I'm a good goy for israel but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I feel it because life just feels tiring
we are being replaced in our own country
women are cunts for the most part (i got lucky with my gf)
the system is completely rigged against us
our social programs are all going to fail within 30 years at most
if Clinton wins we can say goodbye to rights as we know them
Crime has been increasing in the cities
jobs are leaving en-masse and facing zero consequences
school is overpriced and practically necessary now that college diplomas are as worthless as high school ones
housing continues to increase in price for no reason unless you want to live in a ghetto
even going to trade school won't guarantee you a job anymore
the jobs that do remain have atrocious requirements for bottom tier work, and you can be laid off at any point for god knows what

so I figure I can either join the Air Force or be a cop and maybe accomplish something in my life. Not like I have anything to lose at this point anyway.

There are some good FMs for the Dark Mod but it feels clunkier and I don't really like how the game looks. Also seems like the levels are generally smaller.

The people who made the New Dark patche for Thief 1 and 2 actually were experimenting with dynamic shadows (they wouldn't affect stealth but they would look cool) but didn't actually implement them for some reason.

And here in America, Medicaid is significantly better than private health insurance that costs over hundreds a month.

So your life is basically

>shelter (water, heat and stuff)

>health & bodycare
>tv,computer,internet,console,phone?

I for one believes that at least the first 4 items on the list should be provided unconditionally and for free to every human being alive.

But unfortunately, since this is still not practiced in the whole of humankind, you're "abusing" the current system to be provided with what should be free for everyone anyway.

That's ok imo.

Hypothetically, if we were living in such an unconditional system, where human beings would put forth time, energy and commitment for the unconditional wellbeing of all humans, what do you think would be your contribution to such system?

Could be anything. Charitable efforts, honorary efforts, soup kitchen, watching and caring for someones baby for some hours, singing songs in th park, cleaning the park from litter, or something like a "job" as we currently call them.

What would you want to do, if anything?

Just curious.

it almost took a slap in the face to make my father understand that handshakes are dead, and any online application that takes more than 15 minutes to complete isnt worth it because it's probably a govt job that you wont get.

i cracked two years ago and damn glad i was able to get a job before eating a bullet. god knows whatll happen if i lose my job

...

>Medieval 2
muh nigga. Too bad the series went downhill from there

...

nigga you're fucking crazy, Shogun 2, Attila and Warhammer are all great

You know a game is good when you can spend hours bunny hopping around just thinking about what you are going to build next while bullshitting with some friends who are nailing a players' ragdoll to a burning cross while a child screams into the microphone.

The only time I ever found work was pre-crash. 16 years old, first time looking for a job just walked right the fuck up to Halloween Adventure and saw the manager outside smoking, asked her for a job and I started that week. Boom.

Worked a bunch of dead end jobs until I decided it was time to go to uni. Woohoo. First in my family to do it. And what do you know, the second I graduate the economy shits out its liquefied organs. So I spent several years as a NEET. The longer you go without work, the more employers don't want to hire you. It's like being a felon. Now I'm just juggling grad school and video games. That's all I do.

The one user is right about measured rewards. Video games have clear goals. You do what's expected of you, and you progress and you're rewarded. Civilization isn't like that at all. It's all kinds of stupid. How does Han Fei get it in the 3rd century BC, and governments manage to screw it up today. The conspiratorially minded might think it's by design.

Well shit, what the hell else am I supposed to do? I had to leave my previous job and I've been looking for a month now without so much as an interview.

I got magna cum laude in a STEM field, worked in my field all through college and got hired at $50K right out of school. Now I'm fucking lost.

I read books, work on my hobbies, watch TV and play video games after my daily job hunt ritual. I keep my apartment clean, I make myself some lunch, what else am I supposed to do?

There are things I want to do, like start going to the gym across the street or replace my glasses or worn out shoes but those things cost MONEY and I don't have a JOB.

FEELS
BAD
MAN

>>>/mbg/

my brother is a huge medievil fan, somehow got to chatting with the original writer for quite some time. im kinda impressed, the guy was sending my brother some open source images of the planned third game, but apparently most of the artwork/design is still under a NDA

I didn't like shogun 2 because all the factions were the same unit wise.

Didn't play attila after the dissaster that Rome 2 was. I have it in my steam library from a humble bundle. Did they fix everything that was wrong with rome 2?

Except for FO3, good fuckin taste dude

へぇ~

The Nation Calls

>-4.5

I grew up with vision that gets worse every year. By the time I was 18 I'm at -10. I literally cannot live without my glasses.

Almost a decade later I'm at -12 in both eyes.

why the fuck would you spend your hard earned money on moving pixels?

what the fuck is wrong with you? you are literally converting what little precious time you have on this earth into money, just to then convert that money back into a time waste.

you are quiet literally wasting your life twice over.

fucking junkie cuck

Hmmmm. What do you guys think used to be the main motivation for young men for all of human history? What could possibly have driven young men to work hard and risk their lives or their bodies to gain resources for all those millennia?

It seems as if that elusive thing is no longer available to a significant portion of young men, while it is all too easily available for another section of young men. Now what could that be?

How good was it? I've been thinking on getting it in the next sale

what would you rather spend your money on (((user)))?

Where are you seeing these "NOW HIRING" signs?

Lucky bastard, maybe someday they will release it.

Forget my last question, I think you're an all out total idiot. That's probably why you aren't getting call backs.

Back in school and working full time with not enough video game time

Beer, weed, and tons of video game time was so much better but I can't live off my retired parents so it must be done

o7

This. The kebab removal is calling you shlomo.

savign and investing it so that you can retire sooner and be a fuckign slave to some jew user

real life experiences cost money too ya know. travelling, learning a skill/sport costs. hell most self improvement is expensive as shit.

im not saying dont relax or avoid all recreation, just that when you honestly and truly think about it, video games give you NOTHING in return for your time.

the writer dude pretty much said "its dead" and has no hope/interest in a sequel. some other company would have to buy the IP and start up the whole thing again, which wont happen.

its a bummer, i liked the games

The most fun I've had since rome 1,
every faction feels unique,
great mod support,
lord characters are a blast,

the only real negative is the price, and DLC overload

Did they finally make the AI not retarded during sieges?

THAT GAME FUCKING SUCKS
AND IT TOOK ME 700 HOURS TO REALIZE IT

...

>I see alot of "NOW HIRING" signs and applied to all of them. NO CALL BACKS
There's a grocery store near me that's had a hiring sign up for over a decade. I used to work as a stocker for the chain, and I know exactly why. Turnover. Shitty working conditions, shitty pay, and shitty leadership. As if near-minimum wage and union fees are worth all that. I don't consider myself below the position of stocking shelves, but the cost/benefit analysis just doesn't work out in their favor. I'm clearly not the only one who thinks so.

This is my right now, not by choice.
Graduated with a good major, have work experience but for the life of my can't find a job. Been throwing out the resumes and no responses. So basically all I do other than apply to jobs is take an online class, video games, jack off, drink

>be night security at a freight company
>just have to ensure the facility and containers go unmolested overnight
>sit in security room, with tons of cameras
>have motion sensors and motion tracking software
>once a month a nog scales the fence
>just scare him off by yelling at him over the loudspeakers
>rest of the time playing video games on my laptop and portables

I get paid to play video games, shitpost on Cred Forums and to tell niggers to fuck off. Then I go home and play and shitpost some more.

LIVING THE DREAM

>I for one believes that at least the first 4 items on the list should be provided unconditionally and for free to every human being alive.

Okay, so who are you going to enslave to do that, retard?

Fucking statists.

Hey that's what I've been doing(in Chicago no less) after I quit my job. The stress was killing me and I saved some money so I think I deserve a few months of just playing video games

pretty much
Rome 2 is decent NOW, but I'm still pissed from how shit it was when it released

>gradually push every decent job into 50-60 hours per week without extra pay
>surprised when people want to opt out

They give me entertainment and competition with my friends

I read and watch movies too

u mad?

i'd love to get one of these "jobs" you know where i can even find one of these "jobs"

This image is deceptive. It's labeled as "Latinos" but gives data for "Hispanics". It should use the words "rape babies" instead for more accuracy.

I want a job, but can't get one.

So I play video games.

>crippled so cant do manual labor/food/stores
>no experience doing anything
>no references
>no relevant education

Applied to about 300 places (entry level/minimum wage/only requirement listed is graduate high school kinds of jobs), never heard back a single time.

Feelsbadman

At least my parents feel sorry for me since I am miserable and won't throw me out, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

How do any of those things give you a return for your investment?

the video games are a choice, you could spend that $60 so sign up for a sports league and if you meet even just 1 single person, you will have gained a new friend, gotten healthier physically, emotionally and socially. all for the price of one fuckign video game.

you get way more out of spending money on self improvement in the real life.

video games are like the eternal jew, stealing thousands of hours, dozens of days of your life away FOREVER

>I for one believes that at least the first 4 items on the list should be provided unconditionally and for free to every human being alive.

I just got a job after 4 years of searching user. Hundreds of applications. HUNDREDS.

I did it user.

(Now waiting for the company to go bankrupt.)

Come to Gatlinburg. We have more than enough to go around

Lucky fuck.

they make me happy user, I've traveled, I did sports, hell I went full "All A's miss you forgot the homework once " but it never brought me the kind of joy You can feel with Vida, the friendships you can form. I ain't trying to disrespect you user, But I'm happy now

maybe the one not getting anything out of there time is you

Damn user, that sucks

So you have bottle glasses?

I think it has to do with a lot of factors, mainly social ones.

All men are now born into guilt and shame for being men, specially if they're white.
There's no need for men to be "men" anymore since women are seen as the superior sex in all attributes and are never wrong about anything.
>Toxic Masculinity
>Nu-Males
>Monogamy is problematic and sexist

Also women are taught and raised to only target the 10/10 guys. It's sexist if men do the opposite.

So nowadays, as a man, unless you're born into wealth and with good genes, there are no incentives whatsoever to improve yourself.

Add that to Atheism, Nihilism, Depression, Social Anxiety and the increasing feeling that all the odds are stacked against you and you get why "young adults" DO NOT WANT TO GROW UP: BECAUSE THEY SEE NO REASON TO.

It's just like that movie with George Clooney- "Up in the Air" where the main character asks his trainee to "sell him marriage" (the idea of it).

Now try selling the "growing up" meme to everyone else who is not a woman/wealthy in 2016.

I was referring to attila in comparison to Rome 2

ehhhhhh

well the AI is slightly improved
but seige battles are less complex now too

>you get way more out of spending money on self improvement in the real life.

Maybe to you, maybe he enjoys being alone. Is he bothering you?

yeah sorry germoney, maybe we'll both live long enough for robotslave commieland to let us live like something besides animals for free, but not likely
I would be happy to teach people under those conditions, but as both our countries know very well by now, with state-provided income comes state-provided propaganda, and most teachers these days are more cancerous to humanity than my leech ass is

Sell me on working.

yeah it fixed most things, just play it, you already own it at this point

Costs money to move across the country and live there.

I have literally $0 to my name, no transportation, nada.

>but seige battles are less complex now too
How? There was nothing complex about them

Napoleon was pretty gud

they arnt your friends brah, they are just junkie fucks like you

>muh user i shoot up H with my best friends and we lie there stoned out of our minds together for hours, such bonding...

>reading and movies
reading is actually good for you mentally, so you actually get something out of it, bonus if its nonfiction so you are actually learning information you might use one day to entertain someone or hold a fuckign conversation with, you know those things you never do anymore...

>u mad?
yeah actually, because I used to be bluepilled like you on video games, once you become woke, its extremely disheartening to watch a generation of men trade their life away in exchange for nothing

try travelign and tell me you get nothing out of it.
learning a sport literally helps you get in better shape and make friends, real friends too, like actual in the flesh alive people, not your e-friends

learning skills like uhhh i dunno woodworking of course provides you with a return, you can make shit instead of fucking buying it. you get good enough you can actually sell shit.

i know a woodworker who makes tables and sells them to yuppies for $5000 each. takes him like 2 weeks to make it

>At the same time, if a historically vibrant portion of the population doesn't feel as much desire to work, this could harm the economy's future and the ability of government to use policy to create jobs. "That's a big chunk of labor that could be used for something, and we're not using it," said Greg Kaplan, an economist at the University of Chicago who was not involved with the new research.

>the ability of government to use policy to create jobs.

Seems like NEETS need to keep it up. We need to have more NEETS.

i'm a little jealous desu

Even empire was better than that watered down should have been expansion

I'm 26 and never worked a job before. What can I do? Don't even know where to start.

>have degree
>have career
>have savings
>have video games
>have anime
>have weed
>have guns
>have no debt
They are so fucking mad right now.

maybe, or maybe that feeling will eventually fade and you still stop receiving the amount of joy that you do now (as happens with all addictions).

>But I'm happy now
addicts delude themselves into feeling this way

>maybe the one not getting anything out of there time is you

or maybe im just speaking from personal experience here, having eventually woken up to realise the true ugly side of spending thousands of your precious hours in front of meaningless moving pixels

are junkies on the street bothering you when they arnt asking for change?

a-a-are you me? I'm 26 and in the same position. I don't think anyone will ever hire me at this point so I've been selling garbage on ebay pretty much.

settlements only have one to two walls now, all infantry units can pull ladders out of there arses, and there are only two buildable siege equipments, a tower and a ram. but also have flying units that can assault behind the wall and monstrous infantry to batter down gates

That's just the thing, I have a job and I still go home and play video-games. If I could sit on my ass all day and live a comfortable life out of my parents inheritance I would, but my family isn't rich.

All I'm saying is, I don't agree with the lifestyle of these new generation of young males, but I can still understand why they don't mind it.

But literally whats the point of all that?

Most krauts seem to work and then play work simulators in their free time, so this adds up.

Living off your parents?

Doesn't sound too bad. The grapling hooks in empire made me wanna cringe

or you spending thousands of hours traveling for meaningless sightseeing

we all waste time somehow user

Yeah. I applied to a few jobs but they never contacted me back.

I have a degree too. In nothing.

this

vanilla WoW was GOAT

IF you're desperate you can always do usajobs.gov
you'll get a job if you don't mind going to a shit location and/or doing shit work. but you get past that first year and they can't dump you unless you murder someone

>try travelign and tell me you get nothing out of it.
I went to France once. It was terrible. You ever have a nigger harass you to buy a plastic Eiffel Tower while some hobo is playing pop music on an accordion? Just fuck my vacation up, senpai.

oh god I had forgotten about that

but at least you can cheeze infinite canon's anymore

I haven't played a video game in years, and I live in Chicago.

I have a web development business and I'm on my last semester of college.

Grown "men" who play video games should be purged

lol, were talking about morrowind v. oblivion. skyrim story line was garbage.

youtube.com/watch?v=nasX-AjpLc4

In my area there is no work, no welfare. I live on the pension of her grandmother at her house. What will daplshe - I do not know.

You are the bitch of whoever feeds you.

listen if you want to see the real france stay the fuck out of paris, travel to small historic medieval hamlets and small cities like Nice, trust me its infinitely better

Did you try calling a few days after putting in your application? Brown-nose while low-key checking to make sure they looked at it.

nah. WotLK was the peak. Everything after it is non canon

Why not purge 'em yourself, tough guy?

You're right, I should've taken a bus tour.

I pity people who have kids and literally have zero time for hobbies or anything that allows them to decompress. My workmates that have kids probably get online once a week to play BF and even then I can hear their kid screeching in the background and them trying to hush them. Tonite I played FF7 for 2 hrs just because, watched a bunch of videos on YouTube then watched a horror movie on hulu. I have a job, go to school and a have a gf, just Don't fall for the kids meme guys. Why would you want to bring a kid into this world anyway?

okay, so scratch "traveling" from the list of activities i mentioned, you still havent debunked anythign else i have said.

i can see your point that the value received from travel is extremely objective.

getting good a sport and making a bunch of new friends in the process? not so subjective

learning a craft? literal social and economic value

taking the time to learn how to hunt? huge physical, social and environmental benefit

you arnt going to convince me that all personal improvement is a waste of time and we might as well just spend what little time we have on this planet playing video games because it makes no difference in the end.

if you truly believe that then all I can say is you are in the grips of a major addiction, one which I have had experience, I can honestly tell you that after realising how little video games give, its much easier to quit them and move on with improving your life and situation

>muh my life doesnt need improvement
the true words of a defeatist cuck, im starting to see more and more why women dont want to fuck 80% of men...

Have you tried getting jobs where your parents work? Embarrassingly enough, I got hooked up with my first job because of my mother, essentially we became coworkers.

Though it was far from my area of study, it still was something, and I gained some work experience and new references I could use to move onto better jobs, and eventually work in my own field.

You're just addicted to self-improvement. Prove me wrong.

WotLK was peak PvP because of arena, but vanilla WoW was still just so fucking fun. WotLK raids were shit except for Ulduar, which was also GOAT. Everything after WotLK is clearly trash by comparison.

I dont work, because i don't want others to profit from my efforts.

Give me a fucking sauce!!!!! Pleaseeeeee

fuck bus's get a map a english to french dictionary and a car

yes i have toured as well my friend

there are parts of france you do not want to visit:
>palace of versallies
>eifel tower
>bataclan theatre
>haitan quarter
>etc etc

doesnt mean all of france sucks.

normandy was pretty based, the south has some awesome spots, lots of good partying going on the mediterranean.

this

Thief is GOAT

I've only played The Dark Project though

>no answer
>has literally no idea why he acts
literally btfo

why would i want to do that?

I am bettering my life and improving what few hours I have left.

You are worsening your life and literally burning what few hours you have left into nothing.

Prove me wrong

My father works construction and offered to get me a job there but the problem is I don't want to embarrass him publicly.

Stoya Powerfuck I think.

I've always been fond of this one.

just to be clear friend its just the palace you hold umbrage with not the gardens

I still play this absolute masterpiece.

how are you bettering your life? by what objective quality?

Men are just finding fulfillment in other ways and it's driving women crazy. Theyre actually faced with the prospect of fending for themselves because men don't want to be subjected to becoming a statistic of divorce rates or the inevitable taking of half your shit when it doesn't work out to complete perfection. Who would willingly sign up for that.

improvement without dedication is worthless, leaf
you're pretty much playing irl like a cheevo list

iv gotten liek 50 yous fucking shitskin, sorry i didnt bother responding to your crummy post right away...

>whats the point of all that?
the point of what? self improvement?

fuckit shitskin, you know what, if you are that far gone...just kill yourself, why bother even living you know? it all counts for nothing you die one day then its just black for eternity so fuckit just do yourself/humanity a favour and end it right now.

A lot of people like 2 more because it almost entirely gets rid of the supernatural (or rather horror) elements and focuses more on robbing things like mansions, banks, and other normal buildings. You should definitely play it though if you liked 1, especially if you felt yourself thinking "man, I wish I didn't have to deal with all these zombies".

There's also a shitton of amazing fan missions. The mission that this is a map of is almost an entire game in its own right.

I am 24, some college, not working and no job and currently not taking classes.

I am pretty sure I have some form of Work Aversion disorder that stems from anxiety. Video games are my escape but I can't escape from my addiction to video games.

>not working and no job
I dun goofed again

>Alan Krueger, a former chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, said the research presents "strong evidence that the increase in the number of less-educated young men who are not working is not entirely a result of weak demand for their services." He added, "They find evidence that a portion ... of the decrease in work time of less-educated young men can be a result of the appeal of video games."

"It's not our fault that millions of American men are jobless, they're just lazy."

They gutted American wages with their trade and labor policies and now they're upset that national GDP isn't increasing as fast as it could be. The government should be counting it's blessings as there are much worse things that unemployed men in their 20s and 30s could be doing aside from reducing expenses, living with family and docilely playing video games.

>Literally can't tell why he acts nor defend what he believes in
>all he can grasp are baseless insults
kek

you cant improve without dedication

feel free to disregard what i have said and continue spending the few years of life that you have on the latest and greatest tismcoaster. oo this time you go up the ride then down the ride. wow gee what a blast!

lmao holy shit you pleb
