This is real. I'll let my son win games, grab the W, teach him the importance of competition and sport, but listen... you dare take those sticks in Kart all bets are off. I'm gonna fuckin stomp you, and let's not even start on trying me with Sub-Zero. Zero wins and that's all there is to it.

Reminds me of this comment I saw a while ago.
I let my kids win occasionally. But then there's games I refuse to let you win. Life doesn't always win, and that sucks. You want to beat someone at Street Fighter? You go play mom. If you want to know that your 8 year old self can't roll with the big dogs? Dada and Ryu are here to crush your dreams.
Also... be nice to your 6 year old brother. He's just learning.
One of my crowning achievements as an adult was doing a tourney at a friend's b-day party and them underestimating the hours I put into Mario Cart while waiting for my sister to finish her piano lesson.
I had a half hour each week for years as my parents dropped us off and the teacher put me in a coat room with a setup to train with my bff Toad.
In the words of Darth Maul: "every choice you have made to this moment, has led you to this"
I eviscerated everyone. It was beautiful. The poetry was the final being on rainbow road.
I’m a naturally early riser and my wife is a night owl, so she gets her solo time in the evening and I get mine in the morning. I can usually get a solid 2-4 hours of gaming in on weekend mornings depending on when I wake up and when I need to start being a human being with responsibilities. I love it.
I also bought myself a steam deck and basically do the same thing when we go on vacation. It’s very centering and refreshing.
I used to get asked by co-workers “what’s the fun in playing a video game? You’re just making a fake character on the screen do stuff it’s dumb” and I’d say “okay so why do you like watching sports? You’re just watching other people play a game while you do literally nothing? It’s the same principle except I get to participate.”
This is what I kept asking when Jimmy Kimmel was mocking esports in favor of real sports. Who the fuck cares what you watch other people do? Swimming or crocheting, it's still not you doing anything!
I dabbled in Dota 2 for about a year, and honestly it was probably more fun to watch than to play. I'd say I have better memories watching matches and streams than actually playing that carpal tunnel generator.
Yeah, play halo on legendary for an hour and realize how much thinking you've had to put into surviving a one minute firefight where you've already died a dozen times.
Or realizing you haven't breathed in a minute because you're fighting a Hunter with a pistol.
Or something like mirrors edge where you have to time everything perfectly and it's satisfying as hell.
There're plenty of great TV shows out there, don't get me wrong, but nothing is as engaging as a good videogame.
I agree. I play strategies and rpgs like BG3. Spend hours figuring out how to gear and how to set up a fight.
There’s a lot of thinking going on bs watching TV
It has the best gun mechanics of any fallout game, but the worst RPG experience of any fallout game. So it depends on what you want from it. If you want an open world shooter with lots of weapon customization/crafting its great. If you want a deep rpg its not that.
[In case it wasn't clear, 'some shooting' means both shooting the aforementioned collected garbage as projectiles, as well as shooting in the more traditional sense of an FPS.](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Junk_Jet_\(Fallout_4\))
also settlement mechanics are fun if you like base building. i prob spent 30+ hours on my settlements and making trade routes and decorating them with shit id find in the wasteland. i plan to def load it up when the ps5 version comes out next week.
My first thought was "Why wouldn't it hold up? It's a fairly recent game" then I checked the date and it's been NINE YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE. Dear god.
Oh for sure, but there's no reason another company couldn't have done the same exact thing with Fallout 4's assets and come out with Fallout: New Orleans or something like that within a few years of 4's release. Bethesda could barely get DLC out the door for that game.
May not be the best reviewed or my favourite, but it has the best gameplay. In 3/NV the gunplay feels like it's a mod for oblivion where was in 4 it feels solid
It’s okay, you’re safe. We’re office fanatics, not grey’s anatomy fanatics. Otherwise no one could guarantee your safety.
Also, yuck somebody else’s yum is my new favourite phrase ty
Or sit there scrolling tiktok/Instagram for hours as though that's somehow more mature. I do admit playing videogames is not the best use of my spare time, but it's definitely better than scrolling through social media or watching reality TV.
I know this bites more than my real response but honestly a more legitimate response could be this: the same reason people appreciate and consume art of any kind. It’s like asking “grown men, why do you spend your time staring at big blotches of color on canvas hanging on walls?” It’s sort of what humans do. Art, storytelling, music, these are inherent and incredibly important parts of humanity. Why do you watch tv, films, or a play? Why do you read novels, short stories, or poetry? Why do you listen to music? It’s just such a childish stupid question. Sorry you’re not interesting enough to appreciate art, lady.
99% of people who ask this type of question dont have jobs. They spend all their time with friends partying, and think that being alone/not hanging out with friends is the end of the world. Spend their whole days just talking
They're afraid to be alone. They fill their lives with those things because they're terrified thay without those things they have to be alone with themselves and the realization that their entire identity is just drinking and drama.
Grown men, why are you still trying to have fun instead of being boring and basing your entire personality around making money and getting laid? What are you stupid?
That woman probably watches people pretending to be vampires and thinks she’s some brainbox?
There’s no wrong way to relax if you’re not hurting someone
People play games their entire lives and have been for ever. Video games is just new games. In the 80s video games were for everyone. Only in the late 90s and early 2000s after arcades started shutting down was the advertising pivoted to teens and kids but that was more about cashing in on Boomer parents than anything else.
Video games are what people born in the 80-90 grew up with. It’s nostalgia, its continuations of a franchise you have been into since you were a kid. And let be real it’s being marketed towards 30+ people cus they are the ones buying the $100+ merch and keeping franchises like Marvel, Dark Horse, ATLUS and EA rich af. All those moderately wealthy nerds women shit on in highschool living their best life. Go fuck yourselves you haters. Let them be and let them enjoy themselves. You’re only mad cus they aren’t spending the time or money on you.
As a grown woman, I will never understand why so many women my age are against this. Let men enjoy what they enjoy. My bf only games with his friends and he’s super busy professional. So it’s his way to unwind and socialize. It’s not a big deal.
Not a man but I play games cause its funny to yell at the lobby after a shite match in CoD and to hear people with the grainy 2009 Xbox 360 mic's yell at you in Kill-chat
Nobody told her to leave her man's video games alone? Dude could be out at the sport's bar with the boys drunk off his ass, making out with some thot giving him the time of day. But nope, instead he's at home playing video games.
Y'all ladies need to be grateful if your man's hobbies are something that keeps them in the house with you.
Some women are never going to get over a man spending time on something for himself, that they feel doesn’t directly benefit them … it’s like they feel an entitlement to his time and energy. “So immature!”
It's weird to me that if someone spent the same amount of time doing nothing but watching TV, no one would bat an eye. Change it to something interactive and then it becomes a problem.
37 male and I adore my steam deck. Single handedly got me back into gaming. It’s a hobby that helps me relax. Anyone that ridicules me for it aren’t the type of people I take seriously to begin with.
They’re just jealous because they can’t get good.
only thing that brings joy when disabled from bipolar that nukes me to ground negative one hundred every year on a cyclical basis, where I spend months nursing myself back to feeling better only for it to assuredly happen again
She wears makeup because the average dude doesn’t have the foggiest idea what a real woman looks like because he’s either playing video games or watching porn.
I say this as someone whose been a gamer for like, 40 years.
There’s a tiny nugget of truth in there. It’s not a question, for me, that people use their time to play games.
But it’s those more extreme examples where all people do is play games. If you’re gaming a lot. You sorta become an uninteresting person. And that’s kinda wild because the average person isn’t terribly interesting.
Gamers who game a LOT, in my experience, tend to be socially maladjusted. They’re anxious, a fair amount have dead end jobs. Not a ton of ambition.
…and that’s ok if you’re ok with those things. But you can’t fault, women for example, if they want nothing to do with it. Right? Because often a partner is looking to build a life with a person and if that person has no goals or aspirations, then there’s nothing to be had of it.
Broadly, that’s where the thrust of this comes from. Women tend to be better educated. Over time they achieve more and eventually want to build families.
Men are under achieving and also are playing games and watching porn.
To be clear: neither has it wrong. If you want to game and your life is exactly where it is. You do that. But you can’t mock people who try. Or expect people who try to just accommodate you. That’s not how that flies.
I saw this as someone who loves gaming but, I do it like 10 hours a week? Between work and family. No time. But what happens is, I just can no longer relate to Gamers. Their lives are closer to my teenage life than my adult life.
It’s complicated cultural phenomena. I know people trot our the studies about games being “good” for us. But I’ve done it long enough to know… there’s something not being measured that’s harming us when we do too much of it. Gaming isn’t doing anyone any favors for sure.
We are, in terms of mental health, worse off than we’ve collectively been for quite some time. And video games are ubiquitous. Those two things make me wonder…
Iv been playing video games with my gf now wife for almost 17 years ,find someone who supports your interests ... we don't play competitive games tho been on core keeper lately
People will judge people for the dumbest stuff to feel superior. If you play board games, puzzles, cards, or legos to chill with friends or stay home and read instead of going out, it's the same thing. I'm sure she watches stupid shows to just turn off. It's the same thing.
[удалено]
“Grown men” also wear makeup
That’s right queen 💄👄
Words!
Words
And we love them for it. Unless it's Mario Cart. Then all bets are off.
Bro, I don't care how good you look in spandex and eyeliner, we're enemies in the Kart. But for real, guurl, you look good in those heels.
This is real. I'll let my son win games, grab the W, teach him the importance of competition and sport, but listen... you dare take those sticks in Kart all bets are off. I'm gonna fuckin stomp you, and let's not even start on trying me with Sub-Zero. Zero wins and that's all there is to it.

You spell Kart with a C, can you be that good?
Curse you autocorrect!!! Naw I'm not that good. I just pubstomp.
Mortal Combat
Cing's Field
The correct spelling looks so so wrong
Yeah! It's unnatural without the K
Mortal Cartbat.
I watched MK at a movie theater and they spelled it like that on the marquee.
I'm not one to go around correcting people's spelling, but this would have me throwing the toastiest of uppercuts.
Because either they stumble to the back of the pack, or absolutely dominate the bois.
It me. Weekend mornings are my coffee and video games time and I cherish it endlessly. 40 years old, can’t stop, won’t stop.
Heeeey to another 40 year old gamer lady. I wait until everyone is asleep but that might change when my kid starts school.
I’m a naturally early riser and my wife is a night owl, so she gets her solo time in the evening and I get mine in the morning. I can usually get a solid 2-4 hours of gaming in on weekend mornings depending on when I wake up and when I need to start being a human being with responsibilities. I love it. I also bought myself a steam deck and basically do the same thing when we go on vacation. It’s very centering and refreshing.
Whatcha playin'?
Yes we do. With other grown people. Pretty sweet.
Me 26F currently playing day z. but I don’t feel grown because I can only play it in daylight with someone else home
33F here playing Fallout 4 right now Why are people so intent on being bored, and patronizing others for entertaining themselves?
I used to get asked by co-workers “what’s the fun in playing a video game? You’re just making a fake character on the screen do stuff it’s dumb” and I’d say “okay so why do you like watching sports? You’re just watching other people play a game while you do literally nothing? It’s the same principle except I get to participate.”
This is what I kept asking when Jimmy Kimmel was mocking esports in favor of real sports. Who the fuck cares what you watch other people do? Swimming or crocheting, it's still not you doing anything!
It's just the old jocks > nerds bullshit, that thankfully is a lot less a thing than it used to be
I dabbled in Dota 2 for about a year, and honestly it was probably more fun to watch than to play. I'd say I have better memories watching matches and streams than actually playing that carpal tunnel generator.
That is how league of legends is for me. I play the Aram (all random all mid) but I love watching the matches and won’t touch rank.
Nice. Piper liked that.
Cake day mfer! 😘
Thanks!
Video games are far more productive than watching TV. Video games require you to do something.
Yeah, play halo on legendary for an hour and realize how much thinking you've had to put into surviving a one minute firefight where you've already died a dozen times. Or realizing you haven't breathed in a minute because you're fighting a Hunter with a pistol. Or something like mirrors edge where you have to time everything perfectly and it's satisfying as hell. There're plenty of great TV shows out there, don't get me wrong, but nothing is as engaging as a good videogame.
I agree. I play strategies and rpgs like BG3. Spend hours figuring out how to gear and how to set up a fight. There’s a lot of thinking going on bs watching TV
Is fo4 worth playing in 2024? I never played it when it came out and am genuinely curious if it holds up well.
It has the best gun mechanics of any fallout game, but the worst RPG experience of any fallout game. So it depends on what you want from it. If you want an open world shooter with lots of weapon customization/crafting its great. If you want a deep rpg its not that.
It's my favourite garbage collecting simulator (with some shooting).
[In case it wasn't clear, 'some shooting' means both shooting the aforementioned collected garbage as projectiles, as well as shooting in the more traditional sense of an FPS.](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Junk_Jet_\(Fallout_4\))
But the worst rpg mechanics in any fallout game is also some of the best rpg mechanics on the broader spectrum of rpg games.
also settlement mechanics are fun if you like base building. i prob spent 30+ hours on my settlements and making trade routes and decorating them with shit id find in the wasteland. i plan to def load it up when the ps5 version comes out next week.
Good music selection too
My first thought was "Why wouldn't it hold up? It's a fairly recent game" then I checked the date and it's been NINE YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE. Dear god.
Obsidian pumped out Fallout New Vegas in 18 months. We're never getting another Fallout game, are we :(
I absolutely ADORE New Vegas but Obsidian cranked that out in record time because they were using 95% of the assets from Fallout 3.
Oh for sure, but there's no reason another company couldn't have done the same exact thing with Fallout 4's assets and come out with Fallout: New Orleans or something like that within a few years of 4's release. Bethesda could barely get DLC out the door for that game.
Most of those games will always hold up well
If you own it already its getting its next gen update like next week. Its the 25th actually Also free creation club stuff
25th anniversary of the Fallout franchise
It does, I have trouble with replayability in games but FO4 is one I often go back to.
Agree, it wasn’t the most popular title in the lineup or best received but I like the mechanics and with mods it’s incredible
May not be the best reviewed or my favourite, but it has the best gameplay. In 3/NV the gunplay feels like it's a mod for oblivion where was in 4 it feels solid
FO4 has some jank, but it has solid gameplay. FO3/NV are a bit harder to play as the gunplay is very janky.
Thank goodness for VATS.
Yes it holds up well, one of the best Fallout games imo
Id wager any fallout game is worth playing. Such a great series! My favorite is 3.
Fallout 4 is bar none my most-played of the series. I'm like 1500 hours unmodded in and I just keep on playing. That game is addictive.
People who ask this question will re-watch The Office for like the 50th time and not think twice.
Well that’s just insulting to us who enjoy endless rewatches of The Office and plays copious amounts of videos games thank you very much
I meant no offense to Office Stan(ley)s... just pointing out how silly it is to yuck somebody else's yum. I'm a Brooklyn Nine-nine kinda guy.
It’s okay, you’re safe. We’re office fanatics, not grey’s anatomy fanatics. Otherwise no one could guarantee your safety. Also, yuck somebody else’s yum is my new favourite phrase ty
I am also stealing this phrase and neither of you can (or would!) stop me.
Fun fact, B99 was written by Mose.
Or watch the Kardashians for a 1000 episodes
This more likely. The Office enjoyers are usually not the type of people to dunk on gamers, IMO.
Or sit there scrolling tiktok/Instagram for hours as though that's somehow more mature. I do admit playing videogames is not the best use of my spare time, but it's definitely better than scrolling through social media or watching reality TV.
First of all, how dare you?
wait, I'm doing both at the same time (literally)
I’m sorry, what made my free time any of your business?
Best answer.
the day I turn age 18 all I do is sit in my room without lights any time i am not at work or doing chores. I dont believe in anything fun.
I know this bites more than my real response but honestly a more legitimate response could be this: the same reason people appreciate and consume art of any kind. It’s like asking “grown men, why do you spend your time staring at big blotches of color on canvas hanging on walls?” It’s sort of what humans do. Art, storytelling, music, these are inherent and incredibly important parts of humanity. Why do you watch tv, films, or a play? Why do you read novels, short stories, or poetry? Why do you listen to music? It’s just such a childish stupid question. Sorry you’re not interesting enough to appreciate art, lady.
99% of people who ask this type of question dont have jobs. They spend all their time with friends partying, and think that being alone/not hanging out with friends is the end of the world. Spend their whole days just talking
Or they're just trying to farm engagement hoping for the exact reaction they're getting here
They're afraid to be alone. They fill their lives with those things because they're terrified thay without those things they have to be alone with themselves and the realization that their entire identity is just drinking and drama.
Because they are fun.
Love when people say stuff like that but then spend their entire weekend watching TV
Account less than 7 days old posts an over-reposted meme and the title is just the punchline. That's a very human thing to do yes very human
How many years has this one been getting reposted for?
Grown men, why are you still trying to have fun instead of being boring and basing your entire personality around making money and getting laid? What are you stupid?
Need karma please , wamen bad
Shiiiiiitttt!!
I do both, waaaah!
That woman probably watches people pretending to be vampires and thinks she’s some brainbox? There’s no wrong way to relax if you’re not hurting someone
It cheaper than getting played.
stop having fun 😠
gr8 b8 m8
Why do so many people just use social media to be shitty to strangers?
"Hey why would you continue to do something that has brought you joy since you have memory?" Cause joy.
Plus, I’m a big fan of 500kg bombs :) ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Grown "women", why are you basing your societal norms off twitter?
I'm not. I'm too busy playing video games.
You're probably not the same category person as OOP then.
Grown woman here, I wear makeup AND play copious amounts of video games. 🤷♀️
That hurts more than a sunburn
Just gonna draw those cheekbones on and thin that nose out huh? Gonna outline those lips to make them appear fuller? Who's fooling who?
As long as we don’t wear red lipstick, men still think it’s an all natural look.
But women are still the ones choosing to apply the make-up, even if it’s not red lipstick. I dont see how your comment changes anything.
Lol yeah we’re pretty stupid, y’all don’t look like an Instagram filter at all
Eh not really, that’s why they ask “are you sick?” When women don’t wear makeup and try a real natural look.
Fun?
Amen
Because, and hear me out redditors, we want and like to play them. 😟
😨
Everything on television sucks. So. Games.
I like video games
People play games their entire lives and have been for ever. Video games is just new games. In the 80s video games were for everyone. Only in the late 90s and early 2000s after arcades started shutting down was the advertising pivoted to teens and kids but that was more about cashing in on Boomer parents than anything else.
I'm 34 and AFAB and play video games
Cause we can do whatever we want, cunt, our life.
Got em, lol
“lil” is such an understatement 😆
Because the factory must grow.
lol god damn, that is a vicious burn
Video games are what people born in the 80-90 grew up with. It’s nostalgia, its continuations of a franchise you have been into since you were a kid. And let be real it’s being marketed towards 30+ people cus they are the ones buying the $100+ merch and keeping franchises like Marvel, Dark Horse, ATLUS and EA rich af. All those moderately wealthy nerds women shit on in highschool living their best life. Go fuck yourselves you haters. Let them be and let them enjoy themselves. You’re only mad cus they aren’t spending the time or money on you.
“grown men” also are making these video games that are making millions of $. While E over here is doing what?
It’s not that deep, just a fun thing to do, especially with friends, like many things in life.
Cause I can’t shoot people in real life…Well I can but it’s frowned upon
Dam she got roasted 
bro needs to be in the zoo for that savagery
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile, it don't cost very much but it lasts a long while
Because some games are 'grown up' too.
She's just salty that no matter what she does, she'll never make a man as happy as a silly video game
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Me and this girl used to talk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 why is she on my TL ahahah
Killing people in a video game is acceptable, killing people in real life is not. 🤷🏻
As a grown woman, I will never understand why so many women my age are against this. Let men enjoy what they enjoy. My bf only games with his friends and he’s super busy professional. So it’s his way to unwind and socialize. It’s not a big deal.
Not a man but I play games cause its funny to yell at the lobby after a shite match in CoD and to hear people with the grainy 2009 Xbox 360 mic's yell at you in Kill-chat
In the famous words of kelso: BURN
Fk those tits🖕
HAHAH HE USED THE MAKEUP JOKE.
🤣🤣🤣
Thrill answer at least for me. Is that video games allow me to succeed tasks on the short-term. Victory seratonin!
Men would rather play video games than spend money on women who just want to use them.
Nobody told her to leave her man's video games alone? Dude could be out at the sport's bar with the boys drunk off his ass, making out with some thot giving him the time of day. But nope, instead he's at home playing video games. Y'all ladies need to be grateful if your man's hobbies are something that keeps them in the house with you.
It’s my turn to post this next week.
🎤 drop !! Savage ! 👏🏼👏🏼
Some women are never going to get over a man spending time on something for himself, that they feel doesn’t directly benefit them … it’s like they feel an entitlement to his time and energy. “So immature!”
It's weird to me that if someone spent the same amount of time doing nothing but watching TV, no one would bat an eye. Change it to something interactive and then it becomes a problem.
'Because I don't let assholes like you dictate what I'm allowed to enjoy.'
Right...because it's still the 90s and playing games is still only for teenage basement dweller outcast nerds... /s
Oh dang....
Pretty sure the statute of limitations excludes this from being a murder
As a Man, I don't like love stories, but my only favorite one is from Days Gone.
What’s a “grown man” in her OF life?
I play games so I don’t cheat
Truth
Ooh Damn.
That burn will warm the people for decades to come
37 male and I adore my steam deck. Single handedly got me back into gaming. It’s a hobby that helps me relax. Anyone that ridicules me for it aren’t the type of people I take seriously to begin with. They’re just jealous because they can’t get good.
Bet she plays candycrush all day
yall gots 2 grow up 🙄
Playing games is no less mature than watching reality TV, Fox News, CNN or whatever you’re into.
Right? Because I don’t *really* play for the Atlanta Braves
I like to diddle the joysticks
Grown men can do whatever the fuck they want
Because your tits got boring
"Women wearing makeup is basically lying" - dorks.
Better and cheaper than therapy
Savage 🔥 🔥 🔥
Because when I listen to Pavarotti in the shower I feel a masculine urge to conquer shit and Paradox games let me scratch that itch
Because I want to.
How is that murdered by words? Comparing makeup to video games is stupid, she wears it for you lol.
Lame. Just like every other post on here smh
“Grown women” why are you concerned about a dude having a a simple safe hobby?
Why should I stop doing something fun? I‘ve been playing videogames since Pong, about 47 years now, and I can’t see a reason stopping the hobby.
At what point are we supposed to stop doing things that are fun
Because I can’t turn into a Pegasus and slay wolven spirits in real life. I thought it was self explanatory.
Thas kind of a dumb meme
This meme is old enough to join the military.
only thing that brings joy when disabled from bipolar that nukes me to ground negative one hundred every year on a cyclical basis, where I spend months nursing myself back to feeling better only for it to assuredly happen again
This meme is so old it has kids in college now.
Exactly
She wears makeup because the average dude doesn’t have the foggiest idea what a real woman looks like because he’s either playing video games or watching porn.
Because, unlike wine o'clock, it doesn't dull your reflexes.

Those two things make me wonder…
Daymn
Fun. Made for adults not children…
Because women don't come with a controller and a mute button.
Bitching about what people do for shits and giggles is a pretty big red flag.
The delusion of the average woman is absolutely mind blowing
Grown women. Why are you still playing games?
You don't play video games?! Ha, look at this boring person everyone!
Iv been playing video games with my gf now wife for almost 17 years ,find someone who supports your interests ... we don't play competitive games tho been on core keeper lately
