I’m honna blame war on everything they do wrong
As a parent and a gamer trust me video games only hold you back. They’re fun, there’s no questioning that, but you could be exercising, reading a book or bunch of healthier stuff……so yeah listen to your parents kid.
Whatever their hobby is blame all their flaws and fails on that, bet they wont like it
In my case it is true tho ;-;
I wonder if parents blame other hobbies (like stamp collecting or dried flower arrangement) for their kids failure to achieve their goals.
I play video games regularly and still got into Harvard…
I got what i believe to be spermmatorhea when i was 15 and my parents still blamed video games, even though the doctor told them “nothing causes it, it just happens”
tbf a lot of gamers play far too much to the point it does negatively impact their life. I say this as someone who does this as well. If i had never gotten into gaming i’d either be dead or doing much better in life.
As I approach 40 and gain some wisdom of years… my parents constantly telling me to study more and play games less, were not wrong.
This is a bit of a sour point for me. Ofc, playing too much is bad. But when I was a kid, my parents said that now was the time for study and I could play once I’m old and successful. However, after growing up, they said that gaming is a childish thing.
Given that I’m grown up now, I decided to take my own feelings into account. Now, I do play, even though my parents frown upon it. Admittedly, being a gaming virgin, I lost control in the amount of time I played and became addicted, but now I’m trying to pull myself together again and be reasonable with my gaming time.
“You tripped over? Can’t just click retry”
Older man advise. Get a degree. Then you can be single and lonely for rest of your life play video games and argue on chats about bs until you are old.
*me getting migraines everyday as a kid*
My parents: it’s because you’re in front of that computer and video games every day!
Also my parents: encourage me to get a summer job where I’m in front of a computer all day, every day
Granted, I really appreciate them encouraging me to get a job and helping me get one that paid well. But also as a solution to my migraines, I was confused.
True
You’re lucky they don’t call it an addiction
Dude, just achieve goals… Then no one cares… Even admire that thing they used to talk shit about….
Maybe it’s worth taking a long hard look at yourself.
Are you progressing with your education and / or career AND playing games in your spare time
OR
Are you just playing games all day long, letting everything else in your life rot and fall apart in the process?
To much?
If I finish my homework on time. Study everyday, do well on exams. Then my parents don’t say anything to me about video games.
It can though. I’m sure there’s many instances where people play games way too much and they don’t study
Ok, here’s a question, are you playing too much? Because there is a thing called “overdoing it”.
Me learning most of English in games. Doupt
