Games are the peak of progress.

Just as our animal body needs water and bread, our human soul needs art... and what is the peak of art, If not games?

The music, visuals, stories, interactivity, and competition. This, and more aspects, are all intertwined into a single, perfect being.

If not for the weakness of our crumbling shells, our only meaning would be to develop and nourish our souls... and there is no better alternative to gaming.

Oh, how woeful is our life of a slave to earthly limitations, where even the development of games takes years of sacrifice and hundreds of people...

If the games could just be created at a whim, then we finally could be saved and develop our most precious and core part of humanity.

Do remember - "A Man Chooses, a Slave Obeys." 

Will you waste your life away, chasing after what is mundane, or will you rise up, enjoy your life, and game yourself into true enlightenment?

Gamers have rights, gamers have lives.

I clicked on this thread humorously saying "The most marginalized group in the world? Gamers!" to myself, only for the first thing I saw to be GAMERS in its bold, caps-locked glory. 

Well done, good sir, for calling out the millennia of systemic abuse we've suffered as a people.

GLM, Gamer Lives Matter!

I love you peeps. Us gamers got to stick together!

To the minority of people who really do think of games as anything less than a perfectly reasonable form of entertainment, i guess congrats being here in a website full of webnovels, clearly a much more justifiable use of your time???

As long as you're productive with what you do. This is a site literally full of productivity.
If you're going to play games, be productive with it. Otherwise you're a loser. Take, like I said, Markiplier for example. Just one example out of thousands.

Yeah but how does having fun and being happy make someone a loser

Because it's virtually no different than doing nothing. If everyone did things to have fun and be happy than many of the services we have today wouldn't exist.

If no one did anything to have fun and be happy we'd be North Korea

I don't think you've realised that people don't wake up every day with a big smile on their face to make you coffee at Starbucks. Get a job first and you'll understand.

Would you extend the same logic though to people who read books for entertainment? Such as the ones we write? I only ask because if doing something for the sake of having fun makes someone a loser, then wouldn't our readers be losers?

Also, many of the people who work at Starbucks play video games when they're off work.

No I wouldn't. People don't invest 12+ hours of their time in reading a day. It's something that doesn't numb your dopamine levels either. To add to that, reading pretty much only has benefits. 

And I've already said that this is aimed towards the jobless. I'm fully aware that games even have 18+ age ratings. Otherwise, if you're not productive with it, you're a loser.

This thread is a pretty fun thread, but boy oh boy, you come off as someone horribly unpleasant to be around.

Everyone has their group of friends who share similar views. Sort of how there a bunch of vegetarians shaming meat eaters, and hey, they're technically right, but oh my, don't we think they are horribly unpleasant to be around because we just got shamed for pointlessly eating sentient animals for our own pleasure.

If you have no job, you're a loser to me in the same way I'm horribly unpleasant to be around to you. Opinions are fun that way.

Wow, this discussion reminds of that meme If you are homeless just buy a house.

out of honest curiosity, who is more of a loser to you: a jobless gamer, or a jobless weeb 

Beverlyy Wrote: I don't want people to care about my point. If I lived like that I would be the one sitting on my ass doing nothing.

Gamers with no jobs are losers. Anyone without a job is a loser, but especially people who waste hours upon hours of time artificially inflating dopamine levels and doing nothing for anyone.

Do you always walk into conversations about something and open it about something completely different? Like, will you walk into a discussion about wallpaint and open with your opinion on jobless wall painters? Painting walls is unproductive after all and the paint on walls are merely there for peoples fleeting enjoyment.

Delightful. 

Idk why people bother in engaging with IT lol 

I feel gaming is heavily popularized these days. The stigma attached isn't as bad as it was years ago, I find most adults I know play video games, hell my adoptive parents who are retired marines sit around playing Skyrim and Mass effect all day. My GF regularly plays Comp Plat healer n overwatch, and I'm basically a force multiplier in every shooter I play w/ like the exception of Destiny. Even a couple of us writers have a dedicated server group where we build bases and fight off zombies together while looting stuff. 

If anything, gaming is more popular than ever. Hell, Destiny 2 has a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR DLC and CiV Six has like 10 DLCs that are like 10 bucks each for just additional civilizations lol. The gaming industry is booming, and lets not even talk about Gacha games. Fate made like 1 billion dollars in revenu last year, and in college my entire English class formed a guild together lmao

It's the boomers that don't play video games you should be worried about. Playing vidya games is becoming the norm, we're already taking over, some ppl just aren't aware of it yet lmao.
