Shit. I don’t have time for games. I’ll watch a YouTube video about it. Gaming for me these days consist of watching some YouTuber breakdown some game I’ve never heard of while I drift to sleep.
Lol same. “Bro you should play Elden Ring”. I have maybe an hour a week where I could reasonably play games, it would take me a decade
Not to judge too harshly (but I’m about to) but I spend a lot of my work time inside others homes and I constantly see grown ass men with kids and it’s obvious their entire lives revolve around call of duty or fortnite and I’m like wtf? What job do you have that allows you time to play that stuff so intensely and still be a reasonable role model for your kids?? I’m partly jealous and partly wondering if they’re even involved in shit outside of the gaming. I see it all the time, Dad is playing games while the kids are sitting in front of a tablet with headphones on at 2 in the afternoon on a fucking school day and they’re in their underwear or just diapers. Backyard is a disaster filled with dog shit and toys that haven’t been touched in months and I’m in there spraying pesticides to kill the bugs invading their house because no one in that family has even seen a broom less yet used one. These are upscale homes too, not some crack den. It’s fucking depressing to me mostly because you can almost smell the dysfunction.
I know it’s not everyone but it gets to me when I do see it because one day they’re gonna wonder when that kid grew up and why they are so anti social with them or why no one talks to each other.
Rant over I guess. Harangue me if you all want, I know I just did, but I gave that shit up to be a kick ass dad to my daughter and help her discover her interests, not shoving mine in her face or neglecting her interests for my own. My parents sucked and I see a lot of kids who are gonna feel the same as me.
Long story short, I bet Elden ring is the shit so I’m gonna watch YouTube videos about in bed lol.
