ok and?

>>18832 obligatory

“spouse” is globohomo pozzed language

I want to game with great anime thighs. Begone white woman. SAGE

The second clip is disturbing. Maybe I'd be more addicted to gaming if they didn't suck now.

>>18835 true. sounds like calling your kid "spawn"

>>18832 >Widow >Gamer >The Huh?

Methinks people ave bigger antisocial media addictions than video game one

>>18832 Second video is so sad and cringy. Bitch is virtue signaling about ruining a 10 year marriage and 3 kids lives, destroying her own family and blaming video games. All the while with the fucking TV flashing in the background. Normies hate whatever they are told to hate. Tell this bitch to throw away her television and watch her fucking reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Stop watching talmudvision that tells you to get a divorce and be a stronk independent woman single mom who always puts her kids first and shieeeeeeet.

Are you still trying to fit in? Wasn't that an adolescence thing?

>>18842 Jewtv is pure misery, just let people enjoy games, hell women have their own games too

<low quality barely rage bait <omg guise a woman says something Permaban this jew OP

>>18832 >>18844 YAAAAAAAAAAAAS HECKING VIDEOGOYIMS

>>18845 Yeah that too Also that "woman" looks jewish

>>18841 We aren't suppose to acknowledge social media addiction because it mostly effects women

>>18841 It's quite literally the worst addiction next to substance abuse because it objectively lowers intelligence and makes women speak and act like children. People should lecture women, especially the zoomer kind, about this bullshit but obviously you won't see it. They end up continuing their bad habits as if it's nothing compared to le epic video game addiction.

>>18832 >third video Hi Alex. Haven't you asked yourself the question yet?

I play videogames for more than four hours a week. I am literally a criminal.

>>18832 Have you considered not telling people you have 100s of hours in Rapelay?

>>18839 would call my kid that though

Only a hundred hours? Rookie numbers.

>>18832 i hope we're all virgins here

You go girl!

>>18842 I love when people like this bitch about people being addicted to games then someone grabs their social media account, the date it was created and the total number of tweets they have sent (or Instagram messages etc) and it always ends up like 20+ tweets a day on average lol total social media addiction or some shit.

>gaming >basketball game We're built different. I'm happily married with two kids, and I've spent thousands of hours playing autist games. I play games you can pause when they're awake and need direct interaction and play games where I can't pause after they've gone to sleep. Your man is a retard normie, not a 'gamer'. Also, kill all women.

>>18832 Don't normie women drop 100 hours in animal crossing and the sims? And spend a lot of real money on mobile games?

>>18859 Doesn't count, chud

>>18859 nevermind that, they spend all their time on insta, watching shows, and other stupid shit. These bitches act like they work 24/7. There are way too many fat bitches to make me believe they actually do more than men.

>>18832 Reminder they refuse to acknowledge their contributions to the present situation.

>>18832 >>/vb/

>>18832 >entire video is just reading text >feels the need to put her face in it, because everything must be about her. >video games are the top reason for divorce (100% initiated by women) >women are the most affected by this because the men aren't giving me attention 24/7 >hobbies are a problem because his life doesn't revolve around me. man, i hate women so much its unreal

>>18832 I wonder if normie women treat gamer women with insane hours the same way. I'd wager they do because women hate each other more than any man unless they're radfems.

I don't get putting 100 hours into a game. Especially modern slop.

>>18832 Oh for fucks sake, go back to the sharty where you obviously came from. I love seeing how outnumbered you are now all the bots and obvious troublemakers are no longer around to back you up. Nobody cares about your sneering judgement you wannabe poor mans Andrew Tate. Women who judge you for your hobbies aren't worth keeping around, changing yourself in a manner you dislike for a little bit of pussy ironically enough makes YOU the loser.

This is like some kind of halfchan off-topic bait I haven't seen since it's shutdown.

>>18832 >100 hours of playtime in any given videogame is a turn off that's why you need to get rich anon, slap that bitch with a fat wad of cash then she'll never give a fuck whatever you're into.

Just holes being dumb and blaming stuff they don't easily control in men for why their lives are such a shambles. In reality, they need to stop voting for destructive politicial policies and working bullshit jobs.

Basically, I'm just going to keep playing video games is all. I KNOW, I KNOW, but I'm just going to keep playing! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>18832 >Choosing Games over his daughter >Daughter is sitting in his arms What does foid want him to do? Shake the baby? They are both relaxing together.

>>18832 >A girl finding out that a guy has more than 100 hours of playtime in any given videogame (singleplayer or multiplayer it doesn't matter) elicits the same, visceral disgust reaction than many men when they find out that a girl has had history with 20 men or more. huhh... *checks in-game* 9,229 hours in FFXIV and I think 4,000+ hours in WoW

Imagine being a normal guy... and having a FREAK of a gamer girlfriend... who spends 2k hours on animal crossing and stardew valley... I'm scared bros...

>>18987 Gay sex will NEVER count

>>18864 It's like the me guy, except irl

>>18835 it didnt used to be, it was just a generic phrase, a 1.5syllable word instead of the 2 syllable word "partner", but yeah, troons and troon-enablers have poisoned the term, alongside countless others. >>18842 based and true.

>>18832 Just don't tell them. This isn't just for videogames, women don't understand how men spend their time generally. If a woman asks "how long have you spent playing a game/games just say "I don't know, too much probably" (add in facial expressions and movements like a normal person you autist), same with scrolling shorts, right etc..." If you tell a woman you like to spend hours in the woods looking at plants or building campfires, sharpening axes (which men would see as inherently kind of respectable - no guilt feeling unlike gaming marathons) she will also think you are strange. Looking at a collected time for an activity that isn't directly productive elicits a shame/disgust reaction because of how the figure looks. If you were to check how long you/the average person has spent watching tv soaps, films, sport, Netflix series etc.... it would also look terrible: "oh gross he/she has wasted 500 hours watching tv drama, what a waste, doesn't he/she have any friends?", or "ugh how sad she has been on social media for 2,000 hours what a loser", it is just that we don't have a counter attached to everyone's television/music listening/other bullshit free time. Most gaming platforms (steam, console etc.) have an attached time counter which slaps you in the face with it. TLDR/REDDIT blurb: Don't tell women in hours the time you spend doing a hobby/wasting time, especially with hour figures as our brains look at it strangely - you shouldn't give a shit what women think of your hobbies anyway, those are for you.

>>18867 You think the anons on cuckchan /v/ who'd keep posting "self-improvement"/"MAN UP"/why don't you have a wife and kids threads are sharty/kf christians? I can see it.

>>18865 When women game, it's empowering.

>>18832 Vid 1 is 100% a passive-aggressive cunt who cannot handle when her man has any hobby that he gives his undivided attention, whether it's gaming, playing the guitar, fishing, watching football, or working out, it doesn't fucking matter. She will not stomach the fact that he has a block of time where he is unavailable to her because she fundamentally thinks in a relationship she is entitled to erode a man's personal boundaries because she thinks the GF is always priority #1. Her issue isn't that her ex is a gamer. Her issue is that she is controlling and demanding and any activities where a man has allocated a block of time that she is not to interrupt is a threat to her control. She is threatened by a man setting boundaries against her even over harmless activities. Vid 2 might be a legitimate complaint. If you cannot look after your children you are a tool. Some guys aren't cut out to be parents, don't know how to juggle priorities, and don't put in the effort to learn either. That's horrible and ffs don't be that guy. Vid 3 is an idiot who didn't grow up properly and lacked basic self-care, social skills, and discipline and blamed it on the activity he chose to distract himself with instead of looking after himself and his relationships. There is a problem with retreating into comfort zones, yes, but that problem remains regardless of the choice of activity one retreats towards.

The West needs you. These are troubled times. Stop "having fun". "Fun" is not for men. Stop smiling. Always wear a suit. Grow a beard. Be cold. Be serious. Be stoic. Grind for 21 hours a day. Gym for 4 hours (while manosphere/conservative self-improvement/finance/motivational audiobooks/videos/podcast play on the background). Take a 2min cold shower. Read manosphere/conservative self-improvement/finance/motivational books for an hour. Sleep for 3 hours (at most). Monetize a hobby. Get a passive income. Always be ready to hop on a call with your clients and prospective businesses partners. Never engage in casual sex. Never drink alcohol. Never play videogames. Never consume sugar. Never consume carbs. Only eat at the end of your hard day of work as a reward, and never eat to fulfillment. Always stay hungry. Drink 4L of water daily. Never do drugs. Take your pills. Quit caffeine. Quit movies, music, shows, videos or any form of "entertainment". Go to Church. Never watch porn. Never masturbate. Never sin. Study the biology of female attraction. Talk to that girl. With a serious face and calculated words. Be a gentleman with her and with every woman. Marry and provide for her and her kids. Become a father. Sacrifice yourself for your family. Put your wife's needs above yours. Grind relentlessly. No "rest" days. Defend free speech online. Defend the correct positions. Enlist. Fight for your country. Bear the cross. Responsibility. Sacrifice. Suffering. Struggle.

>>18832 video games are my primary hobby, I have hundreds of hours in many many games, I've consistently been able to get and keep girlfriends. I date other indoorsy people with similar hobbies, my most successful relationships have been with girls who also game, my current girlfriend has over 800 hours in Stardew Valley and autistically keeps track of her goals in the game in a physical notebook. If somebody finds it unattractive that you play video games simply find someone else, it's really not that hard. The guy you posted in the OP is a huge retard and is ignoring his child to keep playing some shitty sports game, that's a problem, there's a difference between being a gamer and having a video game addiction. If you spend your free time playing video games that most people would spend scroooling social media or watching TV that's one thing, if you're ignoring life responsibilities to play some Moba or MMO for 12 hours a day that's another thing. Having 100 hours in a game is nothing, I lost friends because they let mobas consume their lives before, video game addiction is real but if you're not spending all of your free time playing some slop skinnerbox game it probably doesn't apply to you, its unbelievable its been decades and 4chan literally dies and we still have people who come all the way to infinitychan to make incel projection threads like this. >>18866 If you've never put 100 hours into a game why are you here? You don't actually play video games you just shitpost about them.

>>18866 You clearly haven't played any good games with high replayability. This game right here can easily suck up over 100 hours for instance. You start playing it and before you know it it's been hours already.

>>18876 what changed

I don't even care. Women hate men who play video games? Fine. Men hate women who aren't virgins? Fine. Fuck getting along, we hate each other mutually. Robot waifus cannot come soon enough, and whatever the fuck robot thing women want too I guess. We can't go back anyways, so we might as well push forward.

Do you realize normalfags just criticize videogame addiction as a way to demoralize you and feel better than you without feeling like they're bullies? No one gives a shit about other's addictions. No one complains about cigar or weed addicts unless their smoke is annoying someone. But for some reason videogames are now a big topic of discussion now. Not social media addiction, of course, since it affects normalfag women a lot more, and we don't want to make them feel bad. The whore in the OP must have wasted twice as much on tiktok in a week than you played videogames this whole month, she must be using that crap in public spaces, in front of others, while other's were trying to talk to her, she might even be the annoying type that plays the fucking short videos at full volume in public. But it's YOU who are wrong and its YOU who need to change not HER.

>>23237 >Do you realize normalfags just criticize videogame addiction as a way to demoralize you and feel better than you without feeling like they're bullies? Yeah there's something to be said for the ability to shit on a man's ability to have fun by himself and convince yourself that you are being a good person for doing it too because you like to pretend you are doing this for his own good, when it's really just that you derive satisfaction and/or personal validation from looking down on him and ruining his fun. There are a lot of girls who were passive-aggressive and somewhat manipulative with bullying tendencies in high school and whatnot and didn't grow up nearly as much as they pretend they did. Most of them will channel that sort of attitude in relationships too while looking for a socially acceptable pretext that they will convince themselves is the pure-hearted reason for their behavior. You know your woman's toxic when most of her attempts to "help" you just leave you miserable, lowered in confidence, and achieving less in life, feeling like you can't quite have nice things or make your own decisions whenever she's around to be involved. And it takes a long-ass time for many guys to realize that she is actually making you miserable on purpose because she low-key feeds on your misery. This is why it's important to set proper boundaries, resolve issues with real dialogue (especially in a way that solves them without having to sacrifice your own happiness), and not put up with women who play passive-aggressive games. If your woman is constantly making issues for you when you're doing a thing she doesn't like, refusing to fix her behavior and resorting to drama or other games when you try to get to the bottom of it, break up with her. She ain't worth it and the odds are strongly against your relationship getting better when your girl is trying to wear down your boundaries until you accept her bullshit with you without fighting back. There's no bright future there. If you're a man or want to be one, stand up for yourself.

gayming probably is the worst hobby of the popular ones >have to spend $5000 unless you want to play on lowest settings at 10fps >have to play for 10+ hours a day if you want to beat a game in less than a year >have to upgrade every 2 years because modern games run like shit. so $5000 every 3-4 years unless you like playing games on lowest settings at 10fps >most of the gayming "community" are shills and people who don't even play games >forced to use proprietary software >can't even last 10 years without requiring a billion patches to work, let alone centuries or millenia like other arts >requires a SHIT TON of space. >one-directional hobby. can only consoom. very expensive and hard to produce. it's no wonder only the worst pathetic outcasts play games. the better outcasts get into literature, music, or art.

>>23289 >have to spend $5000 unless you want to play on lowest settings at 10fps >have to upgrade every 2 years because modern games run like shit. so $5000 every 3-4 years unless you like playing games on lowest settings at 10fps Anon... my PC is over 12 years old. I upgraded the graphics card once to a model that was years old when I got it and it runs all the latest games at medium settings with 2560x1440 resolution just fine. Your problem is that you just make trash purchases. You can make a gaming rig on about $500 not counting the monitor. Last gen shit still works great.

>>23289 >have to spend $5000 unless you want to play on lowest settings at 10fps >have to upgrade every 2 years because modern games run like shit. so $5000 every 3-4 years unless you like playing games on lowest settings at 10fps These are true only if you want to play the new FIFA, NBA and whatnot every year. >can't even last 10 years without requiring a billion patches to work, let alone centuries or millenia like other arts I was just playing a game released in 2001. I'm not the one doing the patches so I don't care, but you have a point. >most of the gayming "community" are shills and people who don't even play games Fair point, but it didn't use to be like this. >one-directional hobby. can only consoom. very expensive and hard to produce. It's not expensive, but it can be hard depending on what you want to make. This is true for most hobbies however. >have to play for 10+ hours a day if you want to beat a game in less than a year Have you tried getting gud?

>>23270 >Most of them will channel that sort of attitude in relationships I read a book called The Anxious Generation that framed it more generally, that men tend to show aggression physically and women tend to show aggression relationally. Video games taking over men's life ended up making them isolate and have no outlets for traditional physical aggression. Social media made women double down and become hyper aggressive relationally. It's all very eerie how well it lines up with the "rat utopia" experiment. Just like how rat utopia gave the rats everything they ever wanted, I think video games give men everything they ever wanted and social media gives women everything they ever wanted. The result is that the males withdraw and become solitary and meek and the females get really aggressive and angry.

>>18834 >Very different from how movie buffs or bookworms are perceived by someone who's not that involved. Not to play devil's advocate, but it's hard not to when you see turbonormie gamers looking like zombies and living like sloths (ie. leaving snacks and energy drinks all around their rooms uncleaned). Books appear much more productive. Movie buffs were viewed just as pathetic back when it was a newer phenomenon.

>>23293 >medium settings >1440p lmao what's even the point? the entire point of modern games is to look at shiny graphics. they serve no other purpose. if your target isn't 4K 60fps max settings it's pointless to play modern games $500 gets you what I said: 720p 10fps lowest settings >>23303 >These are true only if you want to play the new FIFA, NBA and whatnot every year. that's every unoptimized modern game >Have you tried getting gud? modern games are not difficult, they are just bloated with useless dumb shit. if you want to actually complete a game it will take a very long time. I wish games never went past SNES length.

thing with video games is that modern ones are designed to exploit a bunch of retards through the dopamine treadmill and an ever anxious state of FOMO. no pausing, face the screen, do the abstract low-effort dance for your dopamine, that's a good goy :) you eventually learn any worthwhile game runs on 2015 laptop hardware. good games are cognitive workouts and it's sad people forget that fact, just like retards only think in extremes so it's being a goypig hooked up on the latest intravenous KFC fent drip while a thousand poledancing VR trannies flash through your eyes each second or believing juden peterson and getting a low income job where spics spit on your face and laugh about it to le support a decaying society or trusting other grifters and turning into a faggot pedo for a bunch of rich people you faggots are all massively fucking dumb. I used to think imageboards weren't for the so easily exploited

>>23309 Videogames are a man's outlet for aggression. We just substitute virtual violence for real-world violence. It's a big reason why violent crime tends to be lower among gaming populations, because when we're pissed we have an outlet: we go game and try to wreck some opponents in-game for a while. >>23343 >lmao what's even the point? the entire point of modern games is to look at shiny graphics. they serve no other purpose. if your target isn't 4K 60fps max settings it's pointless to play modern games I rest my case: You waste shittons of money. You go for the 4K HD monitor which is totally unnecessary and much more expensive and then you crank your games up to 4K HD resolution which makes them run like ass because they have to render literally nine times as many pixels as my monitor so you downgrade the graphics quality (which leaves overall picture quality considerably worse off than a lower resolution with better graphics settings) and still get shit framerates while you probably bought an overpriced graphics card too (the kind that has you pay 150-200% the price for a 5-15% increase in performance) if you didn't just get one of those shitty gaming laptops (when laptops are always a worse and more expensive option for gaming) and then you cry that unless you spend $5000 every 2 years your computer games will run like ass. >$500 gets you what I said: 720p 10fps lowest settings That's completely fucking wrong. $500 gets you a setup that's maybe two generations behind that runs the latest games at 30+FPS on at least medium graphics when you know what you're doing and aren't using a retarded 4K HD gaming resolution, especially if you are good at overclocking shit (as in many cases with careful purchasing you can get at least 40% more performance with plain air cooling). At 720p I can do 50+ fps with at least medium graphics with a $300 computer on running on used, dated parts, because the screen is only rendering exactly 1/36th as many pixels as your 4K HD screen. That's a shitton of graphical processing saved. Anon, I have news for you: You aren't nearly as good with computers as you think you are. You are just dogshit at building computers and squeezing performance out of them, so you waste a ton of cash for subpar results and then you cry that everything is too expensive. That's on you for being a retard constantly buying the new shit instead of doing your homework and figuring out what's actually smart.

>>23289 truthnuke

These same women usually have no issue with binging an entire netflix series in a day or spending all their free time watching TV/movies. Video games are still considered by normie women to be the male nerd loser hobby and it gives them the ick. It also makes men happy, which they hate, because men are supposed to be slave cattle who should always be working and doing something productive.

>>18832 i don't think most people really care. you have been demoralized by 4chan

>>23417 >You go for the 4K HD monitor which is totally unnecessary and much more expensive and then you crank your games up to 4K HD resolution which makes them run like ass it's 2025. 4K should've been the standard if not for retarded soydevs who don't optimize their games >which leaves overall picture quality considerably worse off than a lower resolution with better graphics settings no it doesn't. lower resolutions make the game look blurier and hurts the eyes. higher resolution means a sharper image, and in the case of 4K, hardly any need for anti-aliasing. >and still get shit framerates while you probably bought an overpriced graphics card too what card isn't overpriced these days? >runs the latest games at 30+FPS on at least medium graphics when you know what you're doing and aren't using a retarded 4K HD gaming resolution 30fps is enough all of a sudden? and who wants to play at 720p these days? even 1080p is becoming old, and yet these modern games can't run on anything anymore >Videogames are a man's outlet for aggression there are much better outlets that actually let you create as well as consoom, and not just consoom. a hobby where you can only consoom is unhealthy

>>23523 >it's 2025. 4K should've been the standard if not for retarded soydevs who don't optimize their games Oh boy, the [current year] argument. While there is a lot of truth to devs being fucking trash at optimizing their games, you really do not seem to pay attention how much of an enormous fucking difference it makes to force your PC to render 9x as many pixels when it comes to how good of a GPU you will need to run the latest games. 4K HD resolution is a giant killer of graphical performance and once you downgrade graphics settings you've lost more in visual quality than those pixels were gaining you. >what card isn't overpriced these days? So, if you want 60+ FPS on 4K, you're looking at spending about $500 (can go as low as $420 or as high as $600). Anything beyond that $600 is likely overspend. If you just want 60+ FPS on 1440p, you really only need to spend about $230. This card: https://www.newegg.com/asrock-rx6600-cld-8g-amd-radeon-rx-6600-8gb-gddr6/p/N82E16814930066 will generally do the trick and Newegg is selling it for $220 atm and $160 refurbished. Learning how to shop for value can do great things for your computer parts budget. >30fps is enough all of a sudden? and who wants to play at 720p these days? even 1080p is becoming old, and yet these modern games can't run on anything anymore 30 is min fps and 720p lets you game the latest and greatest on high graphics settings on a ridiculously cheap budget. Some of these decisions are financial, you know. The entire point here is gaming on a budget. >>Videogames are a man's outlet for aggression >there are much better outlets that actually let you create as well as consoom, and not just consoom. a hobby where you can only consoom is unhealthy Nigger what the fuck violent release of an activity that creates things are you thinking of? The closest thing I can think of is chopping wood. This is about channeling anger and the urge to do violence into an outlet that gives you release without actually hurting someone or something.

>>18835 'Partner' and 'significant other' are the pozzed terms. Spouse is a good word.

>>23563 >you really do not seem to pay attention how much of an enormous fucking difference it makes to force your PC to render 9x as many pixels when it comes to how good of a GPU you will need to run the latest games OK? but aren't we in 2025? 1080p became standard around the mid-2010s, and modern GPUs have to be dozens of times more powerful than a 2015 GPU right? 4K uses 4x more processing power than 1080p, and the 5XXX series is much more powerful (like 20x?) than the 1XXX, so at this point a midrange GPU should've handled 4K fine but modern soydevs and useless shit like gay tracing won't let that happen. a sharper resolution is always better because lower resolutions end up looking blurrier unless you have a screen below 25". max graphical settings are nice but not when it's blurry. I did try 720p gaming on my 1080p monitor and it doesn't look nice. 1080p is starting to get old and 1440p literally just exists as a cope resolution because the industry took too long to get to 4K. the transtition from 480i to 720p took around 3-4 years. by the late 00s EVERYTHING was 720p/768p and PS3/360 games were HD/close to HD since the start. 4K has been in the market since 2013 and not even CLOSE to being standard yet unless you count upscaling or checkboard shit. in fact, we're going backwards with games having fake frames and fake resolutions to cope with terribly optimized games keep in mind, for anything outside of gayming, 4K is very easy to drive nowadays. my laptop with an iGPU works great with a 4K screen even doing video rendering. 4K has a huge advantage in that you can put a lot more crap on the screen (at 100% scale at least) and it being much sharper to the point you don't need AA or need little of it. yes it uses much more resourced, but 720p/768p needed more than 480i/p and yet we did that. > Anything beyond that $600 is likely overspend ok, but for how many years? will it become obsolete for 4K60 after 2 years since modern games are dveloped by soydevs? >The entire point here is gaming on a budget. might as well play SNES games. playing modern games, whose sole purpse is shiny graphics because they have nothing else to offer, on lower settings is pointless. >Nigger what the fuck violent release of an activity that creates things are you thinking of how did everyone else in history do it? nobody else was glued to a screen for 12 hours a day. you can relieve stress in many ways, such as drawing or playing an instrument or writing somehing.

Blurriness is not a result of low resolutions being shit. That's a result of LED monitors being trash at imitating lower screen resolutions. There's a world of difference between native 720p and trying to make your 1080p pretend it's a 720p. The former looks decent enough. The latter looks like eye cancer. Multiple screen resolutions looking sharp worked with CRT tech but we're on LED now so you always get blurriness when you try to make the screen do a lower resolution. >the transtition from 480i to 720p took around 3-4 years. by the late 00s EVERYTHING was 720p/768p and PS3/360 games were HD/close to HD since the start. There comes a point where the resolution is detailed enough for any gaming purposes that you don't really have the same need for a higher resolution. And we really didn't go from 480i to 720p as you so fancifully imagine. We went from 640x480 (480i) to 800x600 to 1024x768 to 1280x1024 to 1440x1080 to 1600x1200. In the 90s and early 2000s we were already topping at 1600x1200 usually (There were crazy CRT monitors that did shit like 2560x2048 - and these were normal size monitors - but they were super rare.) and the norm before the transition to 1280x720 (720p) had been 1280x1024, so the late 2000s transition was actually a fucking downgrade (especially if you, like me, used 1600x1200 resolutions) but hey, it was a flat screen and manufacturers were increasingly not giving you a choice. I actually stuck with my old CRT for a long-ass time because it was better than most flat screens. The flatscreen transition was actually a downgrade for a long time. And in some respects LEDs are still worse at picture quality than CRTs. >4K has been in the market since 2013 and not even CLOSE to being standard yet No shit. Making 4K game graphics look good made for some very intense requirements for GPUs from back then (you'd have to downgrade for performance), 4K TV streaming was virtually nonexistent (if you even had the internet speeds for that shit, which you probably didn't), and most movies weren't made for 4K either. So you could get a 4K screen and almost everything would be lower resolution so you got to enjoy glorious blur because LEDs do not do lower resolutions well but at least the higher native resolution screens tend to be a bit better at blur. >unless you count upscaling or checkboard shit. in fact, we're going backwards with games having fake frames and fake resolutions to cope with terribly optimized games Yes, that is cancer. You should disable that whenever possible and generally avoid games that do that shit. >keep in mind, for anything outside of gayming, 4K is very easy to drive nowadays. my laptop with an iGPU works great with a 4K screen even doing video rendering. 4K has a huge advantage in that you can put a lot more crap on the screen (at 100% scale at least) and it being much sharper to the point you don't need AA or need little of it. yes it uses much more resourced, but 720p/768p needed more than 480i/p and yet we did that. Yes, but we're talking about gaming here. >ok, but for how many years? will it become obsolete for 4K60 after 2 years since modern games are dveloped by soydevs? Are you retarded? 4K60 is just 4K resolution doing 60 FPS. Most videos are lower than 60 FPS so it's mentioned for that. But what I mentioned was already the gaming budget for 60+ FPS gaming. >might as well play SNES games. playing modern games, whose sole purpse is shiny graphics because they have nothing else to offer, on lower settings is pointless. There's no point in playing games whose sole purpose is shiny graphics. Save yourself the expensive graphics card and go watch someone else play it on youtube or something if you desire a game simply because it is fun to look at but not to play. The video comes fully pre-rendered and you even get to fast forward past the boring bits this way. You build a gaming rig to play games that are actually fun. >how did everyone else in history do it? nobody else was glued to a screen for 12 hours a day. you can relieve stress in many ways, such as drawing or playing an instrument or writing somehing. Sure, there are other ways of working off stress, but when it comes to the urge to do violence there tends to be greater catharsis from gaming. And historically the amount of violence men inflicted was higher.

>>23633 Just to explain why you get blurriness: LEDs do not actually do multiple resolutions, unlike CRTs. When you make a LED monitor pretend to be a lower resolution monitor, it just does some basic as fuck godawful image stretch scaling to show a low resolution display on what is actually a higher resolution screen and that's why it looks like ass. That's all it can do. CRTs can actually do multiple resolutions, which is why they don't look like ass when they do multiple resolutions. So for LED monitors, you need native resolution for it to not look like shit. A lot of it's down to the ratio of scaling from your old resolution to the new one. If you are demanding a 1280x720 resolution out of a 2560x1440 monitor then because your monitor has a precise 1:2 pixel ratio from your requested screen resolution to the actual monitor resolution, you will get a completely perfect, non-blurry display since it can just use 2x2 pixels for every 1x1 pixel on the 720p. But if you want 1280x720 out of a 1920x1080, then your monitor has 1.5x the pixels of the resolution it's pretending to be. You can't actually halve a pixel (though you can try to play around a little with subpixel rendering, but that's more a CRT thing and I'm not sure these algorithms do that), so now you're smearing 1.5 pixels across 2 pixels (which also has to accomodate other surrounding pixels that get smeared into it) and so all the 720p pixels have to get smeared across 1080p pixels from the way it tries to stretch the image to make it fit and everything looks blurred as fuck because it is just blurring it to try to make it fit. Some ratios handle this better than others. a 1:1.5 ratio is still not as bad as something like a 1:1.6 ratio for the math to cleanly divide pixels across. The higher resolution monitors just benefit from the fact that at higher resolutions it has more native pixels per pixel of a low target resolution so maybe instead of a 1:1.5 ratio you could get a 1:3 ratio if you're lucky (that's a whole number per pixel, so perfect pixel scaling, hurray) or 1:2.2 or whatever the fuck. And that's the story of why LED monitors are frequently trash at imitating lower resolutions. Yes, if your resolution is high enough, it's way better for picture quality to have some black bars around the borders so you can go from 1:2.2 to 1:2 and achieve pixel-perfect scaling again. CRTs don't actually have a prebuilt number of pixels on the monitor. They just draw the entire screen resolution on the fly with electron guns, so you can push the monitor's screen resolution a bit above and especially below rated specs and still have it always draw 1 pixel per pixel you are asking for, which is why CRTs are crisper at doing other resolutions, because it is actually generating the asked-for screen resolution (but this does affect your monitor's refresh rate - you get higher refresh rates at lower resolutions and lower refresh rates at higher resolutions but a good monitor will handle high resolutions fine). Now you know.

>>24388 Dude's just not as tech-literate as he thinks he is. And this is why it's important: you end up wasting so much money on unnecessary shit if you get careless. I can build a gaming rig for 1/10th his budget in a pinch and 1/5th if I want to make it a good one. And that's far from the only purchasing decision you'll fuck up if you don't learn the details. The same shit applies to buying a good car, good furniture, and a whole host of household appliances. You're pissing away so much money if you aren't careful only to have to buy new shit before you know it. May as well also mention this for the laptop-buyers out there: Most laptop manufacturers have two lines: the business line and the consumer line. Always buy the business line if you can, because that shit is built to last, unlike the consumer line, which is built to break down in around 5 years.

>>18832 Pay the eternal boomer no mind. It took them centuries to quit whining that reading books was childish and addictive, too. They are forever terrified of whatever happens to be the new media of the day because they are crybabies who have nothing more than ad hominems and name-calling to denounce whatever happens to not be what they did as kids. "Maturity", "adult", "childish", etc. are all nonsense terms with no meaning, there is neither logic nor reason behind them, they are the equivalent of feminist shaming language or calling someone racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. tl;dr the eternal boomer is always wrong. Just ignore them.

>>27227 Speak for yourself. I asked a youtuber to build my PC for me with the absolute best possible parts because I wanted to future proof for a while. I had to spend almost $9k but it was worth it. Not only for gaming but also for the bloated hardware requirements software needs today. I edit media, videos and shit like that all the time so it was a beneficial purchase in my case. I still feel like a cheap whore for giving this much money to nvidia for a 5090 but I have the money to spend

>>27227 No, some of them do build it just because they want a powerful computer. Even 20 years ago people were making computers that cost multiple thousands of dollars. But man does the ability to spend your money wisely make a huge difference. Sometimes the store is jacking up prices, sometimes the model of graphics card, CPU, etc. is just poor value. Sometimes that upgrade you're salivating over isn't the one that will materially change how well your PC works for what you intend to be doing with it. >>27230 Nigger my PC cost around $1000 12 years ago and with a single graphics card upgrade it still runs the latest games well, because I made sure that when I built my PC it was built to last and could OC well if need be (but I still haven't really needed to). This is a gaming rig too.

>>18832 A man will put aside games for a good woman, but when the woman is unpleasant, it's only obvious he'll be gaming more heavily, because gaming is more pleasant than dealing with her bullshit, which is why it pisses these kinds of women off, because an unpleasant woman cannot handle a man setting aside blocks of time where she cannot task, interrupt, or otherwise annoy her man for her personal validation. She can blame the videogames but these marriages were headed for divorce for other reasons. If a guy needs to game as his escapism from you, consider that maybe you are the problem, rather than some kind of videogame addiction epidemic where all your BFs just want to game heavily when you're around. It's very obvious woman #1 is passive-aggressive as shit and the kind of woman that sucks the joy out of life if you have to continuously deal with her.

>>18832 Why is the woman filming her man instead of looking after her baby so he can play his vidya in peace. Women these days

>>18874 Women almost universally having the exact same, cookie cutter, casual garbage taste in videogames is probably the most infuriating aspect of gayming becoming mainstream I can think of. It's the reason casual games became so successful, and why mobileshit exploded as an industry segment, and directly led to AAA devs prioritizing inclusivity and gay shit over making a good game (see Bioware). I am not convinced women like videogames for the sake of playing them, they like games for the sake of telling other people they play games.
