Growing up, how did your parents react to you playing video games every day, especially throughout your teenage years...

Mine didn't really care, I'm 21 now and I still do that. I finish my degree this year and will probably just keep gaming because there's just no work here without having an in through a friend. Not gonna be able to find a job or a GF until something changes radically, and they understand that. I don't live in America, so I still live with my parents because the housing market in this country is very prohibitive, even for renting.

>>507958270I'm still young and haven't moved out yet, but my parents got me into videogames when I was very small. They still support my hobby even if I'm in my room most of the time.More fearful for what they'll think of me when they figure out i'm gay. HA

i still remember playing megaman legends with my mom crying on the couch next to me then hearing a glass ashtray break on the floor across the house and my dad yelling "the next ones going at your head"

My mom loved it, made a lot of friends through video games, we played outside, kept me off the drugs and the streets, probably wouldn't be in the career I'm in if it wasn't for vidya. Then again I grew up playing good vidya and not the manipulative shit you zoomers are playing these days.

> Play video games for 7-12 hours a day from the ages of 13-21> Parents never say anything> Go weeks without showering, wear the same clothes for years> Suddenly get a haircut, buy some new clothes, find a gf by accident but still play games for hours almost every dayLife is surprisingly good, no regrets

Mom is glad, she's incredibly overprotective and has stated in the past she wished I was one of those kids who just lived in her basement forever. Dad is the opposite. He once realized I had been playing a game for 14hrs straight and said he has never been more ashamed and wished I was smoking pot instead like a normal kid. Meanwhile I've blown well past 30hrs at this point.
