Not if you're over the age of 12.

make your own decision about your own life you fucking sheep

>playing video games
>being a man
Pick one.
Seriously.

Do whatever you want to do. You'll be dead in 40-50 years so you might as well have a little fun.

Only if you're playing competitively, that raises testosterone

>t. comp player in HOTS

If I do that then I'll be considered a man child though.

Whatever dad

Yes, do whatever you feel like doing and what gives you the most pleasure

if you don't want to be considered a manchild then don't do it, if you don't care then do. Which is more important to you? It's really not that fucking hard user

>subtle straw man
I'm not a degenerate, I play EUIV, total war games, plane simulator, factorio and red orchestra.

People who say that video games are childish tend to find other ways of corroding their synapses through other forms of media.

Only if it requires immense skill, like Supreme Commander or TA

>video games
Any leisure activity is fine. You should have activities that give you fun and pleasure, and if gaming is one of them that's fine. Doesn't matter what the autists on here say, anything that you do for fun in your spend time is all really the same, whether it be hiking, painting, or playing games. You need fun to have a good mental health balance; don't listen to the Varg memes telling you to do nothing except work and fuck, they're basement dwellers.

The problem is when you do nothing but play games and funnel yourself into a world of escapism so you don't have to cope with reality, which is what most males are doing today. Video games are a slippery slope and are designed to get you to do this, so be careful.

I'd agree with this sentiment; moderation in all things is crucial for a healthy mind and body.
