*sigh* They'll probably go home and spend hours watching some stupid tv programs.

You can easily solve that by having a sex change operation. Voila, you're no longer a man!

But seriously, games a great way to stave off boredom. You can always crank out a quick game if you have spare time.

Well...I'm glad you found a solution that works for you... A sex change seems a bit extreme to me in this case, however. I think I'll just stick to enjoying my video game hobby despite the occasional putdown.

My two isk. I thought being a grown up is partly about doing just that.
Hell,not only that,playing on both xbox and ps4 consols,watching streams on the modest 48" flat ,mining while fiddleing around with the ingame market ,ordering chinese,and listening to spotify all at the same time.
They just hadn't trained Multitasking and Advanced Multitasking to lvl5 which is a must for any eve player who makes it past a month.

Trying to think of times I have heard anyone admonish someone else for playing video games as an adult...

Nope. Pretty sure I have never heard that.

Lemmy of Motorhead, who was definitely a grown man, passed away yesterday in front of a favorite video game. Could have been StarFox, or not.

I'd have a sex change if I could afford it.

They say:

"You're a grown man and you play video games? What a waste!"


I respond:

"I run a multi-billion dollar corporation that has over 100 members. I sent out 8 emails this morning before having 2 seperate meetings about manufacturing and mining. I sent an email to a rival CEO explaining that if he doesn't leave our area of space, I will do it for him. I also discovered that we had an unknown warehouse full of drugs in low security space that I've sent someone to sell... rapidly. I posted a video to YouTube explaining the benefits of where to place a corporate headquarters. Finally, I checked my bank account and found out that I sold 300 million in commodities while I slept. And I did this all before lunch.

What did you do this morning?"

I have had this with, "such a waste" added.
Thing is, I don't want to be a benefit to humanity, I do the minimum to get by and would like to sit back and see the world burn. I don't like the species as a whole.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.
