Video Games, Pornography Contributing to “Masculinity Crisis”

Seriously, bro.
A psychologist and professor emeritus at Stanford University, Philip Zimbardo, conducted a study that peered into the lives of 20,000 young adult men and their habits involving the use of video games and pornography.

Zimbardo found that, in general, their use of video games and porn is excessive and constitutes a “new form of addiction,” effectively creating a digital rewiring of their brains. He describes this phenomenon as a “masculinity crisis.”

The Independent:

Citing the research he and his team conducted for the book, he says: “It begins to change brain function. It begins to change the reward centre of the brain, and produces a kind of excitement and addiction.”

“What I’m saying is – boys’ brains are becoming digitally rewired.”

Citing the research he and his team conducted for the book, he says: “It begins to change brain function. It begins to change the reward centre of the brain, and produces a kind of excitement and addiction.”

“What I’m saying is – boys’ brains are becoming digitally rewired.”

Video games and porn are panem et circenses, Jewish tools to emasculate, faggotize, and mold men into weak, passive subjects. A true Aryan man rejects porn and excessive use of* video games as vices.

Our race and our future are screwed if we don’t channel these young men and pull them away from these vices. The reestablishment of masculinity is looking more and more pertinent every day.

*Added for clarification

“What I’m saying is – boys’ brains are becoming digitally rewired.”

Video games and porn are panem et circenses, Jewish tools to emasculate, faggotize, and mold men into weak, passive subjects. A true Aryan man rejects porn and excessive use of* video games as vices.

Our race and our future are screwed if we don’t channel these young men and pull them away from these vices. The reestablishment of masculinity is looking more and more pertinent every day.

*Added for clarification

Addictions can be a problem. Water is also wet. Thanks for the insights we have had for millennia, doc.

Not all addictions turn you into omega turbodweebs, though. And people who spend excessive amounts of time in front of their computer do tend to lean towards this most graceful, albeit misunderstood of classifications.

Humanity weeps as Candy Crush Saga comes preinstalled with Windows 10
Microsoft calls automatic install of game "an added bonus."

In what is no doubt a sign that humanity as we know it is coming to a swift, unproductive end, Microsoft has announced that King's notoriously moreish Candy Crush Saga will come pre-installed with Windows 10. That's right, pre-installed. In what appears to be an entirely non-ironic post over at Xbox Wire, Microsoft says that "as an added bonus, Candy Crush Saga will automatically be installed for customers that upgrade to or download Windows 10 for periods of time following the game launch."

There's no word on whether you'll be able to opt out of the automatic install, although it's likely King will want to get as many people as possible hooked on Candy Crush given its recent financial struggles. Earlier today, the company's shares fell as much as 14 percent in after-hours trading after it issued a profit warning. It noted in its first quarter financials that revenue was lower than expected due to slowing Candy Crush sales, and players moving to "more mature games."

The Windows 10 version of Candy Crush Saga was first demonstrated at Microsoft's Build conference earlier this month, and served as something of a showcase for Microsoft's Project Islandwood and Project Astoria initiatives. Islandwood allows iOS developers to bring their apps over to Windows via an Objective C toolchain and middleware layer. While some recompiling is still required, it should make the process of porting apps easier for a large number of iOS developers. Things are easier still for Android developers, with Windows Mobile including an Android runtime layer that'll let most existing apps run unmodified. Notably, the new Windows 10 version of Candy Crush Saga will include cross-play options for iOS and Android devices.

Regardless of how you feel about King or its games, Candy Crush Saga certainly isn't the first bundled Windows game to threaten productivity. Microsoft's Solitaire, which has been a staple of the Windows OS since version 3.0, was once claimed to be "the most used Windows application in the world," not to the mention one of the original candidates for video game addiction. Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg even fired an employee after catching him playing solitaire on the job.

Still, one can't complain too much for the inclusion of Candy Crush Saga, given Windows 10 itself will be a free upgrade. And, once you've figured out which of the seven SKUs you need, you'll be able to use the OS for more serious gaming matters like checking out all those gorgeous Direct X 12 games, and remote play streaming from an Xbox One.

Holy shit! Look at the grayfix Square has. Now if only they could make a game that doesn't make me want to hurl.

Why spend money to have Candy Crush when the best game preinstalled on an operating system already exists?

Not sure what's worse, a U2 album or this POS game.

Not sure what's worse, a U2 album or this POS game.

If MS removes onestop.midi, they will officially remove the last remaining reason to use windows OS.

 

[Astral Rag]

They have removed that old-hat version from Windows 9 but you'll be pleased to hear that users can now buy the new P. Daddy Feat. Little Kim - One Stop Remix in the Apps for Windows store

Just when I thought, "Windows 10 doesn't look so bad...as soon as I can put a theme on it that doesn't trigger migraines."

Microsoft had a big news how they will make a big commitment to PC market and as a sign of that commitment they made a huge revelation that players will be able to play new Fable game with Windows 10. The tone of the announcement made it sound like its a dream come true to all PC owners, and that everyone would instantly rush to get new Windows. Most people were just confused and thought this people are completely out of touch with reality. This pretty much confirms it.

Should just include AoE 1. They gave it away free with nutri-grain awhile back.
