Plugged In and Tuned Out: Video Games Poor People Entertainment

[@SirThanksalott]

Nature gave you this microphonic (just found out this word didn't mean what I thought it did so help me out with the right word, visual equivalent being photogenic) voice to create Dystopian YT broadcasts. You got the sound, Delivery, pitch, and ability to carry on a conversation. In the 90s they call it the Radio voice. Your microphone setup is good, and you understand the technicals. There is no background noise, no static. Great quality. You will get there don't worry man. Then you can send us money. Hahaha.

dude, if I get big, I am going to give all my money to the proles, I dont need anything fancy, as long as I can afford rent, food, and a car, the rest is going back to the proles! I see so many people that need help No one is going to save them Someone has to be the voice of reason in an insane world where so many people are being left behind!🥲🥲

​@@MillennialSteam-h3s We never know who we will be until we are there. All we can do is reason with our circumstances while questioning ourselves. If someone like Jiff Bozos is out of touch and lack empathy, could we become the same?

I played video games when I was younger, but I also read books, listened to music, played music, and watched movies and TV shows. A lot of the younger people that I know will ONLY play video games. No music, no books, no comic books. Nothing else.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

I have noticed that about Gen-Z, they dont have any personality whatso ever to them :(

[@shiptj01]

@MillennialSteam-h3s They don't even like music. I've noticed that newer novels have a lot more female leads, even in sci-fi! I think that is because way more young women are reading than young men are. Maybe that could be fuel for a future video. Lol

I was becoming addicted to the SIMS game back in 2004 and had to quit cold turkey when I realized I was considering missing work to keep playing. Can’t play with my money! I flung the disc out the MF window!

[@littlesnake7318]

Lol I had that as a teen on the original Xbox back in the day. Had Urbz Sims in the City too and that was such a corny game even back then. But the sims eventually got boring and I got sick and tired of my sims burning the house down and drowning in the pool. Now, Morrowind...that was my crack.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

I like how the game thinks houses cost like 20K and hourly wages for a writer are 30 dollars an hour

[@worldsyoursent.1635]

🔥💯

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

sometimes I wonder who is actually listening to me out there, I feel like no one can hear me🥲

[@SirThanksalott]

For all the addicts : Epic is giving away 1 free game per day. Sorry for the late news, they gave out some bangers last couple days. You don't even need their launcher just use the website to claim and Heroic to download. Not promoting game addiction, but its the holidays. Prole life you know.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! The word you're probably looking for could be "vocal presence" or "audibly engaging." Just like "photogenic" describes someone who looks good in photos, these terms highlight the quality and appeal of one's voice in audio settings. Another option might be "radio-ready" or even "melodic" to capture that easy-to-listen-to quality. It’s awesome to hear you appreciate my delivery and setup-getting those technicals right has been a journey, but I’m glad it’s paying off. That “radio voice” vibe is definitely what I’m going for with the dystopian broadcasts! One day, when I’m there, I’ll make sure to send the support back to my OGs. Thanks again for believing in me-it means a lot!

We do live in a system where the caste can change itself, i feel like all of them can, it's the fact they creature keeps reproducing that is the main fuel to the nightmare. And the fact that money is the motivation is supposed to incentivize them to become the very people they don't want to be. Take advantage of others in some dog pile of desperation. You think it gets less desperate when you climb up? Of course not, "more money more problems" it just isn't this way because we made the common man dream of being a king and nowhere is it said that all kings are good

[@ennuiblue4295]

YT asked me to rate your comment haha, I gave it 'excellent'. I still don't know what that's even for

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

🤣🤣

[@dubr3662]

Games make me smarter. GTA series, Mafia City, Craps, Roulette, Business Empire, Torn, Pachinko, Chess, ect. AOL was the shit back in the day. 🎉🎮🕹🎲🤔💭🎉

[@Steve0C]

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a psy op, since if you are indeed the generation your name sake would imply, that when the best consoles were NES, SNES, and Genesis, that you could only binge play Mario Brothers, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, etc....and a good chunk of activity that still was outside and social interactivity. It was more so the internet that really escalated it, and even then early internet games that it wasn't Ultima Online that cratered interactivity, but probably everquest was the first one that I recall that had simulated social activity, and then skyrocketed with games like WoW, and now overdosing with mobile games and live service / microtransaction games. I will concede that the corporate suits realized the gold mine that was introducing children into legalized gambling, that I'm genuinely shocked that neither political side has really raised an eyebrow for, since I'm sure more people have been impacted by their kid having spent 100's on Roblox and other in game purchases compared to preferred pronouns.

Ready player one is a must watch thank me later handsome 😉😉

[@supinthiam5741]

i feel like im wasting my life every time i play a video game now a days.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

I walk past my video game console collection as tomb stones of past version of myself

[@stockpile2137]

The Gen Z stories got me chuckling 😅 but yeah man this economy is truly cursed.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

this is a comedy channel that deals with dark material

MillennialSteam, did your parents keep the air conditioning and heat going in your house growing up? Or did they keep the house hot in the summer and cold in the winter?

[@dynamo3059]

im 20 years on steam, got thousands of hours on various games mostly just watch shows now tho games are too much work! reminds me of when i was playing rust when i was stuck in unemployment land for 18 months all the resources in that game are super highly contested and u will have ppl staying up to 2-3am to try to raid u hoping ur asleep i was putting in 60 hours a week just to maintain my base! -_- whats the point lol, u dont get anything out of these games i have a friend who has 15,000 hours in dota 2 i did the math on it and that comes out to like 6 hours a night every day for like the past 10 years how do u even do that without getting burnt out?? he has a wife and kid too somehow lol i cant give up my shows tho i am not gonna sit there in an empty room staring off into space

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

I dont have the attention for shows I look at how phony and all the camera angles, I feel like I am going to stroke out with this modern camera work

[@dynamo3059]

@MillennialSteam-h3s tru, i cant be bothered to put effort into games that dont give me anything tho lol need to check my brain out

[@Denariusjay]

​@@MillennialSteam-h3syou should check out The Penguin atleast. I am just like you I struggle watching TV shows, i dont ever make it past the first episode. But i actually got through Penguin and was hooked

[@Always1happy]

Poor people should spend time on hard work and education. Entertainment is reason so many people fail to become accomplished persons - both in career and as good parents

[@blondequijote]

Plenty of us educated folks priced ourselves right out of the market. Maybe we’d have better luck abroad, but probably not really since other governments don’t bend over backwards to bring foreigners in the same way the US does for its oligarchs to have steady supply of cheap labor

[@littlesnake7318]

I dont play the more hardcore and deeper games anymore. They waste too much time but mostly becuse and they have become worse. Fallout 76, Borderlands 3, Cyberpunk...they were all flops. Bethseda still cannot cough up Elder Scrolls 6 and pumps out other crap I don't want. And when it does come out, ive lost interest already. Too late! Now I just play Mario, Donkey Kong, the classics I also just got Unitlted Goose Game. Just fun video games you pick up and play for an hour than put down and do something else.

[@MillennialSteam-h3s]

never understood titles like Elder Ring - crying players?

[@desirabbit6869]

I had to look up what a Hoaka was 😅
