Sad story. In any case, all you've done to fix your life (and your family's) has given you something that you'll be able to appreciate only after you've had your first child.
You are a man.

>>62433607

Wow you're a dick.

I preferred to hide my geek hobbies from my parents entirely so they couldn't judge me, because everyone judges even if they don't show it. Now I'm on meds, life is okay man.

Depressing vidya families?

Ok.

I grew up with a loving and caring father that gamed just as much as me.

Oh wait, that's not depressing.

My dad was awesome, but my mom was a fucking train wreck.

Instead of the husband beating on the wife, it was the wife beating the husband. My dad was FAR too kind for his own good. He loved my mother too much to leave.

I guess this is why I lack emotions for most people.

Sounds like my childhood except for boardgames instead of videogames.

Chess, Checkers, Monopoly, Life, Stratego, Battleship, Candyland, etc.

>I won't go easy on you guys because your children. >When you get old enough to beat me I'll start cheating.

My father was never home when I was a child, and when he was my mother would just fight with him in a drunken rage. My mother who was, and still is, a drunk and drug user really didn't seem to care much about me. I always played video games to get away from all the fighting and abuse, so I feel your pain OP.

>>62435482
>When you get old enough to beat me I'll start cheating.
In chess? What, so her Queen now has God Mode and No Clip?
Also, great mom there.

My parents are okay.
Mom is a bit naive but level headed, and she's done a lot for me.
Dad is a bit more distant than I'd like.

Both of them are disappointed in me, want me to be my brother. They never say so, but I can tell, and that's worse I think.
All the same, they're good parents.

Time to make this a happy /v/ story thread.

>Watching my dad play the first Resident Evil.

>Haunted by it
>Sitting on the floor, staring intently at that terrifying face while young
>Mom walks up behind me, grabs my shoulders and "RAAGRHS" in my fucking ear

I'm not nearly as easy to scare now, but I do blame my parents and /x/ for how paranoid I can be.

>Co-op'd Donkey Kong country with my mother when it first came out. Use to play Mario Kart with her all the time. And she never just LET me win, she beat me more times than i can count.

>Me and my dad raced to beat each other to collecting all 120 stars without a guide before the other. Taught me everything i know about tetris, i used to watch him play for hours without failing out once.

>My uncle taught me D&D and many other role playing games and styles, Final Fantasy, Wizardy, etc, etc.

Fuck all your crybaby shit, my hobby was endorsed.

My moms gone casual on me, all she plays is Farmville and pogo games, My uncle is still as much of a neckbeard as he ever was and he still DM's when hes not at giving lectures about law at the university. My dad has gone the family man route and bought a Wii for himself my stepmom and their 2 young daughters but continues to try various games under my suggestion like STALKER and others along with ones he gets for the Wii arcade.

Fuck all your sob stories, my shit was endorsed.

>Beg my dad to watch me play Tomb Raider
>He resists
>Finally after 2 weeks he gives in
>As I'm busy explaining the controls to him I look over and he's snoring gently on my bed
And that's when I realized that my parents weren't gaming people.

>>62435859
At least he tried.~

>>62435649
Let's just say I wouldn't get up to go to the bathroom or pieces might...wander.

It's something we joke about today now that I'm older, 23.

Mom never played video games with me, but my mom loved for me to explain the stories and my general hobbies to her. My dad was always disappointed that I didn't take an interest in sports, but he doesn't make a big deal out of it.

>>62435759

>Say: Mom, thanks i really love you.
I actually dont.

I hate my past, that's why im working hard now to become a Doctor and leave my family

tl;dr: Shitty family, mom buys me vidya to compensate, don't love her.

Mom divorced dad.
Didn't care for games, but didn't dislike them.
Mom's kind of a shut in.
Never did anything exciting growing up.
Married step-dad when I was 13, he hates games and thinks they undermine society.

Finally starting to break free from that as an individual and see the world for myself.

My mom finds Rock Band and Wii entertaining, my brother plays games like a crackhead much to my step-dad's chagrin, play together as a family while encouraging and enabling my brother to go do fun things besides just videogames.

Family fun, fixing a problem and pissing off my step-dad - all in a day's work.

>>62436067
