my dad got that a lot with his ex GF. hes put effort to engage in conversation only to be blown off cause she would always be on tik tok. but the shed bitch about him spending "so much time on minecraft" hes 60 btw

The irony

Funny that Walsh thinks they are a waste of time. I think debating brain dead leftists is a waste of time. See how he likes that sandwich…..🙄

What’s her response when you mention that to her?

Not to mention the Korean Soap Operas. Or all the crap that india sells us. No sir, I prefer a book or videogame. Nothing wrong with either.

I was just thinking about that quote while watching this. I have the full excerpt saved for exactly these scenarios. “Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” - C. S. Lewis

Exactly. Matt Walsh exposes his own immaturity by being obsessed with the idea of maturity, he acts like he still has something to prove. Eventually I reached that point where I stopped caring what people think, and I've never felt more at home with my hobbies. Then again, I'm a couple years older than Walsh so maybe he just hasn't hit that point in life yet.

​@@Crime_Mime damn, thats an awsome quote. Ive been on the recieving end of the "put childish things away" part as a weapon against gaming. Never knew there was more to it.

@@synistargg2502 That quote mine was very everywhere in the Atheism Plus circle jerk as well.

@@AkuTenshiiZero I dont think it has to do with age, im 27 and matt walsh feels like a child to me :D

Yep, even Banjo playing or Music or reading Books or watching movies or tv shows etc. But, Cuckservatives will never understand that. 😂

Yesssss! Fuck sports man, id much rather actually have some input on something then just sit there and watch whatever sports ball is in season atm

Or watching Matt Walsh

Watch them go "but you can make a career out of sports" when the same can ALSO be said about gaming.

never could watch sports for fun, i rather play the game myself than watch someone and listen to "ARE YOU BLIND?! HOW DID YOU NOT SCORE THAT"

I have 1 gaming memory with my dad. 2 hours of SimCity when I was 8, he didn't know how to do it so I built whatever he told me. Still remember it vividly to this day. Sharing kids interest is so big to them.

"When I started explaining the storyline of RDR2, he was shocked. He didn't understand how a video game could have a storyline. " I think it's funny how it took a cowboy game to get an boomer to understand why you enjoyed games, because boomers grew up watching westerns on TV (I recall reading about George Lucas stressing something to the effect of the importance of "explaining the unfamiliar through familiar terms", what you did with your dad seems to be a good example of that) . I think the ignorance and misunderstanding regarding games having stories is why lots of older people are so out of touch (to be fair, the number of multiplayer games with no story plays a role in confusing them).

similar story, with my dad, but i have always loved realistic games and simulators, so it wasnt until i moved out and went to war, i came back got my own place and built my first pc and got the whole HOTAS flight stick, and a sim pit, he came over and saw it for the first time, he was like WTF is this, he was very supportive of me getting my private pilot cert, so i fired up DCS and put him in the cockpit of an F/A-18 hornet and walked him through a Cat 1 Launch and recovery from Cold start, and the told him, games are interactive movies or educational media, it is a fun escapism, i will never get to be a fighter pilot, but it is fun after a long day and pretend for awhile. he now spends quite a few sundays to come over and play, its some good memories hes 59 this year, he helped talk me through fixing my truck, he bought the parts i needed, he said i owe him a few hours in the sim, im about to surprise him by finishing a second pit for him so we can play together.

When my father saw me play RDR a few years ago he was shocked they would make a cowboy western game.

Your father reminds me of my own dad in that aspect. My dad has since watched me play Mafia 2, RDR2, Mafia 3, Battlefield 1, etc He enjoys watching me play games while we drink together and listen to music.

Before pandemic: WHO declared video games unhealthy and detrimental. During pandemic: WHO declared video games a healthy past time. At least WHO had the guts to see a new perspective. In my country we call people like Mat Walsh "Sarado kandado" -- under lock and key /closed minded -- usually reserved for religious fanatics specifically Roman Catholics. It means they're gonna die like that, unchanged and unfazed. To enjoy your life, do not approach or attempt to engage with them.

I'm sure if you were reading a book purely for entertainment so some kind of fiction Matt Walsh and his type would still think that even if they don't say it. It might not be as bad as their opinions on videogames/anime and the like, but I doubt he is a huge fan of people reading fictional books instead of something more productive like a book on business, mechanics, programming or whatever.

Always got that from Leftists and as i later learned the RINOs. We have a Uniparty but its not what they want us to think it is. Trump made a Hard line and we can see the Rinos Clearly now.

@@InDeathWeLovePeople who think “work is litteraly life” have a hard time relating to anyone.

some people still say that

And that right there is the issue. Matt doesn't find use in it, so (to him) it's inherently useless. I think golf is stupid (for me). If I were to go spend hours playing golf, that would be a tremendous waste of my time (I _have_ spent hours with somebody playing golf, and it _was_ a tremendous waste of time). However, I don't think that for a couple of my cousins, who I know absolutely love golf. I don't see the appeal in it, but I know they don't see the appeal in my favorite pastimes, either. I'm adult enough to be ok with that.

@@wastelandsniper789 there's 5 kinds of people when it comes to hobbies. 1. the type who simply enjoy their hobby. 2. the type who try to force their hobby on others and become angry when getting pushback. 3. the type who simply dislike a hobby, and ignore it. 4. the type who dislike a hobby, and try to enact sweeping changes within said hobby so it becomes palatable for them regardless of how the existing enjoyers feel. (the woke usually land here) 5. the type who dislike a hobby, and seek to have it destroyed entirely. (matt walsh and other boomer-mindset types land here) we should all strive to be either number 1, or number 3. anything else makes you some level of a-hole.

Also, as you get older and take on more responsibility, you have less and less time. My gaming time is precious because I may only get 2-3 hours a week.

You say words trying to sound smart but in reality that was word salad at its best, maybe you’d be better off writing speeches for kackling Kamala. Plus your idea of what is low class behavior has no bearing on reality since low class behavior typically refers to what the poorest of the poor do and I can assure you it isn’t playing video games as that’s a hobby that only those of us who are more successful (at least upper lower class if not lower middle class) can afford. Try again next time with a better take.

@@nickhammerschmidt9914 MIC shill

Hey Metatron, hell yeah man, totally with you here.

I wrote a paper in college going over several studies of the effects of strategy games on the players, such as Age of Empires 2 and Command and Conquer. What I found was that there were increased reaction times for the gamers as well as a better ability of players to track multiple variables at the same time/bounce back and forth for constant updates. Tracking economy management as well as military strategy in AoE 2 for example. Really cool stuff

Absolutely! I grew up watching my dad play Heroes of Might and Magic II. Still one of my favorite game series to this day and I replay I - IV every couple years. I also happen to be a productive member of society with an 8 year career in my field after graduating university. This take by Walsh is really narrow-minded.

Games like Grand Theft just praise and encourage crime. In Call of Duty, you generally play as one of "the good guys stopping the bad guys." Other games are just adventure games and role-playing and strategy games. Games like Helldivers 2 unite players against a common enemy, it's one of the reasons it's so popular.

Don't forget Anime as well. Matt Walsh thinks that's Satanic for no good reason. 😂

Edit: I misspelled insinuated.

This quote, "and no one has ever made that claim" proves how little anyone cares or has done research into this from the Daily Wire. Walsh (and the Daily Wire) just wants money. Walsh has a persona and I cannot wait for his persona to shatter.

People have lost doctorates over falsifying studies to push that lie. S to spit on Matt Walsh

As if radical conservatives wouldnt be chopping our hobbies like the radical left wokies if we were in their zeitgeist

@@davidwhidden9337 Matt Walsh is kind of infamous for not actually doing any research. When he went on Joe Rogan and was talking about kids on puberty blockers Joe asked him how many kids it was and he said millions... It's around 1000 at any given time. Regardless of how you feel about that topic, he produced a whole "documentary" on that subject and didn't bother to google that.

I suggest we remove Matt's hands. They can be used for hitting and that's evil. And his tongue. It can be used for lying and that's evil.

Organised religion is the reason for his flawed thinking. I wouldn't take the opinion of an Adult who believes in the Tooth Fairy seriously, his beliefs are no different.

Precisely. By his logic the people against firearms would be correct.

yep. second amendment should be one example

@@Grandmastergav86 Yeah, it's just so dumb to believe in a human ideal. Clearly the worship of money, celebrity or the state is far superior. 🤡

I met a socially conservative Australian Vietnam Veteran who played Halo with his grandkids, a shame more old people aren't like that.

That's neat though.

Kid safe games don't. I cant play Nintendo games with my kids because they're so dumbed down and way too easy. Now that Sea of Thieves has a safety setting - we can play that. But the gaming community is sick at the moment and its ok to shield my kids from it.

@@linzers8894To be fair that really depends on the game.. and yeah a lot of games are getting dumbed down.. But to be fair kids can handle a lot more than you think.. My 12 yr old really enjoys joining me when I play videos games and some of them are rated M.. however the way I see it as long as there is no sexual content in it or too much gore it's ok for her to play... She mostly plays pokemon and a few other switch games but she has joined me on Ark survival and red dead redemption.. ( she really loves horses ).. Then again she is 12.. my 6 yr on the other hand might like to watch but prefers to watch tv... The point being is.. as long as you raise them right and moniter what they play they can play games that aren't "kid safe" especially if the game has a good message to go with it... Also both me and my wife hate the whole woke culture and it is wearing off on our daughter because a lot of time she is able to pinpoint "woke messages" without us... For example I was playing skull and bones and at one point she looked up and ask if it was normal that most of my crew was female?.. It honesly put a smile on my face :P

Hmm

@@linzers8894 There's plenty of good Nintendo games. Buy them Pikmin. Pikmin 4 is the best installment so far, though Oatchi (the dog) makes it a bit easy. The challenges are pretty good though and encourage strategizing to get every single treasure and enemy in the time limit. If you really want challenge, go with Pikmin 3. The combat challenges and dandori challenges in Pikmin 3 are absolutely insane. I don't think I've ever gotten full points on one. Even the story mode is great for training multitasking and puzzle solving as there are 3 commanders you have to coordinate. For challenge, get Mario 3 and do pass-and-play. When one of you dies, pass the controller. It's simple fun. I did that with my brother recently. You get the emulator with a bunch of NES and SNES games if you have Nintendo Switch Online (I don't know how much it costs, my friend put me on his family plan which I believe supports up to 10 accounts). As for games you can find on your PC, there's a ton of good ones too. I exclusively play games that don't have good graphics since my laptop isn't very heavyweight. Terraria is great if you want bang for your buck. One world will probably take you at least 40 hours to go through all the content; I'm 60 hours into my world now and maybe 60% done, but I take things slow. One Step from Eden is a tough grid-based bullet hell deck building game where you essentially create a spell book that you weaponize as you try to get into position to hit things as well as keeping your health in check by dodging. I got to the final boss once, but that was it. I never beat it. Don't like grid-based? Play Enter the Gungeon instead. Crypt of the Necrodancer is great too, you've got to go through dungeons timing all your movement to the beat of the song, and it gets frantic on the higher levels where the music is faster and the enemies are more complex. Pick up Roboquest if you don't mind shooters. It is a co-op PVE game. You don't kill any people, just robots. Most other games I know are single-player. Nice single-player action games are Crosscode (top-down real-time combat RPG with puzzles kind of like old Zelda games), Hollow Knight (very interesting to play the first time, but I don't know if I would re-play it), The Messenger (great platformer), Shovel Knight Treasure Trove (has co-op but only in Shovel of Hope, as well as a card game in King of Cards), etc. If you can't find a kid-safe game that is either difficult or engages your brain, you're not looking. It just depends what kinds of games you would enjoy, as maybe it's possible that nothing I listed would strike your fancy, but I'm sure you'd find something easily.

@@linzers8894 My comment isn't showing up for some reason when I refresh, but there's plenty of great kid-friendly games with difficulty, you just aren't looking. I don't know what kind of games you play, but I'd consider most indie games kid-safe. There's plenty of fun ones and plenty that are just as difficult as you want them to be. Celese is great. The story is difficult, and the challenge levels even more so. There are tough roguelikes like Enter the Gungeon, One Step from Eden, and Crypt of the Necrodancer (all co-op). The platformers are maybe not as tough as they used to be, but still fun. I can rattle off a few I enjoyed (The Messenger, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Hollow Knight), but they tend to be single-player. And since you mentioned Nintendo, Pikmin is a very good kid-friendly series. Pikmin 4 has the most content of all the games, but I wouldn't say it's difficult. The dandori challenges can be fun to try and get platinum on each, and they require you to strategize (though it's not too hard to get platinum on each if you try enough times). Pikmin 3 has the absolute toughest challenge mode out of any of the games, and the story mode also has the best puzzles and multi-tasking as there are 3 captains for you to command. I believe Pikmin 3 Deluxe on the Switch has co-op, but I haven't tried it. There are even kid-friendly shooters. I've been playing Roboquest with my buddy (co-op PVE where you shoot robots) and it's pretty fun. We never get very far, just into the second area, probably because I don't play shooters and he spends significant portions of his health reviving me on the second area. There are plenty of kid-safe games you can play that aren't braindead (either in terms of strategy or difficulty). Just browse through Steam and find something.

Facts, I just Unsubbed from Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro, can't take anymore of their elitism and arrogance. Though I'm still subbed to DW as I still need more info on what the Leftoid Wokes are doing. 😅

Christians are the chosen of God, the nation of Israel. Anyone who claims a different group are those things are anti-Christs.

DW and Walsh are controlled opposition. They exist to grift money from the Right and dissuade people from taking effective action to change the culture. Traitors are worse than enemies.

Rad right is the other side of the coin of rad left, its just better to toss out that coin and not play

​@sand5857 THANK YOU. I was basically raised as a left-leaning centrist, but nowhere near as left leaning as the morons we're hearing about daily right now. And I was raised in basically the same manner above: video games came after homework and chores, only an hour of gaming per day, yadda yadda yadda. I'm now a software engineer (not in gaming, thankfully) and I apply the things I learned by playing the likes of Factorio, Oxygen Not Included, and many others to my full-time job. There was a comic I saw online years ago that basically said there's a third group of people stuck between the far left and the far right, a seemingly tiny group these days, that just wants both sides to shut up already. I hope they can bolster their numbers soon, because I'd rather not keep using the coin of radicals you speak of. Better to toss that one and use another coin altogether.

I relate a lot, i could escape to another world, always friendly and exciting, helped with trauma and stress.

Same. As someone also on the spectrum, video games were my escape, because in the video game world, no one could stop me or hurt me. I was the one with the sword, and I liked it.

To his credit, Matt is pretty good at DEMONSTRATING how the Right lost the Culture War. Show, not tell, right?

Its not over.

​@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz Don't know what you're smoking, but it's been over forever. The Right has abandoned pop culture and academia. Nothing but leftist scum as far as the eye can see. NOW the right have realized they done goofed and need to try an influence a younger generation into a different way of thinking and try to combat 40 years of propaganda and indoctrination.

They never fought it to begin with. They hid from it and are now standing around aghast asking, "What the hell happened?" This culture war was the easiest war in the world to win and the right refused to show up. They 100% deserve to live in a world where weirdos can openly stalk their kids. This is the world they enabled.

GenX here as well. I played Doom, Commander Keen, Castle Wolfenstein and MechWarrior in Middle School and highschool. Not even me or my friends or my enemies had this issue. Matt Walsh is so boring he would look at a box of 64 Crayola crayons and throw them in the trash

Also, there always seems to be an assumption that gamers are basement dwelling shut-ins with no outside life. I have a large group of friends from all over the UK and europe who I've known since my World Of Warcraft days and we talk all the time on discord and visit each others countries every year. The games we play now tend to be more based on what we can play together than any particular genre. The gaming has become a means to socialise distantly. On a side note: I mained a Tauren in World Of Warcraft. Lots of them came to my Wedding a few years back and my Wife was extremely confused when we opened all their presents to find out they were all cow themed.....

My parents vetted what games I played as a child and set a timer for how much play time I was allowed. I’m a fully functioning adult working as an engineer. I think video games were perfectly fine.

An absolutely fantastic take - totally agree

Yep, follow Gen Xer here. Before games parents used the TV as a babysitter.

whoa look at me so edgy and cool...but also like same though, me irl fr fr.

Games are the only way to explore or have an adventure anymore.

Matt Walsh may have had a boring childhood, so he's now trying to punish everyone else. 😂

Dull is an understatement.

What's funny about this whole thing is Dr. Jordan Peterson is very open about his opinion on "play"/"games" and how it's essential to humans, especially as a constructive method to teach children. I'm pretty sure Dr. Peterson wouldn't agree with Walsh's take at all, especially with as open minded as he is. At the same time, I've often wondered who's allowed to say what in the DW group since their very-public spat with Crowder - that was so crazy seeing a pack of dogs all jumping at one man's throat in unison.

If he doesn’t change his opinion he’ll get the same treatment the woke devs are getting.

When was that? Early videogames would be largely rated M.

Preach! I learned incredibly important lessons and philosophy from games that no other element of my life has taught me. I played games like Myst and Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri for instance. Really, the idea of "video games" being universally bad comes off as matt walsh being a zealot with a personal crusade.

When pretty much ALL the musicians were spouting politics non-stop in their songs and TV was ALWAYS going to be the domain of "progressives" in whatever show or movie was going to be made, Conservatives' biggest mistakes were relying on religious programming and "perfect family" setups far too often. By doing so, those that could disprove those setups were always going to be seen to be "more culturally relevant" during that time, and that's how the strong position that religious themes and ideas had were eventually COMPLETELY removed from Hollywood, while Hollywood types then reframed (and hijacked) "compassion and mercy" as ONLY Liberal ideas, when it ACTUALLY were one of the main themes of religion.

@@sigmacademy With TV in particular, conservatives said it was fad and didn't even try beyond karening about programs they didn't like.

If you listen to the guy He is just a leftist masquerading as right. Total grifter and he has gone full mask off before. He 100% supports the trans narrative after all.

Yup, I now consider myself right leaning but when I was growing up I absolutley despised the Republican Party due to crap like this.

They actively want the culture war to continue as they're making money from it. They reject every chance of commonality with others and bonding over things that everyone can agree with as they need to constantly fuel fires. It's so depressing, as the vast majority of people can agree on lots more than we disagree on; corruption is bad and should be eliminated, if we have to pay tax, EVERYONE pays tax, people that hurt children should be fired into the sun; are some examples, but people on both sides of the culture war kick off with trans rights, or other bull and immediately draw battle lines over issues that affects practically no one but they know they will make money off, whilst corporations and the elite walk all over the regular folk.

You do realize that fields that attract creative types are full of leftists because people who disagree with them abandoned the education field long before mass media? It's like most of y'all don't understand how societies work to sustain themselves.

The right has always been on the losing side of the culture war because they, for some reason, reject culture. It annoys me how many on the right ignore any form of art as for liberals. Which is very convenient for communists because that's how they subvert a culture.

I play Madden with my son and he LOVES it. I can't stand the game, but I love how excited he gets when we play it together.

I play video games with my kids all the time they are obsessed with space engineers, mechwarrior, Armoured Core and games like mediaeval dynasty and other survival games. As a result they have a deep passion for space, science, robotics, camping amd hunting. They soak up any information on those topics like a sponge it's even motivated me to expand my knowledge in order to teach them New things I'm getting an engineering degree and people look at me weird when I say it's to teach my kids about the things they love.

I'm not sure what those of us who don't drink or smoke are supposed to do if the only "acceptable" form of relaxation for adults is to have a snifter of brandy with a cigar. I like Matt generally, but as I mentioned above, his pop culture takes are absolute hot garbage. They really need to bring on somebody who understands nerd culture at the DW, because the people they currently have don't and it shows. Even Brett Cooper, who is probably the closest thing they have to a pop culture expert at this moment, has never mentioned being a gamer and leans more toward tiktok trends.

Someone should make Matt play Chrono Trigger.

Games are gone in a night, too, if you don't get physical media. Good luck!

@@MephiticMiasma Not true. Backups exist, abandonware sites exist. If you have it on your hard drive, it exists. The internet archive also exists. Games are like books, in this way.

@@MephiticMiasma YOHOHOHOHO The ARCHIVE is Ever Expanding.

People like Ben Shapiro and his DW employees seem to think that standing on a street corner waving a bible and telling kids they're going to hell unless they stop playing Dungeons & Dragons and reading those dang comic books is a winning strategy, rather than the leading cause for why conservatism lost the culture war back in the 90's. When Trump came along in 2015 and tapped into internet culture, rising in popularity and dragging the GOP along kicking and screaming in the process, these same neo-cons were out there demanding that we stop shitposting and sharing "offensive" memes. They either can't read the room and have no clue how to win, or they're actively trying to sabotage their own side.

Actually, Klavan HIMSELF said that gaming was a great way to pass along values and morals, something along the lines of games being the same kind of vehicle as books were in the past. Also, the DW crew having such a stance on gaming seems bizarre. As a media company, wouldn't they want to start up a games studio in the future?

@@sigmacademy I'll concede that I don't think much about Klavan when I talk about DW because he never caught my attention. I will also add Brett has never engaged in this from what I've seen. Even Michael is slightly more relaxed in this regard (possibly from his libertarian phase) and that likely helped with him making a drinking game. I probably should have just said Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh rather than saying all DW (shout out to the editors for being tapped into pop culture for example). I agree that they should be looking into gaming but I don't think they are or will (some conservative organization should). I also think looking down on pop culture and hobbies like gaming is a good way to push away the young (which I reckon is why so many of us have libertarian phases to avoid the stuffy, uptight caricature of Republicans).

Klavan actually does appreciate games, and he's the oldest. sadly, ben and matt have got some kind of anti game brain parasite. as much as I respect their opinions on other topics, they need to stop spouting nonsense on this one.

@@sigmacademy i actually recently watched a video where he played Helldivers 2. was entertaining XD he seemed to enjoy it a lot. he does seem like one of people that appreciate it. him, Brett Cooper and Jordon Peterson.

Exactly! I bet in 15 years Matt’s children will be spewing all the leftist platitudes that we’re all fighting against now and the leftists will use the fact that Matt Walsh’s children are on their side for clout.

had a similar experience, but when i got to college i just landed in massive burnout due to all the directions i had been pushed to keep me away from games. shortly before dropping out and spiraling into self loathing and depression. leading to basically achieving nothing in life and having zero confidence or motivation to do so. dont teach your kids to hate the things they love, because that hatred could very well direct itself at their own self for liking 'wrong' or 'bad' things.

​@@DarthZ01 hey Darth. I hope you have found something that motivates you and picks you up. It took me a long time to find any meaning to all this.

There is plenty to attack him for saying, you’re just repeating what Matt said without doing ANY research of your own. Matt has openly attacked video games time and time again and to deny that is to be as disingenuous as a leftist. I won’t disagree that people mistook one of the things he said but that’s about it.

if you didnt grow up with it, you probably don't get it. Had the same conversation with my mom who watches netflix all day.

THIS. But he can't do that, he NEEDS them!!!

And he should stop tweeting back and forth with his wife on X about giant plush walruses and goats. That's childish.

Crowder was 100% right about them. they are Grifters. They have shown time and time again they are just leftists draining money from the right.

Gina herself said that after the movie they had her star in, she had hoped she would worked longer with them, but haven't heard anything back from them. While that seems a lost opportunity for them, I also understand that they are still kind of a startup in the movie industry, and they need to still build up their brand in that regard. At the same time, they've also rehired other actors and actresses for other projects, so not doing the same for her comes across as rather peculiar.

@@sigmacademythough, how much more does she bill compared to the other actors they rehired? She was on the Mandalorian after all

​@@OctagonalSquareNot very high, considering she was essentially blacklisted via public media character assassination.

Well said 😄

Didn't strategy games from wargaming (the pen and pencil kind of games)?

indeed Violence causes Videogames!

Also, how about tactics? Flanking, how to cover areas or proceed through buildings? Cover fire, backup, avoiding friendly fire, that's a lot of skills.

@@Kassadinftw well I think tactics you are speaking of can be broken into 2 collums: a) tactical movement (which is kind of synonymous to "strategic" movement and thus I´d consider it a strategy game) b) reflex / muscle training, which could be achieved and trained better in real life than in a simulation where you dont use your own body (Im talking about usefulness to actual policemen or soldiers needs here)

@@sigmacademy "Diplomacy" is exactly that. A pen and pencil kind of game that simulates "reál politique"

Could not agree more. I stopped watching them because of this. I still buy their razors, though, because I like them more than I like Gillette.

the exception there, i believe is Brett Cooper and Jordon Peterson. i believe Brett Cooper is fully with gamers and such, though she cant talk about it as much cause well................her bosses utterly despise gamers. Jordon Peterson, while not seeming to understand gaming, seems to know about the war going on there and trying to at least keep in the loop of it. other than those 2, it seems like there is just a outright disdain for gaming by everyone there.

A bit more just Matt (the Wire’s crazy uncle) & Ben (Their Jew) sometimes especially when it comes to Hamas. Brett copper is very down to earth. Amala left and is very moderate. Candace Owen’s is the southern black mother of the group.

@@magistersolis.3750 DW are all just grifters. They all have their Mask off moments where they praise the Leftists and their policies. Dont think they are genuine when they say anything. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

Matt likes to pretend he grew up in a “Leave it to Beaver” 1950s fantasy where women and men knew their place and fulfilled their roles without complaint. Dad working, mom at home in the kitchen and the kids unquestionably obedient and looking to their parents as demi-gods. Church and state rule the nation and anyone contrary to the order is corrupt and living a life of depravity.

That's uncalled for. He lives in Tennessee, not Alabama. He married his cousin.

He doesn't play the banjo, it's a prop. He moved to Tennessee from California. Your comment wasn't funny or witty. y

@@jacobreed5655 My comment was funny & you can see that once you pull that massive STICK FROM YOUR ASS you uptight stickstick.

@@jacobreed5655 Woosh.

we should ban all sports, movies, tv, and even books. at least the fiction ones, and nonfiction that dont have historical or educational context. people should spend 8 hours sleeping, then 16 hours either learning or working. there shall be no downtime, no entertainment, no fun. it has been decreed.

Something tells me Walsh would rather die than make people give up their gun privileges lol...

Yep, both sides have a similar thinking pattern. Both sides lean toward being authoritarian in some form or another. The middle balance is the key and more people need to understand that.

You got the wrong take from Ben's retirement statement. He wasn't speaking about retirement from a specific job, but the idea of stopping work all together to just spend all day on the golf course or the beach (figuratively). Studies have demonstrated consistently that retirees without a purpose of some kind, some way to feel actively fulfilled, do not live long (around 5 years on average). That's why so many retirees pick up small jobs like being a Walmart greeter or devote time to directly helping raise grandchildren or great-grandchildren. It gives them a purpose in life, and a sense of continuing structure and achievement. He was also speaking in the context of changes in the expected lifespan and general health. We live longer and are generally in better health at advanced ages. Not in a "60 is the new 40" sense, but people are generally more capable now at advanced ages than from several generations ago (individual circumstances vary, as always). When Social Security was created and the official retirement age set at 65, the average life expectancy was 63. Life expectancy now is over 80. That 20 year increase is significant, and we need to adjustment our thinking to acknowledge it.

I think he's right as far as government funded retirement. We need to go back to the times where people were actually able to save for their own private retirement funds. But retirement isn't always bad. it depends what you do with it, and on individual situations. It can be as good for an older persons health as it can be bad. Someone who is all alone, has few friends or family, who retires is more at risk than someone who uses the time to spend with family and grandkids.

I do like them until they start talking nonsense about games. Matt and Ben need to stick to the topics they know something about. Ben literally did a rap collab, when he's been clear on disliking the genre. I wish he could use some of that open mindedness for gaming, which is more of an art form than rap ever will be.

That's why I find Michael Knowles as a much cooler Daily Wire resident Catholic.

Ben does a good job of that everytime he goes on a pro war rant.

@@RoKBottomStudios all of DW are just leftist Grifters. They all have Mask off moments that expose their leftist beliefs.

That was a fun game.

a lot of the best games do this kind of thing. your decisions can have consequences later on.

@@ATSaale When the vast majority of progressive politicians are trying to erode your right to own guns, you have to have major cognitive desinence to have both. It's like saying you want to save the whales while eating onomi sahimi. The two are diametrically opposed.

@@ATSaale you can also be 100% for free speech, and still vote for censorship. that doesnt mean you have a diverse opinion, it just means you support politics in direct opposition to your opinions. it also means youre probably an idiot.

​@@ATSaale No you cant. Being antigun is one of the pillars of being a "progressive", aka communist.

games have also made me more librarian! now keep your voice down!

And that is the real reason it is attacked. Gaming was and still is a haven from indoctrination.

Assassin's Creed comes to mind. I was fascinated with the amount of research put into making those games.

As someone a year older than he is, I've noticed Matt does have some ridiculously boomer-like hot takes. I can't stand the smug ignorance.

When did he say that?

@@therobustempyrean1436 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtqHfruTuJu8o6M.html

This. He can have whatever opinion he wants, people are allowed to be wrong. There's bigger fish to catch.

The thing is not who fights on which battlefield, it's him saying that we should just abandon our hill because he isn't interested in its fate. Retreatist rhetoric is counter productive, especially in a time when we are going on the offensive.

The reason I'm in this fight is because the far left came and attacked my interests. Anyone attacking me and trying to convince me to give up the things I actually joined the battleground for isn't an ally. They are a saboteur.

Problem is with the DW they are all just leftists grifting the right.

he's just another enemy. he wants the same thing the woke does, he just hates that they're winning instead of him.

Are any of those other activities working or are you just financially self-sufficient and don't need to work?

​@@Off-Brand_Devin8 hours work 8 hours game 8 hours sleep.

@Off-Brand_Devin I do work, although it's not a traditional job. I work on a ranch and engage in various other activities to earn money. I was also attempting to join the military, but unfortunately, they turned me away due to a foot surgery I had when I was a kid. Currently, I'm aiming to become a Texas State Game Warden, but that requires a bachelor's degree, hnece why i tried joining milltary. In the meantime, I'm working towards becoming a police officer. Is that a sufficient enough answer?

@@Elnegro.. Of course, and I was just curious as you made no mention of work. Best of luck to you on joining the police force.

@@Off-Brand_Devin Thanks.

Jesus made wine from water IN A SOCIALITE EVENT. Wine is supposed to be bad, and I get that. But it is a social event. Games are also like that. Games can be a certain connection among people.

​@@RaiosSephi Facts, something Cuckservatives will never understand.

Matt is a puppet for the 1%, he wants everyone to spend all our times slaving away in offices to make money for our overlords. Because thats how you contribute to society.

I think these uptight prudes see creator made content from games like Palworld and Minecraft and recoil from the debauchery. Its ok to condemn some forms of "art" and if the gaming community did this more than there wouldn't be any conflict

Because Klavan has had a journey, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh were told by their parents who they are and where they had to go and they did that and so they don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to walk their beaten path (even though others might have beaten paths of their own). Klavan is a jewish born former left-wingy book and Hollywood artsy fartsy type that divorced became a Christian conservative so he has had a traveled a lot physically (having lived in Europe and what not) and mentally, ideologically.

Yes, literally YES. I view Matt in the same way I view extremely pro-abortion "leftists", they simply act like a quisling by advertising the worst possible ideas imaginable that actively harm your position and then claiming that you speak for EVERYONE on "your side". Walsh is a troll that is trying to make conservatives look like culturless Philistines by insulting any attempt at getting into culture and DEMANDING that other rightwingers do the same. He wants all media to be leftwing.

Aren't they?
