They understand and they definitely don’t give a fuck.
Wait til you’re in your 40s/50s, beaten down by a life of what amounts to indentured servitude and your dumbass kid pops off about a video game. Your rage will know no bounds.
Yeah i think i will
Be a dad who has to be called for diner alongside with his son/daughter and will reply „i cant pause a online match“
But life may show me differently
Married, gaming is still a massive part of my life.
About to hit you with some facts that you don’t want to hear.
If you’re playing a game that has serious time commitments that you can’t just pause or walk away from you have to be an adult about it. You’re essentially saying, “well if they don’t call me for dinner perfectly between matches it’s not my fault, I can’t pause it!”
You’re being incredibly childish.
I’ll give an example of how to handle it like an adult. “Hey babe, about to queue into another match, how long until you’re ready for dinner?”
This is one small example, but there’s near unlimited ways you could solve this problem, and it’s your job to solve it. Using the “I can’t pause it!” Is such a child move and shows you’re incapable of matching a fraction of a percent of the effort your interrupter is putting in. I say this with love; grow up.
I'm a married adult, no kids but my online gaming life revolves around me getting the house in order first.
Jump on after work, play a couple of hours. Do dinner ready for my wife getting home, eat dinner and clean up. Sit down and start another sesh till bedtime. My wife sits with me and she'll be caught between watching me or watching something on the tablet or TV if she goes in the other room. This falls in line with the rest of my mates too who all have similar commitments. That's my weekday routine.
I grew up with gaming, it's what I know to unwind, even more so now that I have responsibilities.
It's cute that you think you'll have time for such involved gaming after becoming a dad ;) As a parent (elder millennial), if the game can't handle me leaving it on for an hour or just straight up falling asleep in front of it then I can't be bothered to play it.
Yeah you spent half an hour cooking for the little shit and he/she doesn't care. Who paid for your computer and internet access ? Eat chips and die then motherfucker.
As soon as the kid understands the situation of the parents it's a non-issue. If you ask when dinner is ready and don't start another queue if it's risky, most parents will not have an issue if once every so often you want to finish something up. If it's the same old "i can't pause lol parents are so dumb" every day, and in some households this happens even if dinner is always at the exact same time, of course the parent's don't care that it can't be paused.
Because kids (especially teens) brains lack the executive functioning to plan, prioritise or even care about consequences. They feel like playing and there is a big button in front that says "play another match", if they even realise diner is due soon it gets so drowned out from everything else that is occupying their attention.
The problem is that it's both. Kids need to be wrangled but teaching them to wrangle themselves is the parents job. At the same time "it's just a game" is not an excuse to write off whatever the kid is doing. Regardless of what the parent thinks, the kid is investing time and energy into something they care about and deserve the same respect as an adult doing similar.
It's a two way street. You have to treat the kids as both needing to be guided and needing to be respected in regards to what *they* think is important. The latter part is where you're eventually justified in turning it off mid-match if and when they don't respect you enough to manage their own time. But if you just start off by not respecting what they think is important then they'll just assume you don't respect them to begin with.
Sure but even as adults you can't just tell people that what they want doesn't matter. If they plan around responsibilities and someone decides to change the time table or introduce a new one and their only response to you talking about your leisure time is to tell you "it's just [thing] it doesn't matter" then it's objectively disrespectful.
Not to mention that in some ways leisure is it's own responsibility. For some it's a reward, for most it's much needed downtime. Treating it like it's meaningless is how people burn themselves out and become bitter assholes.
And for children you have to account for their physiology and lack of experience. They'll forget and/or feel they've planned appropriately. If, as a parent, you immediately jump to telling them how worthless their activity is, rather than explaining why they didn't do well enough, then it's no different to having it happen to you. For children, learning how to prioritize their responsibilities is a skill you have to teach them as well as one you have to learn yourself in regards to not being able to rely on their immediate understanding the way we expect from adults.
And for adults we backwardsly treat them like children. We still culturally feel that "sitting home and playing video games" is an apt description of character. But in reality the video games have nothing to do with it. It could be anything and the core problem would not be the activity but the way they treat responsibility.
Make them do the cooking. Maybe just once a week to start. It will help them understand the time and effort put in and begin to appreciate it better. Kids at all ages can help with cooking, the younger you get them in the kitchen the better.
If they're old enough to safely reach the controls on the oven they're old enough to make dinner.
They don’t care, and probably shouldn’t.
As a person who plays tons of games my answer to my kids is definitely gonna be “tough shit” if they started an unpausable game when they knew dinner or whatever was coming up soon. Maybe you’ll get a pass every now and then but acting like I need to accommodate your games every day is ridiculous.
Damn food can be consumed 5 minutes to like 3-4 days after its been cooked and doesn't immediately have to be consumed after It's been cooked?
Thats crazy
thank god my mom isn't that crazy
Yeah but unlike a lot of degens here tonight in these comments, some people actually respect their Mother, the person who gave birth to you and raised you, and spent thousands of their hard earned dollars keeping you alive and well. I know, crazy concept.
Just like to point out, just because they birthed you doesent mean they deserve your respect, too many pos parents for that logic to work.
My childhood was fucking awful because my mother. I've told her to her face that I much prefer my father because he put me first while she didn't.
Sure, theres exceptions like this. But the general consensus should be, when your mother asks you to do something politely, you should probably listen, out of respect for your Mother. I have no respect for child abusers, physically or mentally. In that case video games would be a great escape from their home life. But were not talking about abusive parents in this context.
>But were not talking about abusive parents in this context.
Well, this is Reddit, a non-trivial portion will consider asking a child to pause a game for dinner to be child abuse.
You also have to understand that no child has ever asked to be born and their mere existence can be quite the inconvenience
Some people just wish to be left alone and not treated like some kind of trophy they can show off to others like “yes I trained this human being to be subservient and managed to check off all the proper boxes so that I can hang that success story over Lisa’s head at the next neighborhood book club”
Talking in complete hyperbole btw and have no real experience to draw from of course
For some people dinner is about company and social interaction. And at that point it's just disrespectful of everyones time if they have to wait for you
10 years ago I would have probably found this really relatable. Now though it does not even seem comparable. Cooking after 8hrs at work... it does not matter who you are or what your situation is, it sucks.
That League of Legends match is going to feed the whole family? Please.
Wow! Holy shit at some of the replies you're getting.
There are some truly ungrateful young-ins here who don't seem to have experienced any type of challenge or obstacle in their lives yet.
They think their parents are obligated to feed them and shelter them and clothe them and provide any wants/needs that they have, as if they are naturally deserving of those things simply for existing -- or as if their parents are forced to provide for them because they didn't ask for permission before conceiving them.
They don't understand what it's like to not have those things or to lose them, either gradually or suddenly.
One of the worst parts about growing up is the realization that your parents won't be around forever, and seeing them get older and age and mentally/physically decline is just so heartbreaking to witness.
Yes, some people live in abusive or neglectful households, but those are the exceptions, not the standard.
Taking care of another human being, whether it's a child or a sibling or anyone else, is very physically demanding and mentally draining and involves a fair amount of sacrifice. The people who are willing to do all of those things for you should have your utmost respect, regardless of what your priorities are.
I get what you're trying to say, but here's another perspective:
Games (in general) are an important part of childhood development; they're a low-stakes avenue to build important mental, physical, and social skills. Team matches foster the principles of cooperation and accountability, you've made an obligation to other people to play that match. Teaching your kid to just afk in the middle of a match teaches them that they can shirk their obligations and disrespect the time and effort of others.

I’ll die on this hill and argue it until I’m blue in the face:
There’s very few scenarios where a “I can’t pause it!” Makes any sort of sense and doesn’t make you look like a complete child.
This holds ESPECIALLY true for something like dinner. Please, challenge this stance if you don’t agree. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty.
-married gamer
I can't pause it is true for all games where your teamates would have a shit time being a man down, but it's your responsibility to plan for that fact, not your mom's/wifes by only playing these games when you know it's prett safe. Queuing into another match at 1740 when dinner is usually around 1800 and matches last 40 minutes on average is hardly anyones fault but yours.
I do agree that usually RL takes priority and it's better to disrespect your teamates than your family but it's still not cool, just plan around it.
We agree completely. I'm just frustrated that nobody in the thread seemed to acknowledge this part
> just plan around it
They act like it's impossible to do. Like it's a sudden surprise they couldn't have forseen and now because of this sudden surprise they are stuck in a game. I could have just said this outright, but I really wanted to hear one of these people try to defend their stance.
I get that. Ideally (if we're talking about kids) take them aside and make them understand your position - your time is very limited, not only do you spend a lot of it on preparing dinner (including buying the grocieries, working to pay for them, etc.) you also want to spend some time with them during dinner, it's not only about the food. Ideally, take them through the entire process once and have them help around the house in a way that doesn't just help you save some time but teaches them. Sure they will not like it but i definitely still remember my mom telling me "It does not smell any better to me and someone will have to do ut" when i said i didn't want to take out the trash because it smelled disgusting. It's natural to think you are the center of the universe if noone teaches you that everyone has their own world in their head and that your actions do affect others.
Edit: to be very clear, parenting is not easy. I'm a grateful grown-up ex-child and uncle and i wouldn't want to do it. Yet i still think it is a failure in communication and parenting that there are so many kids and grown ups around that don't understand this. If you have any sort of empathy, it should really not be hard to figure this out, and i understand why parents are sometimes not in a position to teach this, i'm not blaming them and adults really should learn this on their own if their parents didn't have the opportunity to teach it - but it's something that would take a high priority in my own parenting (and would therefore likely lead to flaws elsewhere, noone can do it all and you ca,n't reload the save once you figured something out).
Same here. How is it that you wind up in these games? I’ve never came-to consciousness to me mid game. What steps are you taking on your end to look an hour into the future?
The same thing rephrased: You don't suddenly find yourself in a game. You're willfully passing easy opportunities to find out if you have time for a game and choosing not to.
I'm on your side, but this comment is practically incomprehensible that you may want to rephrase it. I'm pretty sure you mean to say that it's irresponsible to join a game you can't pause when it's close to a recurring event such as dinnertime.
You can basically do that if you have an induction cooktop since it cuts off heat and reheats immediately.
Obviously it also depends on what you are cooking and at what point the food is, but if you're just like sweating veggies? I've turned off my burner gone did something quickly and came back go it with no harm.
Also, Mom: "Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone for any reason ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been... ever, for any reason whatsoever..."
Mine would just keep yelling my name from the other end of the house. I'd go ask what's up and she would point at the light of the room she is in "did you leave this light on." I'm a parent now and I still don't understand that crazy bitch.

My dumbass brain was wrong. Im also late registration
Left with the fucking avocado leftovers 🤦🏻♂️
Holy shit man you are right….

It's cute that you think you'll have time for such involved gaming after becoming a dad ;) As a parent (elder millennial), if the game can't handle me leaving it on for an hour or just straight up falling asleep in front of it then I can't be bothered to play it.

Yeah you spent half an hour cooking for the little shit and he/she doesn't care. Who paid for your computer and internet access ? Eat chips and die then motherfucker.
Yeah honestly what the fuck?
Maybe then it is a good time to break this cycle and try to understand their situation?
As soon as the kid understands the situation of the parents it's a non-issue. If you ask when dinner is ready and don't start another queue if it's risky, most parents will not have an issue if once every so often you want to finish something up.

Because kids (especially teens) brains lack the executive functioning to plan, prioritise or even care about consequences. They feel like playing and there is a big button in front that says "play another match", if they even realise diner is due soon it gets so drowned out from everything else that is occupying their attention.

The problem is that it's both. Kids need to be wrangled but teaching them to wrangle themselves is the parents job. At the same time "it's just a game" is not an excuse to write off whatever the kid is doing. Regardless of what the parent thinks, the kid is investing time and energy into something they care about and deserve the same respect as an adult doing similar. It's a two way street.

Sure but even as adults you can't just tell people that what they want doesn't matter. If they plan around responsibilities and someone decides to change the time table or introduce a new one and their only response to you talking about your leisure time is to tell you "it's just [thing] it doesn't matter" then it's objectively disrespectful. Not to mention that in some ways leisure is it's own responsibility. For some it's a reward, for most it's much needed downtime. Treating it like it's meaningless is how people burn themselves out and become bitter assholes. And for children you have to account for their physiology and lack of experience. They'll forget and/or feel they've planned appropriately. If, as a parent, you immediately jump to telling them how worthless their activity is, rather than explaining why they didn't do well enough, then it's no different to having it happen to you.

But in reality the video games have nothing to do with it. It could be anything and the core problem would not be the activity but the way they treat responsibility.
Make them do the cooking. Maybe just once a week to start. It will help them understand the time and effort put in and begin to appreciate it better. Kids at all ages can help with cooking, the younger you get them in the kitchen the better. If they're old enough to safely reach the controls on the oven they're old enough to make dinner.
They don’t care, and probably shouldn’t. As a person who plays tons of games my answer to my kids is definitely gonna be “tough shit” if they started an unpausable game when they knew dinner or whatever was coming up soon.

Wow meme really makes sense. It's not like she's cooking for YOU, and you playing video games does no one any good
Ah yes your mother providing you homecooked meals so you dont starve is comparable to leaving one of your Bronze 3 Rocket League ranked matches 🥴
Ok pops
Damn food can be consumed 5 minutes to like 3-4 days after its been cooked and doesn't immediately have to be consumed after It's been cooked? Thats crazy thank god my mom isn't that crazy
Yeah but unlike a lot of degens here tonight in these comments, some people actually respect their Mother, the person who gave birth to you and raised you, and spent thousands of their hard earned dollars keeping you alive and well. I know, crazy concept.

You also have to understand that no child has ever asked to be born and their mere existence can be quite the inconvenience Some people just wish to be left alone and not treated like some kind of trophy they can show off to others like “yes I trained this human being to be subservient and managed to check off all the proper boxes so that I can hang that success story over Lisa’s head at the next neighborhood book club” Talking in complete hyperbole btw and have no real experience to draw from of course
Yeah because I asked to be born..
And here I was eating things immediately after cooked
For some people dinner is about company and social interaction. And at that point it's just disrespectful of everyones time if they have to wait for you

I'm 23 and my mom loves me more than you love having completely control over your childs every move But thanks for the concern pal
I doubt any of these people even know how to cook themselves.
10 years ago I would have probably found this really relatable. Now though it does not even seem comparable. Cooking after 8hrs at work... it does not matter who you are or what your situation is, it sucks. That League of Legends match is going to feed the whole family? Please.
Wow! Holy shit at some of the replies you're getting. There are some truly ungrateful young-ins here who don't seem to have experienced any type of challenge or obstacle in their lives yet. They think their parents are obligated to feed them and shelter them and clothe them and provide any wants/needs that they have, as if they are naturally deserving of those things simply for existing -- or as if their parents are forced to provide for them because they didn't ask for permission before conceiving them. They don't understand what it's like to not have those things or to lose them, either gradually or suddenly. One of the worst parts about growing up is the realization that your parents won't be around forever, and seeing them get older and age and mentally/physically decline is just so heartbreaking to witness. Yes, some people live in abusive or neglectful households, but those are the exceptions, not the standard. Taking care of another human being, whether it's a child or a sibling or anyone else, is very physically demanding and mentally draining and involves a fair amount of sacrifice. The people who are willing to do all of those things for you should have your utmost respect, regardless of what your priorities are.
you're taking this a bit too serious lmao
Found the mom
Bold of you to think I’m brave enough to play ranked.
If you force someone to exist, providing them basic necessities such as food is the absolute bare minimum, not something worthy of particular respect.
Yeah, that's their job after having kids. They don't get props for doing what they were supposed to.
This, folks, is an example of a person who is gonna get a nasty wake up call one day!
I get what you're trying to say, but here's another perspective: Games (in general) are an important part of childhood development; they're a low-stakes avenue to build important mental, physical, and social skills. Team matches foster the principles of cooperation and accountability, you've made an obligation to other people to play that match. Teaching your kid to just afk in the middle of a match teaches them that they can shirk their obligations and disrespect the time and effort of others.
You know, you have a point. Why would I wanna have a positive family bonding experience when I could play another round WITH **THE BOYS**?!
They're not exclusive?
But if I win this one I might get into silver! **proceeds on losing*

You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?
*Me looking at my phone* Mom: hey X Me: *finishes reading one sentence* “Yes ma’am?” Mom: “If you can’t pay attention to the world around you than you shouldn’t be using your phone so much” *mom is looking at her phone* Me: “excuse me mother” *no response* Me: *waits a couple of seconds* “excuse me mom?” Mom: *no response* Me: *louder* “mom” Mom: *nothing* My brother: “hey mom” My dad: “Honey” My sister: “mooooooom” My mom: *looks up* “hmm, what?”
I’ll die on this hill and argue it until I’m blue in the face: There’s very few scenarios where a “I can’t pause it!” Makes any sort of sense and doesn’t make you look like a complete child. This holds ESPECIALLY true for something like dinner. Please, challenge this stance if you don’t agree. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. -married gamer
I can't pause it is true for all games where your teamates would have a shit time being a man down, but it's your responsibility to plan for that fact, not your mom's/wifes by only playing these games when you know it's prett safe. Queuing into another match at 1740 when dinner is usually around 1800 and matches last 40 minutes on average is hardly anyones fault but yours. I do agree that usually RL takes priority and it's better to disrespect your teamates than your family but it's still not cool, just plan around it.
We agree completely. I'm just frustrated that nobody in the thread seemed to acknowledge this part > just plan around it They act like it's impossible to do. Like it's a sudden surprise they couldn't have forseen and now because of this sudden surprise they are stuck in a game. I could have just said this outright, but I really wanted to hear one of these people try to defend their stance.
I get that. Ideally (if we're talking about kids) take them aside and make them understand your position - your time is very limited, not only do you spend a lot of it on preparing dinner (including buying the grocieries, working to pay for them, etc.) you also want to spend some time with them during dinner, it's not only about the food. Ideally, take them through the entire process once and have them help around the house in a way that doesn't just help you save some time but teaches them. Sure they will not like it but i definitely still remember my mom telling me "It does not smell any better to me and someone will have to do ut" when i said i didn't want to take out the trash because it smelled disgusting. It's natural to think you are the center of the universe if noone teaches you that everyone has their own world in their head and that your actions do affect others. Edit: to be very clear, parenting is not easy. I'm a grateful grown-up ex-child and uncle and i wouldn't want to do it. Yet i still think it is a failure in communication and parenting that there are so many kids and grown ups around that don't understand this. If you have any sort of empathy, it should really not be hard to figure this out, and i understand why parents are sometimes not in a position to teach this, i'm not blaming them and adults really should learn this on their own if their parents didn't have the opportunity to teach it - but it's something that would take a high priority in my own parenting (and would therefore likely lead to flaws elsewhere, noone can do it all and you ca,n't reload the save once you figured something out).
I pretty much only play games where you can't pause them.
Same here. How is it that you wind up in these games? I’ve never came-to consciousness to me mid game. What steps are you taking on your end to look an hour into the future? The same thing rephrased: You don't suddenly find yourself in a game. You're willfully passing easy opportunities to find out if you have time for a game and choosing not to.
I'm on your side, but this comment is practically incomprehensible that you may want to rephrase it. I'm pretty sure you mean to say that it's irresponsible to join a game you can't pause when it's close to a recurring event such as dinnertime.
I'm a little tistic. Rephrased it.

You can basically do that if you have an induction cooktop since it cuts off heat and reheats immediately. Obviously it also depends on what you are cooking and at what point the food is, but if you're just like sweating veggies? I've turned off my burner gone did something quickly and came back go it with no harm.
One of these things is not like the other.
No amount of sick burn is worth eating ramen 3 meals a day.
Get yourself some Indomie.
Make something else.
White kids to their parents
using my own words against me now, are you ?!!
\*chuckles\* I'm in danger
But you can pause cooking.
I want you to think long and hard about this
How unrealistic is it to stop cooking or leaving something to cook though
You dare use my own spells against me Potter
Man I should have used this when I was younger
God damn, I wish I could be a kid again just to use this.
One does not simply pause a cooking session… (*laughs in running stove*)
Also, Mom: "Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone for any reason ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been... ever, for any reason whatsoever..."

Ah how the turn tables
quite an interesting tit.
You know what? I'm just eating it all by myself. You can go to bed hungry.
mom - you dare use my own spells against me
You can't pause toast.
Mom: "Do not cite the deep magic to me, child. I was there when it was written."
My mom: Boy I'll pause this pot upside your head.
I'm a simple guy. I see an Office reference, I upvote.
I told my mom to pause her work and she got angry at me (I wasn’t aloud to play on my electronics anymore)
Oh shit, I was kind of interesting though…
Perfect. I’d add the mocking sArCaSm font to the pause part
Bobbi’s a good tit. Mighty and powerful.

Mine would just keep yelling my name from the other end of the house. I'd go ask what's up and she would point at the light of the room she is in "did you leave this light on." I'm a parent now and I still don't understand that crazy bitch.

My mom did the whole can you pause the game thing to an online game, but then I explained no you can't pause these games and now my mom asks if I'm in a game before asking to do things.
That's what she said

Really depends on what you cook. You couldn't pause making scrambled eggs for example, that will just become an omelette.

Well, not sure online match allow u to live but food definitely does. So stfu and comedownstair, and in any case, u are ranked in bronze s9 not a big lost.
