What we’re missing here is both these men have instantly fallen head over heels for one another and they’re about to drop everything for a warm embrace
She started Let's Go Pikachu around 6, but was an exceptional reader so she could follow the story. There is a lot of reading and little handholding as far as progression. It taught her to use charts, as she needed to figure out typing weaknesses. She had already been playing Pokemon Go on the phone for about a year.
Now she's played Fire Red, Violet, and Arceus, just turned 9.
Our daughter got my wife's hand me down gaming laptop when she got a new one so we all game together. It's a bit choppy at the big base but not too bad. I made a dedicated server and we play with family over Discord. She likes to roam around Ashlands with her uncle.
It's great. My wife games and even has her own consoles/TV setup. We have 3 kids, and they love watching and participating during games. Lego games are great for them.
Halo is a great one too, I played with my first born coop and his younger brother is 8 years difference. So by the time I played with my younger son, my older son looked back with some nostalgia remembering being 10 playing Halo with Dad!!
Hell yeah man, i remember playing need for speed underground with my dad back in the day. I doubt he even liked it honestly, but for me that was awesome
Having someone to come home to, to have dinner with, to sleep with, and to go out with every weekend….without having to lose any sleep to crying babies on weekends.
As long as we’re compatible with our partner, that is the very definition of heaven
That crying baby "problem" is just temporary and emotionally so intense, no regular free day before or after can beat how that period of time feels. You're part of something bigger in life.
And later on the things you've done all your life come back again anyway, babies grow up. Living 80+ years, I have nothing worthy to gain from not even having a few different years in between at some point. Life stays more interesting that way.
I bought a PS5 last month before the tariffs rocked the market, and I haven’t even had a chance to hook it up because I’ve been showing my kids the LoZ games I played as a kid. I suspect when I’m done with that, I can connect it, but I’m only on the Water temple in OoT!
Let’s be real. Whether you’re “winning” at life depends entirely on which version of the circus you signed up for.
Some people are out here living like royalty. They sleep in, binge games, take expensive vacations they can’t pronounce, and complain when their oat milk latte is a degree too cold. Their homes are clean, their schedules flexible, and their biggest commitment is remembering to cancel free trials before the charge hits.
Then there are the absolute maniacs who choose parenthood. These people willingly get woken up by goblins they created, eat cold leftovers while standing, and count going to Target alone as self-care. Their vacations involve packing snacks for someone who’s just going to throw them anyway. A night out? That’s just collapsing on the couch in mismatched socks, praying the baby doesn’t wake up for the fifth time.
Sounds miserable? Joke’s on you. That’s my life and I love it more than I love sleep. Which is saying something.
And don’t forget the quiet legends who ditch it all. No career ladder, no nightclubs, no video games. Just soil under their nails, cucumbers in their garden, and inner peace levels we can’t even comprehend.
So who wins? Nobody. Or everybody. Depends on your chaos tolerance. Just hope you picked a life that makes you grin like an idiot when no one’s watching.
I know. But the fact it sounds so wonderful and I still choose the kids lifestyle over it, should tell you that it's freaking amazing to be a parent. Before I had my kid I loved that free time and if somebody touched my sleep I got cranky. And now I for some reason don't care anymore. I'm just happy. But it's not the way to go for everyone, haha.
Dude, you can be a dad and game. My sons and I play mtg and smash bros and so on. My wife and my sons and I play dnd and I DM. It’s the best. We’re watching the last air bender with my kids for the first time and it’s so so fun.
Taking your kids out to the park and get ice cream cones is better than playing PlayStation everyday. Yeah, I’m tired most of the time. But it’s worth it
lol I was thinking the same thing. Something only Asian American guys can relate to
Edit: for those misunderstanding, it’s a common experience for Asian American guys to develop some inferiority complex in their teenage years because it appears that women are on average not as attracted to Asian men compared to other ethnicities. Furthermore, it appears that Asian women are more capable of dating outside their ethnicity than Asian men. It’s not that big of a deal, but it’s a rare W for Asian men to have a non-Asian romantic partner
Not just American Asians… I’m white and my husband(❤️🔥) lived in China until he was 23
Edit: I also built him a good gaming PC and am about to upgrade the PS4 to a PS5 for him because he wants to play the new assassin’s creed, plus we’re a couple months from our first baby being born. We might not have time to play as much for a while but we’ll figure it out, we both love video games
I know the pain and triumph of fighting an Elden Ring boss 73 times before finally succeeding (Black Knife Alecto). I know the joy of picking my daughter up and having her smile in excitement because I’m home from work.
Those were both experienced in the same day. One of those guys can experience both, the other can’t IMO.
Family man of course. You can play games with your kids and when they grow up even more you can play seriously with them and when they get out of the house you can game and goon allllllll day.
Damn I never wouldve expected them being posted. They have a YouTube Channel called ElizaBenny I think where they post their lives in Taiwan. Fun family
Idk man... Coming to empty home after work and sitting down playong videogames might feel good for a while but on the long run... I'd rather have love and maybe kids too.
At that very moment, probably the guy with the console. But in life, 100% the guy with the kids. He has as a partner, and kids whom I’m sure love him very much. I don’t have kids myself, but seeing the joy that kids bring to a parent is incomparable to anything else.
Sure are. I can give you a balance sheet showing their asset worth and liabilities and also do an income statement seeing how much revenue they produce over how much they are costing in expenses. Full service accountant putting value on human beings.
The guy with diapers goes on the PS when the kids are in bed then shags his wife. The other guy goes on the playstation then has a pot noodle and a wank.
The projections for future demographics are clear, especially for highly developed nations like Korea and Japan. And every year people have fewer children than the models predicted so if anything it is trending worse than expected.
The trends in CO2 emissions are worse than expected and have catastrophic consequences, which are far worse than any temporary economic issues that result from a voluntarily-lowered population to a sustainable level. More humans (especially overconsumers) means more emissions. The fact that South Korea's and Japan's fertility rates have plummeted is great for the environment (and therefore great for the future of humanity) because they're overdeveloped nations full of overconsumers on an ecocidal rampage. We should all hope that they continue to plummet and that other overdeveloped countries like the US get their fertility rates down to their levels.
CO2 is one of the many greenhouse gases that industrial processes and consumption emits, which heats up the atmosphere, which causes harmful events like heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural (and increasingly artificial) disasters. And overconsumers abstaining from reproduction isn't "getting rid of humans." It's lowering the population to a sustainable level, not to 0.
Yes it is. There are more than enough non-South-Koreans to keep the species going. Unless the entire human population dips below ~500k, there is absolutely no concern for extinction, assuming the dip is 100% voluntary and not caused by apocalyptic events. And even then, the concern is more about maintaining genetic diversity than extinction.
It is about extinction. The average age of the population will increase if people don't have kids which will replace the previous generation. Thus, not only genetic diversity will fall, because of the aging population, those that are eligible to have kids will decrease with time, and you know, leading to extinction. Which is, mind you what you want you Anti-Natalist piece of shit.
Nope. Just because there are fewer births doesn't mean there are none. We can lower the population without becoming extinct and must if we want to avoid civilizational collapse. I'm a conditional natalist, with the condition being a sustainable population level. We're really far from that level, and scientists agree.
If you disagree with them, please cite a research paper that says we actually need 10,000,000,000+ people (or whatever your position is).
What we’re missing here is both these men have instantly fallen head over heels for one another and they’re about to drop everything for a warm embrace
Looong looong maaaaaaaaannnnn
Best twist ever
Now there's a reference I haven't seen in a while. Fantastic
Sigh. Time for my yearly rewatch.
Jacksepticeye always goes crazy
What’s with this modern trend of any connection between men no matter the context is seen as really gay?
greener grass.
I think it's obvious that they guy getting the vidya won. The poor bastard carrying diapers can't sleep in, can't do anything.
And the other guy is implied to be maidenless.
[deleted]
He has such a good wife.
and this is why I hate Reddit. WHY TF ARE YOU DOWNVOTED!? YOU JUST GAVE A GREAT COMPLIMENT TO SOMEONE LIKE WTF IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!? HOLY GOD!!
Better to be maidenless than have a kid.
lol what? Weird ass shit to say
[deleted]
What a miserable outlook on life
However you need to cope with your sadness dog 😂 my son made life so much better. Fucking weird ass lol
Common Reddit L
Very good suggestion to all mindless people.
That's what I thought. Until I met a lovely maiden and had a wonderful kid.
Once braindancing from cyberpunk becomes reality we wont ever need maidens
True, but we will also need the vats from brave new world to keep the species going.
You might think that. I get it.
But I would trade every single video game I ever played or will play to spend another day with my son when he was just a few years old.
Priorities change.
Yep, I love my games and gaming system, but would, without hesitation, sacrifice half the world for my kids. Not even close.
Idk two kids means he’s get action. Other guy is building models by himself lol
Wdym he's building it with the lads.
Those aren’t Warhammer lol. Those are sad boy anime models. Only the lonely boys pack their shelf’s with bunny girl cosplays and goku’s.
Not worth it.
Ah, another sad soul missing life's grandest achievement
Nutting in a woman isn't an acheivement.
"I sleep in a racing car, do you?"
What’s grass?
I dunno my kids and I always game together. Our stardew valley farm is played by the entire family.
Stick fighter night gets competitive though 😀
this is the way
I was able to convince my wife to buy another Xbox to send our oldest to college with so he could play with his siblings!
My wife hates gaming. My daughter loves it though 😁
How can you "hate" it? Just move past it
I have some pretty epic Pokémon battles with my daughter.
Also, she can collect things for our base in Valheim. Gotta keep that supply of wood and deer meat!
I couldn't get the family on board with Valheim. I even bought a steam deck so we could play together.
What's the age and setup? Wondering how and when to introduce our almost 5 year old
She started Let's Go Pikachu around 6, but was an exceptional reader so she could follow the story. There is a lot of reading and little handholding as far as progression. It taught her to use charts, as she needed to figure out typing weaknesses. She had already been playing Pokemon Go on the phone for about a year.
Now she's played Fire Red, Violet, and Arceus, just turned 9.
Amazing, and for stuff like Valheim each has their own PC?
Our daughter got my wife's hand me down gaming laptop when she got a new one so we all game together. It's a bit choppy at the big base but not too bad. I made a dedicated server and we play with family over Discord. She likes to roam around Ashlands with her uncle.
Very cool! Thanks
This comment makes me eager for when my kids get a little older and start understanding games.
It allows you to spend some money on fun toys the whole family enjoys too.
It's great. My wife games and even has her own consoles/TV setup. We have 3 kids, and they love watching and participating during games. Lego games are great for them.
Lego was a great family one for us too.
Castle crashers was one everyone loved as well!
I'm waiting for my son to grow up so we can play halo together.
Halo is a great one too, I played with my first born coop and his younger brother is 8 years difference. So by the time I played with my younger son, my older son looked back with some nostalgia remembering being 10 playing Halo with Dad!!
Yes I am on the waiting train as well!
My sons and I play all the time.
Hell yeah man, i remember playing need for speed underground with my dad back in the day. I doubt he even liked it honestly, but for me that was awesome
Crazy concept: life is not a competition!
Both can be happy.
Then why is it called the human race?
“Theres only one race, the human race”
“What about NASCAR?”
Rip vine 5ever in our hearts
That's because humans are racist
Alternate take, those two guys recognize each other from grindr
Whichever one is happier. Life is one of those games where there's multiple ways to win
Exactly, or maybe they’re both equally happy. Live life how you like, it’s not a competition.
Gamer guy's smirk lmaooo
while going upstairs to the store to return his console
[deleted]
And there are those who never regretted being married and having a child.
Different strokes for different folks.
Having a child is the best decision I ever made
Yep this is the best balance!
Having someone to come home to, to have dinner with, to sleep with, and to go out with every weekend….without having to lose any sleep to crying babies on weekends.
As long as we’re compatible with our partner, that is the very definition of heaven
That crying baby "problem" is just temporary and emotionally so intense, no regular free day before or after can beat how that period of time feels. You're part of something bigger in life. And later on the things you've done all your life come back again anyway, babies grow up. Living 80+ years, I have nothing worthy to gain from not even having a few different years in between at some point. Life stays more interesting that way.
[deleted]
Some of these people can't fathom people who don't have or don't want kids. They will say anything to make it look like having kids is superior.
But it is.
Nah, it's worse, especially considering how ecocidal it is.
Wife plus kids in a happy family beats Ps5 every single time.
Very subjective. Not everyone likes kids.
I think that’s the point of qualifying it with “happy family”
I know several parents who only like their own kids and hate every other kid.
You can have both .. family guy likely has one
Right? And what greater joy is there than seeing your kid become a gamer like you?
So many broken families in the world definitely makes this not true.
I bought a PS5 last month before the tariffs rocked the market, and I haven’t even had a chance to hook it up because I’ve been showing my kids the LoZ games I played as a kid. I suspect when I’m done with that, I can connect it, but I’m only on the Water temple in OoT!
Easily the best temple in that game.
He's holding diapers cuz his ps5 is already at home.
His wife bought it for him and the kids for their last anniversary lmao
His wife is hot at least
DINK for life, baby
Let’s be real. Whether you’re “winning” at life depends entirely on which version of the circus you signed up for.

Not gonna lie you really sold the no kids life style haha.
I know. But the fact it sounds so wonderful and I still choose the kids lifestyle over it, should tell you that it's freaking amazing to be a parent. Before I had my kid I loved that free time and if somebody touched my sleep I got cranky. And now I for some reason don't care anymore. I'm just happy. But it's not the way to go for everyone, haha.
The older I get the more I wanna be like the father going down the escalator vs the kid going up.
I'll be the kid you're carrying
I'll be the camera.
How is the man going up a “kid”? Both guys look around the same age.
Kid in the sense of manchild
So you wanna force others into this dying world? Or are you open to adoption?
This is so stupid. I am both of these people.
Both, in different ways.
I just saw this same thing but it was a guy in motorcycle gear holding a PS5. Nothing is original.
If she stays with him forever then the husband won. If it ends before GTA VI comes out then the gamer won lol
not sure why you can't have it all. ps5 with wife and kids - play after the wife and kids go to sleep. this is the way.
Anyone who says “oh yeah well with kids…” nah bro. Massive copium, get back to your duties changing them smelly diapers.
I forgot this sub existed.
Dude with the family, he's having a lot of sex obviously
Dude, you can be a dad and game. My sons and I play mtg and smash bros and so on. My wife and my sons and I play dnd and I DM. It’s the best. We’re watching the last air bender with my kids for the first time and it’s so so fun.
Taking your kids out to the park and get ice cream cones is better than playing PlayStation everyday. Yeah, I’m tired most of the time. But it’s worth it
What's that Bowser figure he's got?
Both Happy = Both Won
Neither one Happy = No one Won
Plot twist: family man has ps5 at home… and a loving family
Technically we have no information if the other guy also has a loving wife / kids.
We also dont know if the guy with kids doesn’t have a banger PC.
Well the asian dude has a white wife. Now that’s super rare, and a win.
What
lol I was thinking the same thing. Something only Asian American guys can relate to
Edit: for those misunderstanding, it’s a common experience for Asian American guys to develop some inferiority complex in their teenage years because it appears that women are on average not as attracted to Asian men compared to other ethnicities.

Most white guys can relate to having a white wife
The guy with the ps5 is going upstairs to return it. Cause he's got no time to play because parenting
Can't relate, kids don't stop one from gaming if you don't want to stop
I have a wife and kid, would easily give up ps5 for them.
I know the pain and triumph of fighting an Elden Ring boss 73 times before finally succeeding (Black Knife Alecto). I know the joy of picking my daughter up and having her smile in excitement because I’m home from work.
Those were both experienced in the same day. One of those guys can experience both, the other can’t IMO.
Family man of course. You can play games with your kids and when they grow up even more you can play seriously with them and when they get out of the house you can game and goon allllllll day.
They both won
this hurts.
huh?
at some point in time, you can happily have both.
I know this has been meme’d to death, but there’s just something about this that I still find most of the variations of this meme very funny.
Why does it always have to be extremes? Like can’t he play video games with his kids?
Id rather shoot myself in the foot. Which is basically what having kids is.
He is slamming ass while she passes gas. He wins.
I saw this earlier today and it wasn’t all choppy and pixel-y. How did you do such a bad job OP?
Why is he going into the mall with the merchandise?
Some malls have upper level parking and game stores on the first floor
Plot twist, guy going up is returning everything because <insert reason here>.
both won but god damn I wanna be the guy carrying the ps5 he looks so happy

And that's all men's challenge! Peace, freedom and quiet, or pussy and madness.
They both did.
I never regretted being married, a gamer, and having 4 children.
reproduction for f..ck sake, we are not dinosaurs yet
Fun thing about having little children, you're home a lot and there's lots of time to play video games.
The Anti-Natalist crowd found this meme
Ones going to hell ones going to heaven 🤣
Adding insult to injury he has a white wife.
Hobbies always win, nothing better than to tap into your inner childhood. Self-care with some downtime like gaming is always an experience.
Damn I never wouldve expected them being posted. They have a YouTube Channel called ElizaBenny I think where they post their lives in Taiwan. Fun family
Definitely the dude with a family…
Idk man... Coming to empty home after work and sitting down playong videogames might feel good for a while but on the long run... I'd rather have love and maybe kids too.
Both happy. Both won.
As a married man with a PS5, I'd give it up for a kid. I'm hoping for a baby so the PS5 can collect dust
Why not have both
The one with a family will have someone to take care of him when he's older.
As the guy with the kids, who once was also the guy just with the game console, the guy with the kids wins by a mile.
There aren’t even any good games for ps5
At that very moment, probably the guy with the console. But in life, 100% the guy with the kids. He has as a partner, and kids whom I’m sure love him very much. I don’t have kids myself, but seeing the joy that kids bring to a parent is incomparable to anything else.
Bro got married to a hot white girl with two beautiful kids and other bro single but with all the free time in the world doing what he loves.
It depends on what you want. I personally never want kids so up escalator man is me but I have friends who want to be down escalator man.
false dichotomy. If you're rich enough, you have au pair and surrogacy. So both you and your partner play vidya together while still having kids
I always wonder how dumb you are to write that script, and yap nailed it.
I’m becoming a dad and I’m looking forward to a player two.
Kids are instant multiplayer lobby.
It is a lot of hard work at the beginning, but you are raising family that will share your love and hobbies. Dad comes out on top, in the end.
Id rather eat barbed wire.
Not if they die horribly in the climate catastrophe in the end.
I'd trade all my earthly possessions to be happy lmao
So you’d sell your family 😳
My family are possessions?
Sure are. I can give you a balance sheet showing their asset worth and liabilities and also do an income statement seeing how much revenue they produce over how much they are costing in expenses. Full service accountant putting value on human beings.
The guy providing for his family lmao
Obviously the one with kids. Who gives af if you had a playstation 50 years from now.
Bold of you to assume we'll have a habitable planet 50 years from now.
I'm the guy with Playstation, and I really wish I was the other guy.
You wish to force others into this dying world? Or are you open to adoption?
The guy with diapers goes on the PS when the kids are in bed then shags his wife. The other guy goes on the playstation then has a pot noodle and a wank.
they both won
Consumerism won
Biological parenthood is a larger form of consumerism because you're literally creating consumers on top of your own consumption
No one, winning would mean being able to afford having a family and hobbies.
I got both since The single guy can easily share his hobbies with a kid. Which I do with my kid.
Now we need Indian version of this
This hits different in the middle of a population collapse
The population is still growing despite the fact that we're in overshoot
The projections for future demographics are clear, especially for highly developed nations like Korea and Japan. And every year people have fewer children than the models predicted so if anything it is trending worse than expected.
The trends in CO2 emissions are worse than expected and have catastrophic consequences, which are far worse than any temporary economic issues that result from a voluntarily-lowered population to a sustainable level. More humans (especially overconsumers) means more emissions. The fact that South Korea's and Japan's fertility rates have plummeted is great for the environment (and therefore great for the future of humanity) because they're overdeveloped nations full of overconsumers on an ecocidal rampage. We should all hope that they continue to plummet and that other overdeveloped countries like the US get their fertility rates down to their levels.
I want to be sure I'm following your logic. CO2 is bad for humans so we should get rid of humans. Am I understanding you correctly?
CO2 is one of the many greenhouse gases that industrial processes and consumption emits, which heats up the atmosphere, which causes harmful events like heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural (and increasingly artificial) disasters. And overconsumers abstaining from reproduction isn't "getting rid of humans." It's lowering the population to a sustainable level, not to 0.
The projections for Korea for the end of the century are 4 people for every 100 alive today. That isn't sustainable either.
Yes it is. There are more than enough non-South-Koreans to keep the species going. Unless the entire human population dips below ~500k, there is absolutely no concern for extinction, assuming the dip is 100% voluntary and not caused by apocalyptic events. And even then, the concern is more about maintaining genetic diversity than extinction.
It is about extinction. The average age of the population will increase if people don't have kids which will replace the previous generation. Thus, not only genetic diversity will fall, because of the aging population, those that are eligible to have kids will decrease with time, and you know, leading to extinction. Which is, mind you what you want you Anti-Natalist piece of shit.
Nope. Just because there are fewer births doesn't mean there are none. We can lower the population without becoming extinct and must if we want to avoid civilizational collapse. I'm a conditional natalist, with the condition being a sustainable population level. We're really far from that level, and scientists agree.
If you disagree with them, please cite a research paper that says we actually need 10,000,000,000+ people (or whatever your position is).
Ask agian at 80.
Asian guy with the white girl defo won.
Neither. Two partners and lots of money even better
Both
I mean, if the gamer dude's genes are getting passed on, then him.
