RPG's Suck? 1

As ive gotten older, games have gotten more and more in depth. You can do so much crap with your characters, such as survive, work out, play casino games, drink alcohol.....fuck it wont be long until they have you buy your own groceries in GTA 6 
Anyone else fell like this is kind of sad? I mean, why not do the LIVING in real life? Why dont you actually GO to a casino, or call a girl and actually GO on a date, or actually HAVE sex. Why are they cramming "Living" Into video games?
As a 16 yr old with no life years ago, It was fun.....but I cant imagine that being their general target these days. Are people that fucking lame that they would rather live in a video game? For crying out loud dont buy The SIMS go make yourself a fucking sandwich and watch TV....In your own house Instead of buying Uncharted you probably could of bought a ticket to spend a week in Central America for the price of your gaming.

None of them games you described are really RPGs. RPGs are fucking amazing and the only games I really like. I rarely play them though cause they are addicting as hell and time consuming as fuck. But they don't feel like such a waste of time as online FPS. I used to be a FPS shooter addict and all it really was a waste of time. At least RPGs have goals and an ending. I personally prefer either RPGs or sandbox games with an occasional online shooter but I try to stay away from that addictive shit. I work out and play guitar and I work and I just don't have time for games anymore. Love em to death but nope. I liked the Elder Scrolls and metal gear solid, some of the older final fantasies (7-10) and And that's about it for current games that I would play still if I had time.

If anybody here is really into RPG's like me, you should strongly consider playing nethack. Free download linked below.
One of the most challenging, rewarding, well done, in depth games of all time. I'm not fucking around

You can find ROUND trip tickets to Latin America for $350 if you look hard enough. Once you are there housing and food is extremely cheap. Not to mention everything else.
Tell me how much was your computer SON

man, off topic. But buying pre-made computers is a waste of time and money. You can make a significantly more powerful machine for the same price as the one at best buy just by buying all the parts and putting it together yourself. (which is easy)
And that way, you get full customization.

Assembling a computer from store bought components is pretty damn easy if you have enough manual dexterity to use a screwdriver or put together Lego. Your average 12 year old could probably figure it out. Choosing the components takes some research and planning though.

i have heard of places (i think in asia) that are popular for surfers or something, basically people can just save up a couple thousand a live comfortably and surf all day for a year... been thinking about that some and how great it would be lol (i don't surf but hey i have a couple times, and i hate working lol), just live and work somewhere with low rent save up ten grand and take off for a few years and not have to work, rinse and repeat as desired...

In San Andreas you had to eat or you would die, but you ate at restraints, not at home.

you still have all the drivers to install, the softwares, and sometimes there's is troubleshooting involved. not so easy if you know nothing about those things.

I dunno man, even all the drivers have been relatively idiot proof all the times I've done it.
Yes you have to be somewhat tech savvy. But I imagine an intelligent person could do it with minimal research.
Once I forgot an operating system Had to save up for a little bit longer after getting all the components put together, then order and wait for the OS
