As the other anon says, the wii was the big issue. The wiifit itself was only a part of the larger strategy to bring families into gaming. Even then, the wii only brought that facet into gaming. There is still the sports/mmos/battleroyales/movie-games/mobile/other shitty trends that continue to being more normalfags and bad practices into vidya.

No, the Wii argument is retarded and let me tell you why. I see all the time normalfags who ONLY own a Wii. the number of people who were turned into regular video game consumers as a result of the wii is disproportionately tiny in comparison to the Wii's sales. Especially when you consider the WiiU's awful sales. A lot of people blame the whole "Most people thought it was just a Wii extension" thing as why the WiiU failed. But that's the entire fucking point. The WiiFit was an extension to the Wii and sold gangbusters, Every white mom I knew had one, only now for Gamestops to be throwing them in dumpsters.
If the Wii brought normalfags into gaming, they would have eaten up the WiiU even if it was just an extension of the Wii. But the truth is that a lot of normalfags bought a Wii just for Wii Sports and then never bought another game for the thing. Once people had their fun with the Wii, they went back to not giving a shit about video games. Which is why the WiiU failed.
The real culprit of normalfaggotry ruining vidya is and always was the fucking iPhone. That piece of shit is why there's all these slanted studies that say that women are "the new majority in gaming" and why AAA companies are allowing feminist propaganda in video games. Without those slanted studies, any feminist shit thrown at a game company executive would have been shot down with "But our main demographic is boys, so make the protagonist a man or make her sexy." But because those studies exist, the suits look at those figures and think "Well, better make a strong independent woman the protagonist because we need that female market!"

Wii Fit and balance board were a flash in the pan that realistically went absolutely nowhere and were never heard from again until Wii Fit Trainer was added to Smash, whereas the combination of Hollywood influence, mass marketing of "geek chic", and the advent of social media did immense fucking damage to society. The sudden massive interconnection of people from all over the world allowed the loudest voices to influence the masses, making the plight of the average person seem like nothing when compared to the obsessive bitching about inequality and sexism and racism… I mean, why do the destruction of America's economy, the weakening and slow genocide of Middle America, the devaluing of the dollar, and the normalization of degeneracy and mutilation matter when MINORITIES and WAMMENS are having their feelings hurt?!

Yeah, the willpower bit is the most difficult hurdle to overcome. Healthy weight gain and loss is maybe two or three pounds a week, I'm not entirely sure, and too-good-to-be-true diets and exercise routines are always shit. The biggest thing to understand, though, is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer, since everybody's metabolism and sensitivities are different. That said, everyone can benefit from cutting back on overprocessed garbage in their diet and being at least a little more active.
Sadly, the science keeps changing because people are actually trying to pay more attention than they used to. Once upon a time in the 90's, children were force-fed this shitty infographic sponsored by corporate interests and pumped into public schools by the government; they didn't realize just how bad it was for you to consume mass amounts of grain and bread. Today, science is finally catching up to us, and scientists are finally realizing that stuffing your fat face with lots and lots of carbohydrates is actually really bad for you; an increasingly sedentary population eating tons of complex carbohydrates only increases the chances of developing serious complications and increases risk of heart attack or stroke. That's not even getting into the discussions about gluten/gliadin sensitivity, hybridized/GMO wheat products which have nearly THREE TIMES the amount of gluten in them, and Roundup/glyphosate use on large corporate farms which, amusingly, are typically used on hybridized/GMO wheat, making that a double-whammy.
A little bit of sugar and some grain in your diet is fine once you get to a stable medium in your health habits; it's fine to keep all things in moderation. Plus, to be fair, orange juice I like to add in a little bit of carrot juice for flavor is MUCH healthier than a can of soda, so if you're looking for a replacement, it's definitely much better for you in the long run. Just use some common sense.

Even then, You can go into a TDEE calculator, get your minimum, and build a diet around that;
Currently, My Caloric deficit is around 500-1000, with a total of 1500 on days where I'm not exercising, Yogurt, decent breads, red meat, fish, rice, carrot sticks, hell popcorn; Popcorn is a godlike stnack, 4.5 cups of unbuttered popcorn is around 115 calories, and pretty much stops any hunger pangs I get.
I feel like a lot of diets overcomplicate shit and scares people away, when there's some truth to "Calories in-Calories out", while it's not THAT simple, it's not that far off, you save a lot of money by just cooking your own shit, and ingesting more protein as a main staple of your diet.
It also helps when you're aware of how much you're eating, so when if, you can't cook a meal that day, you can go out and buy something that won't break your limits for the day, and eat intelligently.

Healthy fats are really important. Olive oil and coconut oil, animal fats and stuff like clarified butter. The body needs fat to process, and some level of natural body fat percentage isn't just healthy, but absolutely necessary to function. We can live without carbs or sugars, living in a state of ketosis (hence the Keto diet). Fruits, veg, and meats are also important. Carbs, breads, and pastas are more or less the vehicle to deliver the rest of those, and they provide a lot of calories that we may or may not even use.
Like I mentioned earlier, lobbyists produced the old food pyramid and gave it to the government to push, effectively paying to demonize fats and create this "health" craze where people avoided butter and such like the plague.

Hunger pangs are fine, but you'd be better off having some carrot sticks, a granola bar without corn syrup, because corn syrup is the goddamn devil; good luck finding one.

I don't know how healthy it is relatively speaking, but I always find that if I try to eat less in a single meal, I end up eating a LOT more over the course of the day. Most days I only end up eating one meal, which I know is bad, but doubling or even tripling my food intake is probably worse.

Processed lunch meats are carcinogenic, nigger. The more processed something is, the worse it is for you. Breakfast cereal isn't exactly the best thing he could be having, either, given all the bullshit I posted earlier about grains, gluten/gliadin, and sugars; they usually fool people into buying that shit despite the fact that half of it is corn syrup, added sugars, marshmallows, and artificial flavorings, by adding all those labels about how it's "fortified" with vitamins and minerals.
More natural, less artificial.
If any of you out there actually want to suppress your hunger realistically, try buttered coffee. Yes, it's a thing, and it works; caffeine is a natural appetite suppressant and diuretic, and the butter in it gives you some fat calories to burn throughout the day and helps counteract some of the bitterness of black coffee.

I don't care what /fit/ says, I'm not telling people to go out and get a gym membership or some ankle weights. I'm just saying people can do the bare minimum and not lose a foot to diabeetus. It's called being a fucking adult; there's no manual to it, but it's important to take care of the most basic shit.
I've argued with people who insist that McShit and Burger Kangz is better than trying to make real food, since it's more convenient and not THAT bad for you. When their arguments got them backed into a corner, they just started calling people names and fucked back off to nowhere like the retards that they are. Basic adulthood is surprisingly basic, but there are faggots that continue to resist doing things that will absolutely make their lives not only easier, but make them happier and healthier in the long run.

I can't tell you the number of autistic faggots that do crazy and innovative things because of video games; I met people who opened an incredibly successful business, created wonderfully inspired music, got incredibly fit, and even built entire comprehensive and delicious food menus. All because of a dedication to video games. It just means we have to put in the extra legwork to support the lifestyle, rather than doing nothing but sitting our fat asses in a chair and wasting away.

You're half right, actually. It depends entirely on how you do it. The real correlation is that people who eat fewer meals tend to overeat. The key to gaining or losing weight is balancing how many calories you intake against how much you burn in a day, and keeping your metabolism running is an important step in maintaining your weight.
Blood glucose levels drop significantly after 5-6 hours of not eating, when your body has run out of calories to burn; your metabolism slows down, and you lose energy and become sluggish. Suddenly eating a big meal, your body doesn't digest and process all those calories you're dumping into it nearly as efficiently. The number of meals doesn't matter as much as what you eat, true, but if you're going to eat one meal a day and not ingest anything else of substance for 10-12 hours, you're going to burn it far more inefficiently, store much of it in your fat ass, and experience bigger highs and lows of energy than if you steady out your eating habits.
Also, did you know that doctors are not required to take any classes in nutrition, but culinary school graduates are? If you want healthy eating advice, talk to a professional chef who has gone through the courses or a licensed nutritionist.

Yeah, but here's the thing: put yourself into the mind of someone hooked on video games from a very young age. They're addicted to them, to the point of failing grades and lack of ambition. The only thing they want to do is play video games. They've ruined themselves by preventing themselves from developing in their most integral years. They know nobody outside their immediate family, and hate their own flesh and blood because they try to sever them from their video games. Why would they want to go and gain weight? Why would they want to lose weight? They don't have any reason to extend their lifespan, because what will 5 extra years of life get them asides from 5 more short years of video games, paling in comparison to the time they can get if they neglect themselves entirely instead? They may have tried at one point to do something different, or had other hopes and aspirations aside from video games, but they realized early on that they'd fail at it completely and make an utter mockery of themselves, and reasoned that it's better to abstain than it is to fail. If they had the stomach for it, they'd kill themselves, but they don't.

Bull fucking shit. The autistic don't have any drive at all to do anything but their singular and sole focus: the autistic can not multitask unless it directly involves their focus, they can not have varied hobbies and interests, and anything they don't immediately take a liking to is utter shit and not worth their time. When I say autistic, I mean it: /v/ is a board composed of clinical fucking retards who are so deep on the spectrum that it's not even funny, who only have anonymity to save them from the same fate as other autistics.

Motherfucker, that WAS me. I grew up living a cushy life playing video games 24/7, staying up until 3 in the morning, and doing the bare minimum to not get yelled at. My father worked at a university and paid my way, only for me to flunk out after a fucking year, which got me yelled at like a 3-year old shithead. I didn't care about my parents, I didn't care about my sister, and I didn't care about my own goddamn health; I just wanted to play video games, work with video games, live video games. Of course, flunking out of college, I was running out of options, and fuck me if I was ever going to get a REAL job at 20 with no work experience.
I joined the military and hated every second of it because I was too autistic and self-centered to bother doing a single thing to help myself or my shipmates out. Life was nothing but misery and fucking pain because I was so centered on video games that I barely even wanted to do the bare minimum. After my six year minimum, I left and struck out on my own… to go play video games 24/7.
I then spent the next year jobless and unmotivated because I was nothing but an autistic NEET shut-in who only wanted to play vidya and fap all day long, with no fucks given about my dwindling finances–until my savings dried up and my unemployment crashed out. Just by sheer luck did I find a job in the culinary industry, and I realized that it was exactly the job I could enjoy: a job where I could be creative. I learned to push myself into doing hard work, at first to survive, but then just to have fun. Now, I'm learning new things about my job every day and getting paid to be creative.
Now, after 6 years out of the service, I'm living a reasonable lifestyle with a good savings and minimal, responsible debt I fucking hate debt, don't get me started. I eat healthy, exercise, enjoy more than one hobby other than video games, and work at a job that has legitimate career prospects because it's not fucking Taco Bell or Domino's. I've come out of my anti-social shell to some degree, despite moving around numerous times in the last 12 years, and I'm not a completely cringey fuckwad that people try to avoid.
Anybody that tells you that autistic faggots can't learn to be at least semi-functional members of society is lying to you. We just need the right trigger to push us in the correct direction. Mine just happened to be the threat of homelessness and the realization that I needed to actually do something other than play video games all day to actually survive and not be a worthless waste of biomass. If I didn't, I probably would have committed suicide somewhere.

Wrong. The fact of the matter is, anyone with a real clinical diagnosis of Autism, High Functioning, Low Functioning, Asperger's et all is as good as dead. It's a degenerative disease you see: the patient loses themselves in paranoia and delusion, built up from years of being a sad sack of shit, slowly resembling a schizophrenic more and more, day by day. It's a cyclical one too, much like manic-depression, but on a more base level. It's even hereditary.

I am not sure about America, but in some parts of Europe, radio stations would "give out" games through the radio, basically you would put a blank cassette in the player, and you would push record when they told you to, after which they would transmit the game data through the radio, instead of music. Then you would put the cassette in the computer and play the game.

Comorbidity of Autism and Schizophrenia is impossible: the genes which predispose Autism can not co-occur with the genes which predispose Schizophrenia. Autism is destructive enough that it eventually and always closely resembles schizophrenia at some point though. It's that bad. Euthanasia of the Autistic and those carrying the Autistic gene would prevent such senseless suffering in two generations, tops.

I think you want to say schizoid which is more or less the schizophrenic without hearing voices in their head, so they still remain detached from human contact, extremely introvert, retreats in their imaginary world inside their head(but clearly distinguishes between what is real and what is imaginary).

You also forget that the Xbox was really where they decided to mainline in-game tutorials for every single little fucking thing. Babby's First RPG Sorry, Halo: CE was literally "Yo dawg, stand here and look at this shit so we can <i>make sure you aren't brain damaged</i>." Tons of games out there had these exact same tutorials to show you how to play the game, and tons of games still do the exact same shit. Even Dark Souls had basic button tutorials when you first started out in the Undead Asylum, all of them written into notes on the ground.

One of the things about the Wii audience is that a lot of kids had it as their first console (possibly from the Wii Sports wanting mom). A few years after getting the Wii and not having more hardcore action games with proper online and better graphics, those kids moved onto the PS3/360 with games like CoD (possibly leading to that 13 year old squeaker who plays CoD all day meme).
Another audience for the Wii was elderly folks, that would have suffered from literal die off.

I find this extremely difficult to believe, unless I rationalize it that shittons of people bought it as part of some asinine weight-loss goal but never followed through. Like all those people who have memberships to something like 24-hour fitness but never go. Thus the number of people who have it is several factors of magnitude greater than the number who ever really used it. The number of people who have an exercise bike in their house probably exceeds the number who have a CAR, and yet 99% of those are sitting unused in a closet or extra bedroom or the garage, never being used. This is the same thing.

That article seems to be describing me pretty accurately. The term definitely sounds pretty ominous, but thankfully it looks like the only real risks it seems to carry are a slight chance for schizophrenia and wasting your life away in apathy. Do you get disability bucks or anything convenient for having a diagnosis or is it mostly just them trying to get you to go to therapy? I could definitely see myself trying to get a diagnosis if it meant I got to be a neet, but it's probably better to just leave it alone if all I'll get are drugs and a therapist.

There's a thin line between the description for a personality trait and a personality disorder. According to the DSM, any disorder must have an adverse affect on your life to even qualify as a disorder and thus require treatment or therapy. If your life isn't diminished by you being Schizoid, then you technically don't have that disorder and won't get anything from it.
Basically the real-world version of "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it".
Anyway, your best bet is to tell the outside world to fuck off, embrace and cultivate your internal fantasy world, and become the next Tolkien. It's what I'm attempting to do.

Some of you. Moderate intensity cardio such as riding a bike or swimming is also the best way to preserve mental function/reaction time as you age, and should be a considered an extension to playing games.
The Effect of ModerateCardiovascular Exercise on Auditory Reaction Time
http://jass.neuro.wisc.edu/2013/01/601%20group%2010%20Paper1.pdf
>Following exercise, participants’ reaction times showed a significant decrease (N=140, paired t-test, p=0.029<0.05). Additionally, the decrease in reaction time was more evident in males rather than females. Overall, there is moderately high support that exercise decreases reaction time, and such results could have implications in athletic activities.
The Effects of Aerobic Activity on Brain Structure
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3311131/
>There is also a rich literature dating back at least 70 years from animal studies documenting the profound structural changes in the brain produced by complex or enriched environments. These structural changes include, but are not limited to, synaptic size and density, complexity and extent of dendritic arbors, size and number of glial processes, vascular density, and rate of neurogenesis (for reviews see Markham and Greenough, 2004; Pearson-Fuhrhop et al., 2009). Animal studies have also demonstrated that exercise or physical activity produces very specific changes in the brain that are distinct from those produced by learning or novel experiences (Black et al., 1990).
Exercise, cognitive function, and aging
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4587595/
>During exercise, brain blood flow increases, although it is dependent on the mode and intensity of exercise. During steady-state cycling, for example, global brain blood flow increases in parallel with cardiac output and O2 consumption, despite the fact that mean arterial pressure remains constant (26). The increases in regional brain blood flow correspond to the neural networks associated with central command and skeletal muscle afferents (37). Central command in the brain initiates parallel activation of skeletal muscle contraction and autonomic nervous system changes at the onset of exercise. Therefore, the elevation in brain blood flow at the beginning of exercise is not simply due to the increase in cardiac output but also due to changes in brain metabolism to supply increased neural activation.
