You are right, it is indeed hard work.
I tried meditation for myself quite a few times but I can't get to the point where I'm fully with myself most of the time. But I have grown from what little I had of those successful meditation sessions.

I highly recommend you seek a professional opinion on this if it's interfering with your life.

That's not King of the Hill (I haven't watched Rick and Morty yet but KotH is great).
KoTH is my favorite cartoon ever, but that doesn't make Rick & Morty any less awesome. Such a great show.

That's actually really interesting. So if one dude rapes another, the rapee is seen as gay but the rapist isn't? It's basically like a country wide prison mentality?
Rock on!
I was working out a thread title (needed to see if the one I had in mind would fit the character limit) for a thread that I'm making in a few days and accidentally hit 'submit' instead of 'preview'.

my fav animated series ever would be between classic Simpsons or classic South Park. some of these are re-watchable until the end of time. Futurama and Aqua Teen Hunger Force are pretty awesome too. Like most of Adult Swim's output actually.
my fav cartoon would have to be Regular Show. I also just started watching Gravity Falls, and it's a really cool one too. I feel like nothing can ever touch the "90s Cartoon Network" era though.
I'm gonna give Rock & Morty a chance!

So I've been watching Firefly. Seen 13 of the 14 episodes. Does the final episode or the movie explain why Inara won't just let herself be with Mal even though the two clearly have feelings for each other? Her profession alone doesn't seem to be the reason.
This is killing me.
Reverse Game of Thrones.
You should definitely try it. It's like Doctor Who made by crazy animators and writer.
Well, just Animators because Moffat's stories are really crazy stuff sometimes...
Where?

Reverse Game of Thrones.
what I meant to say was... everything airing on Adult Swim.
Will watch that then! I'll give you some feedback afterwards!
Hmmm I think it's from Rick & Morty, since he was talking about it right before that!

Next season should be out by March.
And Yes everyone should watch it. It's so good. And it's created by the same dude on Community. And the guy that does Rick and Morty's VO is that lemonhead guy on Adventure Time.

Did you guys ever watch the Teen Titans cartoon back when it was on? I loved it, it's my favorite cartoon. I still hate how it ended on a cliff hanger.

Although it wasn't ever my favourite, I recognise that it's one of few cartoons that has literally nothing wrong with it in the slightest at all. It's pretty darn perfect.
Teen Titans Go! is much, MUCH better than it looks. It warrents a watch at the very least, if you liked the original show.

Yeah, the OG 2003 Teen Titans cartoon was fantastic. It's too bad it was cancelled before we got to learn anything about that new Terra arc; CN has a horrible track record with great action cartoons. They're especially annoying when it comes to screwing over Genndy Tartakovsky's creations.
Btw
I hope my "trans* vs trans" post was helpful to RatskyWatsky and anybody else who doesn't know about the umbrella term.

I heard about Teen Titans Go, but I was turned off by the style and the fact that it was a comedy cartoon.

If I had to score it, 8/10. It helps that the show IS genuinely funny, has some awesome references to the old show and the rest of the DC universe, the original voice actors (I think), and is certainly an enjoyable show to just simply watch. Characters aren't as complex as they were, but they're still great, and the comedic situations they get into in relation to their powers are great. You also get used to the style, which is remarkably well animated. My only gripes with it is that, well, we didn't get more of the original series instead! But if you view it as a lighthearted spin off, it's bloody great.

Yeah Teen Titans Go! is quite good.
So when I went to NY to go and see my dad and my brother, there was only one thing that they said repeatedly that bothered me. I still watch cartoons and obviously play video games on a regular basis and they kept saying that I suggesting to me that I needed to grow out of watching children's cartoons. I don't get itm they have their own damn hobbies that isn't all that productive. I don't see why I should be singled out for it. What do you guys think about it? How should I be responding? I still love them both but it still bothered me.

There's like half-a-dozen games I have the urge to replay but I have to get through Digital Devil Saga 2 and fight Satan first.
Oh god I'm going to have to play for a minimum of 3 days straight.
Tell them to go back to the mounds of literature and political treatises they're no doubt reading in their spare time.

Hmmm... I do need my Teen Titans fix, even if the new Teen Titans comic just started. I'll keep it in mind, thanks for the recommendation!
My Mom and Dad say that to me all the time, they always ask "When you're 30 years old, are you still going to be playing video games?" and I honestly just say "Yeah."
I think you should just ignore it, everyone has different hobbies. I'm sure your brother and your father have hobbies that seem silly too it's just that lots of people associate video games with little kids.

I did i loved it as a kid its the cartoon that really got me into superheros and comics.
Some people like hunting.
Some people like riding horse.
Some people like horror movies.
Some people like softcore porn novels.
Some people like cartoons.
The only thing is, they see that those are animated show, so they automatically think those things are exclusively made for kids. It's a misconception hard to shake off for most people.
They might be right, most of these shows are first and foremost intended for kids or teenagers, but some of them are actually more clever than that. I think there's a big difference between watching Teletubbies or Dora The Explorer and cartoons airing on Cartoon Network.

Regardless of whether it's right or wrong for them to make the comment, my belief is that they are saying this not to single you out, but in fear that it will render you somewhat isolated from your peers, either because these hobbies may be perceived as primarily being occupied by a different demographic, or because they are uncommon interests (again, I'm commenting from what I think their perspective to be, not what I necessarily feel about them), while also being particularly time consuming hobbies which may have a negative influence upon you by developing some form of obsession or by being too narrow in its focus with both being indoors and not being commonly regarded as group activities. I don't believe they're trying to be destructive, or single you out, but feel they are trying to help you (even though you don't need it). To respond I would emphasise that you have developed many close friends through your hobbies and that they provide an opportunity for bonding through group participation, emphasise that you have a wide-variety of interesets including physical activities and that you wish to maintain a balance so that you can relate to a wide variety of different people, and that you engage in them in moderation. It's possible to try and introduce your hobbies to them, albeit slowly and tactfully, but depending upon the severity of the comments (I don't know how beligerent they are though) they may have formed prejudices and may be irrationally unwilling to alter their perception of individuals who engage in these activities.
EDIT: As for what I feel, enjoy your hobbies. Don't let them completely consume you obviously, but that's true for any hobby that anybody possesses. So long as you derive enjoyment in them, and it doesn't have a negative effect, enjoy them all you what. In saying that, if somebody has a hobby which is destructive to them, while I would dissuade them from continuing, I still feel it's there choice to engage in it provided they wish to (this is key), If this is the case for you (again, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't know you well enough to be able to say), by all means continue enjoying them (and you do seem to enjoy your hobbies).

Just finished Pikmin 3, it felt like a really short game even if it took me about 60 days (in game). I know there is probably plenty of stuff to do, it'll probably be one of the few games I've come back to after beating it.
It's a very relaxing game, just exploring and building your pikmin army.
Can't complain since it was my MK8 free game anyway.

Pikmin 3 game time flies by, then you see your actual hours played and are left in shock, and you haven't even started the missions.
If you didn't repeat any day and skip all cutscenes your time should be in 13 hours more or less, that is not short at all.
Amazing game, it makes you crave for fruits in real life, they look so freaking good in that game!

Yeah, Pikmin 3 is really fantastic.
EAD managed to combine the best aspects from both the first and second installments to create a whole new interesting hybrid formula that was very satisfying (and not some kind of weird half-serving thing)
Those guys at EAD4 are really talented.

It blows my mind that we got Mario music that sounds like this:

Like holy shit, that sounds like a Zelda boss theme.
