I don't really play video games all that much anymore. I picked up Fallout New Vegas because I remembered I liked it, and dropped it after reaching about level 20. Other than that, I'll play Ninja Gaiden 2004 once every couple of months.

I wouldn't say life's improved, but I do have more free time. I spend that free time sleeping or watching movies anyway, but there's still more of it.

yes

no

I rarely play anymore, more of a collector. I buy games I am 100% positive I wont play just because I enjoy it. I have been into 360 and N64 games lately.

I quit videogames too much years ago to evalute if they affected my life positively.
I still come here to shitposts tho

I quit for about 12 months between 2006-07 to try the whole social life thing

Spent that time making new friends, catching up with old ones, going out, seeing family. etc.

I found out I really prefer to spend my free time playing videogames

I've become a filthy casual. I only play a few games a year.

Had to stop playing for the past 3 months or so because military training. I'm allowed to have vidya now so I ordered a ps4 and it gets here next week

good taste senpai

You into guns, OP?

i quit for 9 months
getting back on was amazing
> like jerking off

I didn't play at all for a long time when I had my first girlfriend. Also some time after that. That was 10 years ago.

Today I don't play much videogames. I read and I study all the time, then I go dates with my girlfriend. I watch some Let's Plays and anime, but some times I actually play for an hour or two. The Game that is getting most attention these days is Super Mario Maker, mostly checking on how my levels are doing.

I want to have a real game weekend soon, but so hard with GF and study taking all time.
And I also wanna write on my book.
Fuck, so fucking much to do.

yea, I became a normie now

Got a girlfriend that goes to a university and she was home for the summer, so from May-mid August of this year, I played like 20 hours of video games collectively I'd say. If that.

I missed it greatly and I've put 20 hours into Witcher 3 this week.

No, I just get bored more quickly.

I did for a while. I just found something else to waste my time on instead of doing something productive.

Ironically I started watch a lot of Umaru when I started to have less time for vidya. It's like fucking porn.

I want that life

Shoulda waited for the NX.

Or just wait till you get sent to another country to fight for the jews, either way would of been better then spending the dosh ona pee ess 4

wtf i hate videogames now?

The last time I went a long time without video games was spring break. Didn't really affect me at all, just ended up watching Netflix more on my phone and reading books

BIRD UP!

My life being shit is the exact reason I indulge in excessive escapism in the first place, so of course quitting video games hasn't done me any good.

I stopped Cred Forums for a full year. Not even meming, it made my life considerably better. I had more time to play video games, I actually enjoyed video games a lot more, I was able to become a more social person without becoming a full on normie, All I really missed were some memes that I quickly picked up on. Other than that this place hasn't changed a bit. Console war shit may have gotten slightly worse, but other than that this place never changes. And that's what drove me so insane about it

First time i stayed away for about 3 years. From 20-23.
It did affect my life in a positive way. If it wasnt for that i would of never gotten laid. Had some good jobs an some bad ones.

Fell back into gaming and i slowly started going back to my anti social ways. Still getting laid every so often.

I stopped playing for a few months recently to see if i could get back to socializing but fuck me, it feels like my social anxiety is there for good now.

Yup, story of my life.

the only game I've actively played in months is WoW and lets face it it's more like an addiction and a time waster because I'm a miserable pathetic neet there were times I'd get into like stalker, fallout 1 and be enamored and feel like refreshed but after you've been a loser as long as me theres really nothing left

I nolifed to level 110 in WoW and was so disgusted at myself for returning to the game after Warlord of Draenor that I've not played any video games since and think I'll be taking an extended break now

Oh is this the hourly blog thread?


I just took a fat smelly shit in the toilet, it smelled so nasty. Video games are for stupid nerds I hate them!!t
