Who else is fucking bored of video games?

ever since I got a job, gaming feels like a fucking chore. I just feel like I'm wasting my minimal free time when I could be doing something productive or (god forbid) social.

I don't play videogames; videogames are for retards.

Where do you think your autism bux come from, you fucking parasite?

Longest I never played games was for a week, I can never get bored of this shit

what games are you playing

Doom megawads, I usually focus one game at a time.

I got bored of video games,
so I got into politics and now I'm a massive cuck sjw.
Don't quit videogames.

lolwut
also OP, take a break from vidya
do something else, nothing too major if you want
maybe learn/try a new recipe or a casual read

I started playing AM2R today. I'm having fun.

I've been playing Borderlands 2 for 12+ hours per day the past few. I got it on sale and I'm a broke dude so when I get a game I get as much out of it as possible. I also play a lot of SSBM. I'm trying to get good with Peach and I can lose myself practicing my moves for endless hours. Overwatch weekend was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to FFXV & Ni-Oh. Trying to decide what cheap game to buy next month on my b-day.

Join a gaming community and create something. Start contributing to the pc gaming community.

We really need a dedicated Cred Forums clan with a ts going.
That way we can encourage each other to play cool new games and have fun.

ssbm on wiiu?

Yes, porn games are the only reasonable answer. None of that horseshit CG tho, pixelsex only. If I wanted still images, I would go to ehentai.

And that came from where?

I still play vidya but my attention has turned to tabletop RPGs recently. They offer what I look for in vidya since nowadays, modern video games are too boring to deal with.

me its gotten to the point i simply collect games for the "ive got that" factor be it physical or digital games if i see somthing i like the look of i buy it but then tend to stick to the same 3-4 games i enjoy.

it why i avoid mobas and other games that sell skins as a means of revenue because i would simply buy it even if it was a character i dont like for the sake of having it

bored of life tbqfh

Found it dummy steamcommunity.com/groups/Cred Forums-

Kloah's art really has become something incredible over the years.

I'm bored of you /r9k/ posters invading here.

>waahh muh life sucks
>vidya games do nothin for me anymore

kys

This

Bought Legion and had basically no interest in playing it once I finished levelling to 110. Last game I truly enjoyed was DX:MD about a month ago.

don't you know american history?

>LE CAPITALISM IS BAD XD
>BUT IMMA STILL BUY A BUNCH OF VIDEO GAMES AND SERVICES THAT LET ME PLAY SAID GAMES

I'm glad Bernie lost

this tttt (to tell the truth)

>can't justify wasting my time unless I've invested money in something

this is the stupidest mental crutch ever and if I were you I'd question whether or not I truly liked games to begin with

You're just jealous you dumb SHIT

Then you should go back to pleddit faggot

I've grown so tired of VNs, which sucks because I used to love them.
>Spirit of Justice comes out
>Beat the first case
>Just can't be fucked with the rest

Video games have been 99% ass since the PS2/Gamecube era. Maybe once a year I'll enjoy one AAA game and one indie game, and I'll try a bunch of others and never have fun.

I play a shit ton of Hearthstone but I don't enjoy it, I'm just addicted.

>Last enjoyed a video game in 2007

Why am I here

i sure she's looking down with a smile on her face
"im glad my life savings has gone toward enabling my fat degenerate manchild of a grandson to continue sitting alone playing videogames in a room that reeks of semen while his mother cries herself to sleep asking what she did wrong"

guys if i get a gf will i enjoy life again

also how do i get a gf

Literally played an hour of Just Cause 3, got bored and haven't played it since.

You're here forever

>IMMA STILL BUY
uh

Worst feeling is when you decide to replay one of your favourite games of all time but get bored and quit.

No idea how you people can come home after doing shit you don't want to do all day and not just want to unwind and play some vidya.

That's funny considering your favorite meme frog is there.

I think you should take your own advice and take mine which is killing yourself.

how do you look down from non existence after the host dies?

Nah they're pretty fun
Sucks to be you

edgy 16-year-old detected

Nah. GCN.. I wish I had a wiiu for certain games though.

Yeah.

Been playing since I was 5 or 6. Now I'm turning 24, and I've come to the realization that every video game today has the same play style, same shit predictable story, or is just too simple.

I've noticed the same thing for movies. It's just the same regurgitated shit over and over again.

Basically I've found new hobbies to play around with. Such as making a company in real life, and trying to build it up to the point where it expands and grows.
In a way it's like a video game, but the high score is the money, and the success is the bonus multiplier.

>What are you using to pirate games
>How is your computer able to pirate said games

Yes, idiot. You're buying things in order to pirate games

Just play tabletop games if you want a cerebral experience, Cred Forums

BEING A WAGE KEK IS KILLING ME

I know that feel. I've lost interest in games since I before I high school which was like 5 or so years ago.
I also think piracy had something to do with it. I still keep up with games but I just can't bring myself to play. When I do i can't keep myself playing.
Figured maybe I outgrew it but idk. I still have fun playing with others though(locally).

meeeeeeeeee xD
le epic tired gamer xD

OP I agree with this. I'm bored of vidya too, but I don't go telling everyone about it constantly (Except this time, obviously). Maybe you should try /r9k/? You'll at least be able to circlejerk with people like yourself.
Or maybe go back to some games you loved as a kid? Or, if you're younger, go play games from before your time?

Consumerism =/= capatalism.

haha nice one :)
checkmate athiests :p

WHY ARE YOU HERE ?

if being bored of videogames was a bannable offense, Cred Forums would be a lot better

yeah man like how is your body able to function and shit you've got to be buying food from somewhere right

Pictured above: Autism

>Pirating games destroyed your love for vidya

Nope. Unless you're a complete pushover and oblivious to the dumb shit she does.

Honestly, she will most likely control your emotions so that she has something over you. She will want constant attention and if you aren't there, she will look elsewhere.

Some people luck out though but that vast majority of times, it isn't worth it. Sex is not that great and what is expected of you to get it is not worth it at all.

Yep. Sucks that I'm a dev and have no other workable skills.

U don't have to pirate dumbass

Me. I only want to play DS,DaS, and DaS2.

Sadly this is true in a lot of cases BUT I highly suggest getting a fuck buddy. Get to fuck and chill. It's like having a gf but without having a gf...

no it fucking wouldn't
it would be a ultra boring, dry as fuck place filled with faggots patting each other on the ass like everywhere else

really just fuck off if you are so sensitive that you can't handle some dour text on the internet for fuck's sake

>its like having a gf except she fucks other men and gives you aids

WORSE... I find myself re-playing a small group of old classics that i enjoy rather than starting something new. I do try nee things but i seem to return back to the classic resident evils (and 4) a lot, or playing the mgs games, basically stuff i am comfortable in playing because i already know it. At least they are good i guess.

Other than that i think i blew out on gaming so much in my spare time, now im too busy lifting and jiu-jitsu...
Gains... But at wot cost...

Fuck off degenerate normie

I wish I had feel images to post. I feel you man.
6tbs of pirated games....nothing to play
I hoard and hoard thinking that one day I'll muster up the courage to load a game up and beat it. I know the chances of that happening are low but I still believe. Maybe that's why I continue to download.

>borderlands 2
Off to Reddit you go

nah. I've been playing games for two decades now, turned 26 this year. I still have fun finding new hings to play and get excited about upcoming releases.

>hurr i'm 16 years old and do not want to work
>wage slaves LOL
>Capitalism and consumerism is bad! Posted from my iPhone.

I'm legit bored of life. When you realize you'll never be happy all you want is for it to be over.

>not wearing rubbers
Fine fuck you, I don't even play vidya anyway

>wagecucks mad ITT

did you have a ps3/360 or any modern consoles like ps4 or wiiu?

Sex is just like video games

Fun to think about, fun to chase/buy/get, boring to actually do after the first few hours/days.

Tv music movies and games they're all just boring. I borrowed my PS4 to my cousin 3 months ago and i dont miss it at all.
i think i'm the problem.
book is the only satisfying form of entertainment for me nowadays.

You're a leech on society

>wearing rubbers

do you kiss too?

I was, but then I got Nier and it's pretty fun. Battlerite is cool too.

i'm so sorry that everything is fucked

do you know who isn't?

the people who fucked it

because they got theirs

I know the writing can be annoyingly gay but the core game allows for a fun time. You just have to stomach all of the tumblr shit & cringe humor. I just let it piss me off. For $24 the collection is a lot of content.

Then why the fuck are you here on the video games board?

Not him, but you can be coherent about those two statements. The missing third comment is "and I hate myself, fuck this". If you have it bad, you buy things like videogames because the system tells you to, makes you feel worthless and needy in all kinds of ways. Of course, buying things never solves existential problems so you will carry on feeling bad and buying more things, never solving the problem. It's a bit like

>Heroin is bad
>But I'm going to keep on taking and buying heroin because now I can't stop
>I fucking hate addiction

Instead read

>Consuming crap experiences like vidya is bad
>But I keep on buying vidya, watching TV, buying brand clothes, cars etc
>Fuck capitalism

>being bored of videogames in a year as good as this one

>I don't even play vidya

>however I go into vidya forums to bitch about them and people who do!

Why do you think the confederacy lost?

Ya'll fags are just depressed

>But I keep on buying
uh

I am

and now I want to stop but what else am I going to do

I honestly feel sorry for people who only play AAA games and don't even own handhelds or consoles or both. Gaming must fucking suck so hard for you. I wouldn't wish strictly indies and multiplats on my worst enemy.

I really don't get it, for someone who claims to hate reddit, you guys seems to know an awful lot about what kind of shit they have there

>we can cure aids now guise!

no you cant you retarded faggot the treatments are just better but its still probably expensive and inconvenient as shit

a-user? I'll have you know this is serious c-competition!!

And yet here you are. So much more productive & fulfilling for you on the intellectual wasteland that is Cred Forums.

Too much incest?
Aw, who am I kidding, there is no such thing.
Changing my answer to Florida.

I had both a 360 and PS3, didn't really like either of them. A few of the indie games from the PS Store were okay.

I don't own a current gen since it seems all acclaimed console games are just sequels, reboots and rehashes. I don't give a shit how good MGS5 or Witcher 3 or Dark Souls 3 are, I've played those games before. Same old shit.

I have a sizable Steam account but rarely find something I truly enjoy. Even though it was a remake DOOM was a breath of fresh air.

This desu. I started enjoying vidya a lot more when I went idort and started taking risks on indie games a few years ago.

Pic related, most of the games I've enjoyed so far this year are non-AAA or aren't available on PC - and I'm pretty sure my GotY will be Gravity Rush 2, a PS4 exclusive.

>bored of games from 2010-2016
>only play older games and some i never got the chance to play
>starting to do something better with my time
>like learning a new language
>going to get a job as infantry

games are sucking ass right now, and am growing out of them.

what are you niggers gonna do with your life when you stop playing games?

I can never get bored of Football Manager la

Piracy is even more convenient, and free

Maybe when you grow up and learn basic personal finance skills, you'll have some money to do fun things that you can't pirate

I just picked up a 3DS and been having fun again

Spent many years working my life away & being miserable. Have been getting them autism bux for about 5 years now. Live alone, play vidya, go to the gym, fuck cute twinks I meet on Grindr, go to sleep & wake up whenever I want. It's pretty fucking awesome, tbqh.

certainly not get my legs blown off in Iraq but to each his own

I'm already earning six figures a year in a stable job and loving games just as much as ever.

Enjoy risking your life for shitpay in the military and being a jaded fuck though.

I know that feel.

Up until two years ago, I was still buying games, but hardly playing them. I was amassing a collection of unopened games, and it just felt like it was way too much trouble to start any of them.

A few times I managed to start a brand new game, load it up, played for 10 minutes, and then got bored or felt it wasn't worth the effort.

I've devolved into playing shitty mobile phone games with gambling gachas like Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle where I feel compelled to drop 50 bucks so I can have a chance at pulling the newest super rare card that is must-have, until the next event comes around and newer rarer and better cards are now available.

That and 40 bucks a week on 3.5 liters of vodka to mix with 2 cans of monster every night until I pass out and then wake up hungover to go back to work at a job I fucking hate.

s-source?

You can post here from work...

You can't play vidya at work and still pretend to your bosses that you're working

Not very smart are you

this was my problem too i had endless supply of games but i can't start any of it i just keep on playing few games like original doom street fighter 3s. i just couldn't get into anyother games but for few days i stopped coming to Cred Forums and stopped using internet. than games really became fun and in just a little time i completed 3 single player games, valhalla, mirror edge and ultimate spiderman. but unfortunately i am back to my old self

What kind of autism bux do you get? I'm about to tap out, I can't stand the daily grind anymore. SSI alone doesn't seem like it would go very far.

>Soul being destroyed a little more every day

How do I survive being a wageslave?

>vodka and monster every night until you pass out

Do you want to die of a heart attack?

>The government pays me for doing nothing.
>Mfw

>like learning a new language

Oh goodie, it's these meme again

The only language useful is English, or Jap if you're into vidya

What, are you going to spend hundreds of hours learning another language so you can chat to random losers you meet on your rare vacations?

The writing doesn't bother me that much, as I don't care much for memes. The drop rates and broken slag mechanic is what irritates me though.

I get SSDI. My diagnosis is major depression.

I don't necessarily agree with the tier system but that's a pretty nice spread.

how?

The issue is that they just suck I mean tell me one game with an original plot or good world-building
now games are the same level up system, craft shit, empty open world, coockie-cutter story-line

find other hobbies then come back to it

Yippy skippy.

You're a fucking faggot, dude.

welfare states

I think my body has gotten used to it. Been doing it for about a year and a half now.

I fill a 9 oz plastic cup to the top with vodka, and take a can of monster with me. Can usually fill 3 full 9 oz cups this way (1 part vodka, 2 parts monster per cup).

Can usually down a full 6 drinks (2 monsters + 18 oz of vodka) in a night, which is just enough to get me to fall asleep, and be up and ready in the morning going to work with only about ~4 hours of sleep.

I can only play autism games like heavily modded Minecraft (Infitech 2 is the shit), Factorio, and Zachtronic shit now

I have no interest in shooting, jumping, stabbing or casting spells or any of that shit

I want to set up automated storage, logistics, industrial processing systems and then sit back and watch my autism at work (automatically)

RIP user

Gravity Rush 2 honestly looks fantastic. I hope you got around to playing the demo

so i can interpret and have banter with people who dont speak english

>vacations
>waste of money and time

mackenzie dern, a serious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor at black belt level.
She has just transitioned her fighting skills into the MMA world... Jits is top tier martial arts but, MMA is the true testing ground, i sure hope they dont punch her face too hard ;_;

In order to banter, you need to be seriously good at the language. There are a lot of social and cultural cues that facilitate banter, which is why Americans get super butthurt about banter, because they have no culture

Vacations are a waste of time and money though, but that's not the point I was making.

Not him but I learned French and Italian so I could read a lot of the classics in their original tongue and watch some obscure but decent films. They also helped me find my current career as a translator.

Learning Russian right now as well for the same reason. It's really fulfilling feeling.

why is life so meaningless anons

Took me a while to do so but yeah I tried it out and adored it.

I think my only complaint was that Kat's hair flapping looks kinda weird at 30fps instead of 60fps like the remaster, and that it felt strange going back to being level one (essentially) after fucking around so much with max upgrades in the first.

how about you give it meaning

because everything goes back into the box
your whole life is monopoly

Is the grammar destroying you?

It's not Georgian-tier difficult, but it's darn close.

Because the purpose of life since it's early stages has been to mate and multiply.

I can see how slag gets annoying but the drop rates are fine, imo. I like treasure hunting games though. Even if I have to kill the same boss 30x to get one item, I'm enjoying it because I take the time to either zone out and let time pass around me, or think about different ways to improve my character, try to kill the things as efficiently as possible or just faster, better, or in a more enjoyable way than the last time. Also, when you finally see the item, it feels nice. Like playing a slot machine or something.

Let me tell you why you're tired of games.
Games since ancient times have been a form of play meant to prepare young people for adulthood.
Same as videogames even tho they prepare you for nothing, they grant you the same fulfillment you'd get from hide and seek.
But you don't really play hide and seek as an adult, because your time has come to do actual work rather than play.
I still play games, but I don't do it to fill the void that demands I improve, because my job is creative and challenging enough fullfil that. I play games to experience interesting worlds and engage with interesting characters.
The same reason I read books and manga.
I'm saying you should become a casual like me.

It's pretty difficult, yeah. Certainly harder to wrap my head around than French or Italian grammar.

Still, it's an enjoyable challenge at this point. Makes me feel satisfied when I notice during my studies that I've managed to progress further.

Just because you enjoy the works of entertainment produced within a corrupt regime doesn't mean you support that regime.

Some people learn Elvish, just for the fun of it.

that's why I'm going to buy a console

make friends that will force you to play games with them

Because you lack purpose, community, and an identity.

So does the rest of your generation, don't worry. The world has been ruined. We are in an unsustainable situation and collapse will happen in our lifetime.

Those people are called Autists.

That's fine. Just don't claim it's more productive than playing vidya or wanking off to cartoons.

>If I could just interject for a moment here. Elvish is a collection of languages incorporating languages such as Sindarin and Quenya. Saying Elvish is a language, is like saying Romance is a language.

You're on Cred Forums.

You are correct, of course. I should have been more specific.

Bretty gud taste, user.

>Overwatch
>good taste

To you "just get a job" fags, here's a fun statistic:

22% of working age young men (21-30) did not work at all in 2015.
That's roughly 1 in every 5 people.
(archive.is/Ev0Fn)

When investigated upon what these people were doing, it was found that they were largely living in their parents houses, spending most of their time playing video games.

This is the new normal. There aren't enough jobs for everyone. If you have one, especially a well paying one, you should feel lucky.

>read all the good books
>played all the good games
>music is subjective
>everything feels the same
Honestly what does life have at this point.

Sex and alcohol.

>There aren't enough jobs for everyone
Yes there is.

>read all the good books

No you haven't.

>played all the good games

No you haven't.

>music is subjective

Not sure how this is relevant to anything

I'm fucking bored of life. I have no motivation to do anything.

Even porn is starting to bore me.

Youth unemployment exists because of enablers - aka parents, not the economy
.
I could quit my job and have another in a week because I picked a real degree.

>tfw I've made a successful thread on Cred Forums

If that's your goal in life...

Sex is boring as shit

Alcohol is fun but it slowly kills you, I drank heavily for 6 years straight and had a great time but I can't do it anymore or I'll die. And no, moderation isn't the answer.

I hit boredom some time this summer when I had a lot of time off (ex-teacher here). Recently, I started working in EMS. I work 12 hours a day and I have to work with terrible people, so I appreciate my time off way more. That's all its really about, man.

If you get bored, just step away for a bit and do something else, like read or watch movie. Better yet, just walk somewhere. Give or a few days and you'll love video games again.

what about sex with a girl you really like

and cuddling and holding her breasts and stuff

doesn't that feel really good

free porn and 99 cent burritos are enough to sustain anyone.
am a neet for the previous 5 years. due to medical problems it will likely stay that way unfortunately :/

>If parents just kicked them out then they'd all be forced to go out and get jobs. Clearly this is a parenting issue
no, that's not how this works
parents 'enable' their adult children this way because the other option is they go mooch off a different family member or become homeless

Oh I guess the 10 million unemployed young males just need to pull up their bootstraps then. There's no issue, I was wrong

but for what purpose do we multiply

I've been NEET for 12 years, and there are still thousands and thousands of good games I haven't played, and even more books I haven't read

You just don't know about them

to evolve

Kind of OP but I´m in kind of a dire situation and I´ve already played a lot of video games, now I just want to get a not-so-annoying job and learn to play an instrument, like a classic guitar or a viola.

deep

should i do it Cred Forums?

will it make me feel something inside

I feel video games move changed from being a want to a need. I still play them, but it's like scratching an itch. There's no excitement.

I have 6k spend in Steam and I have not touched a single game in 3 months

It's fun

Playing games used to be a fun pastime. Now it's an escape from reality, and now I want to escape from escaping.

There is no purpose to anything. Purpose is a fabrication of the mind; it's an illusion. You don't ask why a dog wags its tail, and in that same way, you don't ask why humans do what humans do.

but for what purpose do we then evolve

>You don't ask why a dog wags its tail
Yes I do, fuck you. I want to know.

games are all the same shit anyways and especially today when they're all glib facsimiles of each other
yeah, xbox one and ps4 killed gaming and Cred Forums

Some enjoy their jobs like me, but I still play vidya on my free time

no one knows

it wasn't any different the ps3/360 generation

>tfw me on the left until frame 3
>tfw my friends girlfriend broke up with him and now he's worse off than me
I wish I could help him tho, dude's depressed as fuck atm

I come home and cry myself to sleep because who in their right mind will date me with my shitty job

>what are you niggers gonna do with your life when you stop playing games?
I picked up playing a percussion instrument, started doing improv, gonna join a choir pretty soon

also I became a psychotherapist I guess

the 360 and western publishers dominating for 7 years, is what truly killed gaming

Talking about the purpose of life is like talking about purpose of gravity.

The purpose of gravity isn't making things fall. It most likely doesn't have any purpose at all.
Life works like it does because organisms that did not breed did not survive, not because there is a magical purpose in life.

Purpose requires intelligence. Most of life doesn't even understand that fucking something of opposite sex is what causes breeding, they just follow the instinct to fuck.

To experience the good things that came out of evolving with other evolved humans?

>There is no purpose to anything.
nihilism
you're here presumably because two people of opposing gender once loved each other enough to live and copulate together until you came into existence, and then loved each other enough presumably to raise your dumb ass

they met because they're part of a community that fosters this type of social, human development of mutual nurturing and love, and because their country supported this endeavor financially

they decided to do this because it's one of the things that gives people happiness

>and cuddling and holding her breasts and stuff
cuddlings is better than sex imo

Bring him a game to play, like the old days, blast through a co-op experience whilst shooting the shit, maybe with a beer or two

Fuck off weebo

I mean it's nice but it's equally as nice as taking a good shit, or eating a huge burrito, or whacking it to furry porn. All of those things are easier to start and stop.

>they decided to do this because it's one of the things that gives people happiness
Not because that's true (it isn't), but because they have been told it's true.

Smoking, overeating, breeding and murder all eventually bring more pain than pleasure and anyone who does them has an issue with long term planning.
Well maybe except murder - this can sometimes improve situation in the long term.

Do you have a job in management?

I dunno, whacking it to furry porn is really good sometimes, but I have an inkling that sex with a real girl would somehow be better. It's hard to top, yes.

Are you one of those people who thinks and plans everything he does very carefully, considering every little movement you make?

That might be why you sound so miserable. Eventually you overthink things to point you ask yourself why you're doing them, and then you think it isn't worth doing because you've already 'thought it out' in your head.

I'm tired of every game except for SSBM and pokemon. Well, I suppose I've been slogging through MGSV over the past few weeks but it's slow progress cause I work 5/7 days of the week, and dedicate those other two to doing things I don't have time to do in the work week.

>Bring him a game to play
he lives 700km away

we usually game online with voice chat, but after the breakup he's just been marathoning tv shows

video games suck now. go /vr/, go indie like factorio, or start reading books, learn music, etc

>tfw the son grows out of video games before you

Do it for him.

>glib facsimiles

>Are you one of those people who thinks and plans everything he does very carefully, considering every little movement you make?
No, I just look around instead of pretending that nothing is happening around me.

I see all those "happy marriages" being all joyous about the children they raised. Even better when they are too traditional to divorce and instead just shit-talk each other all day.

It's like they thought that popping out a kid will fix their lives. They probably did think that, after all the brainwashing.

Youd be surprised how many people I see wondering how could a girl want to live with that, so keep your hopes up

what do you do?

lame ass braindead hyperbolic miserable embarassing intellectually challenged lame ass try hard contrarian baby boy zilch

Cossacks 3 is out guys, a comfy RTS like AoE2.

Why don't you figure out the nature of life in ya free time?

BE a super weirdo autist guy.

I was but then I started playing primarily japanese games.
Worked a charm.

Not him and I kind of see what you mean, I´ll do it too but for different reasons because it´d be interesting to do so, not for "happiness"

I'm in a production line injecting nuclear waste into seeds for Rizobacter

Those people probably always wanted to have kids. You make it sound like they wanted kids in the same way they wanted to buy a new car. It isn't advertised, it's just something natural that many people want.
I doubt for many people it's something they believe will 'fix' their lives, as a child is work and hardship - just like a relationship.

You don't get the good times without the bad, after all.

I don't want to tell you how to live your life but I'm sure you have things you want, too. Why not pursue them?

Make me, nerd

what about the stars

u never felt the real life make you feel small and apart of something realer than real.

I like how books can leave impressions on you and change your way of thinking about the world in ways that video games can't, or at least I've never experienced with vidya.

I read Flowers for Algernon a little while back and it teaches interesting lessons about the cruelty of humans, the nature of intelligence, relationships, whether ignorance really is bliss. I haven't really come across as substantive a story in vidya.

Also read Masters of Doom when I was back university - aside from being great fun to read, it was a cool as fuck story about how Carmack and Romero started id software by borrowing Apple computers from their school overnight to program a mario clone for computer, which they unsuccessfully tried to sell to Nintendo. The book inspired me to enrol in Computer Science to be more like Carmack and I'm still a programmer to this day.

Any other anons read anything interesting recently?

seems better than flipping burgers, how much do you do?

>this whole brainwashed post
don't forget to vote

man fuck old people amirite xD

>trying to make people feel guilty about not working

why? all that money just goes straight back into the economy through supermarkets, paying rent, power, etc. The only person who loses out is the NEET because they don't have as much money to spend on fun shit.

I'm really liking P5 but the battery is trash on my phone and I feel the need to consult it too many times to progress .

I'm a few months in. I swear it would be my GOTY if it were localized.

I fucking hate Atlus.

>Those people probably always wanted to have kids.
Born with the drive to breed? No, that comes long time after that, when you are told over and over that the goal in life is forcing as many people as possible to exist, without making sure they want any of that shit.

>I don't want to tell you how to live your life but I'm sure you have things you want, too. Why not pursue them?
Because they are illegal, unachievable (with current technology) or both.

Is that you, Tj?

I honestly feel like I haven't missed anything except some indie retroclones this year. It just gives me more to binge should I ever go back, but responsibility might not allow that to happen for a while.

Source of the gif? Where is it from?

Maybe not technicaly bored but I can't enjoy long singleplayer games like witcher3/mgs5. Bought them , played few hours and never finished.

They are just too long, I preffer short game sessions like KF2, LoL with friends.

me

That is literally me down to the graphics tablet I use to drawn my own loli hentai.

I keep desperately coming on Cred Forums randomly hoping there is discussion of a hidden gem game I missed :/

>>>/reddit/

>play single player game
>lose once
>stop playing
It didn't used to be like this

Sometimes I wonder if shutting myself away and playing video games all the time was worth it. And by that I mean I know that it wasn't. I also know that if i went back in time and told myself to stop i wouldn't listen so who the fuck cares I guess.

>inb4 the whole time you enjoyed wasting quote

Anything is fun if you're good at it
You need to find a difficult game and git gud at it OP

was tired for a long long while, but Deadly Premonition inspired me to play

then I happened on Brigador, I'm good for now

Pls leave

every single job advertised will get around a hundred applicants, and the job will still end up going to a friend of an employee who already has 5+ years experience working in the industry
the retirement age has gone from 55 to 70
most traineeships are only interested in highschoolers, and the sectors that don't offer traineeships have zerodesire and zero reason to hire someone they'd need to train when there's generations worth of people who were trained decades ago
I've been actively trying to get hired for two years now and have yet to get a single job offer

language dictates your thoughts. it's much easier to think about something if you have a name for it, and english does not have a name for everything

Not him, but when I bought good pc and ps3 last year, I played lots of games on them and emulated even more, because I only had snes, genesis and ps1 and didn't have all games I wanted to play. And gues what, I didn't like most of the console games and those overhyped console exclusives. Some games were great, of course, but I mean looking at the big picture I liked old pc games more. Or maybe they are great only to people who didn't play lots of games and are easy to impress I don't know.

This has troubled me for a while, and I've finally pinpointed down what it is for me. The problem is padding content. Way easier to get involved in a game where the same scenario's never repeat themselves and everything feels well put together. This basically excludes a great amount of AAA games, and most RPG games. I used to love RPG's when I was younger, and virtually any "big" game with huge expected playtimes, multiple endings, and things like that, because I was really young and it was easy to just get lost in a game before you really understand what games are.

I still have the same time I used to have, even more being out of school now, but it makes me want to play the huge hyped up releases like Witcher 3 or MGSV even less.

>Infantry
>not picking something that will give you skills for when you get reintergrate with society
Did you pick infantry or did you barely pass your ASVAB?

That's also true and one of the reasons I dropped jrpgs. While sometimes the worlds they create are great, the gameplay and stories behind them are mostly the same.

Nice """argument"""
Lazy faggot

>going to get a job as infantry
>going to

going to apply for it soon and have to do the BARB test, im not american

But if nothing matters then why do you care if it's illegal?
Did you not go do illegal shit when you were a teenager?

my brother. bored and tired of everything.

...

Good post, this.

Gears 4 and Battlefield in 3 weeks. Finally I won't be bored and finally good games are coming out

not me, currently trying to defeat solo borderlands presequel final boss

>can barely power through games I love to play
>NieR, one of my favorite games of last gen is getting a sequel finally
>can't even get excited for it

I had started to, but I just got my first gaming PC (late I know) and I'm really enjoying gaming again.

It's because you all have had the same hobby since you were little. If you're in your 20s, you've been gaming for almost 15+ years, that's a pretty long time. Go pursue new hobbies and interests that you've always wanted to try. Try something different. If you enjoy reading, buy a book about a hobby you want to try. Go talk to a friend that you've fallen out of touch with, or a family member. Go do something different ffs, your brain is just tired of monotony. It happens to everyone, but you need not despair.

Otherwise, if you're feeling down, try getting more exercise and eating healthier, ie, more fruit, vegetables, lean meats, etc, less junk food. Watch YouTube to learn how to make basic, healthy recipes and to find a simple workout routine.

...

>tfw you get excited for new games but end up not playing them because your backlog is too big

>18-21 year old who thinks he has it all figured out

I'm NEET and went through a similar phase, you'll realise how fucking dumb you are eventually. Some things can only be learned by getting older.

It's completely fucking true, though. As you get older, you just get forced to accept it, and you try to focus on the good parts and tell yourself you're happier this way, because no one wants to admit that they're wasting away their life for no good reason. Bonus points if you feel better about yourself by reaffirming that you're better than those NEET scum.

I have a friend who thinks like this. He's still a neet inside and angry at entire world. It's just a mindset, when growing up, people leran to find happiness in small things.

So exactly what I said: Convincing yourself that the tiny bits of happiness you can find in a lifestyle that's centered around making money for others rather than making yourself happy makes it all worth it.

You're not convincing anyone faggot. Are you relly 18?

Of course I'm not convincing someone who depends on me being wrong to maintain the delusion that he's alright with where he is in life.

I'm not bored of games but ever since sony won gaming I'm bored of gaming forums.
Seriously, there is nothing to shitpost about anymore. PS3 vs 360 era was the shit.
Now what, am I supposed to give a shit about the morons that beg for Vanquish or RDR ?

Deep.

i keep hoarding games at every sale i install them launch to see if they work then i quit them and never play again

someone help me

i wanna enjoy videogames again like when i was a kid

you've reached the point of no return user.

it's too late.

>buy gaming pc
>go back to the usual WoW, mobashit, Hearthstone, csgo

Bored again

>i keep hoarding games at every sale

hope they are physical console games because hoarding steam games is not even real hoarding, it's in your head. literally mental.

Cut the pseud act, mate. Nobody is telling you how to live your life and nobody is trying to trick themselves into thinking they have a good life (we're all on Cred Forums for fuck's sake, maybe 1 in 1000 people here are genuinely happy). I even said in my original post that I'm NEET myself, I have very little to delude myself over. If you want to avoid getting a job or whatever else then fine, I don't have a personal stake and don't particularly care whether or not you're leeching off workers, I was just commenting on how young adults in particular are prone to their confirmation bias fooling them into thinking they're enlightened. I'm not deriding you for it, most people are the same. But you may come to a point where you wake up one day and "I may have been wrong" crosses your mind.

This is the only other post of mine btw, the other guy you're replying to is someone else.

>tfw you bought a 1000$ shitposting machine

>love video games
>love sports
>tear my acl first year of college in soccer

>normie who just plays vidya but bored of vidya

time to find a waifu before I start balding. I got so bored I started watching anime again, the last time I saw it was middle school.

I liked the slag until UVHM made it mandatory for your character. I only ever switch out two weapons as I always need a slag gun and a Norfleet equipped.

It's not a very effective point, though, since your opinions changing over time doesn't necessarily mean you're more right than you were before, particularly when you're incentivized to change your opinions in the way I described. You're accusing me of thinking of myself as enlightened, but you do the exact same thing yourself, justified solely by the idea that you've had more years of life experience to base your conclusion on (which isn't necessarily true, unless you're past your late 20s).

Hey, that frog is racist, could you please not post it next time? Thanks!

Me, I've not bought a new game in a few years now though, I mostly just play Fallout NV or a few other old games I've still got. No new games interest me for some reason, like I'm sure I'd enjoy bloodborne but I really just don't care enough to buy it.

For some reason i have a hard time enjoying games on Pc.

>commercial game genres start thinning out in favour of first-person-shooters or strategy games or open-world RPGs or cinematic experiences, the kind of genres I was never really a fan of

>people have been given small doses of bullshit to overcome and as the bullshit escalates over the years, so does their apathy towards (or outright defending of) it

In short games became more homogeneous, more restrictive, more expensive and less enticing.

I don't really have any qualms in saying everything I've posted may be wrong. I guess I mostly have a problem with the reductive approach people have to argument on this site (e.g. ). You may wonder "that's how people communicate here, fuck off if you don't like it" and I'm hopeful I eventually will, but I just feel as though as much as this place attracts introspective and self-aware people, a lot of them sure don't seem to want to try and exercise those traits.

I'm talking about something else now though, I suppose. I'm not articulate enough to convey what my prior argument means and even if I could, this discussion will likely go around in circles of "you're assuming this" anyway. It's not even relevant to the thread, that original post was probably just someone taking the piss.

Do what you want, man. As long as you aren't hurting anybody.

Not me. I'm having the time of my life.

>artificial happiness

I think that guy was just baiting/shitposting anyway, posting something that looks like he got off facebook and just adding "lol". Free (You)s.

Even though I agree with the idea that image expresses, that we recognize those logos so easily because their brands were built up by people whose main concern for us is whether we're buying their products, I can totally accept that the picture comes off as something some faggy teenage anarchist shares on Facebook to show how cool and counter-culture he is.

Except when you grow up and get a decent job your interest in gaming declines too.

Been working on getting through med school , mostly dropped vidya to stare at textbooks i get little nudges to get back to modded fallout new vegas but nothing outside the first 2 hours of breaking it

Why PC users buy or pirate games and don't play

>having fun playing a game
>friend joins me
>quickly outclasses me at the game
>wants to play it constantly
>suddenly the game is no longer fun because you'll always be the second place even at your best

Does anyone else know this feel?
Do I need to git gud or is my friend to blame?

you made me realize something user

Come watch this autistic user play video games then hitbox.tv/drrichard

I had a good job, in college, workout, and play games on my spare time. My interest in game is not dying one bit

I think I can see the loss in here.

what else are you supposed to do?
life is meaningless mang
it just sounds that you finally gave in and settled because you're a quitter

>got bored of video games.
>downloaded the golden classics from your childhood and teenage years.
>including ROMs and emulators
>install all that shit.
>play
>video games no longer bawring

stop being shit at video games you fucking faggot

>i sure she's looking down with a smile on her face
she's not looking anywhere because she's dead
but he could honour her memory, sure

What if we're bored because we're not the target audience anymore?

Find a new hobby.

BEING A NEET IS KILLING ME

Games dont vary much and it gets annoying doing the same stuff over and over again

How is a 300 reply shitposting festivus related to hating video games still up?

>There aren't enough jobs for everyone. If you have one, especially a well paying one, you should feel lucky.

This.

Fuck off ass whole

What?

my brother has hiv, and the goverment gives all the meds he needs.
at least that's how it works in my country

welfare runs out though, what are you going to do then?

you need the normie perk first
and it's a perk you can miss, you only get a chance per playthrough, and it's in your childhood.

>bro just stop
You can't just stop after years of bad habits, and no discipline.

This.
I remember when I was an edgy 16-18 year old, I am 23 now and I don't want to blow my brains out everyday so that's definitely a step in the right direction.

Guys i am really really bored and tired right now, i just moved to a new city to study and i have no friends at all.

Every single person is going out and i feel bad for staying at home, but i need to study.

Can you guys discord with me while i study? please be my friend for tonight.

>settled because you're a quitter
I supposed it would seem like quitting to the person who isn't even playing.

containment thread.
this is necessary.

not me. i've been playing dark souls 3 all night and into the morning and im still not tired. i was playing dragon quest 7 nonstop for the past few days. i get like that once in a while, but it was mostly back then when i was more depressed. but i like video games, and that will never stop.

Got a tad bored of vidya too these days, only play for 10-15 minutes before quitting.
Guess it's time for a few days off.

Difficult thing is to find something different to do but the new jojo anime looks interesting.

nah, you're a quitter and too proud to admit that because you gotta have a reason to justify all the years of wageslaving and hardwork
i get it

That's expensive, call me poorfag

not even Cred Forums wants to be my friend.

>tfw no gf to teach the way of vidya and watch her get better each day
Would be awesome to teach a girl play dark souls.

Quick, recommend a fun game pre-1999
I'm cutting myself off from modern gaming for a while and going full /vr/ mode

This generation of games really sucks. I still enjoy going back to play older games though

Mystic quest on game boy
Baldur's Gate

>tfw no gf to discover dank progressive rock from the 70s while playing vidya with

but your life is centered around emptiness. a total lack of purpose and a vain struggle to fill the void. if you really considered workers so beneath you, you wouldn't argue with them at length on a hungarian knife-sharpening forum in an attempt to reaffirm your hollow life choices. and in case you're about to call me a wageslave, i dont even have a job

Blood
Fallout 1 and 2
Might and Magic 6, use the grayface patch.
Master of Magic.

I don't think I've had fun with a game since 2002.

Why is playing vidya so much easier than everything else? I can't bring myself to do anything but double clicking on a game is almost mechanical

strange journey
super metroid
doom

I don't see them as beneath me. I just feel bad for the majority of them who aren't lucky enough to spend most of their time doing something they find genuinely fulfilling. And I'll be most likely joining them soon, because realizing the system is bullshit doesn't necessarily free you from having to participate in it.

You can do shit in vidya you can't in real life, all while accomplishing cool tasks.

Graduated Uni a month or so ago and trying to force myself to go solo travelling abroad to get out of my comfort zone, but I'm being a little bitch about it at the minute. I don't want to get into a job before doing at least SOME travelling, because I really only want a job to become a means to an end instead of the definition of my life.

Gotta book a hotel somewhere for a few weeks to get comfortable with the idea of being in a foreign location, then hopefully I can transition that into a more extended backpacking trip with less structure to it.

Ideal lifestyle would be working a year or two, and then taking a year or so out to do some extended travelling, rinse and repeat.

I'm starting to get this feeling too

I get like three times as much enjoyment calling a game shit and laughing at how garbage they are on Cred Forums than I do actually playing good games..

I just recently finished backpacking around new Zealand and Australia. I was gone for about 5 months and blew about $6,000. Probably the best thing I've done in my life. Book hostels, not hotels

(They)

>stop browsing Cred Forums
>stop spending all your free time on your pc/console
>get another hobby you enjoy and mix and match with video games
>only play when you have the desire to play

it's really that simple

Even trips in the US are pretty cheap

Used to do solo trips out west to Canyonlands and Grand Canyon for less than $1000 for a whole week. One night in a hotel and the rest sleeping in my car at populated truck stops if I got tired while driving and campgrounds.

Want to do one again soon but currently don't have a car that can do the miles right now

I know I'd enjoy it, and I know I'd probably be fine doing it, I've just gotta push myself to do it. Currently just reading up a shitload on the location, travel tips, etc, and the more I learn the more I find myself willing to go.

I'm coming from a background of severe social anxiety which I've been making major progress on for the last few years (you wouldn't even notice if you talked to me now), so this feels like the last big test for me.

The waiting game ;)

Every remake is way worse than its predecessors.
Simcity series used to be good till Simcity 5
Anno series used to be good till Anno 2070
Sims used to be good until Sims 4
Rollercoaster tycoon used to be good until RCT World
CoD used to be good until Modern Warfare shit
Fallout used to be good until Fallout 4

and so on

None of the new games have the same complexity and gameplay value of the old generation, they are build for people who need hand-holding through the simplest shit.

i'll go through phases of wanting to play and not wanting to play, right now i bought bf4 and doom so i'm having fun but it'll eventually fade

>wage slave
>lol why can't I just magically get shit for free

Christ, you could delete all of civilization and you would still have to go out the next day and work to gather resources, hunt etc

>MW1 not as good or better than CoD2

lmao neck yourself

That would mean having friends to play with.
