Do you ever look at all the hours you've poured into your games and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
I really, really, really like this thread. Can I save it?
>>266530319
Honestly I'm more concerned about the time I spend being picky with porn.
>>266530440
JESUS CHRIST
You just made me realize how much fucking time I waste on finding THE PERFECT PORN to fap to!
My god...I didn't even realize until now.
Sometimes I think about it but I'm successful in my career, I'm well educated, I have a significant other, and a booming social life; so why should I care that I spend my free time doing something I enjoy.
I could do something more "productive" but I prefer enjoying myself.
>>266530440
>>266530620
i do this to
I take like 2 hours to find something good to fap to
No you faggot, because I enjoyed myself. What good is living if you're not enjoying yourself and instead chasing some arbitrary idea of "doing something useful?" Useful for whom? You? Or for me?

No. I play my vidya and have a great family and friends, I don't need much else.

I've had girls in my highschool tell me they love the way I tell stories, and all I really do is exaggerate the fuck out of my videogame clutches/good matches I've had.

Shit my backlog is still enormous and I've been going at it a fucking year now. At least I'm progressing, I beat Fez, the Outlast DLC, Metal Slug X, Shantae, Crazy taxi (dropped due to shitty controls on a shit port), and some other game I can't remember this weekend.

Do you ever look at how much time you've spent on partying and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Do you ever look at how much time you've spent watching sports and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Do you ever look at how much time you've spent watching TV/Movies and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Do you ever look at how much time you've spent trying to get your dick wet and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Do you ever think about how much time you spent at church and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Can do this for fucking ever.

I read an article written by a man who did EOD work (explosive ordnance disposal) in Afghanistan during the late 1990s. After 9/11 happened, he felt that he wasted his time cleaning up all of the explosives the Soviets left behind when the United States started bombing the country all over again. He'd worked with locals to dismantle all sorts of landmines and undetonated bombs. He'd seen several of his coworkers and friends get blown apart in the process.
Ultimately, he thought that he just wasted his time and that he didn't do any lasting good.
Did he?
>>266530319
No, not really. Next thread.
It's not the time spent on video games that's the problem, it's the years I've wasted on this fucking imageboard.

>>266530319
No, but I do look over a lot the time I spent getting a degree, then establishing a business and think "Man, I did all this work to procure enough wealth that I would never have to work again so I could freely play video games" Then I lament on the irony of having spent all the time I put into one day playing vidya uninterrupted by working and not playing vidya.

I guess ill find out soon enough
Look at all the hours you've poured into your games.Why are you still so shit at them.
>>266531881
I would probably say that I did just that and then sit in awkward silence.
>>266531868
we aren't even talking about the picture
the most ironic thing here is that OP's post is the most vidya related one here
I do useful things while I am at work. Why would I worry about the shit I do in my spare time.
>>266531881
"Yeah I watched the big game, cooked my own food and donated all my money to the needy children."
Yeah. Especially thinking about how many times I replayed pokémon and Disgaea games.
However, what hurts more is thinking of how healthier and a better person I would be if I didn't waste so much time lurking in the internet looking at porn, game forums and arguing/getting angry at random shit that don't and won't make any difference in my life.
>>266531709
Except for your own?
>>266531079
I think I've consumed just about every english translated story on Sadpanda with the impregnation tag at this point.
I basically check it daily for new stuff to fap to but I usually just end up reading it waiting for it to "get gud" enough for me to think "I can't waste this one" and pull out my dick and start fapping.
>>266532045
yeah but for me if I were to say that they would think I am full of shit and lieing so I wouldnt be embarrased

If I'm receiving enjoyment from video games, that is useful to me.
No because the hours I put into gaming are hours I enjoyed. Now when it comes to posting on here on the other hand.
I have that mentality when I'm playing games other than an MMO.

You know that feeling you get when you're serving on a fireteam, watch the FNG get his legs blown off, and wonder if any of this fighting fucking matters in the end?
How do you think that guy would feel once he gets back to the United States with a head full of shellshock and winds up being an alcoholic shitstain? I'd bet he wished he still had his legs. Didn't fall for some nationalist or patriotic lie. Pursued a passion he genuinely wanted, no matter how difficult it is. Wanted to live a life where he improves the welfare of others in a way that he can control, without being told what to do.
Heh.

I could probably learned to play an instrument at a professional level.
And that's just one game.
I have a interview tomorrow for a restaurant in manhattan. Im pretty nervous I guess, but I heard they're desperate for help. Maybe I should stop playing vidya for a little while.

Every time I read threads like this, or "why am I unpopular??" bullshit blogs on this shitty board, it's filled with whiny emo bullshit that would all be solved if you'd learn how to fucking tell a story. Learn how to fucking talk to people.
I'm the biggest god damn weeaboo in town and I have plenty of friends, why? Because I know how to socialize.

You think 18 days worth of practice will put you anywhere near a professional musician? Holy fuck, you're delusional. They've been practicing their entire lives and you think you can accomplish that in 18 days?

Yes, I think of the countless hours wasted earlier in life and wonder why. Today though I don't look at my time spent playing games as waste because I'm actually really busy doing a whole list of things that are bettering my life. The hour or so I get every day to play vidya is great as it's just a hobby, not a timesink when I don't have anything else going for me.
Like anything else, video games can be a waste of life when you're stagnant.
>>266531954
>>266534680
Its actually 1000 hours of purposely practicing the things you are not good at

It's 7 inches. I spent my childhood being homeschooled by my obsessive and religious father, who had back injuries from several accidents and lived off of Social Security. My mother was also a drug addict and an alcoholic. They divorced before I was born and I had always been in my father's custody. I have no memories to speak of. I don't say anything about this stuff offline and try to do the best I can with the cards life has dealt me (What else can you do?) but I want to either die or simply not get out of bed every morning and I feel like getting sick half of the time. It could always be worse, and some of it was my fault I guess. Oh well, just wasn't too lucky this time around.
>>266530319
How much time do you spend playing videogames that you can't do other useful things? I play vidya 20-30 hours a week despite having to deal with college stuff most of the time, still manage to hit the gym 4 times a week too.Does this mean that i might benormal

one day I will appreciate all the things I've missed
Its just the circumstances like having a family and still trying to finish my education, that keep me from doing all the things i think of.
I don't want to take my aging family for granted and distance myself yet
and yet I play vidya all the time to avoid them ;_;
>>266530319
used to. i barely play games anymore. I treat it recreational activity.
>Quit MMO and never touch the game again
>get a console and time my playtime
>quit playing after an hour or so
Console help because you will rarely do anything else besides playing games. Playing games on pc will usually distract you in long run. Though the sad thing is you will not get the attachment you used to have with games anymore. You just treat it as something you do for fun not something you obsess anymore.
Checking 4chan because news delivery is very fast in here and the opinions are usually funny to read.
>>266530319
Given that existence is inherently meaningless, please define 'useful'.
>>266533043
Knowing two languages is pretty nice man.
>>266536560
I've heard for someone who speaks only english, it takes around 3000 hours to learn japanese
I don't think its worth it just to enjoy some anime and vidya that was never translated.
>>266531894
I've thought a lot about this, so instead I've taken another approach. I'll prefer jobs with lesser time demands rather than better pay or influence or whatever.
2 years since I started, results have been mixed as I'm often too still tired 50% of the days to enjoy much of my leisure time and I have to settle for the cheapest stuff. But at least I can enjoy myself on a somewhat consistent basis.

No reason to do anything else if I literally have nothing better to do than study for school.

I guess I am happy now... I dont know
I had tired-gamer syndrome for a long time before this. But this lack of gaming is really making me miss a few things. Cant even play a proper game of civ anymore, I am stuck with plopping down on tf2 or something else quick and disposable for an hour (fuck saving the game and trying to remember wtf was going on when you load it a week later)
I should have just stuck with my wizard training.
You could say the same thing about being on 4chan. What is it about this terrible website that draws people to it?
>>266536995
Better to start with something interesting and work your way to what you want than to start the perfect thing when you're too old.
>>266536995
Just get a job
It will be good for you and lead to opportunites

You're both going to want to have your own "me time" after a while. When that time comes, it's good to be open and comfortable about setting up boundaries.

I have a weird pre-fap and a main-fap thin I do.
I spend probably 30 minutes or so fapping to shit that's hot, maybe watch a few vids onxhamsterand browse R34 a bit.
Then I'll find something or remember a pic/vid/hentai game that I'll start fapping too, and that'll be what I fap too for the next 30 minutes before I finish.
It's a weird thing but hey I ain't complaining
>>266537123
dude I can sort of relate to that sudden reconnection
I was alone for so long and finally someone decided to come back into my life.
It was very weird because it made me rethink everything I was doing and I felt uncomfortable because I was doing things other people could not identify with.
Today, long after that relationship is over I can say I wish I focused more on myself instead of trying to date this girl because I am alone again.
yeah no not really.

>>266537275
>>266537125
Sometimes I wonder if I'm a pioneer, engineer, visionary wanting to create jobs for people with amazing ideas like a hospital with a gymasium and restaurant like place as a 3 in 1. Hospital food is terrible, why not have the best cooks to give patients energy feeling recharged.
Also new energy resources. I actually thought of a way, even anti gravity cars. Trains need to take us places too? I'm sick of airplanes.

>You're both going to want to have your own "me time" after a while
Not that anon, but how much time is "a while"?
I had a gf two years ago and she wanted to do stuff with me all the time, and I mean ALL of it. And she got pretty antsy when I suggested to have some time for other things after months of quasi-religious devotion, to the point I had to break with her to be able to have a life instead of a gf.
I thought it was just her being clingy, but now my even more permavirgin brother somehow got a girlfriend and he's going through the same shit.

I am not too different because I feel strongly about my ideals and helping people in the way I think they should be helped.
Truth is though you can't do anything yourself so just get involved in the world in anyway you can, you will realize its better to think smaller and save those ideas until you are in a position to come up with them.

I remember it once took 6 hours until I found something good.
But then again, that was before I had a sadpanda account and I was stuck browsingFakku
That was a bad time
I have a cist in my scrotum. No wonder I couldn't fap as well. My testes are short too.
Don't you hate it when you have the urge to poop when fapping?

I always feel the need to piss midway through. sometimes it ruins the finish, so I avoid water for an hour or two entirely before the fap
>>266538263
I don't go to college to socialize, I go to assuage the (correct) fears of my parents that I am a complete failure who will be homeless or living off NEET bucks in a few years. I hate being social, and socializing in person. Hell being anon is the only time I have ever been able to actually talk freely like this. Why can't they just understand that some people don't fucking like or care about that kind of stuff?
>>266538340
Nonsense, we'll just use the taxpayers
>>266538667
I got rid of porn folders.
Now I just keepERP logs from Second Lifeand can't get off to anything else.
>>266539323
I'm telling the NSA on you gommie.
>>266539326
If these aren't saved on folders then where are they?
>>266539217
Just force yourself through the motions
You don't have to be sociable if you are trying to study.
All people truly will ask of you is to be decent and somewhat compassionate and being so is more important than the impression you leave on people.
>>266531881
>What videogames?
WOW SOCIALIZING IS SO HARD
>>266539535
In a zip.14000 pictures
>>266531451
I'm giving it a 10% chance. The Wii U desperately needs games, but Nintendo doesn't make sense sometimes.
Do I need an erection when fapping?
>>266539562
>being so is more important than the impression you leave on people.
Not really, leaving the impression of being all of that is more important.
>>266532404
I realize this everyday.
But unless I fill my time with these goals, depression, and I mean real depression sets in.

So what, niggas. There is nothing wrong with this. At the end of the fap, it was worth it. Every time I just fap in like 10-20 minutes I feel I wasted my potential.
Many times I've thought "Maybe I spend too much time preparing for the perfect fap". But what else would I have done with that time?Play videogames?
>>266539926
It's all numbered in a proper order so it's not a clusterfuck.I recently transferred it to a new HDD, cut me some slack here
>>266539562
Well, I don't act like an asshole or ignore people or anything when I go places, but at every turn it's like these people are trying to force you into it and making it mandatory and part of the grade or your performance. I just don't get it.
>>266531982
that is the REAL question
>all that time
>still utter shit
In your own personal experience, would it best to go through college before obtaining a job or vice versa?
>>266540249
go straight to work
college is a fucking scam
>>266531982
The only way this happens is if you play it wrong.
You can learn games wrong.
>>266530319
no because I'm not a normalfag and I actually enjoy the time I put into play games.
I also know that virtually everyone wastes time doing pointless shit, because when push comes to shoveexistence is pointless beyond what you make of it.
>>266540212
Because improving takes active effort, not just fucking around.
I often picture the average /v/irgin as spacing out for hours during the rare instance of them actually playing videogames.
>>266531982
The only answer I can think of is that I was born wrong. Born with poor reflexes, born with a brain that's slow, born too stupid to play smart.
Guess I can't even escape my mediocrity in video games either.I don't know why I am alive either.
>>266540249
Depends on what you want to do, I guess. If you wanna be an engineer or a doctor of sorts, go to college.
If you just wanna make a living, go to a trade school.
I try fucking not to.
>>266530319
>implying that I don't manage my time and make sure that I only use predetermined free time when playing games
>>266539779
No, it should be natural to be a decent person, but you don't have to entertain anyone is what I mean.
>>266540203
I'm not sure what you mean.
>>266540249
If you can work and go to school its the most productive, but do what you can.
Already having a degree will be a huge help in getting jobs, so it can't hurt.
The best thing to do to get employed will be apply as much as you can.
>>266540249
As a unamerican shitworlder, my advice is to do both at the same time.
>>266540540
We're all born dumb and slow (except some crazy fuckers like John Carmack), it's up to us to exceed our humble beginnings and reach our potential, man. If a gorilla can learn sign language you can learn a skill.
Don't be a defeatist.
>>266535841
I hate to tell you this, but literally everyone you know does this.
Welcome to the world of normalfaggotry, enjoy your stay.
>implying this isn't useful
>>266534905
/v/ is really filled with this many betas now.
I still say it all started the first time /r9k/ was taken away.
but anon I was doing something useful.
I was relaxing and enjoying myself.
>>266540551
Well I guess it isn't exactly socializing, but interacting with others, having to coordinate with them, act together as a group. I just can't do that well. The instructors seem to expect that you are able to make friends and do good things in a group, and I just can't stand doing things in situations like that. guess that isn't really socializing. Sorry, I'm just an idiot, ignore me.
>>266530620
I just play monster girl quest until a loli fight or something that isn't completely bizzare comes on
I never realised how much I like lolis until now
I never expected this game to have a decent story either
it's the reason I quit tf2 and started doing kung fu.
I lost 100 pounds in a year, and beat up a drunk a foot and a half taller than me.
also that picture is from a few months before I quit completely.
I may be a manlet but I can punch all the water in your body at the same time.
>>266540446
I think one game i really improved at from start to finish was Super Monday Night Combat, that game was the best and i could play just about anyone with relative success
>>266540812
I am not sure what to tell you
I think you might be lacking confidence making you too shy to work on projects.
I've had to group projects a ton of times in school and I can't see how hard it is unless you purposely avoided the situation.
Basically force yourself to do these things, it wont be so uncomfortable as you imagined because not much can really go wrong.
>>266531245
>got a new pc 6 months ago
>have about 5000 visits here
>have about 1200 visits for rule34
ive been here since 2008 though so i guess i could approximate ive visited here around 55000 times. not sure about '34 though.
i wonder how many hours for both of them
>>266540631
I can see it anon, I can see other people's thoughts moving faster than my own, I can see that without half my effort they advance far past me, I can see that they are better than me with less work. If I can't even make progress in basic things like video games, how am I supposed to do it in life. I am not being a defeatist anon, I am being a realist.
I just went out and got a job somewhat related to what I do all day. I sit on my ass in front of two monitors logging into people's computers and fixing their software. Tada.
>>266541024
You sound like bitch over compensating
>>266541024
>I can punch all the water in your body at the same time
lol who the fuck says this
sounds like something you'd see in one of those cringe-worthy anime parodies
*smirks*
I dont think so.
*teleports behind you*
*punches all the water in your body at the same time*
heh... hit the showers kid
>>266536458
this!
>>266541062
I guess you are right, sorry for wasting your time anon.
>>266541123
Fuck off, the reason they think more efficiently, is because they have practiced thinking. Stop being meta, focus on the things that matter. If you can't do this yourself, you are just having a pity party.
>>266541024
I stopped doing martial arts
I used to spar with friends though I don't have anyone to spar with now.
I still shadowbox because it is good cardio excercise and helps you stay in control of your body
>>266541123
Who cares if people are better than you, there will always something better, but it's much more likely that it could be worse. You could be some muslim shit in the middle east getting executed right about now.
Just pick something you enjoy doing, or can even tolerate doing, get good at it, make a living. Be kind to others and happiness and fulfillment will follow.
>>266541024
If I lost a 100 lbs I'd weigh 45 pounds.
Please don't beat me up.
I have spent the last 2 weeks playing an almost dead MMO for like, 8 hours a day.
You have no idea.
>>266535445
How do I do this?
>>266541538
I only have time to waste and if i can give advice its good
one more word of advice
see what work has to be done and figure out how you can help
then discuss with the group what you can do. For me, groups would often divide up the work and you can work alone.

>>266541578

I don't think such a thing is possible anon, besides I spend all my time thinking about how to word my thoughts, and I still can't keep a coherent stream of them coming out of my mouth.
>Focus on the things that matter
Such as?
>>266541649
You are right anon, it's just hard to be objective.
I don't really enjoy anything, I mean maybe playing video games or something, but you can't really make a living off of those. Guess I will just have to settle for something that doesn't entirely make me want to kill myself and wait to die I guess. Thanks anyway anon.

Procrastitracker tells me that, over the last 3-and-a-half years, I've spent roughly 270 hours on /v/.
Honestly, I thought it would be way more.
>>266530889
>mfw people ask me this
>mfw I just tell them stories I have from modded STALKER
Games with unscripted events make for some interesting events.
Like there was this one time a dog glitched onto the bottom of a chimera as it leaped, so it looked as if the dog and the chimera had grappled onto each other in some sort of shonen anime to take down a nearby stalker. He never even stood a chance.
>>266542910
>"lol anon you're so silly what is stalker anyways"
>>266542640
You do realize IQ can be raised, right? Besides even if your logical thinking skills aren't the best thats far from being a dead end. Try new things, >>266541649 is genuinely good advice, albeit simplistic.
Try thinking of talent as a combination of both upper limit of skill and growth rate, then come to realize that at the end of the day most people aren't that special and theres only far and few genuinely talented folks out there in any given skill.
>>266530319
...
Nah....
>>266530319
you know what it has done? made it impossible for me to talk to normalfags about video games
their capacity to enjoy utter shit and buy season passes day one willy nilly baffles me
doing something that i enjoy doing is something i can consider productive
>>266543171
>You do realize IQ can be raised, right?
It can only be raised a little bit.
>>266543098
Obviously not women, you dingus.
Saying you played a game called "STALKER" would pretty much be social suicide around women.
>>266543242
fuck this is me
>fit

>spend all of my time outside of the gym on video games and 4chan

>>266543171
>You do realize IQ can be raised
As far as I am aware, it really can't. You can get better at the specific tests they give you to gauge it, but not actually increase it. That's not to say you can't have a good day and test better, or a bad day and test worse, but the base is basically fixed.
You may be right, but I am afraid I cannot believe that the entire population is equal except for a handful of outliers. There will always be stratification and I can't believe that I have the same capacity as everyone else. I'm sorry anon, I really do wish I could believe as you do that I could be as good as these others, but I cannot.
>>266543643
Being that much stronger than average is just aesthetic.
You don't really need that much strength these days.
Imagine, we evolved past having brute strength for a reason.
>>266534003
>learn how to fucking tell a story.
You need stories to tell in the first place.

It's still nice to be able to lift heavy things. Also with big muscles comes better health and such.

I've met guys that talked like that when I brought it up.
Needless to say, I didn't stay in contact with them.

Even if I wanted to escape, you'll all be a part of me.

It just takes 10,000 hours to become a master.I put over 1/10 of that into Dota 2. Imagine just being that close to being truly great. It'd make me at least sort of good at something.
>>266543643
>fuck this is me
the other part of that was getting a social life and career path
>>266531240
I'm sure normalfags want to hear about how you iced that fucker in that one match last night.

>tfw spent two years travelling across America, got a job working for a MUD, became god of the sky and had a paid trip to Vegas where you played a friendly hand of poker with a guy who was in the grand finals of jepoardy, and you STILL can't tell a fucking decent story to save your life.
I'm not that guy, and I've done some fun shit, but I honestly have to say I'm not even remotely improved as a person, or any good at passing on any wisdom that I clearly didn't pick up.
>>266538263
>Because being sociable, even if you think you're boring is better than being the awkward loner that no one knows nothing about.
If the end result is the same then it doesn't matter what you do.
Personally i'd rather keep to myself(and enjoy my time) rather than intentionally put myself in uncomfortable situations.
>>266531451
It's hilarious to me how defensive you manchildren get when someone like OP points out how banal and shit-tier vidya are as a hobby. It bothers you because it's true.
>Do you ever look at how much time you've spent on partying and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Except when "partying" you gain new experiences, make friends, grow as a person, and when you reach a certain age you realize the banality of it and start wanting to settle down.
>Do you ever look at how much time you've spent watching sports and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Spectating sports is as retarded as playing video games. The only difference being that sports promote physical activity which is good for your health, and athletes can be seen (or were seen) as role models when they weren't absolute fuck ups.
>Do you ever look at how much time you've spent watching TV/Movies and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Both those are art, anon.
>Do you ever look at how much time you've spent trying to get your dick wet and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Procreation is what you're biologically put on this earth to do, it can't be time wasted.
>Do you ever think about how much time you spent at church and think "what if I used that time doing something useful?"
Church instills socially healthy values and morality. inb4fedoratipping
>Can do this for fucking ever.
"I can keep being a retard forever"
>>266544493
"normal" people don't really want to hear about anything in particular, most are just fine with the noise of social interaction as long as it's friendly.
