How does /v/ fill the void?
>>318145759
Drugs, hanging with my small group of friends, watching movies while high, as i find I get more out of them because I'm so focused in on them.
School, work. Both are pretty unreal compared to the real world
You're going through a phase.
>>318145915
>Drugs
They don't fill the void, it just makes the void deeper
>>318145983
Then you're doing drugs wrong lad, I completely forget about pretty much everything going on in my life besides what I choose to focus on.
Go play an MMO like WoW or FF14
No media will fix things, but there are other choices, and none of them short of a crack of heroin habit will rip you off as much as a vidya habit.
Go find some cult films, books, animations, watch some YouTube; go the fuck outside and walk somewhere for no real reason. Read up on something cool even if you never do it.

Honestly, it has nothing to do with working. Video games are just not fun nowadays. They care more about diversity quotas or turning games into pretty set pieces than actually making the game fun.
>When vidya and drugs don't make you happy anymore
;_;
Play older games you never got around to, I've gone through the 1st MGS, Chrono Trigger and Zelda: OoT recently and plan to go through the rest of the MGS games and I want to go through all the Metroids eventually.

I break into angry rages out in public so I get to keep getting Adderall prescriptions. Then I load myself with so much Adderall that I become an emotionless zombie for 7 hours

Maybe stop caring about what other people play and do you own thing. You fucking faggot.
Not saying it's you, but I'm fucking tired of these faggots who need constantly active multiplayer to enjoy a videogame.
Along with all the faggots who just buy a game because it's either on sale or "everyone" is playing it.

It's worth noting that DaS didn't use to have Steam achievements.
You had to get your code and enter it into Steam to transfer the GFWL achievements over, so those numbers should probably be somewhat higher.

Maybe you should stop pirating.
>>318147443
I don't want to say what's extremely fucking obvious, but it's your fault. You don't have good taste. You wasted your money on something you thought you would expand with, and you didn't.
I spent $1956 total for my PC, screens and keyboards in total. And I haven't stopped playing games everyday when I get off work. Other than days I go out to car meets. Which is also another place where people spend a shit load of money to do nothing.
>>318145759
Play better games.
>>318147556
>buy game
>put on shelf unopened
>never touch it again
There are some many good old games worth replaying that it doesn't really matter that there's maybe 1 at most new game per year worth playing.
By the time you've cycled through them all it will be worth starting from the start again.
>>318147576
What emotion is :^) even trying to convey

Thank the tech gods for Android tablets.
Thats called depression, you probably have it.
Seek help.

Seems like every human on earth has "depression" now.
It's such a fucking meme disease
>>318148579
Thats because you dont interact with other human beings, only shitposters.
>>318146291
Just because something is popular doesn't actually mean it's not true...
Video games really are not much fun anymore. They are not primarily designed to be fun. They are just pretty visuals keep you looking long enough to try and milk more money out of you.
>>318148579
>meme disease
stop
every 5 days i get enough drunk so my hangover of not giving a fuck last till the next weekend
its problematic when i don't even know how i made it back to home
>>318148579
it's because the end times are here
We all feel it
Like animals feel a natural disaster about to happen
something big is going to happen, soon
and will kill us
all

I think spending money on video games leads to misery.
>>318145759
I don't play games like I used to, but I still find them enjoyable. But my god, they are so politicized now. The only thing I had to listen to many years ago was "video games are violent" and I found that amusing when I was younger, I actually agreed and took pride in that. I loved violence in video games and I knew it didn't matter what soccer mom cried, what don't they cry about?
But now, it's representation of PoC, representation of women, sexism ,misogyny, violence, feminism, transgenderism, social justice.. all these things are surrounding video games and being injected into them. Like, holy shit, why and how did this happen?
I can't escape real life anymore, it infiltrated my video games. Playing a game or checking news for games is like going on a college campus while not in class. What the fuck did you do to my vidya?
>>318145759
Try Undertale
>>318145759
What void?
I don't escape from real life. How would you even do that, isn't that suicide?
I play vidya because they are fun. Or sometimes because I learn from them, or feel proud for beating them, or because I want to see how badly I can go off the rails and script-break / chucklefuck / anti-walkthrough a game.
You should try getting your own place. Just a shitty cramped shack on a swamp somewhere. I moved out of my parents' house at 15 years old and I don't regret it at all.
I was even homeless for a bit, and to be honest? It wasn't all that bad. Better than living at home, definitely.
