The I've ever felt while playing a game was when I realized I was close to finishing Hanako's route in Katawa Shoujo, I don't know why but I just cared so much for her, I cried for an hour after finishing it and I felt empty for weeks, I can barely handle the main menu's music.

Uh, I suffer from the exact same problem.
It's gotten to the point that I'll barely play anything that doesn't have achievements, and when I play anything that does it's as stressful as you just said.

Right now I'm working on Fallout New Vegas, and I still gotta do a run on Hardcore mode, and worst of all, win 30 games of Caravan.

I would call myself a pretty big LoTR fan and while I agree that the Hobbit films are garbage I don't understand crying at the end of LoTR. Sure it's an epic journey but you can watch it in a day and it only took a few years for all of them to release.

I literally stopped watching anime because I couldn't deal with the feefees of any of that shit. I get too attached to characters. The first opening song for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood makes me feel sad because the anime has so much sad stuff in it.

I've wanted to take antidepressants but I always constantly doubt whether or not I'm depressed, lazy, or anything. But anyway, don't antidepressants make you feel less energetic? I've heard all these side effects.

you're depressed m8

I used to be the same a few months back. Would lie in bed all day, felt so shit that I was constantly tired and all I wanted to do was sleep. Problem was that sleep didn't give me rest, I even came to a point that I dreaded sleeping but I didn't have the energy to get up and do anything else. So really just stayed in bed all day long doing nothing except feeling completely miserable

Shit, it was like eleven years ago I finished it. I remember because I finished it right before the end of my physics class. My teacher was an old dude who liked playing music during class, so as I walked out after finishing the book, "Amazing Grace" was playing. Then I went and got lunch and I swear the girl in front of me got 19 cents back in change. I sat down and there were some rose petals near me even though I couldn't tell you where the nearest rose bush at my high school was.

And I'm still butt-bothered eleven years later that the final door didn't say The Gunslinger.

I'm not depressed unfortunately, so they won't do anything for me. There's just something wrong with me inside. I just don't belong here. It's as if I am a donor organ being rejected by a host body. I can feel it like the beat of a heart, ebbing and flowing and chipping little pieces off my soul every day. All I can really do is pray before I go to sleep that I won't wake up again. Maybe one of these times God will answer.

That's probably the most common thing that depressed people always say/feel.
I've felt EXACTLY the same way. Don't wanna push a diagnostic over you, but you should consider that it's just a frame of mind being perpetuated by fucked-up brain chemistry. Changing one or the other without working on both fronts is usually quite a bit hard.

When I finished Mass Effect 3 I was just glad it was over. Then my contempt turned into confusion as I start noticing a similarity between all endings, as I just figured "Well shit, I must've done something wrong really bad at some point".
Then confusion turned into anger.
Anger turned into eternal hatred.


Fuck you, BioWare.

Not vidya, but I watched 4 seasons of Community in a couple of days when only that many where out. I felt so depressed after watching it all. Then I felt huge joy after season 5 got confirmed and then season 6.

Season 6 ending was not what I wanted, but had some closure.

Play crusader king 2.

Its filled with people you need to deal with, where usually map painting simulators really only have enemy factions as being any sort of distinct personality aside from your nation.

I thought it was okay. 50% of it is a boring shitslog, but some of it is surprisingly well-written

and it should only take you a couple days to get all the good endings anyway

Man... fuck.. why did you have to bring that shit up. I'm currently balls deep in The Name of the Wind, purely just to forget about the loss of my old friends in DT series...
I always wished that the crimson king was portrayed differently, when he was literally some batshit crazy old man hurling his shi- i mean throwing bombs it was hardly a fitting way to portray the big bad the whole series sets him up to be. Hell, Mordred was way more intimidating then the CK.

I did certainly feel the emptiness when finishing Digimon World. Just that instant cold "now what" feeling.

Man, I can't imagine having such shitty genes. I mean.. Fuck, this is probably the closest you'll come to being a furry without actually fucking animals. It's just so sad.
