Games that made your social life dissapear.

That one.
Real life
>>321239996
I miss those really loud clunking noises from the old Battle.net
>>321240202
Ohhh, I found a picture of the old interface. Such memories.
I don't need vidya for that,
>>321240202
I miss a bnet that actually works. To this day it takes 50 fucking years to load maps to show you on Bnet 2.0 and half of the time I cant start a game.
>>321239996
Especially when I started 9 years ago
I can honestly say that WoW irreversibly fucked my life up.
I don't think WarCraft 3 made my social life disappear. I had no social life before it and ended up actually talking to other people because of it.
>>321240345
Why did you post this, why are you trying to hurt me
>>321240345
this is comfy as fuck

Why did it take my life and then commit suicide.
Why couldn't we live happily forever after.
My social life ended on
>17 november, 2011
>>321239996
i miss brood war.
i used to literally run to my home so i could squeze that extra game out, i was never very good, being 10 years old and all, all i did was lurker drops and Defiler-Lurker play.
god that game was so fun, and what made it funner was not knowing the high level metagame. i'll never forget that feeling of first discovering those sweet interactions between my units
>>321241203
Oh hey Sam
I stopped showering and stunk like literal shit in 8th grade.
I have an addiction problem. I've pretty much been addicted to anything from MMOs to hard drugs.
Shorty after WoW came out I straight up "disappeared" from the face of the earth for almost a year, having no social contact to the outside world. Only after I have become disillusioned and frustrated with the game I quit and slowly began rebuild social contacts.
Now I'm hooked again with FFXIV.
>>321241497
At least FFXIV has cute cat girls.
What was the longest you went without showering? Hand to God.
2 and a half weeks here.The itching became unbearable after a while.
>>321241698
like 3 days
past that i can't bear my own stink
>>321241698
Week and a half maybe. It's the underwear stink that gets to me.
>>321239996
is it because it takes years upon years of practice to even be okay at that game?
>>321241915
>i can't bear my own stink
Don't know why but I like feeling dirty.
https://youtu.be/gZrS5VOsc50?t=43
can't say I've ever had a social life to lose track of
>>321241698
5 months. But I'm bed ridden due to health reasons...
Though I've betterish now, so, maybe every 2 weeks now.
It sucks ass.
>>321241698
7 months. its not so bad, I have dry skin so it doesnt get oily
had some dark spots and skin discolorations but got rid of them with repeated showering, exfoilation and proper creaming
>>321242087
Don't see the problem here, just don't wear any underwear for the remaining time.
>>321239996
billy herrington
I ate very poorly during these days
>>321242313
>7 months
Jesus fucking Christ.
I didn't even knew that was possible from a medical point of view.
Fuck.
>>321242313
Dude, I went 5 months and I literally can't walk without my leg muscles tearing open... How the fuck? I can't stand how I feel and smell after 3 fucking days, let alone 7 months.
I dunno if I should be disgusted or impressed.
I feel a lot better in either regard, thanks. You realise I'm not so sick.
>>321242309
>>321242313
Fug.
I start feeling weird not showering after like, two days. The fuck is wrong with you niggas.

>>321241698
3 weeks and i literally felt/looked/smelt the same as before
I never really get dirty and I change my clothes pretty much every day and wash my face and hands almost obsessively, and I keep my hair cut very short
Went about a month and I seriously don't think anyone even noticed. I have the type of friends that tell you if you stink, too.
>>321242598
Dude, if don't have any appointments or social calls just roll with it, being filthy feels kind of liberating.

Why did blizzard go from being the greatest fucking game company ever to being worse than EA?
How did this fucking happen

>>321241698
I don't post often Anon, but just for you.
Months. I don't know. More than 6, but probably less than 12 since you oughta freshen up before christmas or new year or whatever when you get to see your *lovely* family again.
If you're a skinny, non-labour working faggot it really is rather ignorable, and if you ever smoked weed like me your smell is fucked enough not to sense your own stench.
The hair does get oily and itchy after a while. You know when you're reaching "the line of nasty fucker" when the tips of your hair falling from the forehead are so dirty, that when they touch your forehead and spread like a dozen spots on it every now and then just to fuck with you and remind you you're dirty depressed motherfucker who has bailed on everything and everyone in his life, and finds some leftover comfort - no - distraction from his pain in video games.
And watching stupid people do stupid shit online.
>>321242187
>>321242978
Maybe you're a pervert like me and just like the smell of man sweat. I'll go a while without showering just so I can smell my own ball sweat all day.
>>321242598
I told you, I have medical problems. Form of brain damage and my leg muscles tear open when I walk, so getting up to go to the shower/bath is agnony. I survive on diamorphine and neuropathic painkillers.
>>321243219
>freshen up
for some reason this was pretty funny to read
>If you're a skinny, non-labour working faggot it really is rather ignorable
Well thats true, being skinny really helps in keeping the smell to a minimum, thank god. especially with clean clothes everyday
>>321241698
Around two weeks, but that was when i was much, much younger. Now between the blasted tropical heat of the Caribbean heat and dandruff i can't go more then three days without taking a shower (going to the beach is also acceptable).
>>321243515
>Caribbean
ayy me bombaclot mon
Yeah the beach is pretty good. When I was in aruba I just dove into the crystal clear water and didn't took a shower for the rest of the day
>>321243443
As long as it gave you a smile, Anon.
I think 3 months and during the summer. Just got the computer to myself. No friends or girls to talk to, fuck real life.
no regrets.
but now if i dont like every other day I cant function
>>321243069
>he doesn't know blizzard and ea are literally the same company at this point

God damn nostalgia trip
>>321243219
>or whatever when you get to see your *lovely* family again.
I've never really said this before but now I get a chance too. God do I hate seeing my family for holidays and everything. Going to see them and having to put on a facade of normal faggotry just so I'm bearable in front of them makes me anxious. I love my family but I'd rather just not see them
>>321241698
about two months when i was 17. my parents were going through a huge divorce so they dropped me off at my grandmothers where i just stopped caring. just stopped sharing and would just piss on the living room rug and shit in the kitchen trash can
>>321243069
>publicly traded video game company
>honor / appease stock holders
>by making video games
Gee, I wonder.
>>321243715
>ea
You mean Activision, right?
>>321243649
That's crazy to me. Even during my savage neet years of absolutely nothing and drinking 5-6-7 days a week and wallowing in my own filth I still felt the need to take a shower every other week. If for no other reason than to try and scald myself with hot water.
>>321241497
You sound fun
this game, to my defense i was playing with an 'okay' inhouse group though
>>321243797
>stopped sharing and would just piss on the living room rug and shit in the kitchen trash can
literally how
Like I'm pretty damn sure it's harder to shit in a trash can than a toilet bowl?
>>321244136

theres no need to defense. this is a judge-free zone.

I really can be, with the right substances. Most crazy and fun stories I've had were under influence.
You only need a good buddy, some good shit and time on your hands.
>>321243783
Yeah Anon. It sucks. Now I live in UK, so the whole "family group" has gotten smaller, so it's more bearable. But yeah, it is a bit of a charade.
When I was a kiddo pole back in my homecountry, I thought I hated christmas just because it was too many people at once. Cus I was a cripplingly shy dude.
Now I know it's just the terror of the facade at the start, the elevation of arguments mid-way through, and the conidence - and i mean - confidence of what's going to happen. Your uncle will be half drunk in the corner on a chair taking a nap, your mom will pull out every shit your dad did in the last 15 years, your dad will either explode (bad choice) or fucking leave (no good choices here), and everything will spiral into it's own version of madness. And then as an adult I can add to it my two slightly younger sisters, either weeping drunkedly, gossiping, or laughing. Each of which heartwrenching in its own way.
"Civilized people" is the phrase i keep repeating to myself throughout life, half-jokingly. So I feel you Anon.

>judge-free zone.
i played for 2000 hours in 1.5 years, even if no one judging its still rather emberassing
>>321244421

how much of that is ship spinning?
>>321244458
huh. I only have 1259 hours in it, then again I had also other games I wanted to play
>having a social life in the first place
FUCKING NORMIES
>>321244534
I don't live in a station
So not a lot, because it's not fun without a counter
>>321244714
>>321244717
very good then.
>>321243986
I dont even remember doing it. Just kinda woke up like fuck i havent showered in 3 months. and my yearbook i was apparently much fatter and i dont remember it either and ive always been skinny.
>>321244421
I'm glad WarCraft 3 was around before everything started keeping track of how many hours you played. It would not be surprised to see it sitting close to 10k hours.
>>321244458
that must've been a zen like experience just rolling from one game to another to another, same map, same characters, same names. I'm guessing something like that becomes a blur after a while.
>>321245004
>blur
>>321245004
>confusing a zen-like state to mind-numbing boredom and crippling disinterest
I mean yeah, sure. Let's go with your version.
it honestly was starcraft and warcraft III, add in the facti barely register on the autism scaleand my social life was never meant to be
school? whats that
>>321239996
No fuck you this was one of the few games I could actually talk about in public without sounding like a huge nerd. Also those LAN parties.
>>321246385
>going to LAN parties
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>321241698
4 days. My skin gets insanely oily if I go 3 days without cleaning myself and that's in the winter sitting in my room playing vidya all day. Never even mind when it's warmer or when I have to leave my hourse.
>>321246596

just opened it up and playing it right now
Played the shit out of this and avoided parties just so I could play more. 8-player games with the AI were intense as fuck.

>>321244421
I wanna get in on EVE but I am leary >.>
>>321248498
Too much effort. I've been in the same boat after playing a few weeks here and there. Go talk to the dudes in the EVE Online thread on /vg/. It doesn't seem like it's worth it unless you're ready to fully commit.
>>321248887
I tried the free trial thing and i liked what I saw but...there wasnt much direction, I was super confused as to how to get into anything..so I mined..and couldnt really get into any of the lowsec areas....
>>321249036
Again, talk to the /vg/ people and tell them that. If you want to continue on for real they will guide you. Just know what you're getting into.
Otherwise if you want an MMO you can get into Blade & Soul with the rest of 4chan next month.
>>321248003what's dat
having to commute made my social life disappear
Haha, like I have one.
>>321249524
just a turret defence game i found that had some people in it. We played CRASH before that which is like an rpg Pretty fun but im pretty sure impossible with only three people.
this doesnt include dayz
