No wonder everyone complains about being poor or having a backlog.
>>
>>332669403
I don't know how else to spend my time.

This is all I know in life
>>
>>332670073
Anyone who says they don't have a backlog is a liar. I've been playing vidya my whole life and there's still good games I missed on consoles I owned and plenty of games on consoles I didn't own when they were current.
>>
>>332670273
Some people should just stick to 1-3 games a month. Only rich people with no jobs get to play every game they want.

Tell me about it.
>>
>>332670273
Yeah, I don't understand how people ever run out of games to play. There have been more good games released over the last couple of decades than anyone could possibly play in a lifetime.
>>
>>332670442
Well yeah, but that doesn't mean you should completely forget any games that you didn't happen to play right when they come out.

Shit at the very least going back and playing some older games lets you bring some variety in if you're getting bored of more current stuff. People that sit around waiting for or bitching about exclusives as though they've played everything else worth playing fucking baffle me.
>>
if you think newer titles feel lije chore then play older titles like on snes psp gba genesis

the only time i felt like i am doing a chore while playing vidya was when i was playing WoW but that feeling end when i reached level 11

try not to play vidya half heartedly or just to fit in
>>
>>332669558
this. find some constructive hobbies and take a break. they will become fun again after you come back after a while.

Tired gamer isn't a meme.

Prior to recently, I played games just for the sake of finishing it so I can buy more games. For the past week, I decided to say "fuck it" and just enjoy the moment when playing games instead of treating it like a chore where I have to finish everything as fast as possible. That helps alot.

Glad I am not the only one.

Nigga emulation for everything besides current gen and PS3, Xbox, 360, Dreamcast is fine for 99% of their libraries, and you'd have to do something astoundingly stupid to corrupt a goddamn emulated save file.

A fucking toaster can run everything up to the PSP.

Play something else then nigga. I just beat Super Metroid for the first time last night, shit was fun. I got 84% completion without even autistically combing every corner of the map.

>>332676458
Hell most emulators make a separate save file for each game even if the system being emulated normally uses memory cards. And if you're that paranoid you can make an endless amount of virtual memory cards and virtual backups.
>>
>>332676562
I'll get to it anon.
Just hard as fuck to start over when you have played the games several times a bit and you lost your progress every time during so long.
>>
>>332670273
Considering Most games now a days are 50+ hour open world games I think 1 maybe 2 games a month is more realistic.
>>
>>332677157
Or you could play better games than copy pasted open world schlock
