Ever feel like vidya is just a distraction from the more meaningful things in life you're afraid to pursue?
what are hobbies
fucking duh
Everything is a distraction.
After you pass on your genes, the only thing to look forward to is death.
>>334832356
yes
Not really. Pretty much all the meaning there is to my life at the moment, and I'm pretty content with it.
Why is this show so fucking comfy.
And vidya (especially MMO's) helped me get through a couple rough patches in my life, so I give it a pass.
>>334832356
And what are those meaningful things?
Not really, I can't just forget about life just because I'm playing vidya. How can something so menial distract you?
>>334832356
Yes, but I'm not afraid to pursue the more meaningful things in life.
I'm just too lazy to do anything other than play vidya.
>>334832356
>Ever feel like vidya is just a distraction from the more meaningful things in life you're afraid to pursue?
yes, killing myself
No, but 4chan is. My life literally improves when i stop browsing this place. When i visit a lot, i get lazier, my social anxiety gets worse, i start making jokes with people that dont make sense, i cant get any work done. Ban me, mods.
Nah 4chan is.
>>334833172
just post al(1)ce in the name field. obviously you spell it correctly. I'm not sure it works anymore though. I permabanned myself this way about 5 years ago because I wanted to quit the site. have since moved...new IP, etc.
Sometimes I think about selling my all my games, or at least most of them. I've been burned before by regret over selling, so it's a hard decision.
Was she right /v/?
>>334832356
Eh besides a good job so I can pay healthcare all I have and want are hobbies and a good time with friends and family.

>>334832356
Yes I do, as it prevents me from watching anime. I've been trying to get a good balance going though, I plan to beat MGS4 and Valkyria Chronicles by the end of the week, then marathon Galaxy Angel and if I have the time over the weekend, Record of Lodoss War. Gonna be a pretty busy week.
>>334838080
Maybe she's got Simo on her side.
>implying my life has meaning
>>334832356
I play vidya to forget that I'm alive
>>334832965
It's quite a beautiful world we live in. There's a lot to experience outside of the concrete walls of one's abode before one bites the dust. Hard to decide where to start though.
>>334832356
Games steal me from studies. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

Maybe that's my problem. I can find interesting things in basically anything.
Either that or depression.

Hello Anon.

>Ever feel like vidya is just a distraction from the more meaningful things in life you're afraid to pursue?
Have you nerds thought about doing something else every now and then?
I work, grind my anki deck everyday and go lift every 2 days and still have time to play video games.
It feels way better if you have one physical hobby that makes you leave your basement on a regular basis.
>tfw I even started having fun learning Japanese
Get on my level losers.
oh and I'm going to cosplay for the first time this year too
>Actually believing there are things more meaningful than vidya
Holy fuck, I guess the normies really have won huh?
>>334839909
But if I allocate time for things outside then it's that many vidya I will never get to experience.
>>334840860
Have fun being a Normie, Normie.
>>334839909
>It's quite a beautiful world we live in
Yeah, but it'd be better without humans, though. Now, that's a meaningful thing, most possibly the only meaningful thing. Say, do you think there's a way to achieve such thing, and is there a way for me to contribute?
>>334840991
>>334841492
>Holy fuck, I guess the normies really have won huh?
I would rather be associated with normalfags than with "gamers" or "nerds" nowadays.
Why? Cause everyone would think you are one of these le epic meme 9gag fags, faggy redditors or other wanna be trash.
The real neckbeard elitist hardcore gamers I used to play with years ago died out.
>>334832356
Yea but it's not like I am afraid of pursuing these things I just don't want too

Yes but also yes

>I would rather be associated with normalfags than with "gamers" or "nerds" nowadays.
Good thing this thread isn't about association.
Unless you only do things in regards to what other people will think of you, in which case you are a shallow person.
>>334841846
Wakako a cute. You should watch it.
>>334832356
No.
There are people in this world who will be born and die never knowing the glory of past, present or future video games. It is for those people that I play video games. They cannot play vidya, so I play for them.
>tfw my fear of enjoying life and achieving anything meaningful has come so far I'm literally shitposting instead of playing Dark Souls 3
I can't remember the last time I felt genuine excitement about anything in life, and it's making me extremely depressed.my mom dying a few days back also doesn't help, but it's unrelated to the much greater problem of being a worthless piece of shit with no aspirations or dreams
>>334842280
>your mom died knowing her son is a loser
well done anon
>>334832356
This show was surprisingly good
Why must I pursue anything in life? I'm not 'afraid', I just don't give a shit. I like playing videogames, so I play videogames. Other people are welcome to go invent cure for the cancer, or fly to the moon, if thats their thing. I play videogames.
>>334832356
video games allow me to not think about death constantly
And eating and drinking are only staving off the inevitable.
Never forget the important things, but don't be afraid to enjoy yourself.

Been playing vidya all my life
Have a good job, have a girl I'm kinda seeing, have my own place, been on vacation with my friends all over the country a couple times.
It's not hard to balance a hobby and "regular" life if you're not an idiot.
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yes
>>334845869
>Have a good job
you lost me there
>>334832356
Not really because i pursue things all the time and games help me relax when i'm not.
>>334832423
/thread
>>334832356
There are no meaningful things in life. Life is fucking meaningless. Games help me to live through days while I await my death.
>>334841723
change the cardio for squats and the macaroni for chicken breast a you have /fit/ life

Nope
I feel like everything else is a distraction from the more meaningful things in life that I'm afraid to pursue

Oh well

Uno dos tres,

>>334832356
Not really, because meaning is a human invention that doesn't truly exist.
Can I have a list of meaningful things so I can pursue them.
Do I get a cookie or a new sword for completing these things?

>>334849231
Think about everything you do every day of your life. All the procedures, all the things you do at work or school, everything.
Thought about it, it's a lot, huh? Now think about this:
All of those procedures were invented by children who just happen to have existed for a while. All of society is a veil. Everything. It all exists because humans invented it, not because it SHOULD exist. Humans didn't invent plant life or animals. They didn't invent the laws of the universe, but yet, 99% of the things you do in your daily life is completely fabricated by humankind.

I don't think I've ever had a point in the 26 years of life I've had where I felt like life ever had meaning

Vidya is a distraction from the more painful things in life I'm afraid to confront.

Nah, life has no meaningful things.
>>334832356
Yes. I should be working on my writing and writing, and polishing up my resume, but instead I choose to play video games in my free time. Hell, only reason why I come on 4chan year after year is because I'm a horrible procrastinator and need to fill up time.

Mori subs
he has actual subs but also joke subs
>>334842032
What about the live version?
>>334832356
Like what?
Getting a better job?
So that I can have even less free time, more stress, and then what?
Getting a 3dpd?
So that I can spend all that money on -her- stupid shit, instead of mine? Have someone else complain at me that I don't do enough for them, on my free time, for free?
Not to mention that the process there is pretty comparable to rooting around for diamons in a jar of broken glass. Whatever you close your hand on is more like to cut you than not.
It's all meaningless, you are an animal with the worst curse imaginable, self-awareness. You know that your end is coming, you want to leave some mark, but nothing sticks. Nothing ever will.
>>334858861
Also a cute. But as usually applies, 2D > 3D.
>>334832356
No I did fun stuff. I dont want to do it anymore as it is not as fun as videogames.

For me getting a better job also includes less tedious tiring work.

You are pretty pessimistic anon, you know no one stops you from getting a gun and ending it or druging yourself until you behave like a animal.
You can choose what to do with you fucking life faggot.
