>>334895154
I asked a question, you're deflecting it towards me because you're fucking weak. It doesn't matter how much you work or go to school and it never will, you were born weak and you will die weak. Me, I had a period of my life I fell off, yeah. But I'm taking control. You know why? Because I can. I can surprass you with no fucking effort. Just because I chose to live the way I have doesn't mean I'm stuck there forever. I made those choices and I'm making the choice to stop letting other people run away with whatever illusion of power I've instilled upon them. I am greater than you and always will be. So don't come at me sideways thinking you're fucking sweet or something. Taking shorts cause I'm in Florida when you couldn't say a word to me when I was home. It is my concern and it will be my concern. Fall Back.

It sucks. And they seem to do it with multiple people as well, and target similar people (usually good players). They usually feel rather fake in their personalities, and try too hard. I also get the feeling they only go after people that are seemingly lower on the "social ladder".

That's easy, just realize they are all shit and that you don't enjoy playing them at all anymore and every game feels like a fucking chore to do and not something you actually want to be doing.

>>334897280
Why do people like you think being alone and without company is cool or desirable, it's been scientifically proven to be bad for you mental and physical health, it makes you dumber, more closed off, less open to ideas and all around worse
Get out of the house, meet people, I know it's hard, I am a literal Aspie, I understand that it's intimidating and scary, but it is so worth it

normative fallacious "measurements" according to certain ideological / paradigmatic biases that go unquestioned in contemporary psychology; no one has quantitatively analyzed happiness in a meaningful way, especially within the "sociological facsimile" framework established in a paper published in october of last year.

Off topic:

My friend went full junkie, last time I saw him he lived with some 50+ year old fat lady who he and his junky friends referred to a "Mom" because she was their drug mom who supplied them with things. It was like being in a comic book.

It even had the stereotypical guy who could only respond with singular sounds like "yuh" "uhh" "mm" and leaned against a wall for hours.

I don't presume to know what's best for everyone

A couple years back I posted online more than play games.

Nowadays I actually play 15-20 hours a week. Feels good. When I binge on a jrpg its much more than that.

I hope that we can all work through our social issues and find happiness.

I used to play them all day everyday, but now spending hundreds and hundreds for medicore games isnt worth it. The last game that impressed me was dragons dogma, nothing has topped it in my head. my favorite series Infamous got an edgy hip new protagonist and i never got it. Dark souls 3 will probably be the last game i buy. Games have stopped having extras and replayability in the name of a cinematic experience. And i dont like it

You can't learn to care, you can only learn to imitate caring. Caring is instinctual and something you don't have the innate capacity for.

>I did, do and will continue to do so, I am not there yet but I have gotten better
You have gotten better at pretending, but no better at being. You are never going to be a real boy Pinocchio, that's not how the story goes in the real world.

And in the end, you're still shallow minded.
Your drivel about scientific proof of what's best for the majority means nothing for the individual. To quote another poster,

Let people figure out what makes them happy.

If a person enjoys their life in solitude disconnected from contact with others, then let them be. Forcing your own ideologies on them and telling them they could be happier just because it's healthier is again, shallow and childish. Whether it's healthy or not matters nothing to the individual, as it is their mind and life to make and follow the choices they've made.

But none of this probably computes to you.

You do have a good point, I can understand that despite my intentions my trying to force an ideology onto others is wrong and I truly do apologise

I really do apologise if you felt I was attacking the secluded way of life, if that is what makes you happy then that is what you should do

>I stopped listening to music. Shit gets stale
I honestly don't see how.

I still have a lot of catching up to do, since I haven't heard a lot of music from last year and this, and there are plenty of artists for me to still check out, but at least I still really enjoy listening to music, dammit. Probably my second favorite thing after video games.

>I haven't watched a movie in years either.
I need to watch more movies, if anything. Most everything I've watched recently has been capeshit, but honestly once you sit down to watch a movie, you realize it's only usually up to 2 hours or so out of your day. That's nothing in the long run.

MGS2 is great too m8. It was literally the same gameplay as 1, just improved in arguably every way.

Hell, the story was pretty much the same too, just with a more boring character. Which was the entire point. For better or worse.

I couldn't even strawpoll them all my backlogs so fucking huge. And I get maybe 1-2 hours into all these games and then forget where I'm at/don't feel like continuing.

Same, though I could probably learn if I tried. I did try to play the guitar, and though I made some progress, I stopped due to impatience.

I have a better experience with the drums, which I plan on taking up one day. I also want to fool around with electronic music someday too, but I'm always afraid of embarrassing myself or something.

I plan on trying to learn some Japanese one day. Wonder if I can actually do it.

Considering I suck when it comes to learning foreign languages, I probably can't do it.

That song was great btw.

I was just listening to this a little while ago:

I don't care about music. After years of it it just gets old. Most people just use it to fill a void anyways. Seriously when I smoke with them or ride around with them it's always 99% the same albums as usual. I would rather listen to a funny or educational podcast than some faggot singing about the same 3 tropes or whatever. Only music I choise to hear anymore is the music that comes from me fiddling with a harmonica. I don't have some aversion to music, it's just fucking boring senpai.

No actually, but that's usually the kind of shit that will make people cut contact from you.

Been like 3 years already. Sometimes I do text some people on their birthdays or something and then I get the "where the hell have you been" and "why didn't you contact" apology lines. No, fuck you if you wanted to talk to me so much the phone is right fucking next to you.

As for vidya I don't see a reason to stop. I've already slowed down. I used to play every single game that was releasing but now I'm just skipping most of the AAA trash. I'm also not at home for 80% of the week because Uni

Video games are how I socialize, and I've got a good core of friends I like to play with every day. So no, I wouldn't give up games. They aren't my only hobby, but they're my most social one.

Heart's breaking from all the people who are either lonely or sad in this thread though. If you're really needing human contact, why not join a local church? Good ones are always welcoming, and they usually host get-togethers and whatnot in a low social pressure environment.

I play video games to fill up times because I can't think of anything better to do.

It's less about video games keeping me from completing my goals and more about me just not having any dreams or goals in the first place.

>no real friend irl anymore

I just can't do it anymore, I forgot how to make friends. Everybody is already in groups and just bursting into their conversations randomly seems autistic and rude of me.

>>334904616
Talk to the person next to you in class, make a joke or two, see if they're interesting enough for you to hang with them. Group projects can lead to friendships if you let them

I feel like I just fell into it by accident. All my life my friends were the ones who would reach out to me and one day it just stopped, and I just never felt the need to contact them ever again. And I'm talking about online friends, my only kind.

I remember back in when Halo 2 came out you would talk to and interact with everyone in the game. It seems like now games are just do your own thing, but online with other people. How do you meet people to play with?

I've thought about wanting to live in very secluded area like a farm or a cabin in the middle who knows where but not being able to have good internet for vidya kills that desire.

Yeah yeah, I know, Christians get a bad rep, but it worked for me. In college, I had a couple guys hand me a flyer for their church, and asked me if I'd like to come. Took a shot, went, and really enjoyed all the friendly people.

I wasn't ready to hear the message just then, and didn't go for a long time, but those guys always invited me, always reached out. I was in a dark place and turned away eventually. Fast forward almost a decade and I'm overcome with godly sorrow that I didn't trust/want them to help me earlier.

Seth, Josh, if you're out there, thank you for everything you tried to do for me, you two were true ambassadors of Christ

>>334905616
None, actually. I think what you'd call weebshit sounds like total ass.
>>
>>334896526
It just happened. I don't like to go out to public places anyway so not having to make up excuses for why I can't go is only easier for me.

I think I was doomed from the start. I never could invite any friends over as a kid because my parents were arguing all the time so not having any friends to always spend time with seems natural to me.

Shit's subjective, man. The original "shit taste" bit was meant as cheeky shitpost, the rest of it was just my autistic ramblings. So autistic I actually thought I was being nice, sorry; I don't really talk to people much.

Remember, they WANT you there. You're one of them, no matter where you came from or what you've done.

"And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."

Take the first step anon, I'm there with you in spirit

>>334896526
Pretty much. When I go on facebook it's to interact with interest groups and give or ask for advice regarding my hobbies.

I don't talk to anyone or go out much because I don't really enjoy it at all any more. I can't find a reason to bother with socialising.
