It's the only thing that makes me happy anymore.
Well, maybe happy is too strong of a word, it's more the only thing still able to distract me from the crushing hopelessness and depression of life long enough that I can feel normal for a little while.

You've experienced enough of them for them to have become stale.

Games are focus grouped, and they pander to the lowest common denominator and remove anything too confusing for them.

The market has moved on and we've been left in the dust and they haven't grown with us.

It's time to get over it and move onto other entertainment while improving your life in other ways too.


Well all need to do it.

I guess you could say it's like coming home to an abusive family. You love them, but it's clear that they are doing your head in and you need independence from them.

Too bad most of you fuckers lack the independence to leave here <3

>Why doesn't playing video games make me happy anymore
- their design philosophy is in a nadir of casual pander, thus they're unrewarding and shallow
- the industry shys away from innovation in favour of casual pandering -- it's easier and there's more money there
- too many stale genres (FPS, open-world) stifle hype
- the "cinematic experience" renders video gaming straight-to-torrent B-film
- as you get older, you've seen it all before and thus new neural pathways are no longer being created (from new experience), which makes one feel naturally depressive...

It is interesting.

I was always thinking that games get boring mainly because I got old. But when I play older classic games, I instantly like them and can spend hours and hours playing like before. From time to time, very rarely, I get the same feeling with a new one as well.

Thus, I think that gaming went to shit mostly and that growing old is of smaller issue in this matter.

1980 + 44 = ?
1980 - 1000 = 980
980 - 900 = 80
80 - 40 = 40
44 - 40 = 4
40 / 2 = 20
80 + 20 = 100
100 + 20 = 120
1000 + 900 = 1900
1900 + 100 = 2000
2000 + 20 = 2020
2020 + 4 = 2024

This. I watched a middle schooler I was babysitting playing Smash 4 on his 3ds the other day. He was fighting a level 1 CPU as Link, and just walking up and forward tilting the CPU over and over and over until 4 stocks went by.

Then he loaded up another character and did it again, and again, and I stopped believing he might do something else so I stopped watching.

What the fuck is wrong with kids. I remember spending hours figuring out weird little shit we could do in game

Basically the only game i'm really looking forward to is No mans sky. I can see myself getting bored of it within a month, but it feels good to be excited about a game again.

This is true. You know, i was antisocial before 4chan, cause i had no one to talk about videogames or computers, when i got here, i separated this kind of life and normal life. Stopped talking about /v and /g in the real world so nobody knew i was "weird" and really got a lot of friends and socialy active. So, i have to thanks 4chan about it...anyways it is a rare case.

Unfortunately for you, people who watch subbed anime is a nonexistant demographic. I managed to find 0 torrent of eng-subbed versions and I doubst any exist.

Fortunatley for you, subbed Japanese is completely fine. The "I can't read subs and watch the action at the same time" excuse has no tangible basis since most of the dialogue happens during scenes with hardly any combat. Even in combat scenes, the action stops when characters start talking.
