Does anyone else feel guilty and like youre wasting your life when you game?
Only if I have shit I'm supposed to be doing but not doing it.
Yeah and sometimes it prevents me from playing a game and I'll just browse /v/ or /r9k/ or some other site instead because its not as enjoyable as playing a game so I feel less guilty about wasting that time
>>338212887
Not as much as when I'm browsing this shithole website.Fuck, I'd honestly rather be wasting my life playing games. I can't go more than three hours without a /v/ refresh
Reminder that nihilism is god tier philosophy and you won't have to put up with any bullshit ever again once you adopt it
>>338213418
Yeah but then you have the mental fortitude of a 15 year old when you limit yourself to nihilism.
Me so much.
It's gotten to the point where I can't even play them, I just waste my time reading about them instead.
>>338213418
I have a nihilist perspective and it just makes life more bleak and uninteresting.
Stop wasting your life and you can play your video games in peace.

It's a meme philosophy like solipsism.
>>338214335
>solipsism
>meme philosophy
That's the best description of it I've read
>>338213418
wtf, adopting nihilism is adopting a lack of purpose, you might as well be dead.
>>338212887
I did, until I got a full time job, kids, housework, and part-time school.
Now I game when I'm too exhausted and mentally dead to do anything else.
>>338213157
yyyyeeeaaaap
and then I feel like I wasted the day even more because I didn't even play anything
i need to get a fucking job
>>338214857
>and then I feel like I wasted the day even more because I didn't even play anything
Or just inevitably masturbated all day because you got boring browsing 4chan and regret not playing vidya instead or doing just anything more productive than internet and porn
>>338213334
this, lol
end my ass someone
>>338214596
Nihilists and solipsists were the shitposters of their time, at least that'show I like to imagine it. While everybody was trying to figure out how to approach reality and our perception of it, there was that one guy who was like "screw you, losers, I'm not believing any of your bullshit, none of it" and the other faggot going "nuh-uh, you guys only exist in my mind, reality in its whole is but a fragment of my imagination, suck on it".
>>338215194
I agree, fuckiing meme philosophy indeed.
>>338212887
yes i feel like im wasting my youth but it feels so good, my parents say i should focus on more important stuff like getting a job/bf/friends since im already 20
fuck
I only feel like I wasted my time playing a lot of multiplayer or what this guy said >>338212983.
When I beat a single player RPG or RTS ( The only genres I really play) I feel like I accomplished something even if it produces nothing to society.
Yeah. I think its because I have higher more important ambitions that I haven't accomplished yet, so as time passes it becomes harder and harder to ignore that voice in the back of my head telling me to get to it.
>>338216130
>higher more important ambitions
I felt the same way then I got really heavily addicted to porn for 5 years ...
>>338216321
Same. I've spent more time fantasizing about cock than doing anything productive.
>>338216697
fuckme too
>>338216697
priorities
No, if I'm having fun its not a waste of time.
>>338217369
you only feel like you're having fun
>>338214701
>>338214069
Only when I haven't done anything productive for like a week or so.
>>338217552
hard to be so upbeat when you can't afford vodka and or weed and girls aren't interested in banging at your parent's house anymore
I feel way, WAY more guilty about the time wasted on this fucking shithole. At least with games I have some happy memories.
Also, everytime I go outside or travel I'm miserable so I'm not sure what else I should be doing with my life. Getting a better job? Well I'm on that already. Getting a bitch? Well, 3DPD.
>>338213418
It depends on the kind of person you are. The way I am, I can't be reminded of meaninglessness. I have to keep myself busy enough where I'm no longer experiencing the sensation of meaninglessness.
>>338218110
holy shit anon
>>338217962
>Also, everytime I go outside or travel I'm miserable so I'm not sure what else I should be doing with my life. Getting a better job? Well I'm on that already. Getting a bitch? Well, 3DPD.
This. I think one of things that keeps me discouraged is knowing that millions of dollars and beautiful woman isn't even enough to guarantee happiness.
I could work tirelessly and attain all these normalfag accomplishments and still end up miserable.
>>338212887
not when i'm playing overwatch
Today's my day off and I did nothing but play vidya
I feel fucking awful
>pointlessly grinding away at game to get more items and cosmetic stuff
>hoping that i can flaunt it all when my friends start playing too
>i know they never will
>i'm doing it all for nothing
>just more time wasted, yet i still don't stop
>>338217478
Yeah fun is a feeling, so I do feel like I'm having fun.
>>338218557
no you feel like it sfun but its bnotfun iutsntiopyphttutnrnnnn
>>338212887
Sometimes if it make a lot of progress in a game and feel really happy I'll realise that it was all pointless and a waste of time in could have spent improving myself.
>>338218462
>do the same at work
>all for the better lifestyle
>thinking of just dropping out and becoming an irish monk
I waste my life doing things I DON'T want to do. Why would I ever think I was wasting my time playing video games when I ENJOY playing video games? If you let the normie notion of video games being massive time wasters then maybe you shouldn't play them or just not have a hobby.
>>338219972
If you let the normie notion of video games being massive time wasters influence you, I meant to say.
>>338213334
Browsing and posting on /v/ and other boards actually makes me feel really fulfilled.
There's just something nice about knowing that you made someone laugh with your post or had a nice talk with someone that makes me happy.
>>338217957
It's pretty easy to be upbeat if you don't take things so seriously, but also don't just give up on life.
What helped me was figuring out that most desires are generally things that I was *told* I should aim for. Stuff like a big house, nice car, six figure income, hot wife, improving yourself, getting talented at normal hobbies, etc. Right now I think that, while I could be happier with some of those things, it would be a marginal increase and really not worth the amount of work that would go into it.
So long as I have
>a not-shitty apartment with good Internet
>the ability to work out
>some good friends
>good food
>a job that's tolerable
I'm pretty content. It also helps to realize that if you're living in the current year and are not living in India, China, Africa, shit like that, your living standards are probably better than 99% of everyone who has ever existed.
>>338212887
I feel guilty and like I'm wasting my tine when I work
>>338212887
Nah, only when I get home from the QA office and continue playing games at home even though I already spent my whole work day playing games at the office
Videogames aren't additive tics they are wetlands abusted yo be use every day if the night I'd u disagree if thunk it just. I died weak
>>338220418
Me too, I'm annoyed with all the people I encounter and work with, feels like they are the reason I'm there.
The work feels meaningless, because it is.
I'm a confectioner at a fine bakery, nobody really needs that stuff.
I'm trying to tweak my life so I can spend to pure minimum amount of time outside and be able to survive.
>>338220318
ir eally really like this pic
>>338212887
You're more wasting your time for not using the auto fix tool on photos shit head. This resolution is awful.
>>338220318
>I settled for being mediocre and did a ton of mental gymnastics to make myself believe I'm superior for having figured out this "truth" over the fools who seek to be better
epic bro, simply epic
>>338212887
That's how you should feel
