I'm so sick of playing video games. It's literally the only hobby whereby you waste hours on, and gain zero knowledge from.
What should I pick up now? I'm watching animes at the moment and honestly, I think it might be a waste of time too.
WHATS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE THING I CAN DO.
>>24422848
Killing yourself right now.
Exercise? Read? Clean the house?
become a trap
Accept christ and gain eternal life.
>>24422959
Eternal life sounds boring if there's nothing to do.
get a job.down with the robot
>>24422848
>WHATS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE THING I CAN DO.
leave this board for good
find a bf
>>24423092
I like this board. I can shitpost and it feels fun.
Learn to love reading
learn to 3d model
>>>/3/
Play vidya that you gain knowledge from, or that inspires to learn something. Even if it's just looking shit up on Wikipedia. I can only really think of AoE2 and Grand Strat for this purpose but there is probably more.
learn programming and make your own vidjyas
get a job if you want to produce productive.
watch sports
>>24422848
>WHATS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE THING I CAN DO.
kill yourself desu baka desu senpai
>seriously though, the answer to your question depends on how you define productivity
>>24423594
Yeah I do programmed a few stupid Android apps, but its been so long since I wrote anything.
>>24423692
This is one of the funniest posts I've seen all week.
>>24422848
Read literary fiction, learn how to play an instrument, learn a language, whatever
>>24423385
Nearly every quest in New Vegas is a pop culture reference, let alone loads of easter eggs or homages (i.e. The Kings)
>>24422848
Learn painting, shit looks nice
>>24422848
You can gain tons of KNAWLEDGE.mp3 from video games you fucking faggot.
Honestly OP, just exercise. It's the one thing you can do and know you're not wasting time.
>>24423872
I'm in the army, so I do get plenty of exercise.
>>24423839
Machildren this way, please >>>>>/v/
>>24423839
>You can gain tons of KNAWLEDGE.mp3 from video games you fucking faggot.
No, you can't.
OP, I'd pick up wood- and metalworking. Go and build yourself some guns and sell them for profit.
>>24423878
Then read a book about history, science, or STEM.
>>24422848
>and gain zero knowledge from.
Then you're playing the wrong games.
Some games, like Planescape: Torment, and Thief 2, have literally made me a better writer by opening my mind to new metaphors/ideas.
>>24422848
Lifting and reading. I was in a similar position where I just couldn't play video games anymore and every anime I watched was boring as shit.
Get a proper hobby by going to the gym and start reading books about something that interests you. For me it was the human psychology and behavior. That way you not only do something good for your body, but also something good for your brain, instead of wasting countless hours playing useless videos games or watching retarded moe shit.
Try it out for a week and I swear you'll feel much better.
>>24423924
I don't like reading.. I don't like the past, science is cool but I can't get too deep into it.
>>24423816
I want to try writing, but I'm not the best at English and I think it might just be a waste of effort entirely.
>>24422848
Read, watch patrician-tier movies, learn a language, get a new skill...
>>24423947
Hmm lifting is cool, but being a skinny faggot (I guess that shows how much of a joke I'm in at the army), going to the gym makes me self conscious.
>>24423974
Recommend said movies
>>24423816
This, find a local arts place that has classes and sign yourself up for one. I did this and it's relaxing as fuck to take a day off and spend the night sitting in a room with six or seven other people and draw/paint/whatever with them for a few hours. It's my escape from wageslaving and sad thoughts.
I'm terrible with talking to other people too and it's great because we all work in silence with instrumental music playing in the background and just spend the breaks talking about drawing.
>>24423996
anything in the Criterion Collection.
>>24422848
>It's literally the only hobby whereby you waste hours on, and gain zero knowledge from.
But you gain knowledge of the game itself that can marginally help you when playing other games. Some of the skills you pick up can be useful elsewhere, mainly reaction time and min/maxing which is really part of a game but I count it.
>>24423992
Yo, I was a skellyfag until earlier this year when I manned up and enrolled in a cross fit class. I've got defined abs now, dude. Never thought I'd say that. All of my self conscious lolanxiety thoughts faded after the first session because I realized no body gave a single fuck about me. Everybody is there to workout. Something structured like that would definitely help you my man
>>24422848
Join the army.You will get the chance to lead the revolution in the upcoming racial war.
>>24423992
Don't worry bro, gaining mass is pretty easy if you know what to eat. I started as a fat shit and lost about 30kg since I started. Don't worry about the people in the gym, literally nobody gives a fuck about you.
>mfw the thread is full of manchildren desperately defending the countless thousands of hours they've thrown away on video games
>>24424300
I have probably spend thousands of hours on vidya.. Man
>>24424384
Realizing how much of my life I've wasted on videogames is the reason I gave them up.
They're just not worth it.
>>24424300
>I didnt even read this thread
Go be contrarian somewhere else
>>24422848
Learn a language, it opens you up to new content a impresses normalfags.
>>24424300

See you on the other side anon

>I'm so sick of playing video games. It's literally the only hobby whereby you waste hours on, and gain zero knowledge from.
Play Kerbal Space Program.
>>24424006
Drawing classes master race reporting in
I'm still not good enough for sharing classes with multiple people but I tried it and know what you are talking about. Hope you are doing character design anon
>>24424545
>I'm so sick of playing videogames
>here, play this videogame
>>24424585
But it's a videogame where you gain plenty of real, useful knowledge on. It's halfway between a game and a simulation.
>>24422848
You can make watching anime or playing games more productive as well. Watch/play in a language you want to learn.
Other than that, the reason you want to play videogames is because it's easy and you've got too much time on your hands. You need to change your routine. Instead of turning on your computer in the morning, go for a run. You need to replace the time you spend doing nothing with something more productive, that's all.
Productivity is entirely subjective
Wasting hours on a hobby to learn things you don't entirely care about to impress people you don't even know is arguably even more pointless than wasting the days away playing video games
In the end it doesn't really matter what you know, you'll still end up buried in the ground or burned to ashes
>>24422848
Listen to classical music. It's the easiest of the great arts to get into.
>>24424743
Not even a weeb but that girl is so damn cute
>>24424765Umaru a shit
>>24422848
>gain zero knowledge from.
Play the Secret World. It taught me the basis of hebrew and arabic languages, morse, codes and solfege, historical facts about caesar or London and /x/ conspiracies (did you know that Mozart was a Freemason?) and a few other things.
It's not that it's that great, it reignited an old thirst for knowledge that was buried alive in the dark times of my dumb life.
>>24424765
I agree. Umaru a cute!
>>24422848
I'm feeling the same way. I'm getting into video editing... editing video game footage.
But I'm getting some marketable skills and maybe some cash monies in the near future.
>>24422848

>orbital mechanics is useful knowledge for the average person
>>24425365
My friends are really impressed when I go on about these mechanics, so I consider it useful. It has helped me to understand a lot of things about the universe in general, too.
>>24422848
READ BOOKS MOTHERFUCKER
>>24425380
>My friends are really impressed when I go on about these mechanics,
no they are not. you have autism.
>>24425380
Idk man, I've got a friend who works at NASA's JPL in California and he talks about stuff like that and my friend group and I think it's interesting and are impressed.
>>24422848
Reading. Get a big ass book and read that shit, The more you read the better at it you get. You will be training that part of your brain which you neglected for so long. You may find yourself able to focus on one task out of a time after getting more skilled at reading. Just the way your brain wires itself when you use the computer too much vs when you are an avid reader.
>>24422848
Learn a programming language, i am currently learning C then i am going to move to C++
not learning it for a job but to make malware, make a good trojan client and you can just live of the money selling it to kids on the internet
>>24425514
This man is right, it will improve ability to concentrate on one task for an extended amount of time. Give it a shot if you have issues with this, just be persistent.
