I do, just stopped playing.
Haven't played any games for three months now.

already played all the classic old games
there's nowhere left to go

So what do you do now? Vidya lost its magic for me a while ago, but there's nothing else so I keep buying games playing them for a few hours, and then spend the rest of my time doing drugs and wallowing in self-pity.

You have to change it up somehow. If you're playing the same games over and over, of course you're going to fall out with them. And sitting in front of your computer/console forever with no change will make you bored too.

2 suggestions:
Build a backlog, run through it.
or
Stop playing completely for 3+ months, then come back.

Depression and overplaying. Give them a break for a while. When you want to play them do something else. Come a few month's time you'll either like them again or have moved on from them.
>>
>>25041574
i don't like to pirate because then I hoard shit

I already have 800gb of cartoon seasons that i'll never watch

at least with my steam account me being broke prevents that

I'm about to buy a little android TV box and load up all my movies, Chinese girl cartoons, and emulators. I've played most of the snes but I haven't even started on the Playstation and n64 games. I just hope 1g ram is enough. The chinaman says it's like an 8 core processor or some bullshit. If it can play 3D asd 1080i I'm thinking it can handle my games. Maybe not the 10bit animu but I usually watch in 720p anyway unless I just really love the series and will rewatch some day. It's only $40 and I'll enjoy tinkering. I don't know shit about android and it can do so much. I want to control the games by wireless controllers and do all the nongame shit on a cheap tablet.

I always feel really good when I sit through an entire show. I got my little brothers and sisters hooked on anime. I can't have them surpassing me now.

In the same exact position as everyone else, I haven't touch a video game since March. I got into music thought which is a really nice thing I guess (not playing, just listening). At least I have lots of monies from not buying video games, started a vinyl collection which is pretty cool I guess. Also I tend to watch Anime, but find it pretty difficult to watch the majority of them. I have to find a show with zero romance and no school life. It just hurts me to watch those because it reminds me of how much I fucked up in my early life.

within one month your soul will be dead and you will be crying and screaming from boredom bro, I'm sorry

i literally turn on my ps4, start a game, play 5 mins and then turn it off
and then i don't touch any other games in 2 weeks
>>
>>25041915
I hoard them so I can have that experience myself someday

>>25041919
What bands you like bro
and what anime, I have similar taste
Also the vinyl hobby spirals into a horrifying shopping addiction quickly bro

Felt that way several years ago. Rehab helped. Except now I just shitpost on /pol/ most of the time when I should be studying for courses I'm not interested in.

>>25041982
lot's of /mu/ core, but mostly emo and low-fi
>Swans
>American Football
>Mac DeMarco
Anime can vary but I really like these from current season:
>Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka??
>Yuru Yuri SanHai!
>Go! Princess Precure
Basically Anime without a real plot so I can just put it on during some free time. Yeah I can tell how it can be addicting. I tend to only buy vinyls that I know I will listen to forever and never grow out of. I have around 15-17ish vinyls but around 450 albums on my computer.

I was really surprised by their tastes. My youngest sister was into the darker shit. I suggested Jigoku Shoujo and she loved it. Later she asked me if I saw Elfen Lied. It turns out she downloaded and watched it herself. I'm still waiting for one of them to mention boku no pico.

When your old ones fail you, you need to move on to a new hobby.
>>
>>25042102
But then who will pay for your NEETBUX, anon-kun? Who will ensure that you are able to sit at you desk and play vidya all day while fed with an IV drip? Who will make the propaganda that makes sure that you will stay out of the labour market, squander your talent, and never breed whilst the rest of us run the world?

Normies are essential for your survival, whereas your only use is to keep video game developers from starving.

I think it has to do with the quality of the games.

Video games are repetitive.
If you have played 1-2 decades, you pretty much have seen everything.

The more recent ones are just graphical upgrades.

Virtual reality is still but tech demos and you need some high-end hardware to even get the required framerates.

Either those head-mounted displays vanish again from the market completely or it just stays alive to get really relevant with the next console generation which will feature hardware strong enough to get any decent gaming developers on board to program a decent game that gives you a new experience.

>tfw I've been playing more free mobile games than any 60$ PC or console game


feels good man

I also like the fact that most of them have an "energy bar" that runs out and refills over time or some other waiting mechanic that breaks up my gaming time and spreads it over time.
If anyone wants any recommendation for mobile games, hit me up, I play a lot of turn-based RPGs, strategy games, strategy-RPGs, a lot of Japanese games, etc.

So you admit you do nothing all day.

That's why vidya has lost it's appeal. Go pick a job off of the job tree then maybe kicking back to play a game will become something you look at fondly.

Not him, but I play MMORPGs like livelihoods and never get bored of them.
