What the hell did you replace all those hours of gaming with once you realize they no longer filled the void?
>>27902840shitposting and cuckposting
>all day
>24/7
>>27902840
Also interested. Lost interest in gaming spontaneously a few months back when uni started.
Same here. Lost satisfaction in gaming recently. What do?
Audiobooks. Books are amazing, too bad internet induced ADHD won't actually allow me to read them at this point, but I enjoy listening quality audiobooks and podcasts.
>>27902840
LIFTING and stretching. Lifting is usually the main event but i always find myself stretching for an hour before hand
Maybe start being productive instead.
>>27902928
This, and I also watch the news, I'm into politics especially geopolitics so I'm satisfied and now my 360 has been sitting and collecting dust for 7 months, it felt childish and I stopped after I got on and played for ten minutes and suddenly I had a "wtf am I doing with my life thought" and it made me so depressed so I never played ever since
>>27902840
stock market games, I now spend hours autistically pouring through quarterlies, news and rumors as I would researching every little detail of a video game
problem is I have no money
>>27902975
Why do you cuck and shitpost friend?
>>27902975
*"wtf am I doing with my life" momentoriginal comment
>>27902992
I don't cuck post though, I never understood why cuckolding is even a fetish in the first place but I do occasionally shitpost from time to time just for the lulz
>gaming literally no exaggeration 5-10+ hours a day for 20+ years straight
>wake up one day, have an epiphany and realize gaming is a total waste of time and i regret every moment ive spent on it
This was 4 years ago and I haven't gone near a video game. I began lifting and fell in love with it, but that doesn't take much time up. Lifting for me (on 5/3/1 BBB) atm is only 4 days a week, each session about 1.5 hours.
I still have 25-50+ hours a week spare in where I would have otherwise been playing video games. On weekends I use to play ALL day long and night, at least 20+ hours just on the weekend alone.
>hurr just lift brah
Yeah, replace one mindless, dumb activity, with an activity that is even more mindless, and arguably even more pointless (unless you roid like no tomorrow). Enjoy feeling up your tiny bicep bump after wasting time for 5 years natty, because people around you sure won't give a fuck
>>27902955
>stretching before
>>27903016
I mostly cuckpost for the lulz myself. I just separate it from shitposting because cuck is baiting on a whole other level. So it deserves it's own class.
Kind of felt similar to you in regards to gaming but for me it's more that I don't have the money to do it and I feel real scummy asking for money for that shit now. Thankfully (or not) modern games suck so much now save for few. I also think since I am older I am losing interest in it regardless.
im almost 19 and i never really got into gaming in the first place. the only consoles i ever owned were the ps2, psp and xbox 360. i still have the same black 360 i got from somewhere like 2006-2008
only games i ever really liked on 360 were shit like fallout 3 and new vegas, bioshock, gears and other games from those years. pic related though gives me a big rush of nostalgia from when i was a little kid playing ps2
now i just lift weights, smoke weed and play guitar, be autistic in counting my calories and protein amounts. maybe i play about 6 hours of vidya a week
I replaced gaming with manga, anime, and other Japanese media. Wish I was more productive learning actual skills over the years
>>27902840

>>27902982
I have money but can't bring myself to do the research. We should team up.
Same situation here. I want to learn something practical, like woodworking, or gardening, or simple electronics, but I'm too lazy to jumpstart myself, plus I'm too old now and my brain can no longer learn new information as well as it was in childhood
>>27903133
I won't make it because I don't think wasting years and thousands of hours of time to become slightly more muscular is somehow a 'productive' activity
>>27903180
What else would you be doing?
I use to play games 60+ hours a week.
Lifting takes up about 6 hours of my time every week, I can barely find much to do to fill the other 54 hours up which are now free to me.
>>27903205
It sure is nice to be on mommy's monetary support, but some of us have to wagekek to survive. I have around 4-5 hours of free time on working days, and I come home completely drained, so why would I waste one of them on lifting heavy things up and down? Fuck that shit
>>27903233
That's fair enough. I don't push lifting on anyone.
If you don't want to do it don't do it. No ones forcing you to do it.
If you want me to be 100% truthful I actually don't want people to lift, less people lifting means my physique stands out more. The more people that lift, the less valuable my physique is.
>>27902840
music, daydreaming and massive shitposting
also anime
Anime and reading for me
Used to play battlefield for hundreds of hours per month.
I started a business and its tons of fun, engaging and makes me money. Nothing like the satisfaction of running things yourself.
Now I just occasionally play racing sims.
>>27903233
Little boi isn't on welfare and cries about being a wagekek.
>>27903233
>It sure is nice to be on mommy's monetary support, but some of us have to wagekek to survive
And some of us would love to wagekek, but the only openings are for telemarketer garbage that nets you 0 money since everyone's broke and we'd be pushing broken crap down people's throats. So mommy keeps us alive.
Go outside and just stay for a couple weeks. I've gone 2 weeks alone in the woods and it was the best time of my life. Lot of poop bags but I'm not scared of my own shit. The first couple nights feel weird and a little spooky but after 3 or 4 days you're free. I prefer to go places completely isolated from most people the mountains and the desert are the best for this. The harsher the conditions, the less likely filthy fucking humans will come disturb your immersion
>>27903233
lol you fucking pussy i work in a warehouse doing manual labor all day and can still find an hour to fucking exercise
>I come home completely drained
you sound like a bitch.

>>27902840
In my case, I've turned to simulators and programs. And chess videogames.
I've realized chess videogames are the most tough challenge. Their AIs contain the knowledge of hundreds of chess masters, and will come up with any tactic to any move you make. These AIs are the most motherfuckers I've ever met in a videogame. They surpass every "tough Final Boss" you have ever met. They are my ultimate foe.
And the plus side? Becoming autistic about chess pays off, if only because you become proficient in a real life popular tabletop game, with a tradition ascending back to centuries. Not any disgusting shit like LoL, but a game with a player base with goons like Wilhelm Steinitz, some guy that wanted to beat God Himself at a chess game. Would you ever find a LoL player wanting to beat God? I doubt so.
I am also looking for simulators, 'cause I find them fun, and a challenge also. I am a fan of the Ace Combat series, and I am searching for more flight simulators, more on the 'serious' side. And simulators like Kerbal seem fun.
What Im gonna miss are the awesome soundtracks of some videogames. I might keep playing regular games if I have too much spare time, like in holidays. But I doubt if Ill make it. I am bursting in many different interests now. I cant focus autistically on videogames. I prefer to be an autistic at things that pay off (like chess mentioned)
Pic relates is a chess simulator I picked at a flea market for half an euro. The worthiest challenge I have faced
>>27902982
Do you know about any simulator of stock markets? You have my curiosity anon
>>27902975
>not realising politics is an even big waste of time than video games
oh lawd
>>27903467
it's really more about investing your time in something that doesn't fill your family with shame.
>>27902840
I replaced the hours of gaming with learning network security, got a job where I do nothing and earned some basic certs out of boredom and then returned to playing videogames for the winter. Now I'm working on a motorcycle license and travelling. Once I accomplish that I'll probably go back to playing videogames after I find a new place to live and a new job.
I probably won't give up videogames entirely unless I somehow start a family or stop being a robot. That doesn't look like it'll happen in the next few years.
>>27902960
>productive
Literally a meaningless buzzword
>>27902840
The trick is to do something with your life and use video games as a leisure activity. I can garantuee you if you only have a few hours for vidya a week as opposed to playing it as a lifestyle you wont get as bored of it.
>>27903487
Chose anything but that. You are dedicating your life to meme propaganda that a bunch of sociopathic trust fund kids perform daily for normies.
>>27903347

Now I go hunting most Sundays
Probably get rained out this weekend but could use a break. Been going out in nature for a few weekends now.
I unzipped a prairie dog with a 22-250 at around 500 yards last weekend. Longest K yet.
I was coughing in bed, and I felt my asshole sink to the bottom.
My anus is broken.
Being inside is the only thing I can do, or suffer full prolapse.
I'm a freak
>>27903868
What the fuck have you been doing?
>>27903883
Shoving big stuff up my asshole, compulsivly. I couldnt stop even if I wanted to.
I also have a defect that makes my chest stick out, it looks awful even if I wear a thick sweater.
Yet, somehow, Im not a virgin and my ex girlfriend was pretty hot.
Now I'm confined inside to die because im a freak monster
>>27903942
>Shoving big stuff up my asshole, compulsivly.
L-like what?
I jeep trying to get back into gaming. My parents sent me a PS4 for Christmas and I bought Fallout 4 but I just don't care. I'll play it for an hour or two and then get bored and then turn on another TV show
I know some people can't watch TV because they need to be active in their entertainment so they prefer video games but I'm the exact opposite, I would much rather be a passive observer. I'd much rather rewatch an episode of The Sopranos for the 5th time than play a single video game
>>27903953
Champagne bottle, using shower gel as lube was the absolute straw that ruined my life.
I was crying for days and peeing 50 times a day, it was absolute hell.
Even today, 3 years after, I still have to pee like 9 times each night, and not sleep on my stomach.
My brain is so fucked up that I somehow repress this deeply, I should go to doctor but I dont dare to, also they dont know what they are doing. Doctors fucking suck and I hate them.
I might order an electronical kegel that sends buzzes into the asshole, forcing it to flex, and thus build up the muscles.
Sometimes I think about taking relatives car, and just drive into some innocent person car. Like killing myself, but bringing someone with me ofcourse.

Everyone who does this is a filthy poser who is as destructive to a hobby as a normalfag.
>>27904029
dude...why...just
>>27904029
doesn't that hurt? Aren't you afraid you will do permanent damage?
>>27904296
I already did possible permanent damage, when I cough I can feel my inner rectum slump down pressing on the sphincter.
I always loved lifting, since its self improvement and kept me away from depression for years.
Now, if I lift to heavy, my rectum can fall out completly.
It doesnt hurt, but I cant poop without digging out the poop or using enema.
Also cant hang out with people anymore because they are like "lol bro did you jsut fart", and "uh its smell like shit here".
Once I accidently farted infront of my mother she said "You sound like old man farting, senior who cant keep their walls closed tightly, you fart like 75 year old man with bowel problems".
Even my farts betray my status of my anus.

Every day we drift further from God's light.
>>27904425
you literally broke your ass
Keep searching for that game that stimulates your autism. Then enjoy your crippling lifetime addiction.
I work two jobs and go to school full time. That leaves me about 3 free hours a week to do whatever and I'm usually too drained to do anything else but turn on the tv or play a video game. Hobbies are for NEETs and part time wagekeks.
Anime
I still game, but its boring now, anime fills the void nicely for now
>>27902840
>try to avoid doing my project in which I'm already late by playing games

Do you have any proof, like a pic of ur anus?

>Also cant hang out with people anymore because they are like "lol bro did you jsut fart", and "uh its smell like shit here".
Hahahah no way. Does your poop not fall out sometimes? Like into ur underwear?
>>27904425
so how exactly did you fuck up your ass? your muscles don't work there?
Hope it's a joke and if not gto a doctor m8, do that electric impulse thing at least

Writing a novel and learning how to draw so I can someday adapt it into a webcomic.
>>27904425
More stories pls desu sempai
>>27903048
I love it whenever one of these anti-lifters chime in. You have to realize that to any of the people here who lift and enjoy it, we all cringe at your autism because it's obvious you've never even attempted to physically improve yourself and your post screams inadequacy.
>>27905917
Very nice.
I've always received praise for my writing in school and shit but I could never write a novel and have people judge it. I know I would be very bad, at least for a long time, and I fear rejection and ridicule like a bitch.
>>27902840
I started bicycling. I also learned how to draw albeit not very well. Then dark souls 3 came out last week and It's brought me back to video games again at least for a little.

Much, much more autistic video games. I just picked up Factorio. That and shitposting are like 90% of what I do now.

hey me too
everyone tells me how great I am at writing but when I read really great prose I just can't possibly think mine will ever be in the same league.
>>27904425
You are one messed up fucker.
I read books, workout and study. Sometimes I watch movies.
I don't know if it counts as a hobby but I also like tracking down girls' fertile days. I stalk them on facebook to see the things they like on certain days, I make notes about little things they do, how they act around me, what they wear, how much effort they put into their appearance, etc. It's actually very easy.
Books and drugs, mainly.
Too bad I can't read while high because I get bad memory while I'm high. Coming from vidya attention-span (basically zero) though, drugs have definitely helped me be able to concentrate more when sober, and I've been enjoying reading like 10x as much as I did before I started getting high
10/10 would recommend. Pretty chill so far
>>27902840
Watch initial D. Listen to music. Watch NGE. Think about stuff. Watch people play video games. Make small pieces of literature in notepad and abandon them. Browse 2^2 chan, 2^3 chan. (magic practicing individual) chan, and a few other websites. Work overtime. Take naps. Eat/drink. Learn to do stuff that isn't very hard but I don't know either way. Try to make my own techniques for doing relatively simple things. Watch movies/shows. This is a dull existence indeed.
How could you lose interest? There's lots of good ones. Also that image is shit. No matter how productive or successful you are in life it's all meaningless in the end. Staying in your room playing video games your whole life has no more real value than someone going out to socialize and contributing to society with a good job.
Don't fall into the big lie that people were born for a reason or that life has an inherent purpose. It's literally just passing time until you die.
Most people are too scared to accept this though and so they tell you to "be productive" or "start a family."
We all die no matter what and the universe keeps going as if nothing happened
>>27904552
>I'm never EVER trying prostate stimulation.
So much this. All those anal sex pornos leave out the fact that the girls who get too into them end up having to wear diapers for the rest of their life (or just use the bathroom constantly to check for leakage.)
The anus is an exit, not an entrance. Prostate simulation might feel good (I wouldn't know) but you're playing with fire.
>>27903021
so you abandoned an activity that wasted your time for another activity that is ... wasting your time
nice one familia.

I left r9k, I tried to join groups and be social, I tried new things rock climbing scuba diving. improved my swimming technique. I've grown as a person and possibly the even happy ( although that might just be the excerise )
but I learnt I'll always be alone and I don't feel like I have the support of other people and to be honest I am afraid of failing and of people.
started returning to r9k slipping back into neet ways. I'll wait untill the cycle repeats again
I am getting better at accepting being alone and have fully accepted no gf for life

>HOW DO I FIX THIS ROBOTS?
Force yourself to do dailies. You ever play an MMO with dailies? Force yourself to get addicted to irl dailies. Like lifting weights, applying for jobs, studying, etc. But let's be honest here, if your brain chemistry gives you zero motivation and crippling depression like most of us here, it's going to be extremely difficult, hence why so many of us are late 20s and still NEET.

I'm trying to get into FF14 right now, maybe that will help
I haven't played a single game for the past three weeks and I don't feel like going back now.
For the past while I've just been going through an anime recommendation list on /tv/ and watching a movie every second night.
Video games were always a children's hobby imo, sure, there are some I find fun, but the medium just doesn't do it for me anymore in my early 20s.
