Tired gamer thread.
What do you guys do when vidya isn't appealing at the moment? I have no other hobbies I can sink as much time into as vidya.
LOL
dan kim still makes comics?
Just accidentally deleted my Bloodborne save which I poured 200+ hours into.
On the plus side, I dusted off my guitar case for once.
I either watch tv, read either a book or comics or just waste time on the internet looking up hobbies I will probably never do because I don't think I'd be good at them and don't want to risk wasting money on something I might not be good at. which incidentally is the reason why I don't order different things at restaurants.
>>318125927
Usually that's when I make myself do things I put off.
Deep clean the house, cook at home more get into a book to read, etc.
Usually it pays off good but then something comes out that just gets me suck in and it will be another year till Im freed
>Masturbate
>Take pictures
>Drink
>Read manga
>Watch animes
>Cuddle cats
>Listen to music
I am a simple man
>>318126064
That's what I normally do. Games have always been like a reward for me, and I usually only play when I'm done with everything else. Maybe just stop cold turkey for a bit and find another hobby.
Get off /v/
No, really. Get off /v/ and your cynicism will fully vent out
>>318125927
This is me now. The hobby has burned me out. Things are just terrible now. I can't get excited for any releases. I feel old and tired. I hold no hope for the future.
Just end it please.
>>318125927
Watch anime and fap.
Mostly both at the same time.
After 12 episodes of this, I usually get in the mood playing vidya again.
ALRIGHT YOU JADED FUCKS
TELL ME THAT ONE GAME YOU'RE HOLDING OUT FOR
THE ONE PROMISE OF A GAME THAT KEEPS YOU GOING
>>318127484
i like games but hyping one particular game and putting it on a pedestal is just dumb do you honestly think there's something truly special about (_____) game that dozens of other things don't have
>>318127484

same, butterlord has got to deliver, there is no way it wont, even if its just warband with better visuals, a few extra mechanics and mod support it will still be the best game of whatever year its released in
I've fallen in love /v/

>>318125927
Whenever I ever see any of his comics, no matter which one, I always remember that one panel from Nana's life comic where Henrietta is teaching Nana that guys like it when you stroke their cock as you suck them off.
Dan is fucking awesome simply because of how no-hold-barred his comics were and his taste in lolis is great too, as Sakura, Nana, and Henrietta are some of my all time fav lolis.
Also, if anyone happens to have the link to that exact comic panel or upload it, it would make my day.
>>318128112
Dan's going to kill himself
>>318128254
He's been going to do that for the past 10 years.
And yet here he is, still kicking.
>>318127484
Star Citizen
If that fails then I quit video games forever.
>>318128254
yeah but who isn't
>>318128254
Hopefully my words inspire him not to do so.
Really, he personally made my life a little bit better and brighter because of his comics. Literally one of the few western webcomics I could tolerate.
He even used a lot of Japanese phrases and words that not even most "hardcore" animes fans knew back then. So the weeb factor really worked for me.
Enjoy games still. You get tired of games if you constantly point out flaws, that's why you don't listen to /v/ cause it's usually a bunch of virgins complaining about stupid shit cause they are mad at the rest of the world and need something to vent on. Seriously play call of duty or whatever game with friends and just have fun with bros. Yeah it's a copy and past blah blah, we are all aware, but it's still pretty fun playing with a group.
>>318125927
Felt this way since Phantom Pain.
Played Nier last week for the first time, really enjoyed it, listening to the ost and excited for the sequel.
In the meantime, I've been enjoying games again, so that's good.
>>318128579
Didn't that get called out for being a MASSIVE moneysink that was never going to deliver?
>>318127484
Nothing and that makes me sad. I'm in to deep to quit now. I still enjoy vidya but damn is it draining
find a video game and force yourself to play it, a nice linear, not too hard, medium difficulty simple game, like shovel knight, shovel knight brought back my love for video games. when I'm not doing that though I usually go for walks or try to improve my art, currently trying to get better at pixel art so I can help with that for vidya projects
>>318127484
A job.
>>318128914
Fuck off, Yacht Club.
Quit shilling your unfinished pixel garbage.
>>318127484
at this point i don't even know what i'm looking forward to
Dumbbell exercises.
>>318125927
I envy you fags that had the chance to get tired of games. I have a massive backlog. I'm excited to play each and every one of those games, yet life and responsibilities caught up with me before I could get to it burning away all the spare time I have that isn't the 5 minutes I use to shitpost here.
>>318129025
>there's a beginning
>there's levels in between
>there is an end boss where everything is wrapped up
how exactly is it unfinished? because they released free DLC? or do games these days have to have 200 hours of content in shallow open world?
>>318129065
A bullet in the head, judging by your shitty image macro.

It's like a pendulum that way. It's nice to have a few hobbies to cycle through. I read, vidya, 40k, D&D and write. If I don't want to do one I generally do another.

I'm probably an asshole but at least I can off myself eventually. You anons should count yourself lucky that anything can maintain your interest, even if it's not all the time.

>What do you guys do when vidya isn't appealing at the moment?
/v/. Browse soundcloud. Get lost on wikipedia. Walk around the house.
Pet the dogs. Watch animays. Lay down. Fall asleep.
>>318125927
Anime
>>318125927
work, sleep, play dungeons and dragons or draw furry porn
Browsing /fit/ tbqh. Thinking about taking up lifting.
Also started hosting a factorio server for /egg/ occasionally which sometimes sparks me.
>>318127484
I just have blind hope for the future.
>>318131654
Is that you jay naylor?
I have another hobby
It's called depression.
Get help. Make friends and a life for yourself. Get joy. Video games and everything else will feel more interesting.
>>318131673
If you're not used to working out regularly, the biggest mistake you can make when starting weightlifting is going too hard your first day and getting really sore, which will make you want to give up quick.
Start with easy lifts (like bicep and tricep lifts) with little girl amounts of weight (like less than 20 pounds) to let your body acclimate to being worked. When you're literally not feeling any exertion from a given weight at the end of your sets, think about adding more exercises for that muscle or increasing the weight by 5 lbs.
>>318125927
i wish I had a friend whose lap i could lay in when i felt down
>>318127484
Zelda Wii U and Dark Souls 3.
Mostly Zelda Wii U.
>>318132895
I'm not worried about soreness really, I just have alot of motivation inertia I guess. It's really hard for me to motivate myself to do anything except sit here on my pc.
I really was going to go this week since I was on vacation from school but I ended up catching a flu or something so i've spent my whole vacation sick.
>>318127484
I don't even pay attention to future releases anymore. I just see it released somewhere or a thread on /v/ about it, and then get told I'm in a cave.
I don't even care.
>>318128947
Why would you want one of those pieces of shit
fuck I hate working
I'm actually kind of having the opposite problem. I enjoy games too much and there just isn't enough time in the world for me to enjoy all the games I want, much less do anything else.
I have so many appealing options available at once that its too overwhelming and I don't feel like doing any of it.
>>318127484
It was MGSV.
Now it's Cyberpunk 2077.

I would like to learn to draw and game dev but it's super disheartening. I am kind of a slow learner and so I feel like it'd take a lifetime to just master ONE of those hobbies and I want to do both... Plus I still want to have time for vidya, and I usually just play vidya instead of learning art of coding because it's instant gratification.

I was burned out on the games I had available, so it isn't really much of a loss. Although I didn't mind a round or two of BoI before bed.
In saying that my life has never been better, I get out a lot more and am generally more happy a lot of the time.

Do you think that money is the root of these fears? It seems that way, perhaps you can get past this somehow if it is only money.
>>318125927
After the age of 32 I no longer care about video games.
I can't even fix it. I feel like I can see through the entire game. I see the programming and know exactly what it is asking me to do.
For what it's worth, one of the smartest person I've ever known posted this post-30:
>>318134684
I've been like that for years, but doesn't that offer a different kind of enjoyment too? I mean the sense of mysteriousness and discovery is long gone, but now I can appreciate things with a creator's eye. I admire the elegance of design and construction.
>>318134826
Kind of, but the most games I play I don't even think are designed or constructed elegantly. Sirlin always does well though.
>>318134809
I feel like, it must be this life. It must be this world we're a part of. I love games. They're my primary hobby, they're what I spend the most time on, spend the most time talking about, what I've bonded with people through and met new friends through.
But there's this awful nagging feeling like life isn't worth living without them. That the real world is shit, that I spend as much time gaming as I do because it's better than the monotony and disappointment of real life.
>>318135093
Real life isn't inherently monotonous and disappointing. It's just that your inherit constitution and reactions make it seem that way when video games are a much easier domain to explore and exploit.
>>318135207
I guess I wouldn't feel that way if I more often experienced the good things in life.
Escapism feels so necessary. I feel like I'd upset all the time if I didn't use escapism regularly.
>listen to music
>read
>write
>watch movies
If I play games nowadays they are usually games that I've played before that I really like. Started playing Dust: An Elysian Tail and I really liked it, but its already getting boring.
Playing games makes me tired.
>>318135363
I think your post is in agreement with mine. I wish that I knew how to nudge you along a productive path and make it seem easy and fun.
>>318134809
I kind of get where he's coming from but I have to disagree. I guess I should say I'm not quite 30 yet but I'm getting there.
I have been obsessed with video games my whole childhood. But if you think about it, it's obvious because that was the most interesting thing I had going on. I went to school, came home, had no internet or friends nearby... So I played games. When I new game I wanted was out I felt like I would die if I didn't have it right away. But I realize now that it wasn't because my love for games was stronger back then, it was because all my other options at the time were less engaging.
Today i can literally have a constant stream of human interaction with faux-friends with 4chan, Skype, Twitter, etc. All of which is available to be anywhere any time from my phone. As a human this is what my brain is designed to gravitate to. Of course I drift to that if I don't make a conscious effort to play games.
Not to mention adult responsibilities which take up a lot of time as well.
I didn't fall out of love with games. Rather, the other things I could do instead of games caught up. As long as a make a conscious effort to be immersed in a game and give it my full attention, I can enjoy them whenever.
>>318135568
There may be a point where even if you decide to give a game your full attention your brain decides that it is worthless and you shouldn't spend any effort on it.
The notion seemed retarded to me when I was <27 or so but now it's happening to me too.
Read up on global politics and history books.
>>318135568
Yeah, this. You work 45 hours a week, meet up with friends when you can, church responsibilities, cuts into your time. But I feel I have just enough free time. I rarely played games for longer than a couple hours a setting anyway.
I highly advise all you lonely people to join a church, you will finally have interaction with people, badass history, awesome artwork, and you can help those in need.

My life is fucked, so fucked that my steam friends don't even speak to me now. I have nothing but video games and most of them aren't that great, or worth finishing. It all keep tumbling down and it ain't stopping anytime soon.

The world is a much bigger place than you give it credit for, with a lit more people and a lot more stuff going on. If you don't believe me, just go to something you've never done before and try it out: a local DnD group, a country music bar, a gathering of people who like watching football games, a gym, whatever. The only part of your life falling apart is the one that you're focused on; if you shift your focus to something else, it's magically not falling apart anymore.
World building and generating characters for tabletop rpgs I'll never play.

I haven't touched a video game in over 3 months, I usually play them everyday on about 4-8 hours intervals.
But now, I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. I don't think I care anymore.

the dream
Poured about 120 hours into mgsv. Whenever i didnt feel like grinding away looking for more MB soldiers id always just go and grind tech skill in SSBM. I play comp and its always good to just practice for at least 30 minutes a day, which usually turns into 4 hour sessions with my friend who also plays competitively. We're constantly pushing each other to the limit and are trying to improve. I went to my first melee local and i actually made it past first round, which is an accomplishment in my eyes and i remember not even being able to make it past round 1 in PM tourneys.

Ragnarok Online Battle Fuck: Episode of Yuno.
The first game was exceptional; like playing a sexy single-player version of RO. Despite using a lot of preinstalled RPG Maker assets they managed to capture the charm of RO.
Second game wasn't that great. It focused too much on the story and kind of dragged you along instead of letting you go at it yourself.
Hopefully this one will go back to the practically open world design they got down perfectly in the first.
Release date they're shooting for is somewhere in January.

Call of duty had a very solid foundation as a shooter before it became the yearly rehash that it is. Also, Black Ops 3 is Treyarch and they put far more effort into their games than the franchise deserves.
>>318140872
It's not as strange as you might think. I can't muster any willpower to play RPGs anymore after being of the genre for like two decades all the while I found entertainment in simple puzzle games which I never even bothered with previously. You need some variety once in a while.

You find shit that is new and appealing to you.
Quut depending on AAA hype machines to decide for you what you should play.
You obviously dont like current or modern trends in gamrs so look for new or old games that scratch that irhc for that specific type od game taste thst you have developed over the years of vidyaing.
>>318148139
>age is the reason I'm boring

This but with VNs or RPGs or anything that had a story you got really invested in and characters you fell in love with.
The emptiness when it hits you that you will never see those characters again and your life will never be that eventful.

I think I know why /v/ is full of shitposts. It's because we want to enjoy vidya but can't, so we post semi-vidya-related shit instead.
This is also why Undertale is so popular. Because it manages to be so low on vidya it's more like a story and thus doesn't trigger the usual vidya rejection syndrome and tired gamer reflex.

I've been playing vidya so long that I don't know how to spend time not playing vidya. Guess I never thought the market would become so shitty.
I usually spend my time writing terrible fanfictions now and watching Kindaichi episodes.Fucking how is Detective Conan going on for 801 episodes without burnout?
