Play rather artsy/emotional vidya familia
Try silent hill 2 or bioshock
Or replay some vidyas of you childhood, that always feels really nice

If you're not earning 110k, own multiple properties and have a loving partner then you're wasting your time with these kid games.

Or just do something that you like. Do you have any hobbies besides vidya? Having a creative outlet is always great

Videogames should be a form of meditation to relieve stress. Do not play more than 15 hours a week otherwise you are wasting your life.

The notion that you have to produce something before dying is just our consumerist society trying to squeeze as much out of you as they can, it's all bullshit.

Man you sound like a bitter 'under achiever'. Producing something is a way of creating something better than we are. Its in a humans genetic make-up to provide and produce for those around them either as a form of expression or was a way to better the lives of others.


Try to remember that they aren't all out to get you.

Duck Game: Like Smash but everyone is a duck and there are guns and they will all kill you in one hit. Really fast, varied, and full of hilarious stupid deaths.

Gravity Ghost: Super cute and comfy platformer with gravity mechanics. Manages to be unique even in the overloaded "puzzle platformer" genre.

Are you dense? It's not the games, it's you. Sort your life out, mate.

>>319578901
Edgy motherfucker! You must be feeling real good.

OP, it's a phase. You'll get through it. I expect at least 80% of /v/ to go through this once or twice in their lives. And that's pretty normal. Keep on playing videogames. It's good fun. Fill in your time with fun, and your living like anyone should.
>>
>>319579706
He's not wrong though..

You're arguing to getting through phase that relies on a hobby. Hobbies are meant to pass the time, be fun. If someone feels like their hobby is a waste of time, it's because they're doing it too much and they realized that it's just a fucking hobby.

Like.. holy shit. Are you retarded?

I'm not arguing that doing what you did is the way to go through a phase. I'm arguing that such a phase is, most likely, not the result of playing videogames too much and losing interest because of it. That is really not the reason anyone would get into depression.
OP should probably find a little help and get out there. But to say videogames are a way of escaping reality instead of plain and simple having fun, and saying it's all crumbling and shit.. come on dude. That's pretty much being edgy and wrong.
Unless OP is a hardcore vidya-addict that is. But I don't expect them to play and enjoy Undertale.

How does your partner feel about you being NEET or whatever?

It's one of the reasons I feel like I'm automatically disqualified from even trying to date, but then I hear about NEETs that still have boyfriends/girlfriends (and aren't some kind of trophy wife)

Is it that they love you and are hooked and make enough money that they don't care, or what?

You sound like one of those kids who say that weed is completely healthy and has no side-effects whatsoever because they smoked a few times at some party and were fine the next morning.
Please don't say something of that sort when you don't know shit about the subject.
Advising fucking hallucinogens to a person in unstable mental state. Not depressants, not stimulants. Fucking hallucinogens. You don't even know how cruel you are, do you?

Man that sounds like most things in life. If OP took some MDMA he would be sorted in no time. Make you view life in a new light. Of course theres risks attached but you need to take risks in order to live a full filled life. But it also helps being educated on how to lower the risks.

They are also NEET. So together we plan to sort of make one functioning adult.
We also love to bang, and go on sadpanda together. Which helps.

>>319581874
Actually, I figured you wanted an answer more relevant to yourself so I'll just say if someone in my situation can get someone who says it feels like being in a dream, anyone can.

As someone who misses his fun being a pua greaseball and also misses when he wasn't a Caska tier potato, I concur that there's a 'market value' for people and that there's a method to all forms of madness, especially love. That value differs from person to person.

I think I also have an especially trustworthy and purehearted mate. Having lived my life as a backstabbing rogue until I lost everything, I know one when I see one.

What I'm saying is that you are probably able to get someone you want and keep them happy, even if skills or a job help.
