Completely natural phenomenon. Me, I'm an autistic manchild so I don't have this problem.

Do you believe in regression? I find myself becoming more like I used to be as a tween now that I've been out of uni, work, and social circles for over 5 years.

I've mostly just played Civilization V, OSRS, WoW (Classic), and Binding of Isaac for the past maybe 7 years.
Sometimes I download games I've owned for years but never played, but don't get past that part.

Worse yet, many days I just doomscroll and watch YouTube slop instead.

I just wanted to say I found a funny little bug in Twitter's auto mod system that I can trigger with an image that will show up at random in this thread.

It works at virtually any scale including as a thumbnail and will instantly put you on the blacklist. Have a nice day, and drink cow piss.

I wouldn't call it regression, just a return to normal. "Play" is the natural state of life.

>>748109610
I don’t feel this and I’m 35. Perhaps the problem is you downloaded 50 fucking games you’ll never have the time to touch?

>>748109610
Stop. Don't remind me

>>748109610
i am a dad gamer, an unc if you will. i play heavily modded starfield for an hour late at night when the wife and kids are asleep

>>748109610
Sometimes you have to force yourself to take that first step to remind yourself that you actually do like your hobby.

>>748109610
Get more sleep

Sometimes you have to ask yourself why you’re doing what you do. If you feel like you’re attracted to the idea of playing vidya and having fun but are unable to enjoy it, then you perhaps should stop hitting your head against the wall and do something else.

To be honest, if you have a good palate of hobbies or interests, you should never even encounter this kind of
>WHY CAN’T I ENJOY THIS DESPITE TRYING AGAIN AND AGAIN
situation, as you can just organically do what seems interesting at the moment. Maybe it’s something else than games now, maybe it’s games a month later. Who knows.

>get home around 1400

>>748109752
goyim is plural

>>748113214
Exactly. But then the problem is trying to get in to a new hobby or "chasing your dreams" only for everything to feel like more work than it's worth and to not stick.

>"i guess you like them more than you like me."
>have to keep muting my mic to keep my friends from hearing her yelling at me
>refuses to stop coming back and yelling and interrupting me until i quit and go hang out with her

99% sure this is the reason most dad gamers end up disappearing and losing all their friends

And yet you're here spending time on 4chan on a sunday instead of enjoying your myriad of hobbies

>>748113956
Who says I’m not enjoying my time here? The point is not that you need to have an impossibly wide or (socially) impressive array of activities to rotate between, just enough that you never feel desperate to enjoy something.

Damn y'all aint even married and she's already a controlling bitch. Best of luck to you. Be sure to paternity test any kids you may have with her.

I think I've been pretending to be functioning and normal my whole life and I can't do it any longer.

>Have 50+ games installed
Choice paralysis is a thing anon. You really don't need more than 5 or so singleplayer games installed at a time. And then you can uninstall after beating them. If you have a ton of multiplayer shit you play once a year you can just leave it uninstalled until you want to play it again.
Also, play games that better match you interests. It doesn't matter what the metacritic score or /v/ opinion is because if you hate an entire genre of games, you will still hate playing the popular ones.

>>748109610
that's because you are playing videogames not because you want to but because for you it is either that or jerking off.
get another hobby or do some excercise or whatever so you are not chronically bored

>>748113887
I genuinely don't know why would someone willingly have a girlfriend in 2026
zoomettes are whores so getting a FWB is not that complicated

For me its svencoop, league of legends and age of empire 2 DE

How cooked I am?

>>748109610
for me its
>have 50+ games installed
>open the same 3 every night
>play the fuck out of them for hours and hours, neglecting sleep because sleeping would mean losing time to play vidya, and playing vidya during the day gets in the way of obligations i don't have to worry about at night
>close the game when i realize i should have gone to bed 3 hours ago
>go to bed

I have 300 games on steam and have played maybe 35 of them. not enough time with a full time job even though i work from home

>>748116007
This, but I already know and have accepted the secrets of the universe, and I never forget to go grocery shopping

>>748116007
I hope I get reincarnated into a worm next time

>>748116007
Painfully accurate except I worry about a 100 more things at all times and never forget to do grocery shopping as I plan every meal a week in advance
