>Be poor, spaghetti spilling loner>Find solace in single player video games>Always a generation or two behind everyone my age growing up>I'm grateful for it now because it allowed me to form a more well rounded foundation taste wise, rather than chasing [NEW THING]>Eventually grow up, get money and catch up to everyone else>Slowly realise other people don't play games for the same reasons I do>To them it's just an excuse to socialise, some toy or tool to fuck around with and not have any respect or appreciation for>Most of them as a result stick to the same 5 games their entire life, only trying something new when their peers decide to move on to a new timewasterIt's honestly galling. To have spent such a large % of my life thinking about games, playing games, getting immersed in games...only to have no one to share it with but strangers on /v/. A lot of people here even will laugh at me for even caring this much about games, because they're the very people I'm talking about...
>>748788449grown men who play games alone just aint right in the head.
i think you need to humble yourself and stop thinking you are so special and elite. you are not super unique for feeling like this.
>>748788449I hear ya, anonI've been falling out of modern gaming for a whileI'm much happier talking about retro and arcade dancing games than "keeping up with the Jones's" box>>748788694I usually play alone. There's nothing wrong with not being some online competitivefag
You just gotta remember that youre an outlier and outcast. Normal people will never accept you.
>>748788778I am merely pointing out facts about two perspectives, there's no need to get emotional over it.
the sooner you accept >>748788891, the sooner you can move on with your life and stop blogposting
>>748788980i am not. you are the one who is complaining about feeling misunderstood and that people dotn appreciate games like you do. welcome to being older than 16 and realizing that some people approach media in a low brow way. this is not unique and something that anyone understands at age 16. this is the case with all media and not unique to games. you are not special for realizing this.
>>748788694>/v/
>>748789330Ok.
>>748788694>>748789471
>>748788449>A lot of people here even will laugh at me for even caring this much about gamesIt's sad you even have to say this.If you don't care about video games then fuck off you're not part of the discussion go somewhere you care about it.
>>748788449I wish I could get over my spergery and embrace the life of the monastic.But I just don't want to be around other people. The church seems like it wants you to either be a monastic or get married, but I can do neither. So I feel discouraged.
>>748789330you are special but in the wrong way.
>>748793424Anon, the open secret is nobody can do anything. Normal people can't get married, have you seen what kind of kids they raise and the divorce rate? Let alone the high calling of monasticism.So what you should realize is that you are inadequate and these callings really are too high for you. And instead of trying to do things on your own power and will, you should acknowledge your brokenness and bring it to God. He will give you the opportunities that are best for you, and the strength to perform in them. It just might not be what you expect.
>>748788449probably no one has liked CP2077 story as much as me
It’s kinda funny. While people are sperging about the industry being total shit I have no end of great games to play.The ones who just want to bitch inevitably show themselves to be swine that you’d be a fool to present pearls to.
>>748793862You are of course right.Though navigating the catechesis process and being accepted in the first place will be hard. But as you say, trust in God.
>>748793913I liked 2077 a lot but that's some atrocious art. I can tell a woman is responsible for it from the faces alone. It also flies in the face of the characterization of both V and Jensen, in terms of how they would act in such a situation. It's also radiating homosexual energy. Also it's an incredibly generic and borderline robotic style the """""""""artist""""""""""" has, I wouldn't blame anyone for confusing it for an AI generated image.
>>748794226you have minimum 3 years before you should even think about doing anything in terms of specialization, other than just trying to live the basics
>>748789330Good for you, anon
>>748788449
why are westoids posting our monks now?
>>748795551>English Orthodox Saint
>>748788449>faggot dweeb writing paragraphs nobody cares about, about how he was a faggot ass loser as a kid and is now a grown man and still a faggot ass loser with no friendsHonestly pathetic. You're still a lonely ass loser with no friends whose only source of social interaction is shitposting on 4chan of all places. You really should sort your shit out. It goes in all fields because this honestly a waste of a fucking thread.
>>748788449Just play old games you like instead of being a drama queen about literally nothing.
Is Simeon Stylites popular among religious folks?I've only heard of him briefly, a saint who's so ascetic he ended up getting kicked out of a monastery sounds like an interesting fellow
>>748796217St Symeon the Stylite is painted on the walls of most Orthodox Churches.
>>748788449>>748793913Also a lifelong singleplayer gamer. It's sad and depressing that writing/narrative in videogames hasn't really evolved. The only wins of the west in the past decade have been• Alan Wake 2• Witcher 3 bringing in depth stories to side quests• Kingdom Come: Deliverance• misc sim shit in RDR2 (smallest win out of these 4)And there are few wins from the eastThe writing is largely meant for children still. Everything in Starfield was skin-deep. RDR2 story and sidequests were a lot of nothing. etcAnd increasing numbers of videogames include feminized writing. It's a devolution It feels pretty bleak. I'm considering learning to write / hire writers to try to make a good mod
>>748788694Yeah if you're a well adjusted mentally healthy male you just work 14 hours a day so your wife and her boyfriend can have kids
