can you talk more about yourself?
have you ever had friends?
did you finish highschool?
did you have a rough upbringing, or mostly normal?
did you used to be more ambitious?
etc.

you should write more about yourself for the best answer
but yeah, chances are you'll regret it lol
>>
also, do you do drugs?
have you ever done drugs?
>>
>>33956617
No of course not. Continue down this path until you're 30 and you'll be very fulfilled and satisfied with your life.

When i was a kid i used to love video games, specifically flash games, mobile games and retro games like Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon and Undertale. They were simple but they felt so much fun whenever i got back home from school.

But then i became a teen and started playing mature and/or hard games like Devil May Cry, Half Life, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, Metal Gear Solid and Shin Megami Tensei/Persona. At this point i got so used to video games they didn't feel magical anymore but rather productive. This is where i stopped watching TV because i found it to be a waste of time. I also started jerking off to rule 34 ever since i was 12 (i'm 18 now). I usually jerk off to rule 34 as a hobby before taking a shower. There are often times where a section of a video game i play is so hard i spend so much time trying to get past through it while watching a playthrough. There are also rare times where i ragequit on a section of a video game other consider easy with enough practice it makes me feel embarrassed.

Video games feel like homework those days, especially since i have else productive to do now that i'm finished with school. I just finished playing Mega Man Zero/ZX and oh my gosh did it feel worse to me because it was just that hard, especially with the first two games.

Because of this, i'm starting to play video games less often and started watching anime/manga. I'm 18 now, i'm currently learning japanese and planning to go to art college. One day, i plan to use my japanese skills to play Bokura no Kazoku as the last video game i ever play in my life.

So no, i don't think you'll regret living a life of gooning or vidya as long as you please others or develop some sort of talent.

Yes, you will regret spending all of your time doing these things. You already do, or else you wouldn’t have posted this.
You can enjoy those things in moderation, but you need to start thinking about what you want out of life beyond those things.
I love video games to death, but they’re not enough to live a fulfilling life. I have career goals I want to achieve, and I want to raise my own family.
Do some soul searching. Maybe get a job.

Playing video games will get you friends if you want them. The right games and with the right bit of putting yourself out there will have you end up meeting people irl in a few years.
>>
Yes . You need to do more fulfilling things with your life.

Thankfully, you are very young , so you can fuck up for 10 years and be fine.

Excersize, socialize irl with others on some capacity, and work toward a career / business.

No go for the maximum, goon more, play more vidya. You can sacrifice getting up to go to the bathroom and shit in buckets piss in bottles so you can vidya more continuously.

Just enjoy it bro. Go to e621 and Gelbooru/Danbooru, Hentai Haven, and HentaiRead. Just don't let the normies find out.

When you're old you'll regret not having children.
>>
>>33956617
Yep
>>
>>33956617
You will definitely regret it if you don't sample alternate lifestyles.

If you build a promising future and walk away from it then you will feel fine.
First of all: because you know what you're walking away from, you lose the "grass is greener" FOMO.
Secondly: if you've succeeded once, then you know you can change your mind and go back.

There is a choice between the simple comfortable life and a life of glory. This life of good and gaming will be peaceful, you will not be disturbed. However it may be boring. You may never achieve anything you judge to be of high achievement. You may never meet your greatest self. You will likely never find love as you can't just shun life and it's struggle without it shunning you as well.

It's up to you to determine what is valuable.

>>33956617
Enjoy your days with gooning and vidya, you can be stressed with life at 25

It is easier to meet people when young. Once you get older it’s a lot harder. By then people have soul crushing jobs, families, and lots of baggage. It is also easier to learn things when younger. It’s harder to get excited for things when older. If I were you, use some of the time to learn a valuable hand on skill. It will serve you well throughout your entire life.

100% yes. go to the gym and get some muscle but stay lean, get a trendy haircut, and start talking to girls.
