Fuuuuckkkk. My life is gone. I remember playing mmbn, I was 12yo. I felt like I was 8 at that moment, where did my life go? Why did so much of it go to videogames? I still want to read a shit ton of books, shit ton of subjects, learn japanese and use it, compose a song, master the violin piano and flute. Even remembering actor names is becoming difficult, I feel I'm speedrunning through life, i'm speedwatching it at this moment, life is spinning so fast it's so fucking oveeeerr

Really, I want to get a PS5 and 'catch up' on all the big games from the last 8 years. But all I do these days is work, exercise, grocery shop, do laundry, and work some more. I don't even get vacation days at my job.

I've been working at this warehouse for the last 8 years. I was rejected from every job I applied to post-university, but this warehouse one was the only one that accepted me (after applying to it 5x). And let me tell you: it's been rough. Educational in more ways than one, but rough all the same. I especially fucking HATE cold weather now, but I've gotten used to preparing for it. I'm sure a lot of these new-hires aren't going to make it to February. At the very least, I'm living on my own and not with my parents; just being around them/seeing them makes me irrationally uncomfortable these days. Also

That's right. I just can't compare. After uni I became a doctor and tried a residency, only did 1 and half years before going suicidal from overwork. After that it's been NEETing until this year trying CS and finding out it's boring as fuck. I'm 30 but I feel 28 at heart, in fact I feel emotionally 18. Fucklk fuck fuck life is speeding so fast I'm gonna die unfulfilled theres just so much to do and so much time cost to invest into them. Fucckkkk

Interesting. Not only did you major STEM, you became a doctor and didn't find it fulfilling. Now with AI taking over everything, even CS-graduates are having a hard time, with you admitting that it, too, is a generally boring and unfulfilling field. I double-majored and neither degrees were in STEM, though that was never the intention anyway; I had other plans, but they fell through anyway and I've been stuck at a warehouse ever since. Still, I can't "NEET" because my parents basically kicked me out at 28 even though I had this job by then. There's no way I could or even would move back in with them, as there have been too many schisms and minor arguments between myself and them since.

>>723858604
Recent games, for me at least, demand more tech than I currently have and in which I am willing/able to invest at this time. I'm kind of hoping the AI Bubble bursts soon so it will be more affordable to build such a gaming PC. Then of course, there are bills, food, student loans, etc to deal with. Playing older games also helps heal my inner-child/teen who wasn't allowed or even able to play certain games before.

It actually makes sense now. Life isn't short, but your peak, your prime, your greatest point is.

We so easily dismiss the fact that people go through their 30s, their 40s, their 50s, into their 60s, basically being old and unattractive, ever weakening and with an increased risk of dying.

I've been grinding out achievements in Absolum, only have a couple left.
Still undecided on what beat 'em up I'll be playing next. Wendigo Blue I'd rather wait until a new patch so maybe I'll go back to SoR4 or pick up Final Vendetta if it goes on sale.

I've been trying to finish My Time at Sandrock. It was great when the town was in peril but I'm already in the endgame and it's getting depressing, pure decline under the guise of progress.
Kids that were doing fine before are now enrolled in a newly built school, the mayor hired a failed actress turned teacher that forces the kids to participate in stage plays in front of all gossiping hags.
I'm tasked with renovating condemned buildings so that normalfags and casuals who used to spit on this town can move in and reap benefits of other people's hard work.

I've already resigned myself to the fate that I'll always be forever alone, and never work a day in my life. I will continue rotting alone in my flat till the day I die, but might aswell play some vidya while I wait for that to happen. Not looking forward to anything other than Arknights Endfield really, looks dope. Last "triple A" game I played was Dragon's Dogma 2

>>723859878
I never enjoyed games that required precise timing. My biggest problem now is fatigue. I can still play well when needed but I can't spend hours on button mashing anymore. The only way around it is playing in short bursts or playing games with a lot of downtime and slower activities.

I’ve been listening to Protomen Act III releases.

The songs are great but it’s making me depressed when I reflect on even though 16 years ago I had objectively less I was genuinely much happier.

Sometimes. I was excited for Expedition 33 and Battlefield 6 this year. I don't get really excited for most games anymore. I'm 35 and have been gaming for over 30 years now so I don't get hyped as much and I don't have anymore gaming friends to hype me up either. It's a peaceful life.

>Are you actually looking forward for new games?
I'm looking forward to Where Winds Meet next month and have at least 5 games lined up for release next year so there's something to look forward to. Hopefully the Digimon devs build on Time Stranger's success, it's good to see games with censorless designs succeeding.

>>723859878
Don't have this issue at 35. I can still snap and flick onto people the big difference is that my consistency is dogshit. When I was playing FPS as much as I could whenever I could in highschool, I was very consistent and always playing at my peak. Now, I play FPS much less so I still have flashes of those old skills but I can't maintain it anymore unless I hyper focus the game. Also, sweating like that is draining nowadays and it becomes tilting and I've learned to not play through tilt anymore.

People keep saying it gets worse past 25, but I've honestly not noticed any difference even past 30.
In fact, I've gotten a bit quicker according to human benchmark. The one difference I have noticed is being able to keep up that peak reaction time for longer than an hour or two at a time before getting sloppy and losing focus.

yes it does help, it's waaaay better than constantly worrying about how the world is run by a bunch of literal psychos and how there's nothing I can do about it
or how my work is underpaying me by about 30% minimum and there's also nothing I can do about it either or how I'll die alone never having had a remote fair chance of living the life I wanted in this current fked up world
no i'm not interested in ANY upcoming game, because i've learned through my long life as a gamer to not EVER trust ANY company no matter how good a past track record it has to deliver anything of value, so I'm not even looking at what's cooking and I couldnt care less, there's plenty of past very good games to play at all times anyways

I was a fool for not noticing, perhaps I denied what I saw, and still wished for something better.

Silent Hill f, I really like it. I don't get the hate it was getting on here. Well, I understand some of it because its quite different and the combat can be frustrating at times. However, really like the game. I hope we get another game like it in the future.
Digimon Story Time Stranger, also really liking it. I'm getting into the late game part and I can feel myself slowing down on progress. For some reason I have a tendency to slow down on JRPGs the closer I get to the end. Maybe its burn-out? I don't know. My current goal is to get Beelzemon and Milleniumon on my team.
>Is it working to cope with the existential crisis?
I had that moment a few years ago. It hit me that I'm approaching 40 and the past few years are flying by. I'm working on my dreams right now, like making my own video game. Life is too short to put things off.
>Are you actually looking forward for new games?
Not really besides a few select games here and there. The Fatal Frame 2 remake is about it. Maybe the Silent Hill 1 remake too if its good looking.
I WAS looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 for years and years, but the trailers make it look very unappealing to me for some reason. I don't think its because I'm older now. It seems like they went 'here shove these into the game, Metroid Prime is boring without gimmicks' like come on Nintendo. What the hell is going on at Nintendo these past couple years..

Same. New games are normally garbage, so I just play RPGs from the 2000s and retro FPS games.

DoW Definitive edition, DBD, Helldivers, a bit of Runescape here and there, sometimes TW Warhammer, and CS. Other than that I just stare at my library of games wishing there was something fresh

Chink/gook/japjank indie games only. Also some oldies like Saga Frontier from the time I was a wee kid. Currently rigging up a junker PC from leftover parts to run Arch and plug it in my mostly unused TV to work as a proper oldies emulator machine. Been having a lot of fun ever since I abandoned big box games and Westoid garbage. I'm looking forward to RED DAWN, usually XCOM clones make me pissed off over bullshit RNG but man you can't get mad at this goofy low poly game.
>existential crisis
I live as a 40yo hermit, outside of work I don't meet people other than my siblings from time to time, and that works for me. I've abandoned all the friendships from my youth weeb years, they were a bad influence and from what I gather their lives are spiraling into the drain. One just trooned out. I think it's people's inability to resist indulgences that fucks them up by the mid-age. I control what I eat, exercise daily (although not as much as I probably should), spend time doing nothing just being with my thoughts, and sometimes go out to the little land parcel I inherited to make firewood and camp out. I don't even use the firewood myself, I gift it to my less well off sister so she can save on the heating. It's a simple lazy unassuming life but that's probably what keeps my head together.

Playing RE7. Pretty decent return to form, but still not as good as the original RE2.

Bought a Switch2, will probably be playing Bananza over the weekend.

I can finally (legally) post in here.

I'm playing Tamriel Rebuilt again to check out Narsis and it's great. The feeling of adventure and wonder is as crisp as ever.
Otherwise playing a bunch of horror games. Darkwood for now.
No life crisis yet, it will probably hit at 35 or 40.
Always excited for new games, it's a great time to be a gamer.

>>723857323
Brother is trying to get me into 40k, so we've been playing Space Marine 2 online together, we played the campaign when it released so now we're doing all the new online modes. Also been a decent year for games, E33 especially. Been nothing to play at the end of the year though, also nothing I'm looking forward to.

Kind of? There are a couple I'd pick up, but I'm not counting days till release or anything.
>Is it working to cope with the existential crisis?
To be honest, no. I've been playing vidya less, as it feels like a waste of time now. Most of my friends either don't play games at all now or pick a few they really are interested in, so I don't have anyone to discuss them with.
I've been spending more time on other media (to have more discussion topics) and other hobbies (to have more than one side to my personality). I feel it kind of working, though I've yet to get any real results.

I'm just playing Doom wads and Quake mods at the moment, and procrastinating going back to Morrowind because I still need to explore the new Tamriel Rebuilt region.
New games tend to suck, although there are outliers occasionally.
Life is okay. I work from home but can get away with spending most of my day laying around with a laptop and shitposting on 4chan. As long as I turn in some work every week I can coast, and for some reason I do really well in my performance reviews despite spending 90% of my time on here or watching youtube.

Don't project your own failings onto others.

>>723874448
is it your first time playing? maybe do like the other guy says and mod out the level scaling and fix the weird XP/level-up mechanics. the game is great but built fucking strangely and you actually benefit more from leveling up skills you don't use, it's quite odd at times. next time i play it, i intend on trying this overhaul mod that removes level scaling, adds hand-placed loot, slightly reworks combat and magic for a less spastic feel, among other things.

I inherited an Xbox One X so I finally got to play Halo 5. I got it for 2 dollars at Gamestop. So far it sucks but I am a Halo autist. I also replayed Horizon Zero Dawn on PC and it helped me come to terms with all the abuse I suffered as a result of Christianity. I'm now a fedora tipping atheist.

Turned 30 a few months ago and it hit me like a truck. Dealt with a bunch of bullshit at my job over the summer, realized I haven't been spending enough time with my 2-year old, trying to confront my crippling addiction to social media (but I'm here this morning lol) Generally I'm just unsatisfied with how everything is turning out and part of, or a lot of it, is coming from myself. So I'm finally trying to live up to the potential I had as a teenager and make something for myself. Unfortunately this means having to deal with the bullshit at work indefinitely since I want my free time to dedicate to those pursuits instead of finding and learning another job.

Anyway, it's spook month so I'm currently playing Alan Wake 2, Care and Carrion (all first time playthroughs). Most recently beat Digimon: Hacker's Memory and Professor Layton & the Unwound Future. I never played past Professor Layton 2 as a kid and I'm trying to go through the series before World of Steam comes out. Put a pause on it for spook month though. I was hoping to get to Slitterhead and Slient Hill 2 (ps2) this year but I just don't have the time to game like that anymore.

Oh no! Baby realised he's going to die some day! Get over it faggot. Try staying awake for a week straight, no laying down, no closing your eyes, no coffee. Then understand that feeling you get when you just want to sleep is how you're gonna feel about living when you're old. Death is welcome in the end, and it's a long ways off (hopefully). There's time, and you shouldn't waste it fretting and wringing your hands about it coming to an end, because then you're really gonna regret it when the time comes. Which it will.
>Are you actually looking forward for new games?
Lmao. Well, some, there's an Empire Earth successor game upcoming that's being published by Microprose, Empire Eternal, I'm looking forward to that because I hope it'll be a blend of EE and EE2 with modern RTS improvements, maybe they could take a page out of BAR's book for unit command, that'd do me just fine.

A lot of you only play trash. When you have a very narrow view of what games are of course nothing appealing will release. Additionaly, emulating old games is not the answer. Almost all console games are for veryyoung children, as are all PC RPGs. They aren't interesting for an adult to play. Someone who does this isn't nostalgic, they're casual. If you don't care about your hobbies they will become boring. That should be common sense.

>>723857836

>>723884969
>the jew gives you money for it.
No, you're a cuck, because you don't understand where that money comes from. You work for the jew to have him pay you back your own money. The money they use are your tax funds. The only real money that exists, backed by the labor of the proles and not made up out of thin air by banks when they issue another hundred million loan.

>Morrowind. Looking forward to the TR Poison Song update.
Nice. I burned out in the spring but plan on playing it again soon. I need to get to Narsis at some point but it's a long way south and I need to remember why I'm in a village in the middle of nowhere.

You mean the buffer zone between the first world and Russia?

One quick look in your journal should refresh your memory. If not, then don't worry about it. Morrowind is a open game. Just do what ya want. Now if you don't mind, I'm sailing to Cyrodiil.

Im tired boss. Can't be bothered to work, play games or do anything besides scrolling youtube shorts. The only thing keeping me sane is the gym.

Still churning through Silksong, Hades 2, and Legends ZA. I grabbed Ball x Pit too.
>Is it working to cope with the existential crisis?
Yeah it does. Going through personal stuff at the moment.
>Are you actually looking forward for new games
I'm keeping an eye on Air Riders and Prime 4. Otherwise, nothing major is on my radar.

I don't really feel any existential crisis, life is fine.
I'm looking forward to kirby air ride 2, not that I have a switch 2 or plan to get one any time soon. I'm patient, I'll play it some day somehow. For now I just pick something out of my huge backlog and play through it on steam deck, it's a peaceful life

I just dont find the time to commit myself to any game really. I stopped playing silksong shortly after getting into act 2 because I just didnt have the time for a week or two and then meh.
I find myself playing roblox, unironically, simply because that the games on there are effectively like hospital food - usually so bland and brainless that you can probably kick ass against anyone on most of the shooters straight after a lobotomy. Yeah.. its basically the equivalent of going down to the beach and kicking in sand-castles but fuck you, kids gotta learn life sucks.

I've got my hopes that VR will get another resurgence in a few years but... are these hopes or delusions? ... likely the latter.

Currently on a week off and playing Pokemon Legends Z-A (it's fun as fuck). The combination of these two is making me realise how many people on this board while whine about shit they don't play.

Otherwise excited for Katamari to unlock tonight and been playing Digimon Story Time Stranger and recently finished Resident Evil 8. Now the only main numbered RE I haven't played is 6 (or 0 if that counts) so I wonder if it's worth checking out those. Also hyped for the Xillia Remaster next week

I favor single player games and accepted that it's ok to play on easy mode to just enjoy the game

If I play something multiplayer, it's generally cooperative stuff and I've shifted into more support roles. I keep the party buffs up so the whippersnappers can do more damage

>>723868318
I really liked the atmosphere of Silent Hill F and it reignited my love for J-horror. So I'm also looking forward for the Fatal Frame 2 remake

That's brutal, fren. Glad you're regaining some movement and hoping for the best for ya

I only play l4d2 versus if I feel like gaming and virtamate if I feel like gooning

Every game I ever loved is a rotten husk. I put 5k hours into csgo 10 years ago but valve totally ruined the game and then deleted it from my library . Cs2 is a joke. So I play l4d2 instead and I boot up VAM when I feel like gooning to 3d futas

w-what did you do?

I've been looking forward to both Ninja Gaiden 4 and Bloodlines 2, but they released on the same day and I haven't had any time to play them yet.
I haven't even had time to finish the Battlefield 6 campaign yet.
Why do they release so many games during election season?

>Is it working to cope with the existential crisis?
i dont get that, i just enjoy what i got
>Are you actually looking forward for new games?
new to me is older, going to have FFT soon and Yotei after both for free, just wait a while for them.
Yotei will be fun and FFT is a favorite of mine
any real upcoming games would be.. uhh like 1.0 of EA games ive bought forever ago, or KCD2 dlc so i can finally go back and play the whole game finally

>>723859878
I'm 44 and the only game this has actually affected me in is CS2. Luckily, it is also a game where playing smarter / knowing lineups / angles / off angles carries you. Yes, I will lose a dead even aim duel against a 17 year old on their second can of Monster, but you can avoid that a lot of the time.

latest new release was silksong did 100%+all optional bosses with each crest, no hit every boss, all achievements, etc. didn't have fun
im at a point where i just dont enjoy videogames anymore, im not the target audience and havent been for decades, went through 1000 games in steam queue and literally nothing interested me
the only game im mildly interested in is nioh 3 but after playing wo long, sop, rotr i already know they're going to be taking all the shittiest aspects and kitbashing it into nioh and im not going to enjoy it as much as nioh 2, even then my interest in action/soulslikes has only ever been about learning its mechanics, systems, and tech, but im shit at applying them consistently and watching other players perform flawlessly makes me not want to even bother, im not naturally talented so i cant just effortlessly pick up and play at a top level in a few hours like most players id have to invest a ludicrous amount of time just to be worse anyway

>>eventually break my back on the job and lose the lawsuit because of a loophole. (Company somehow changed its name and ownerships, making the job I used to work for no longer exist)
Can't you just sue the original owners? And new companies take own the old company's liabilities.

37, I thought life was going to be great forever but OLD finally got me this year, hard. my eyes can't focus as close anymore, it's hard to play handhelds now. my skin is starting to get leathery. I don't sleep as good. I don't enjoy porn as much. my metabolism is shot, I'm gaining weight eating only 1 meal a day. yet I still love video games. currently playing black-box NES games, Wrecking Crew always fascinated me as a small child and I hadn't played it since then.

it's 2025, where the fuck is the anti-aging technology, I'm not worried about dying but fuck getting old

If the pain is below your abdominals and within your pelvis, then it's probably seminal vesicle torsion, get yourself checked out. Go to the fucking doctor.

Your diet is probably carbs and sugars, so your slowing metabolism can't get through it to burn the fat. Try doing a fast for a couple days, and do slow-twitch muscle calisthenics to burn it off. If you're thinking cardio, do swimming or cycling instead of running or you'll wreck the cartilage in your ankles, hips and knees faster. If your job or lifestyle keeps you indoors a lot, resolve to spend an hour or so each day in direct sunlight, use sunblock. Go to an ophthalmologist and get your eyes checked out, you might just have a collagen issue from vitamin deficiency.

Pic related.

You're older, you need to be more active in taking care of yourself or you'll turn to shit. People who live like shit up to and through the prime of their life are shortening their lifespans and call it aging because cellular renewal has to compensate for decades of abuse. The human body does NOT decay this fast, do not let anyone convince you otherwise.

Leveling on Epoch with explorer contract (50% exp penalty), I'm at 48. Server kinda dead but I'm just playing solo so it hardly matters. Still can find a group for some elite quests, only AH suffers from less people playing.
>Are you actually looking forward for new games?
No... I will grab an occasional small game like Megabonk, but nothing on AAA horizon catches my interest.

You have depression

I'm playing FF7 Remake. I beat the main game, now I'm playing through Intergrade.
As for life, I'm just going through the motions, go to work, do the stuff I actually enjoy and sleep. I haven't grown one bit as a person over the past 5 years. Feels like I'm still in COVID isolation.

Started playing Hades 2, it's pretty fun and the OST is great. Seems a bit easy though.

Feel like shit for never having a gf, and I'm pretty sure the apps are just soul sucking and since I'm 5'5 regular guy I'd probably be fucked on them so I don't do anything about it.
