You should just like put on some Tomb Raider or something man. Or Open Roller Coaster Tycoon.

>>726007023
You just don't feel passionately enough about the game you were intending on playing.
If you actually wanted to play, you would prioritize it above other activities.

Why are you trying to force yourself to play videogames?

Ah good I've been waiting for one of these "I wish I was addicted to heroin" threads.
Someone explain, as I cannot fathom why anyone would want to replace one time wasting hobby with another, only to feel depressed beceause they cannot.
No midwit "everything is pointless" takes please, you know what being productive means. You either care about that in your life or you don't.
So, why do you feel down? If you said this about learning an musical instrument or something I'd understand.
Genuinely curious as gaming is my strongest addiction that only gets in my way.
>>
>>726009497
I play good games not sloppa. I've had substance addictions in past, this is a massive step up. Playing a good game is much better than doomscrolling. It's embarassing that I can't pull myself away from absolutely base soulless dopamine chasing to play a game which I enjoy much more in the long run.

Okay, but why is gaming your baseline for wanting to feel "sharp"? I'm not going to tell you to study quantum physics, but if your ambitions are already out of your reach why not set them to something admirable? And if you admire gaming, what is it doing for you exactly? RPG narratives? Books. FPS Competition? Sports. You get it.
Is there really that vast a distinction in "rust repair tiktoks" dopamine and "hitting murlocs until you ding" dopamine?
Basically I feel like you are fence sitting, I know high iq guys who doomscroll and eat goyslop all day and accept they are a slave to society. I also know retarded normies who watch sports and do nothing else, also satisfied. I don't think you actually crave games.

I have a roster of severe mental issues and I recently lost my job and broke up with my long term girlfriend so I've just been focused on consuming and producing media. I've been writing and recording demos while alternating reading novels, listenig to music, watching anime, and playing video games based on my whims. Unfortunately, lately, I've mostly just been on here or on normie socials because I have a hard time getting off the dopamine train and committing to even consuming media, as pathetic as that is. Once I start I enjoy it and can go for hours.

Are you a gay
>>
>>726007023
Make a vidya room and don't give it access to the internet.
>>
>>726011224
Yeah but a regular gay not a tranny gay
>>
>>726010810
But yes I really have no goals at the moment aside from consuming and producing media. I'm putting off about a dozen things I should do to move my life forward. But even then I would just want to be more consistent in creating and sharing things with others, and leaving the house to have experiences, and at some point have a couple of friends and a girlfriend again. I have no career ambitions or prohibitively expensive hobbies and I've accepted I will always live in a small apartment.

You clearly have goals, you are just in a bad place right now. Okay I think I've reached my conclusion that people who feel this way actually have deeper ambitions, but primarily are confused by a conflicted view of "consuming" content as one that is both healthy and harmful.
If you cannot accept consuming entirely, I believe it is better to only view it as harmful: do not idolize it in any form. Thank you and good luck.

games are shit

>>726011224
go for a jog/ lift some weights.
>>
>>726007023
Go outside, do some exercise. By the time you come back from the shower your urge to play games should be much higher.

You don't feel dissatisfied because you've grown bored of games, you're dissatisfied because you know you're wasting time doing nothing productive. So do something, achieve something you can be proud of so you feel like you earned your gaming time. Small everyday accomplishments makes your life feel less meaningless.

>>726007023
I've accepted that I'm just killing time until I eventually die. It gives me peace.
