the older I get the less I play video games even though I have the time to. Video games bore the shit out of me. I haven't completed a game in 3 years.

I know a guy, the second he got a child he only played about 2 hours a week and had no desire to play at all really.

They sure showed me. Anyway, time to close this thread so the shitskins can fuck off into other threads, which I'll have closed. There's nothing else to do on Shitskinchan.

Because you're subconsciously becoming aware of Wirth's law and how useless modern games are. You'll probably enjoy emulating retro games.

Mostly the same, but there are some games I still play.

Video games are literally the only reason my shit ass life was ever worth anything. Without video games I would have checked out of this miserable place called earth a long time ago. There is nothing to truly look forward to in life but video games. And no these roasties are sure as hell not worth the effort. Even if they gave me free sex daily their entertainment value still fails in comparison to great video games. This is why these goddamn whores have infiltrated and destroyed the industry. They knew video games provided a much better value and purpose in men's lives.

Video Games > Women/Sex

It will pass. 30 is a milestone age. You are going to feel a lot of things. Then you'll turn 31 and it will go back to being just another year.

Virtual reality Pavlov Shack while wearing wrist weights. Table Top Simulator with the Anons from /vm/ Tabletop Simulator while exercising my stationary cycle machine.

eh there's a couple of things to this. If you're young and stuck in a gaming loop at the cost of developing yourself, yeah it's bad and you should probably quit. At some point later down the road, once you've made yourself comfortable you can afford to indulge. I see a lot peers return once career has peaked and the kids are not very small anymore.

>Video games bore the shit out of me.
that's probably because you still play the same boring formulaic mass market shit that you've always done and somehow expect it to keep challenging you. Try your hand at GSGs or CRPGs and crank up the difficulty until it become challenging.
>>
>>728920438
That’s literally the opposite for me. I’ve gotten more and more obsessed with games as I’ve gotten older. I plan to keep playing games for decades. I’ll only stop if I get arthritis in my hands or some shit and it gets legitimately painful to play games. I’ve been exercising and eating pretty good so I hope I’ll be okay.

>>728920438
I’m pushing 40 and still game regularly.
>>
>>728920438
The only time I played videogames daily was as a teenager. As an adult, most videogames are just so boring or tedious and not worth the effort. Especially PvP games that have an "esports scene" with a meta and boring, uncreative players. I'll spend 8 months straight never touching a videogame then 2 weeks non-stop binging a videogame that caught my attention.

I turn 31 in a few days.
Going through a weird mid life crisis where Im bomb rushing goals Ive had all my life but never did. Im in fuck it mode since I only have 9 years left. Turning 40 is official old man, no copes about it. And your life is kinda over at that point.

I wish I had more time. Or a second go at this shit. I was just not prepared and wasted most of my life. But I have to try otherwise I should just end it right now.
>>
>>728922730
If your life is over at 40, it’s already over at 30.
>>
life is over after 25.
If you didn't make it by then you will never make it.
And by that I mean the bare minimum:
A hot wife.
Kids (2 minimum).
A stable career and job that will feed all of them.
Your own house (rentcucks need not apply).
A dog.

Accept that you can't change the past and focus on what you can do in the future. I fucked up a lot. My gf fucked up a lot. We're 35 now. We finally managed to get ourselves where we can afford to not have to worry too much about the future. I'm gonna propose to her next week and then i'm gonna put babies in her.
>b-but she's old so the child will be autistic!
We both already are so that's a foregone conclusion.

39 here and enjoying my switch 2 and pc gaming, i don't plan to stop anytime soon personally. i'd say if you don't wanna do something just don't do it anon, being burned about playing games can happen and taking a break is sometimes important. Maybe find some other hobbies in the meantime like model-kit building or artbook collecting, life is all bout experiences and discoveries. Spice it up

marry and reproduce (as God intended)
work (to feed your family)

I play plenty of games. What else would I do? Watch sports and start widdling?
>>
>>728920438
col, why are you here then? Fucking go

I thought I got bored of vidya but I was just an easily distracted retard who went "okay but what about OTHER GAME" whenever I got 2h deep into anything
Forcing myself to actually finish games I start made vidya 1000x as enjoyable

>>728925602
>widdling
???
>>
>>728920438
I turn 32 in 4 days, no stable job, kissless virgin and I love videogames more than ever before.

Take a break, find a different hobby to pass the time then, when you feel like it, play one of your favourites. It'll come back to you eventually.

That's "whittling" with a t, retard.

It's a common misspelling. No need to freak out over it.

No, its not.
You've accidentally been calling wood carving "widdling" (like urinating) your entire life. That's hilarious!

Also this
It's surprising how many anons on here don't play because they don't have any money, and would play the most awful shit if they could afford to

>>728921802
>ya'll
...
Anyway. I feel bad because I haven't progressed as far as people expect me to and I can only blame myself because I was told to and there is no "support group" or "community" to help normal people who didn't get a career in this world where jobs are limited but workers are unlimited.
>>
Seriously, why are there so many old people here? I always assumed that most of the posters here would be between the ages of 18-21. I'm 19 and if I saw myself posting past the age of 21 I would kill myself, so I can't imagine all these guys in their mid 20s and 30s using this website and feeling okay about it.

I'm 42.
I still play a lot of games but less and less every year. I feel my age and I have serious medical issues due to genetics (not fat lol). I might not be able to play video games in a few years and despite my view on gaming has changed a lot in the past decade it still makes me sad. I don't regret I played as much as I did even if I spent a lot of it on shit games. There are so many good games and there will be many more.
Don't let any of you get bitter because of the state of things and play what you enjoy because one day you will wake up and realize you ran out of time. That is all.

Modern games don't try to challenge the player outside of the occasional arcade shit. It's no surpirse they're so boring.
