Will you still be playing vidya at 33, anon?
>>729665615This dude is 74 now
How is he not homeless?
>>729665615I'm 30 so probably. There's no age limit on enjoying games, it's only if that's all you do or if you're still getting angry and into retarded debates with 18 year olds at 33 is when you need to evaluate yourself.I miss message boards so much. Fuck reddit and discord for killing them.
>>729665615I'm 34 and enthusiastic for games all day every day. I know that people that gave games like fortnite their time don't care about video games the same way so I genuinely don't expect younger people to play games other than recreational dismissive pleasure at my age. In all honesty, I don't expect games to be a major industry in 30-40 years anymore. The advent of internet platform dependency has made it extremely unappealing to have critical passion upon anything.
>>729665615SOVL
>>729666132>The popularization of the Internet at large has made passion perceived as a bad thingI agree and it makes me big sad.
>>729665615If you teach me how to age backwards
>>729665913>random meltyuh oh this does not look good anon...
>>729665913you miss message boards because it gave otherwise irrelevant trannies a power trip over othershell, reddit still has that culture alive and well, if that's what you want
>>729666814It's annoying that it always devolves into that, or some popular user with a fuckton of posts making some shitty inside joke. I just want to talk about the fucking game. This place is no exception, there are games you cannot make threads about because it devolves into some other irrelevant bullshit.
>>729667051There was almost an Ape Escape thread yesterday but for some reason most of the posts were about WW2
>>729667051Master Duel threads all talk about the game
>>729665615I'm 33 right now
>>729665913>I miss message boards so muchNo you fucking don't. There's a reason why you're here and there's a reason why message boards died out. Nobody could deal with the faggotry anymore
>>729667238this post made me realize im 33 too
>>729667238I'm 34 and still playing vidya.
35 and video games are the only thing I have left in my life. I'm a failed loner who became a normalfag who then failed at that. I'm completely checked out and wish I would have never tried, because like my gut knew it wouldn't pan out. All that time fucking wasted and now I'm way past that point in my life where I don't have the time or energy to do anything else.
I'm 43,
>>729665615Im 34
>>729667389I'm sorry lad. The only condolence I can offer is we can talk about your favorite games.
>>729665913>uses forums but hates redditlol
>>729665615I'm 37 and I finished over 140 games this year.
>>729665913i still use one forumalso day job is fucking great. I want the sticker set
My fellow millennials... When did things get like THIS?
>>729665615I wish I was autistic enough to enjoy sperging out
>>729665615>will you be playing vidya at 6 years agoyes
>>729665615I’m 37 and streaming FF 16 from my pc to 4k tv right now. I transitioned to couch gaming for the comfort factor
>>729667694I miss the genuine blissful cringey retardation of the old internet instead of the pitch black oversocialized dirges of today
i'm 33 and was suicidal all year
>>729665784A Gamemaster, homeless? Tch…
i'm 36 and a virgin. im also 400+lbs and rarely leave my apartment. im a complete life loser
>>729668072How do ya pay 'da bills?
>>729665784probably lives in a group home
>>729668121it's complicated. the apartment im in is in a building owned by my parents. a few years ago the pressure from my parents to do something with my life was too much so i broke down and went to community college. im currently on my 3rd year on a transfer program i was supposed to complete in year 2, but ill be done this upcoming semester and going to a proper uni. i hate it though since compsci sucks ass and i hate programming i just had no other choice. unfortunately they offer these government loans which i racked up to pay my bills with and am now 30k in debt. i also revolve a few credit cards totaling about 12k in debt on those. might just blow my brains out
>>729667891how was your transition?
>>729668021Anon, just wanted to say I hope for thr best for you. Don't kill yourself. There are people you can connect with, dreams you can make and follow, happiness you can find. Again, I hope for the best for you.
>>729665615Unless I manage to leave this soul-sucking job, no. I'm 29 and I barely consume media these days (other than 4chan shitposts). I just work 60 hours a week, shitpost, fap, sleep 6 hours a night, rinse and repeat.
>>729667694What a huge bitch. Gamemaster Anthony is light years ahead of this nerd.
>>729668278I know it sounds cliché but my message here >>729668291 applies to you and others as well. Hope for the best for you.
>>729668278:(
>>729667694The guy writing this thesis on why he's pathetic is worse than the guy he's complaining about.
>>729667238>>729667325>>729668021hello my fellow 33ers. 2026 will be our year won't it...
I am nearly 40 years old and while I do still play vidya, it's far less than in my younger years.
>>729668278>>729668021Keep gaming, anon. Don't let Chris Chan outlive you.
>>729665705>2008 was 67 years ago
34 and still playing. Playing Astro bot with my son right now
>>729665615idk I'm 29 now and browse the steam store more than I actually buy or play any games these days
>>729667694Jesus christ, way to over-dramatize and over-analyze a single fucking shitpost. What a retarded nigger

>>729668021There's only 2 days left to make that new years resolution you made at the start of the year come true. So chop chop.
I'll be playing MonHun and 2hu for as long as they're coming out
>>729665615I asked this question when I was 20...back in 2010.
>>729665615I'm 35 so what's up?
>>729669569Thoughts on focus mode possibly being a mainstay?
>>729667282Not him, but you're too young to remember how good message board culture was in the 90-2000's. Not everything was a monotone culture of conformity under the roof of Reddit or Resetera.
>>729667115That's the /v/ I love
35 here. I use my computer more for video editing and 3D now. I've switched over to Nvidia's studio drivers. I still play games but it's nothing like when I was a teen. I do more gaming at the local arcade now, the atmosphere is right for it.
>>729667051>>729667115That requires jannies to do their work on punishing those purposely going offtopic from the thread. But that will never happen since Jannies are self serving and only will operate in threads they have a particular interest in.
>>729665615nyo
>>729665615I am. I do.
I'm 36, employed, own a house, enough for retirement. No kids, no wife, no romantic obligations or aspirations. It's me and the games till I kick the bucket.
>>729669830Like most gimmicks, I don't think it'll be a mainstayIt doesn't affect guns at all which I enjoyed in Wilds.It's an active detriment to Hammer... The games allow you to left-stick snap a charge attack but Focus slows down your charge SWaxe you only use it to point your FSR otherwise left stick does all you need againLance doesn't need to touch it at all...All in all it feels overstated. What I'm really hoping for is the Apex gang in Wilds to become series returnees. I liked ALL of them and Arkveld too.
>>729667694he's got the kiwifaggot typing style
I'm 30, gonna be 31. All I do is play gacha games and make autistic spreadsheets for personal use. I'm burnt out on POE, 1 and 2. I used to enjoy seeking new friend groups in the games I played, but now I don't feel like I'm up to par to do that anymore.But I'll keep playing video games. It's a good distraction. I enjoy seeing what other people make, especially if there's passion in it.>but you said you play gacha gamesWuthering Waves certainly feels passionate
>>729665615I'm still playing them at 66
>>729670212Chances are you're going to have physical/mental ailments that ultimately hinder your ability to play fastpaced games as you get into your late 40's onward. It's why a lot of older people tend to just stick with MMO's. It's going to be fascinating to see what type of issues will arise in millennials gamer (who grew up from birth with vidya) in 20-30 years compared to prior generations.
>>729665615>35>only play rhythm games and platformers because I don't want to learn anything newBeing old sucks. I can't even play rhythm games without headphones because my wife gets mad, so I can't even hear my key sounds for timing.
>>729667238yeah, but do you play vidya?
>>729667694Imagine being so pathetic that you need to take it out by seething about a random dude who is just having his fun without hurting anybody.
>>729670373based
>>729670376Not too worried about that, I only play strategy games, sims and single player rpgs.
I'll be 33 within 6 months, so yeah. I work and I don't have any kids so I have tons of time and money for vidya, it rules.
>>729667694i stopped reading when he mentioned his dick
>>729669851i'm 35 and all i remember is those communities melting down when a girl joined from the interpersonal drama, power tripping mods ruining an otherwise great discussion about something random, or faggots figuring shit out and not sharing it with anyone.i don't miss that at all.
>>729670376>play DKC1 at 33 yo, first time since many years I've done this game>struggle at the parts with the 180* rotating barrelsowari da
>>72966561536 and still going strong, i also touch a lot of grass and don't smoke, i do all-nighters with my buds on a regular basis whenever i have free time.I don't get the age doom posting, i see a lot of younger people who are in way worse shape than i am.
>>729670373If you're not larping this may actually be good for you. I remember reading a research on how vidya affects players. And since it was an actual scientific research I didn't understand 80% of it but aside from talks about tennagers there was also a conclusion that vidya may be a good thing for older people as a prevention against demention because it demands brain activity with constant problem solving and multitasking.
>>729667694i'm not reading all of that. i'm sorry you've turned into a middle aged gossip queen
>>729665615No, sadly I finished my backlog
I miss that kind of cringe happy go lucky attitude that was more common before phones with internet got popular. Now everyone is either irony poisoned or too retarded to have fun onlineI'm 33 already and try to play one new game every day, don't see a reason to stop
>>729667694Anthony is based, this guy is a little faggot. Hope he gets better and stops being such a little bitch, I feel like you only see this mindset in people who never had any real adversity in their life so they never develop the ability to appreciate the good in it
people keep trying to make feel bad for not being married, but my closet friends wives/girlfriends have all flirted with me and I would rather die alone than be a cuck stuck in a relationship with some whore
>>729670781Never could play those platformers, even as a kid. Which is probably why I stuck with Ultima, Dark Sun, Final Fantasy, etc. It's true that your brain dulls as you age, but if you're still having fun with the games then it's cool, don't stress it.
I am 40 i have a job wife and kid.And i still play Video games Watch Anime and jerk of to Furry and Futa porn (Although i dont like or associate whit actual furries)Although id do openly watch anime and play games No one in my life knows what i masturbate to as is usually the case.(I used to fix PCs and i saw what other people jerked of too and i never told anyone,)You dont become a normie over night when you have sex and get a job.You just have less time to be a Nerd or Degenerate.
>>729667694KWAB
>>729671168bingo
>>729670256>Lance doesn't need to touch it at all...Except focus mode is at its most broken when used on Lance and Gunlance, it completely invalidates the choice between normal and high stab when you can directly aim where to hit, which is why the lances are as good as they are in WildsAlso >It's an active detriment to Hammer [...] Focus slows down your charge...in a game where free aim can allow Hammer to consistently aim for the head now and massively increase KO output Also>fast weapons like DB almost don't have to position at all anymore due to free aim>GS TCS positioning requirement massively reduced due to focus allowing you to snap into any direction while releasing>guarding weapons can change direction on the fly This, along with wound pops causing a stagger/topple in most cases makes it so no monster below 9* can keep up with hunters and lets you speedrun hunts even when undergeared. I want to believe you but Focus feels like Capcom opening Pandora's box where casuals that started with Wilds AKA the source of 90% of its sales will mass complain if it gets removed.
>>729665615Bitch i'm 45.
>>729670683>power tripping mods ruining an otherwise great discussion about something random, or faggots figuring shit out and not sharing it with anyone.That happens here as well anon. It's one of the reasons why 4chan in general is shit due to how jannies pick and choose when to apply rules.
>>72966561535. My interests branched out so I don't play as much as I used to, but I don't see a reason to stop entirely. Fun things are fun.
>>729668021It's not going to get any better, anon. Trust me.But I speak from experience when I say you WILL grow numb to it if you push through.
>>729670989in my immediate family not a single motherfucker had a happy marriage, either they got divorce raped or got stuck with a nagging bitch so I feel you
>>729665615I'm 32 and haven't played a single game all year. I also haven't played any games released after 2017.
>>729667891>I transitionedYou caught yourself in that trap.
>>729671531I've never met anyone in a happy marriage, but I've read enough on the internet to know that they do exist. While I would never personally get married, I think the doomer outlook on marriage is a bit dramatic.
>>729669851I was on CBR forums back in 05 and 06 and while I did have some good times there, I quickly got tired of the moderation and the weirdly parasocial relationships other users were getting into over there, especially in the general threads. It's mainly when I discovered 4chan and how freeing it was to speak uncensored that I realized I was done with forums/message boards
I'm 35 and spent the past couple years going hard on gaming after spending most of the 2010s abstinent. Sometimes, I'll save up PTO and take a few days off right before or after the weekend and put in 70+ hours and return to work exhausted, lol. Life is busy and about to get even more so with college classes for a non-shit career, so gaming is about to become nearly impossible for a while.
>>729671732you might think i'm being dramatic, but you haven't had all your close friend's wives make passes at you when your buddies aren't looking. I don't say anything because it'd probably ruin their lives. one of them had like 3 or 4 kids with the same girl that told me she didn't want his kids.
34, I watch anime more than I game desuI don't have much energy to game after work anymore
>>729667694>needing dick pills at 30jesas christ
>>729671881Yeah, been there, not doubting you. Just saying that I see a lot of doomer shit on marriage nowadays. But I think there is enough evidence out there to say that bad marriages don't happen everyone. A minority of people of definitely are better for it, so I don't think discounting entirely is good for people.
>>729667238I'm going to be 33 in exactly 16 days...
>>729671881>I don't say anythingGood. Don't. You'll notice their passes are always verbal, never something concrete like a text.This is because they hate you and they hate that their partner is friends with you.Because their partner can see how freely you still live. So they WANT you to say it to their partner so that they can set the narrative that you're bullshitting and get their partner to fall out with you. Fuck me, they're such cunts anons.
>>729670878literally impossible
>>729665615im 42 and still play every goddamn, faggot
>>729670878impossible unless you are a casual with a backlog of less than 10 games
>>729667574forums at the worst are still way better than subreddits>captcha can't triforce
>>729674978>>729674498572 + a bunch of demos. I'll have to cave in and buy a Swicht 2 or PS5 if I want to keep going or just wait for upcoming stuff.
>>729668021Have you considered transitioning?
>>729675396>572bullshit
>>729665615I'm 36 and they'll have to pry my mouse/controller from my cold dead hands.
>>729665913rpg codex is right around the corneryou can fuck off anytime
>>729675472git gud
>>72966561542 and still playing this is a silly idea, like asking if you'll still read books or watch movies at a certain age
>>729665615I'm 34 and I still do. I hate going through a day without playing vidya.
>>729665615I'm 34 so yeah. Do I give a single fuck about what's popular? No, but I was already fallong out with that shit 15 years ago. I know what I like and I stick to it.
>>729665615I'm 37 and I'm spent most of the evening playing Ace attorney chronicles.The cat flap gun twist was really dumb.
>>729665615I’ll still be playing vidya in my 80’s.
>>729665784bet he's a senior dev at blizzard now
>>72966561532 year old boomer here. I've given up gaming.Pic related was the last console generation I followed religiously and I hated it.Wii U: Underpowered and the tablet gimmick sucked. Nintendo also went mask off and told their hardcore fans to piss off. As a result, never buying a Nintendo system again.Xbox One: A complete disaster despite the Xbox 360 being awesome last gen. Microsoft also went mask off and showed they never cared about making good games either.PS4: Better than the other two consoles but that also meant Sony didn't have to try as much to win over gamers. Just having a more powerful box is boring as fuck and now some games were shipping broken or shoved DLC in your face. Pass. 3DS: Shit handheld. Overpriced at launch ($250??!?!!?). Games always ran at sub 30fps and had one analog nub. Gross. PS Vita: A beast but the good games ran out fast. Got replaced with weeboo Jap crap for most of its life. Failure.I couldn't take it anymore. If I want to play games I will happily boot up older consoles or stick to PC.
>>729665615Just turned 52, are ya winnin' son? Now hop on your new PC I bought you and run some Arc Raiders with me. I ordered Pizza!
>>72966561535 and replaying New Vegas. Gonna get my Kings outfit soon and then the game really begins.
>>729670074I wish my country had arcades...
>>729671168how do you jerk off while having a wife?
>>72966723835 year old doomer here.
I'll be 38 in february and basically I'm going to play video games until my brain doesn't work anymore. what else is there in life? work like a slave so you can't own a home? nah. maybe I'll touch grass when god parts the heavens and fixes our fucked up society, until then it's neet mode, which I know is only doing my more harm than good but it is what it is, at least I'm not homeless. you kids reading this won't understand until you're middle aged how fucked things really are, unless you're already a special snowflake who comes from wealth or gets lucky with opportunities that the rest of us won't get.
I'm playing vidya at 36.
>>729668021No reason to do it these days. There is a good chance AI singularity will happen in our lifetime now. It will open up tech to fix anything that's wrong with you. You can even live in virtual fantasy worlds at that point. It's worth waiting it out. If it doesn't happen the end result is same as if you were to an hero. So you have nothing to lose by waiting.
>>729679840>Stay alive so you can enjoy the slopcube!Dude, come on.
>>729666814>discussion forums with high quality discussion and a severe lack of underage third worlders screeching "TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY JEW NIGGER" at everything cause said underage thirdies to melt down in shame and angerSorry Pablo, but us actual humans enjoyed being able to discuss our hobbies in peace without some attention whoring shiteater trampling all over it.
>>729679840Based. AI will create real waifus. Now is the best time to live.
>>729670439Yes. Played The Temple of Elemental Evil today.
I'm already 33I turn 34 next year
>>729679840If perfect virtual fantasies are on the table then that also means endless torture is also on the table retard. You could literally end up as a sims in a bored 12 years old kid's world and be tortured endlessly.
>>729665615I’m playing vidya at 38.
I'm 30 and yes. You'll have to pry my Doritos encrusted controller from my could diabetic hands
>>729675805no Infinitron, I won't read your Outer Worlds 2 threads
>>729665615I'll be dead most likely
>>729680209I don't mind AI but I can't imagine something more dull than sitting in of those AI threads on /v/ or /g/ and create images let alone anime girl images.I'd rather just kill myself to be frank.
>>729665615I'll be 40 next and I still play almost everything relevant.
>>729681220*next year I mean. Playing metroid prime 4 right now and I can't believe how much worse it is than the original.
>>729680860Who said it's just images? We're seeing AI make videos TODAY. One day it will absolutely make video games using waifus too.
>>729665615I'm 39 and playing games. Not as much as I used to but I still do.
I'm 54 and I still play everyday
>>729668021Buckle up, you're not 53 yet.
>>729681290the issue with ai is that it's not schizophrenic enough to produce anything new without rehashing what already exists. I love SF bimbos as much as the next faggot but even i can't get off to Chun Li's BBL for the next 40 years.
>>729665615I'm 35, I don't even enjoy video games anymore but I still try to play a game from time to time in the hopes that it'll bring the joy back
