are we getting too old for videogames?
I can't play certain games because it requires fast reaction.
>>729763483not at all. videogames are for the old folk who've lived their lives and now need a relaxing pastime. your prime
98 bros... Only a few more years and it's our turnI'm not ready
>>729763483i'm due in january
>>729763483No. You will always be playing Fortnite till the day you die, zoomie.
>>729763882Due for what?
>not speedrunning your existential crisis in your early 20sngmi. Bring ony my 30s.
>>72976348395bro here, you've been too old
>>729763483Once a zoomer, forever a zoomer. I don't care how old you are.
>>729764026xhe's having an ass baby!
>2006 bro>just turned 19great...
>>729763483I mostly play flight sims and those are an old man's game, some of the guys I play with are pushing 70, I'm fine
I just turned 35 and have spent 90 hours on Rebirth the past week kek
>>729763483Why do young people desperately want to be like 80 years old? I never get it>BRO I'M 30 I AM LITERALLY LE TOO OLD FOR THINGZ XDThe only thing you're too old for is the fucking kiddie rides at the themepark. You're not even old enough to run for president.
just turned 34 and I've been playing some kino that I never got to play like Bayonetta 1 & 2, playing Okami now and loving it.Metroid Prime 4 was dogshit, but it feels good to know there are still a lot of great games out there to play.
>>729764213Kek this. When I was in my early 20’s I was horrified of getting older and now I’m 29 turning 30 next year and don’t really care
I'm 36. The last five years of my life have been a goddamn simulation and nothing moving forward matters.
>>729764627that's been the case for everyone. covid fucked up our perception of time
I haven't had sex yet
>>729764876Based
>>729763483You're never too old to enjoy a hobby. I played my first video games at the age of 5 on my dad's consoles from before I was born and he played them with me (and sometimes without me) despite him being 40+ at the time.>>729764876The wizard powers are so close anon.
>>729763593im 40+ and playing competitive ranked online games its not even about skill , you'd be better off than most just queueing with a pre-made
gonna keep playing till they stick me in the ground
the whole 30 is the new 70 thing is so fucking retarded and only zoomies push this idiocyyou don't just suddenly lose all the acquired skills/knowledge in games and become some decrepit fossil that can't keep up
What 30 years old games should I play the celebrate?

>>729763593Still a black virgin but I'm about to pass my exams to becom a well paid civil servant.My life might sucks less if I can finally own a home, with more time to finish my steam backlog (including the 100 euros of games bought during sales).
>>729764876I'm saving to go to Thailand.
>>729764432Age discrimination is the only discrimination that is socially acceptable for Zoomers. But beyond them, yes, there are people at every age of time who are constantly bemoaning getting older and pretend like being anything over 15 means you're an invalid cripple.
>>729763483Fucked up my back in March and now sitting for more than like half an hour causes pain. it goes away for weeks at a time sometimes but I think it's over for me.

>>729763483As a 34 year old and with modern AAA vidya being largely total garbage, yes I think I'm growing out of it. Not because I want to. Because everything is so fucking awful nowadays.
>>729765609People called John Cena old when he turned 32.

>>729763483>Retards couldn't wait 1 hour into the new year for a "U ARE GETTING OLD!" doompostEat shit anon
>>729764363Are you supposed to matter?
>>729766329Even with the few AAA games I looked forward to this year being either just okay or outright disappointments, I still found and played plenty of great games old and new to play. It's a matter of searching for the things you'll like instead of watching what's placed in front of you get worse, or perhaps just that you're in a rut.
>>729763483I'm finally graduating (or dying trying) after completely fumbling my way through my 20s so if anything I should be finally hitting my stride.
>>729766486>perhaps just that you're in a rut.Nah I've been replaying Age of Mythology. I'm still playing old games. But I realise I've lost my optimism a bit when it comes to gaming. I grew up playing the N64 and PS1. Every console all the way up to the Xbox 360 had bangers being released. I don't feel like that anymore.
>>729763593let me guess, you're fat?
>>729766374That's because athletes hit their primes relatively young, though in pro wrestling you can easily go until your mid-late 40s and still be on your game.
>38 in 3 months>life ended when I was 26suffering is foreverpain is eternal

you are the unc now
>>729763483my birthday is in september, i'm still youngwhat twenty-core games can i enjoy meanwhile?
>>729766603>RTSFair enough. Of all genres out there that's probably the one I can't defend the current state of. Godspeed and I hope you can find joy where you can in the new year.
>>729766637>and have bad geneticsthat's being lazydo a little exercise and all that pain goes away you fucking retard
>>729763593Im goingt o be 35 in 2 months and my reaction speed has barely decreased at all. Get proper sleep and stop eating like shit you retard
Being 30 is better than turning 30. The anxiety sucks, but once it happens your life probably won't change at all.>t. '95
>>729766671Irony poisoning
>>729763483Younger than me so I hope not
30's are still young45+ is when it really kicks in
>>729766805I dont understand the fuzz, 30 is when proper life begins if you dont still dont live the same way you did when you were 20
ITT: uncs pretending their "hobby" is somehow physically demanding to cope with their sedentary lifestyle
>>729766628>life ended when I was 26explain??
>>729766637>bad geneticsI 100% guarantee that you are one or more of the following:>fat>eat like shit>dont get proper sleep (durrr Im drinking caffeine before bed why am I not getting sleep durrrrrr???)>dont exercise>are on electronics the literal second you wake up, never allowing your brain a fucking second to relaxIts not genetics, stop acting like a fucking retard
>>729766953>uncsDo a Fortnite dance zoomie!
>>729766924>30 is when proper life beginsI disagree considerably. Once you leave education generally it's when your life is not going to ever change. It's the 9-5 (more like an 8-7 these days) until you retire. There's a reason Japanese people hyperfocus on high school when it comes to media. It's because it's when you're at the most adventurous time of your life and surrounded by people at the same level as you. Once you hit fulltime work nothing changes.
>>729766924Nta but I entered my 30s bitter and jaded from being an incel coming out of a sexless relationship after years of self improvement and crashed and burned. I have an easy job and shit but id be lying if i said i liked being 30>t 1993
>>729765609Why did it need to become the trend as I'm turning 30? All that good will I spent telling oldfags they weren't old when I was ten years younger for nothing.
>>729766953Its all zooms though. If you played vidya most of your life, your reaction speed barely degrades at all so long as you are ridiculously fat/sedentary
>>729766973suffered some medical thingsnow I can't feel joyI can't even feel realityit's like I'm dreamingI'm in a living hell for more than 10 years
>>729763483Honestly I believe life ends at 40. So we're gonna have another full decade to live, just don't waste it this time.
The mental age of this website screams 30 year old just look at the memes people post here
>>729767121Ur me but im 94
>>729767223Just do some breathwork. Wim Hof or holotropic. You'll fix that shit in no time.
>>729763483I don't pkay new games anymore. I just replay the same handful games I know are good over and over again. I'm turning into a wizard in a couple months.I consider myself what you would say "based".
>>729767137Why would you give a single shit about what some brain rotted retards think dude? 30 isnt old like at all, ignore the retards. I feel better in my 30s just because I stopped eating like dogshit and actually lift
>>729767070I dont understand the mindset when one thinks that you only work and sleep after you get the degree. Being in high school and uni are two completely different kinds of carefree life, same thing with being over 30 and working. Also, using Japan as some dort of a baseline is a TERRIBLE comparison. Anyway, as long as everyone is truly happy and isn't a burden and a rootcause for sadness to one's loved ones, it's ok I guess.
>>729767280Thats mainly because zoom memes are generally regurgitated millenial memes but shittier, therefore having next to no staying power. And thats saying something because a lot of millenial memes arent the best.
>>729767368>30 isnt old like at allIt does make a lot of sense for us to consider 30 old, because if you pretend that 30 is young then you're gonna continue living as if you're in college which will bite you in the ass. If you're 30, you need to focus on getting your income and relationship situations fixed soon because the possibilities are diminishing whether you want to admit that or not
>>729767368>stopped eating like dogshit and actually liftGood for you anon, I'm finally working on that now. I think it wouldn't bother me as much if I were where I wanted to be in life but it is what it is. My body is beginning to ache and I need to take better care of myself.
>>729767437Idk about you but my Mon-Fri is spoken for. Work/Gym/Food I is generally done by 8pm. After that? I'm relaxing at home ready to sleep for 10/11pm. Weekends are my only free time and I often use them to do house chores or relax. It's been this way since I started fulltime work and it isn't changing any time soon. Heaven forbid you have kids and the schedule gets disrupted constantly.
>>729767280
>>729763826>be end of dec 98>just turned 27I really have to make it this year.
>>729767540Then you're just choosing to not play video games.
>>729767598It's a blink of an eye and you're 34 and about to turn 35. Can you imagine the emotional turmoil when you realize that you're still at the same place where you were at 27?
>>729767353really doubt it but thanks anon
You should have a family by 30
>>729767849It's only a blink of an eye if you don't actually try.
>year ending in 6>meaning my 10s digit changesFug.
>>729767505>because if you pretend that 30 is young then you're gonna continue living as if you're in college which will bite you in the assI'm weird in that I dont even think of it as being young. Im just me. I also didnt really do anything in college that was too crazy, I just played vidya and watched anime with my bros. Im basically the same now as I was then, just more jaded and less optimistic because of the general state of the world. I think people just self limit way too much. "Oh I cant do X because Im Y years old". Nah dude, unless youre like 70+, you can almost certainly do whatever you really want to do if you try, outside of extreme shit like "be a pro sports professional" and such. The problem is that people rarely give their full 100% towards something. Mostly as a self defense mechanism, because it fucking hurts to fully try your hardest at something and then fail a few times. So they hold back. "Oh I could do this but [XYZ]". No, you could probably do it, you just arent willing to suffer through the pain of eating shit a few times and potentially embarrassing yourself, because your life is relatively comfortable and its easier just to coast.
>turning 35 this year
>>729767923ok zoomer
>>729767923I got mine at 33.
>>7297643631996 is the final millennial year, so as of Dec 31st 2026 all millennials will be 30 or older.
>>729767923I had a family at 0 though. Feels good to have both parents that love each other.
>>729768132What's the difference between the last millennial year and the first zoomer year?
6 months until I gain wizard powers
>>729767964For most guys, that dream is just, "I want an attractive girlfriend/wife who is in her 20's". Given they couldn't achieve this when they were actually in their 20's, it makes sense to assume that it's impossible for them in their 30's.In reality, it is possible to achieve this in your 30's and even 40's, but if we're being honest it does take either extreme luck / success / fame to get that. The only thing is that if your entire happiness in life depends upon this single point, why would you not give it your all...? I have sympathy for the men who watch streamers as a cope because rejection is so painful, but if this is the one thing you feel like you really need in life, just bear the pain and fucking go for it honestly
>>729763483Fuck you, I'm gonna be 42 on 13th
>>729763483what does "too old for video games" even meanI'm 32 and the only difference I've found is that my taste has solidified somewhat and I'm less likely to play a new game just because it's popular
>>729766329i've grown out of gaming too, but i have nothing else in life so i'm stuck here.
>>729766628my life ended at 19 when i failed army basic training. now i'm 37 and unemployed.
>>729766895i'm mid 30s and can't cum more than twice a day anymore.
>>729768315I mean, most guys in their 30s have more luck than their 20s because they generally have a more stable income and women like older men statistically. The trap now is trying to dodge the women that had 10 years of slutting around and now are trying to "settle".But I get what you're saying, it can be discouraging for sure.
>30 in 2 months>Suffer from gout so bad I become geriatric for a week>Most of the meds don't workIt sucks but at least I can manage it by not eating like a fucking slob. /fit/ has unironically helped me in that regard.
>>729768606>gout at 29christ dude, how much slop were you eating
>>729767923is what I would say if it was 70 years ago
>>729768543In my experience, the bigger the age gap is in relationships the more transactional the relationship tends to be. Because you two are naturally going to relate less to one another due to the distance in your experiences, you're going to be relying a lot more on stuff like economic power (money) and status to keep her interested. There's a reason relationships tend to diminish in quality the older the people first meet
guys you're not 60 your dick should be working
>>729768537also mid 30's. fasting will skyrocket your libido I eat once a day and I'm pretty much horny 24/7 now, even more than I was in my late teens somehow
>>729768315>I have sympathy for the men who watch streamers as a cope because rejection is so painful, but if this is the one thing you feel like you really need in life, just bear the pain and fucking go for it honestlyYea, agreed. The problem that they have I think if that they get depressed and when you're depressed its extremely easy to become self defeating. They become "inert". Thats why some of the most effective ways to deal with depressed people, in my experience, is to force them to move. Make them do something, anything, to break from the monotonous life (as long as it isnt super harmful obviously). Build momentum. Its easier to keep doing something if you are already doing it. A lot of guys arent able to get out of that rejection rut on their own and dont even realize that they are more appealing than what they realize if they just dressed a bit nicer and groomed themselves a little
>>729768935is that why indians are so horny?
>>729768754I mean if youre 35, go for 27ish year olds. There isnt that much of a difference there
>>729768606The pain is so horrible I feel like ripping off my big toe,but its the nitrates in process meat
>>729764432Well said anon. 30 years old isn't much of anything
>>729768935Wait, really? Is that why Im so fucking horny now? Ive been doing OMAD to lose weight and I thought I was just coping with another vice...
>>729768697My main triggers were fish, particular salmon in sushi, and beer>>729769205I had it in the knee once and had to go to the ER for the pain
>>729769065>and when you're depressed its extremely easy to become self defeating. I've been there.For me, it feels as if the accumulated weight of past failures is on your shoulders with each new attempt, so that once you decide to try again you can barely lift a finger without feeling exhausted, depressed, demotivated, etc. And this can make any success impossible.My way to get past this was finding minor successes. If you have a bunch of minor successes, then this starts to erase that weight / sense of dread you have when pursuing a girlfriend or whatever dream you have. But that's just my experience. Idk if anyone here cares, but maybe it'll reach somebody
>>729763826Plz stop
>>729769358yep. it also resets/optimizes a lot of bodily functions in general. that's why our overlords want us consooming more than we need to. fasting naturally fixes a lot of shit that the medical industry bankrupts people regularly over
>>729769623Speaking of resetting our bodies... I did some hyperventilation breathwork yesterday, and right after my session ended I had to go get some groceries, so I had to carry them up the stairs while my body was still tingling. After I did that it felt like a complete reset on my limbs or my mobility / flexibility / whatever. My whole body felt like jelly, super smooth and limber. It was really great, try it sometime maybe.
>>729763483I'm turning 30 on January 15th. It's a abstract kind of feel. I didn't think I would make it this far. But I'm not going to be a doomer about it. I'm just going to keep moving forward like I always do.
>>729763483Nah, we're going to be gaming for 3+ decades still. I just find it harder to justify buying new games because I know what I like and I hate a lot of modern gaming trends. When we were young, there was an overwhelming amount of great games to play. Now it feels like you're choosing between the lesser of two evils.In other news, I decided to read Dragon Ball for the first time. I watched it growing up like every other guy born in 1996, but I don't have time to rewatch 500 episodes of DB/DBZ. I started earlier this month and I'm now less than 80 chapters away from finishing it.
>>729763483I still like playing the games i liked when i was kid. Can't say the same about the modern slop being put out today
>>729769531You are not wrong but some of us are probably struggling with deeper holes than you at your worst (maybe me, maybe not me I’m not you I can’t know), and my slight successes of today are just my bad days of years ago
>>729768935Whats your once a day meal? I've been trying to get into fasting but also want to make sure the meal I eat is properly balanced
>>729765973https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xat1GVnl8-k
>>729769868Maybe, who knows.Personally, I feel like this mentality of "I gotta try the same thing over and over and over again until I succeed" is a recipe for suicide or self-destruction. Because the more times you fail in a row, the harder it gets to try again next time. But that's just me.
>>729763483I don't give a fuck, will continue playing them.
>>7297657761996 was a bumper year for good video games.
I am turning 30 soon. I love games and still do but I felt like I wasted my life until I was 27, only really found new hobbies I liked below. I suggest to everyone turning 30 if you have nothing going on to find hobbies you enjoy failing at, because you will enjoy them no matter what and your mental health would improve. My hobbies:- Working out with dumbells- Swimming- Sculpting- Learning LanguagesTo make this videogame related, Bananza is not a platformer but more of an adventure game making it inferior to all the DK Countries and 64
I'm almost 40, boys. Don't spend the majority of your 30s dating a 18-23 year old BPD egirl no matter how much you want to.
>>729766953nigga they're barely considered Millennials by being 1 year older than the oldest zoomers syabu.
>>729770123>egirl
'94 brostill live with my momstill a virginstill under 150lbsstill on 4channel since 2006God has forsaken me.
>>729767923Only like 30% of women born between 1995 and 2005 are marriage material, and most of those are already in a relationship. The risk of marriage is too great (due to divorce and alimony) to bother with the other 70% of women, so the bottom 70% of men in our generation are screwed. It is better to be lonely than to be divorced, because either way you're going to die alone, but in the former case you don't have to pay for your ex's living expenses and can hope to retire.
>>729769886it varies but typically a good balance of protein/fiber rich foods like whole grain breads and grilled fish or beef. tonight's dinner was oxtails and broc and diced potatoes
>>729769531>My way to get past this was finding minor successes. If you have a bunch of minor successes, then this starts to erase that weight / sense of dread you have when pursuing a girlfriend or whatever dream you have.Yea, thats sort of what I was getting at. Even if its as simple as making yourself something to eat or writing something for 5 minutes if you want to write shit. Just something to get started, just to get the ball rolling.>But that's just my experience. Idk if anyone here cares, but maybe it'll reach somebodyI care. Good shit Anon, it take a lot of willpower to get out of that rut on your own once youre in it. You're stronger than you know. You'll get there.
>>729769496>kneewtf it can happen in other joints?Its blinding painLAWD have mercy if you bump it
>>729768218Yeah same, still with them too.
>>729770328Gout traditionally attacks the joints in your foot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MITN-jtnGWk
>>729769496>Gout in the kneeJesus Christ anon, I'm sorry to hear>>729770328Yeah I had mine on the other toe joints which sucked but I could at least move around sorta
How many of you still have a full head of hair? I do. It's not even thinning yet. But I can't grow a fucking beardt. October 1996 kid
>>729770398Mine would swap to the other foot once the pain cycles was up on the opposite foot, my right foot would last for about 3 days making it a double gout feature sometimes
>>729768068Don’t remind me bro.Well, Sonic will be 35 and he’s still cool, right?
>>729768251It's 3 years before the turn of the millennium because 3 years old is when you start making memories.A 1996 kid could remember his parents yapping about the Y2K Problem and shit. I, as a 1997 and despite having parents who were in tech, do not.Of course it's not like a 1996's and 1997's childhoods were recognizably all that different, even with the astonishing speed tech moved at the time. But they had to pick a theme and the one for millennials is the generation that can remember a childhood spent prior to the turn of the milennium (ends in 1996 because above), but never lived an adult's life in the 20th century (starts in 1981 to fit those 20-ish years of carelessness before 2000).Simply put. A millennial is the guy who can tell you how flying with parents was before 9/11 but is bullshitting when he talks about how he bought some tickets and picked a destination, got a blowjob in the toilets.
I want a child. Not necessarily a wife, just a child. I want a mini-me to clothe and feed and help with homework and drive to school and play video games with and buy Christmas presents for and show the wonders of life.The problem is making a kid.
>>729770442>>729770398cumming helps but my family is arthritis merchants so I knew I was going to get fucked sooner or later and gout came and rekt my shit for a month fucking ibuprofen takes too long to fucking work
>>729770532I've been thinning since 20 but my hairline has stopped receding.Was kind of hoping I'd just naturally go bald. Old men with hair look odd so I don't want that but now I have the decision to shave it or just slowly let it thin away.
Turning 32 this year. Feels like yesterday I was playing Splatoon on my Wii U and going to Miku Expo 2013...
>>729763483Question, can Gen Alpha Meme?
>>729764876Based, I just did and I still would rather jack off to my furry waifu desu
>>729765776>What 30 years old games should I play the celebrate?Here’s the 1996 games anon!
>>729770123Sorry unc I will
I want to go back. I want to go back to waking up at 7 am to go to school by 9. I want to go back to watching Dragon Ball Z while doing my homework after school. I want to go back to being able to do cartwheels to impress my fellow 9 year olds. I want to go back to not needing to know Spanish in my home country. I want to go back to when video games were good.Remember going shopping with your parents at Target or Wal-Marts and getting to pick one of a hundred+ games for getting good grades? Remember how hard it was to decide what to get? Now we have more choice than ever and there are less games worth your time than ever.
>>729770836I don't know what any of those are.What the fuck is a niche fruit? Like durian?
>>729767923Young Love is a once in a lifetime thing anon, I’d say try and have a family somewhere in your 20s assuming you have your life set together and help from both side of you and your lover’s families
>>729770532i started balding in high school
Adulthood fucking sucks bros.Work is shit, I don't enjoy any of my hobbies anymore and all anyone wants to do for fun is go out drinking. Culture is shit because everyone wants to emulate niggers. I just want to go back to the 2000s and live there forever.
>>729763483VIDEO GAMES HAVENT BEEN GOOD FOR A DECADE KILL ME NOW !!!
>>729766756Keep telling yourself that unc
>>729770836Most of them are not even teens yet and their parents are millennials, so it's up to (you) to see where are they are heading currently, their future is in (you)r hands, unc.
>>729770696The Sonic YOU grew up with is coolFor me I grew up with 2000s Sonic, 1995 baby here ;)
>>729763483I'm hoping to finally get a job!
>>729771185I can’t imagine being raised by millennials
>>729771280This will be my 10th year with a job. I dropped out of college when I realized making money was based and you didn't need a degree for it.
>>729770123that should go without saying

Street clothes were in. Skateboarding, tagging and other street sports shit.2000s culture was chock-full of emulating niggers. The cool ones, at least.

1995 bros at least I got job in my mid 20s after all the /r9k/ NEET doom and gloom in the mid 2010s. Still no gf though
I'm 30 years old.corporate slavesocially awkward, tourette168 cm short12 cm full erect, dark, hair on girth, premature ejaculationnever had a girlfriend, never hug, kiss or have sexcan't even pay prostitute because it's illegal here and you have to be very sociable to even know the locationI hate life so much.when will it be over?
>>729763826I just turned 27, i dont know how to drive, im super socially awkward, no friends online or in the real world, haven't had a job since i was 19 that i just quit randomly, 0 hobbies and i haven't been to school since i was 12.I promised myself i'll fix all that this year haha
Both in 1995 here. December 27th.30 years old came and it only bothered me when I thought about it.

>>729771165>>729772313turns out I was actually slow since I was on phone and there is more input lag, I switched to desktop and Im hitting upper 160s pretty consistently. Im almost 35 and Im inebriated. Reaction time degradation is slows significanly if you do tasks that require twitch reflexes. IE, a lot of gaming. Moral of the story is that its not that youre older, its because you arent sleeping/exercising and are likely eating like shit.

>>729772906>and i'm tiredIts this. Your reactions go to shit if you are tired. Ive been sleeping great the past week. This is even worse if you are "functionally tired". As in you have sleep apnea (or just not sleeping the best/long enough) and have just gotten used to it. I was there, had bad sleep apnea and had brainfog and shit all the time. Now that Im getting sleep and exercising, I feel better than I did through most of my 20s. Seriously, dont underestimate getting proper sleep. Getting chronically bad sleep basically gives you a form of minor brain damage. Its reversible, but it takes awhile.

I firmly believe that if you become a wizard at 30, strengthen your mana, and die childless, you will be given a 2nd chance after death to go back in time to a point of your choosing and relive it all with your current personality and memories. Like a NG+ in a Tales game with 4x experience and gald and extra grade and a nearly completed monster and collectors book. This is my truth and I am sticking to it.>>729768315I gave up on love at the age of 9 when the girl of my dreams rejected me for the final time after years of pursuit. If I can't be with her then there is no point in others. She is the One. The thread of prophecy has been severed and I will have to try again at an earlier save point.

>we are close to 40 than we are to the release of Undertale, Smash 4, and Mario Kart 8I don't feel so good bros
>>729772736I'm 27 and I was just like you a few years ago. The problem is that my parents were fuck ups and that if I don't do anything then I'll be homeless. Now I got a pretty good job, a condo under my name, and am back in school. Still a virgin but idc. Point is that many people won't change until life comes at them hard that they are forced to get their shit together.
Welcome to the club. Turning 30 is probably the hardest point of your life physically up until the next big transition when you turn 60.By 30 you're officially considered "old" by 29 year olds and younger. If you didn't take care of yourself in your 20s this is when it finally starts catching up with you. Your probably bald.Your libido is slowly but surely shrinking along with your energy and patience, women are no longer interested in you if they're 29 or younger. Girls your age want babies right now or else already have some and you'll be expected to adopt them. 40s bros, is your decade easier than your 30s? To me it seems like turning 40 is will actually be easier and that your energy and attractiveness doesn't have as much as a massive drop as turning 30. Since it's going from old to older instead of from young to old.
>>729773826Yeah, my parents are the same way. They're fucking NEETs who don't give a shit and didn't teach me shit lol. I love them though
>>72977385130 is also a slugfest cause between 30-40 is when you're be careermaxxing in order to ensure by 40 you're project management
>>729763483Well since Ive pretty much lost all of my money and social life in the great year of 2012+13, Ive had a lot of time to play games. Finished all megaman battle network games and finished ffxiv as a new player in november. Not planning on actually making it to 30 so unfortunatly I have to miss pragmata. Demo was great though. battle network 3 was my favorite. but that could also be because i got it when it was new, back when i was happy.plza was so trash i complained hard enough and got a refund. anyways beer and cigarettes are great.
>>729773851I'd kill myself before turning 30 if my mom wasn't around, god that's horrible
Lmao you guys are so fucked lolGonna poor one out for you lads32 btw

>>7297634832025 was gonna be my year but then Mom had a stroke and died weeks later, vidya for this feel?
>>729775326I know that feel. I don't have a game for it though.
>>729775326Play some animal crossing
>>729764876You probably will at some point. Just dont fall for the tinder or hooker meme. Fall in love first. Then sex is actually worth it. The comfort of being loved and feeling that as you blast that meatly load deep in her pussy is heartmending. I miss my gf.
>>729770718I was born in 96 and dont remember that
You are like a little bab I will be 36 this year it's already over for me my back and feet hurt but I will still continue to play vidya
>>729775326Im sorry for your loss dude. Mom died 3 years ago for me. Cancer. Had to watch her waste away before my eyes. She held on way past her expected date. Didnt go until I told her it was ok. It wasnt ok. I want my Mom. But I knew she was suffering, so I lied so that she could finally rest. Im usually ok, but some days I get hit with a random, frivolous memory and it just fucking hits me so hard. It never really goes away, but the bad days get less frequent with time. Im sure your Mom was proud of you. Stay strong, live as full of a life as you can for her sake. Its all we really can do.
>>729775794exercise and stop eating like shit retard. Get sleep. Your body shouldnt be hurting, you are young.
>>729773851Gonna be honest, outside of it being easier for me to want to go to sleep. I don't really feel that different in my 30s than I did in my 20sThe biggest issue is my hair which was fucking me over thinning since my mid 20s
>finally got bored this year and didnt want to hit 30 and still be a wallflower>got my ear pierced>grew my hair and sideburns out>got a motorcycle >started shooting and concealed carrying>started dressing better>for once I finally feel like i didnt just sleep through the whole year and didnt do shitif you do it early enough its not a midlife crisis, its just who you are. theres still time
>>729775326I feel your pain, man. 2025 kicked my fucking ass too. My little brother died, and three weeks later, I got laid off from my job that I gave seven and a half years of my life to. I'm not really in a good place right now.
People that are from 1996+ need to fuck off already. Unironically go fuck yourself you stupid nigger.>>729776304Hope he at least dropped some good loot
>>729766192Same.>>72977322535 too, somewhat the same. Been posting since 2006 and it's definitey warped me for the worse, but I pulled up okay in life I suppose.
>>729776278Anon, Im glad youre happy. But you did the male equivalent to a slut phase.
>>729776304>>729775326for me it was my sister, just last week a few days before christmas, my mom is devasted, with that being said I feel like I got off easy, I couldn't imagine losing a mom or a brother
>>729774607Highkey based
>>729776278>got a motorcycleis this a middle aged crisis thing? i rode all through my 20s but gave it up in my 30s. its dangerous as fuck
>>729776067Damn anon. Sucks you had to go through that.
>>729776595>I couldn't imagine losing a mom or a brotherIt's awful. I just assumed that my little bro was going to be in my life forever. There was so much we wanted to do together. No man has any business dying at just 28 years old.
>>729764876You go, kingFucking slay
>>729763483I'm from '90, you'll fucking get over it.
>>729776428I also did what he did and I'm way happier, more people should do a male slut phase
>>729763483Finally.
>>729776769It's one of the most stereotypical midlife crisis things along with sports cars
>>729776850I am so sorry anon, being close to my brother myself, I don't know if I could handle it, I'm not exaggeration when I say it could drive me to suicide if it happened to me, so please try to hold on there, maybe consider getting a new puppy or something
>>729777236man good luck to any dudes riding these days. you got perma blind boomers driving 0-100kph in 3 second SUV EVs. And they all have iPads attached in the center that draws their attention. dangerous dangerous game to ride now
>>729776595You sound like you are going to be hit hard later on. Some people get a delayed feeling to it.
>>729776304Lost my job couple months ago, just started another with a way better pay increase, but holy fuck I'm trying to figure out their "system" and design standards. Thankfully haven't lost anyone in my immediate family since my dad passed over a decade ago.

>>729773092Generation Beta will probably be on here in the next 15 or 20 years
>>729777380Probably, my sister was very miserable and lived alone, was very violent, severe BPD, he husband left her but paid for her housing for her to live alone, she died alone, drinking herself to death, probably believing we didn't like her, so at least I shared videos of cute animals with her a few weeks before that happened, so our last memories together were pleasant ones

>>729764407>>729764627I'm 35 and this sounds literally like me... Is this what fate awaits all gamers when they get to their mid-30's?
>>729776304>>729776850>I just assumed that my little bro was going to be in my life forever.This is the part that you cant really convey to people that havent experienced it. I foolishly assumed that my mom was going to be around well into her 60s, 70s, maybe even 80 or 90s. I thought I had another 30 years with her. I was looking forward to seeing her as a grandparent one day. And when she passed, some stuff came to light about her as I went through her stuff. She was a really anxious person, but she hid it. I never even knew. I just saw her as this unshakable rock. She suppressed all of it. In retrospect I can see it now, but I never noticed because I was too busy focusing on my stupid fucking self. But thats youth, being selfish, always thinking you have more time.I wish I had been a better son and gotten my shit together sooner. And I wish I got to know my mom before she was my mom better, if that makes any sense. She deserved to live longer. She was good, better than me. And when I see kids in public, being snippy or spatting with their parents, it breaks my heart. I know its youth and none of my business. But. I wish I could get through to them how little time they have left with them, and that every moment counts. Its something you think you understand, but you dont. Not until it happens to you.Im sorry about your brother Anon. It sounds like he was a good guy. Live a good, full life for his sake.
>>729763593Never got this meme, some of the most skilled/talented people I know are old people that have been doing whatever thing for 40 years.I turned 30 this year and I've never been more skilled or scored higher in the competitive games I'm playing at the time. I'm literally at the peak of my videogame performance to the point where most games feel derivative or boring.If you're complaining about 'reaction time' or being a 'dad gamer' maybe you just fucking suck.
YOU ARE 30IT'S TIME TO DO THIS
>>729771081Young love is over romanticized. It's full retarded melodrama and and stupid shit that could be solved very easily with good communication and wits and the feeling of truly falling in love still feels as intense until the day you die. Basically, unless you are with a woman that you know is consistent, considerate, kind, intelligent, diligent and loyal, you are better off just fucking whores or being celibate and learning a skill set than bothering with women, especially modern women.
>>729778249>Live a good, full life for his sake.That's what I'm going to do. That's all i really can do at this point.
>>729777816Damn, thats rough. At least you have good final memories though. And, I think she knew that you all liked her, deep down. Be there for your Mom, and I wish the best for you
>>729763483im 29 and i fuckin hate video gamesi buy like 1 game a year and play it for like 2 hours and never touch it again
>>729766637Nigger how the fuck is your body failing you before 30?
>>729771081No, all love is young love. You feel the exact same about a pretty girl that likes you at 75 as you do at 15. This has been proven in countless studies.The truth is almost everyone is a half-autistic teenager at heart no matter what age they are.
>>729778253I think it's because some people don't play multiplayer games to have fun, it's all about their score and K/D ratio. So having poor reaction time correlates with their stats. low numbers = no fun. Whereas some people just have fun playing games based on the mechanics, whether they win or lose is irrelevant because they love the 'act' of gaming. Losing their reaction time is meaningless in the grand scheme of that.
>>72976348330 is the new 20

>>729775326Sucks bro. My Mom got diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer(with bone mets) in July. Immunotherapy wont work (0 pdl1 levels, no targetable mutations), and she's foregoing chemo because she doesn't want the side effects. I'm trying to cure her with every anti-cancer supplement I'm able to give her. She's alive 5 months after her diagnoses, when the median survival rate for that type of stage 4 cancer is just 2 months, and she's doing well, so I'm hoping whatever I'm giving her, something from it is working. Will know for sure when she gets a scan again in early feb.
>>729763483If you didn’t get start getting bored of video games in your mid to late 20s, there’s still hope for you.t. jaded 36-year-old
>>729778502I don't particularly consider myself competitive. I don't use 'meta' strats or weapons or whatever, I don't try to artificially inflate my score by camping or cheesing or whatever, but I do try to win.I've played videogames almost every day of my fucking life and I've never been more skilled or competitive, whether it's ranked multiplayer or story-based single player.

>>729778524New girl at my work is cute I've been thinking about her
>>729763483No. I say this as someone turning 30 on April 26th. WHo gives a shit about society's perception of my hobby? Society is barely functional as is and the people that give it underserved credence are actually retarded NPCs considering the events of the last decade. Mind,being a civilized,moral, law-abiding productive member of society that actually generates something of worth is a good thing all adults should strive for, but that doesn't translate to giving a shit about the more arbitrary aspects of societal norms.>>729765609In most societies, life began at or around 30. The modern world is just full of infantile and mentally and culturally undeveloped people that peaked early and decline after high school.>>729764876Outside of the context of true love or prostitutes, sex does not matter at all. I say this as a virgin, but one that has seen many couples that said they love each other learn to hate each others guts (and laughed all the way to the bank). Also, unless you are a permanent shut-in or genuinely mentally disturbed, you will at some point. The problem really isn't you so much as people are more isolated from one another than ever before.
>>729778564I'm not fat. I just never exercise.My neck and back are hurting all the time.
>>729778253Who is winning esports competitions your dumb coper? 40 year old grandpas? I think you could be a billionaire if you were to publish your expert findings that reaction time and reflexes actually does NOT decrease with age. Trust me you're sitting on knowledge that would shake the foundations of the entire sports industry worldwide, you really should let it be known.

>>729778431I have a 43 year old patient in the hospital with end stage kidney failure, right and left sided heart failure, liver failure, type 2 diabetes which has fucked his eyes and rotted his leg off, rotting wounds all over his body. Hes so amorphous he can't lay down even to get life saving heart surgery so he just spends his whole life sitting up in bed even to sleep. When the doctor told him he was dying he asked for a cheeseburger to help cope. All this is to say people don't fucking take care of themselves in this stupid country
>>729779141What a fucking CHAMP. You will also die but he'll die in a blaze of glory and cheese, you have no purpose in life that's just a lie to keep your mental health stable.
>>729778684That's wishful thinking, they're just as much of cowards as we were anon.
>>729779141Fuck, I need to start working out. Been working on changing my diet, but I can do better. Fuck seeing that shit all the time. That job would destroy my sanity.

>>729779293>anheroing with a cheezborgar>coward
>>729779417You are literally incapable of following quote posts aren't you?
>>729779386That doesn't mean shit. It just means that finding a woman is pretty much random, as in you have to be in the right place at the right time. This is even before factoring in the fact that you're dealing with a woman.
>>729779624If Tetsuo here can find a gf you can too. Stop the cope.
>>729779706That's not cope you retarded faggot. Coping would be saying that all women are literally the same as this retard's fiancee. The reality is that people have different tastes, different dislikes, are in different places in their life and what they might be looking for may not be easily accessible. That's a fact of life: dating advice is just worthless bullshit outside the fundamentals of looking presentable, being affable and being on the prowl. People vary so widely that you can't hope to pretend you will get results like that dying fat fuck, who fundamentally just got lucky. Even the first two requirements aren't universal really, but they generally are if you don't want a trainwreck of a woman.
>>729779910>looking presentable, being affable and being on the prowlIf its that easy then why are you so fucking mad? The only thing so many of the specimens ive taken care of have in common, besides being nasty as hell, are that they put themselves out there.This guy has two children from a prior relationship on top of his recent engagement. Hes scored at least twice in his life. Its THAT FUCKING EASY. If you cant get a girl then the only explanation is that your personality is uglier than these people's bodies.

>>729780062That guy is a fatass dying from type 2 diabetes. Any woman is with that man has zero standards. The point isn't just to go out there (which is part of finding a woman), but find a woman that meets your standards. The same shit applies to women looking for a man. It's easy if you don't have any sense of standards, but 1) why not just buy a whore at that point and 2) having zero standards is not a good thing to be professing. It just means that you have zero idea of what you want in a long-term partner and you are bumbling through the dating market just like you bumble through life. The whole point of dating and relationships is to have an end goal. If the goal is just to meet women, I mean that is easy but actually forming a stable long-term relationship that will bring children in this world who will benefit from that union isn't. It requires work like everything else. You faggots that profess that "relationships are just SO EASY" are gaslighting people that don't know better into getting into relationships that are doomed to fail or otherwise increase the stress of their lives unnecessarily. It's why I fucking hate toxic posiitivity: it's literally the same reality-denying bullshit as terminal cynicism/doomerism except with a fake smile on its face.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull dayFritter and waste the hours in an offhand wayKicking around on a piece of ground in your hometownWaiting for someone or something to show you the wayTired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rainYou are young and life is long, and there is time to kill todayAnd then one day you find ten years have got behind youNo one told you when to run, you missed the starting gunAnd you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinkingRacing around to come up behind you againThe sun is the same in a relative way but you're olderShorter of breath and one day closer to deathEvery year is getting shorter, never seem to find the timePlans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled linesHanging on in quiet desperation is the English wayThe time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to sayHome, home againI like to be here when I canAnd when I come home cold and tiredIt's good to warm my bones beside the fireFar away across the fieldThe tolling of the iron bellCalls the faithful to their kneesTo hear the softly spoken magic spells
>>729780575>but actually forming a stable long-term relationship that will bring children in this world who will benefit from that union isn'tThese people can do it. Maybe it has to do with going out and finding someone rather than sitting around crying about how hopeless it all is. You make a token effort to pretend to denounce doomerism, but the call is coming from inside the house. You are your own worst enemy and youre fucking owning yourself
>>729781385I never said it was hopeless, dickweed. I'm saying have realistic expectations and realistic goals in your relationships and don't listen to fat retards that are killing themselves.
