>>736856095Get a steamdeck
>>736856095play a simple game like vampire survivors or brotato and do this: >>736856213
>>736856095You're prob gay bro, hit up the cord with me and lets stream to each other JO'in while saying each others names.
>>736856095reading your slop is making us depressed
>>736856095>>in your 30sah I see the problem. your youth has gone and you feel like you missed out on the best things in life so no longer have the desire to do anything, as there is no point. correct?
>>736856095Why are uncs like this? Zoomzooms and alphies are able to play the same three games their entire lives.
>>736856095Dying without vidya is the most human thing we can do.
Play Nioh 2.
>>736856957nta but yes
>>736856957I am like this, but then I suddenly unearth some old game I haven't played like Hidden and dangerous 2 or Kotor and I'm mega addicted for a week before the suicidal thoughts set in again. As much as I like to pretend that I'm over games, it's simply not true, I get depressed when I'm away from them for too long and when I play a good one I feel filled with meaning and excited to discuss it and revel in how good the design is. Video games rule, don't make any boring cuck playing at boring adult hobbies let you think otherwise.
>>736856095>am I depressedHow the fuck do people go through life without being able to answer simple questions like that? That’s why women shit like “emotional intelligence” is actually real.
>>736856957Nah, I'd do the same things again except maybe make better job choices. I'd probably go into it thinking I'd change things, but then I'd play some vidya games or read some books. I'm too predictable.
>>736856095Do you have a job? Then most likely yes.Also you have too many options and unconsciously want to "make the right choice" in what to play so you ended up avoiding the issue altogether by playing nothing.Loosen up and take your "backlog" less serious like it's a job/checklist, try to play something that you genuinely just feel like playing at the moment.And finally trying out something new is hard for most people and they don't even realize it, don't be afraid to take the plunge now and then with new games.Hope this helps.
>>736856095>haven't turned the pc on in weeks/monthsDo you work really long hours or something? I work 45 hours per week but find time to play something everyday, even if it's 10 minutes. Gonna be 37 this year.
>>736856095Nope, not depressed. I am in the same condition, but when a good vidya appears I play the fuck out of it. The issue is>thousands of gamesof which 99% are AI slop. Wading through this heap of garbage is a daunting task that would deter anyone.

When is it too late?I am currently 23
>>736865113when you hit 30then it's over
>>736856095I haven't turned my PC off in years.
>>736856095>pcThere's your problem.
>>736856095The trick is to play games you know you'll like over and over rather than waste time just doomscrolling.
>>736856213worth trading a hacked v1 shitch + money for a steamdeck? I don't leave the house but for wagecucking
>>736868250*20sorry typo
>>736856095The industry is slowly fucking itself over. The games are fun (Or at least they were) but find meaning in reality. Try some retro games with 4k mods if need a game fix.
I can’t wait until I go home and I can play on my puter and watch anime
>>736856095Get a higher purpose. I don't play many games ATM. I am 25 but I found it more enjoyable to make my own game than play them. It's addicting watching something come together. Or let some other hobby consume you, when not making this game I draw
I’m 27 live with my mom and drive her car around and it’s been like this for many years. I coped for awhile by saying oh there’s always historically been familial recluses like this out there but I honestly just don’t wanna be alive anymore.
>>736870389How many instances of this are there in anime lmao
>>736860357I don't think its a simple question at all, depression is a meme for any self respecting man out there, in fact, any man that can self diagnose with depression is either a faggot or just trying to get attention.
>>736856095Should i play KCDeliverance in my 30s or there are way too many mechanics and i should just stay with witcher3 and skyrim?
Things will get better! You can make it better! I believe in YOU! Ganbatte!!!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ
>tfw in 30s and love certain games but no one makes those game often or anymore >tfw don't want to give money to dei or gay race communism games, even indies full of that shit
>>736870389What did it for me was letting it inspire you instead of just pure escapism. Took up horse riding class at my local dressage school after playing Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2. Tell myself Arthur/Tarnish is literally me and I'm gonna be like that. Did met interesting people, and made some new friends along the way.Brought me out of depression to be honest. Just having a goal or something to work towards not relating to job or just surviving day in day out.
