It's my birthday today. Who here /30+yearoldgamer/? Whatcha lads been playing?
>>738379980I do not play video games anymore, most of the time I spend rolling around in my wheelchair, taking medications or sitting at the window to watch young whippersnappers running around outside.Essentially I have reached the point at 31 where I am waiting for my inevitable demise. It was a great life. I have played over 300 games and I have jerked off to over 5000 hentais. It was a great life.
>>738380360Death comes for all us
>>738379980happy birthday. currently i play emergency cleanup co., its okay but way to short for a cleaning game ,a blind playthrough takes around 5 hours which is insultingly short.
>>738380360pay a prostitude to lick your ears and nibble your earlobe, its invigorating

Been playing Warhammer 3 lately.Im still learning, but the Dawi are by far my favorite faction so far. I really like how their units look.
>>738379980Been playing Vampire Crawlers, DUSK, Steamworld Heist II and emulating God of War 3. Is Ascension any good?
>>738381563Ascension is good but feels very unnecessary. It's the peak gameplay wise of the tradition GoW formula and artistically it holds up very well. Lacks the narrative strength of the other 3 games.
>>738379980MegaMan Battle Network and Valheim when the guys can be fucked We're all getting laid off so we're beginning to have more time again[/spoliler]
>>738381658Cool, I'll give it a shot. Cheers anon.
>>738379980hnggghh cant wait to post this next year when finally 30. Ive been waiting for SO LONG
>>738379980modded elder scrolls
>>738379980My birthday too! 8th of may chads rise the fuck up!unless your're a a 7th of may virgin gaylord. kill all 7th of may nigger loving trannies!
>>738382964i'm running that modpack toothough i'm wondering if theres even a point to finishing the main quest, i think ive seen everything in the game there is to see just through fucking around
>>738379980Turned 30 on the 26th. So far I've been playing Nier Replicant v1.22 and a lot of Asterigos: Curse of the Stars and loving it. The latter is definitely on the easier end of Soulslike games but I do like the usage of Greco-Roman society, culture and mythology to build an entire virtual world and having the protagonist be a redheaded waifu from a Germanic tribe that settles in the region and acts as mercenaries, with the goal of looking for her missing father and brothers who went into an ancient city cut off from the rest of the world and living in its own bubble for 1000 years, with various political and social factions vying for control over the city where time stopped, Aphes. It's like Vagrant Story but a soulslike and I love that. It runs pretty well on Unreal 4, getting a near constant 120 FPS with frame gen and 90-100 FPS without, with some minor stuttering here and there but very very rarely. I recommend this game wholeheartedly. Get it on a sale if you must, but it's a good game. Not earth-shatteringly great, but the type of high quality AA games that should be the norm.Nier Replicant is fantastic. It's actually inspired me to try my hand at game dev and make my dream game, although I want to start with smaller more manageable projects to get a grasp on things. I really love how you can tell Yoko Taro loved games like the God of War 1 & 2, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, Diablo, Resident Evil and Shmups enough to put them into what is his best game and put a very intriguing and emotionally moving story filled with a good set of protagonists with good chemistry and various side characters that bring a lot of charm into the game. The Remakes music is good, but I prefer the OG's music just because it's a lot more primal and primitive, which fits the setting better. The graphics are great and it runs wonderfully, always hitting a consistent 60 FPS. I HIGHLY recommend this game. Between Gestalt and Replicant, both are Platonic ideals of good gaming.
>>738384221the mq content is unique with prefab dungeons rather than randum ones so it's a bit different in that wayalso the writing alone is usually worthit always gets a comfy chuckle out of me
>>738384621(Me)This is a picture of Asterigos. The protagonist, Hilda reminds me of a mix between Merida from Brave and Aloy, both in the fact that she's a warrior princess of sorts with a heart of gold and that she's a redheaded waifu. It's almost certainly intentional but I still found it kinda cute, especially when she emotes. Her and Kaine are wife material.
>>738381563>Steamworld Heist IIthose niggas up to some weird genres with steamworld lolsteamworld dig managed to make me play the anno version of it, and i don't really even like anno
>>738379980Are you a wizard now?
>>738379980Ultima underworld, it is the ultimate rite of passage for old heads.
>>738379980Maybabys of the world RISE UP!Total War Warhammer 3 with a ton of mods is my jam these days. The Empire got turned into ww1 germany and im running around as Nagash. I just got my poo pushed in by Volkmar the Grim.Jokes on him, ill be back.
>>738380360A life well lived, King.

>>738379980Nothing. I launch a game and it's too complex to learn. So many stuff to keep track of. It's too tedious. I'd rather go back to mindless scrolling because it takes less effort.I still know how to play some multiplayer games and their mechanics, but they cause too much stress on the body at my age. So I avoid them too now.I've started Dark Souls III recently and really love the game. Unfortunately, I got stuck at the Abyss Watchers or whatever his name boss. I had to drop the game for that reason.Life is miserable after 30.
>>738385445Summon a helper if youre having trouble.
>be 32>got a night shift job>basically sit in an empty office all by myself and stare at monitors from 7PM to 7AM>only human contact is through phonecalls and texts>during those 12 hours im only doing any actual work for maybe 6 of them, the rest of the time im reading, posting on 4chan or watching anime>get 2 days off for every 2 shifts worked>feels like i have way more free time than when i worked normal hours>pay is decentSouds comfy at first but>every doctor and therapist ive been to told me to get out of there asap because its going to ruin my health eventuallyThanks for reading my blog. Im playing Baldurs gate 3 right now. Laezel looks surprisingly cute with a hat.
>>738379980I don't play games anymore, they dom't make them like they used to back in my day
>>738385619Therapists are always cunts that want you behave exactly the same as everyone else, they suck the joy out of life.
>>738385619Night shift only fuck you up if you attempt to maintain a normalfag life on top, i.e reversing your sleep schedule every week to keep up with the normoids.Hence why all doctors tell you to get out of dodge because they cannot fathom a person just living the graveyard shift and ditching the socializing
>>738379980i bought operation abyss this golden week and its just ok but i like the characters in classic mode when you equip the gear it shows up on them
>>738379980I had a vision for MMBN7 once>Lan's son Patch is a bully at school because his dad is a big shot and they're rich so he treats others poorly.>Realizes he's lonely.

>>738385880NTA and I also work nights. The worst part is when everyone comes in for dayshift during the week. I want to go grab a coffee but I dont want to talk to anyone so I suffer...
>>738379980Turned 30 last year. I didn't realize 90% of posts in these threads were on a visual spectrum invisible to anyone under 30. I'm glad I'm finally part of the group.I mostly play Going Medieval. Recently I've been playing a tower defense game that is pretty shit but the ost keeps me coming back.
>>738385619I love working the graveyardshift, i'm doing it for over a decade now and its the best i ever felt
Is it wrong to jerk off on your birthday?
>>738379980happy birthday kid.currently grinding through "bound by flame"sad that it's a promising game, made by incompetent frogs.>2014 yet using 2006 xbox360 tier level design>everything is a series of tiny corridors to limit how much needs to be renderedonce you notice that, it's hard to continue.(Had the same issue with Kingdoms of Amalur; though the MMO quest design was obnoxious after a little bit)
>>73838561912 hour days are completely brutal, even if you're not "doing anything"I picked up a 2nd WFH job to pay down debt, i've been working 5am to 5pm since last october.all that sitting will fuck up your back, you will gain weight, human beings were not designed for this.
>>738386874Only if you're not doing it infront of a mirror.
I've tried bros, I've tried...I'm 33 now still alone, virgin and miserable.I don't even shower or change my underwear anymore. I don't give a shit, there is no point.
>>738379980Its my birthday is the lowest form of (You) farming
>>738386874It's wrong to jerk off to anything but the best of your collection on your birthday. Like the old addage says, "A nut for your birth is good for your girth."
I’ve been playing simpsons hit and run, and beta Minecraft recently. Deadlock is fun too I’m also trying to get more into FF14, especially the “social” side of itLet me ask you something bros, how do you deal with the feeling like you’re too old for shit? Whenever I want to be social in a game I feel like a creep or just too old.
>>738386602Been playing through DaS2 again lately and I didn't expect the community to be so lively, but I've already had a bunch of fun invasions and interactions.Don't give up, skeleton!
>>738387050Human beings where not designed for 90% of jobs on the market right now.Out brain is 10000 years old. We were designed to hunt, plant and forage
>>738387050Im working 16h night shifts and im fine so far. I've been doing it off and on for about 6 years now.
>>738387141Not when it is accompanied by the perfect vidya related image and a decade milestone.
>>738387510you're probably not as fine as you think you are, but regardless, kudos man -- that sounds rough.
>>738379980I've been emulating the Saturn version of Symphony of the Night on my Switch now that tico exists and we have a stable core. The new areas and enemies are neat, but I really want that Rainbow Robe. Happy birthday, bud!
>>738387050At least that anon gets "2 days off for every 2 shifts worked".I only get one day off per week, unless it's a busy season in which case I'll work 13-18 hours a day with no day off.Never work for your parents.
>>73837998032 here. Been emulating games that I never gave a shot in the past when I was younger. I'm currently going through FF6 and I certainly see the appeal of it.
>>738379980>finished Pragmata a few days ago>starting Super Mario Galaxy 2>I also have Mario + Rabbids and Metroid Prime 4 on the backlog>waiting for a good sale to buy a Switch 2>also looking into buying an AC for my room and a second monitor>have vacations from work next week>all of a sudden feel super down, borderline depressed>don't feel like doing anything, barely working, just watch streams and videos to waste my timeGod I hate these sudden sad moods.
Wife's birthday waa yesterday. We had reservations at the new fancy italian place. Her fish dish was 75 bucks and I thought it was mediocre. My pasta was good though. Not 30 dollars good though. Still got in some Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead.That's all I've been playing lately. Playing the sky iskand extraction mod. Pretty fun. Get from point A to B and loot along the way.
>>738379980Multiple Etrian Odyssey gaems
>>738388330Just say no?>>738385880>swapping sleep schedules God it sucks so much. That's the reason I quit being a supervisor for a quality lab. It was like 7p to 6a hours 4 days a week.Spending time with my wife on the weekends was ass. We either did stuff in the morning before I went to sleep, or at like 8 at night, and I hate doing stuff right when I wake up. Then she'd complain that I wouldn't keep a better schedule or go to bed right when I got home from work.
>>738379980Happy birthday, fren!The announcement of Evercold and upcoming Ultimate has reinvigorated my desire to raid in FFXIV. So, I've been learning M12S which I skipped and been farming the new EX.Been playing a bit of Magic too. Might be going to a tournament at my local game store this weekend. We'll see.
>>738388710Thats a great game.I miss this Lil nigga like you wouldnt believe
>>738379980Happy birthday!At 34 I've been playing Overwatch, Halo MCC, Halo Infinite, F-Zero 99, and F-Zero X lately. Also looking forward to the new Star Fox, even if it is basically just 64+. Might be enough to make me buy a Switch 2.Other than that it's work, class (changing careers), and taking care of my wife and daughter.
>>738388759Try getting better sleep
