You are no longer "in the zone". You took a break from gaming and it takes time and effort to get back into it. Think of it like an athlete who has to do warm ups.

shift+clicking threads on /v/ is just more satisfying than playing modern vidya. am looking forward to bloodstained 2 but that's about it. been getting back into shape but my legs are too tired to go riding my bike around between cardio days. rest days coming up this weekend so im gonna go ride around downtown and sweat my ass off in the summer heat. probably get a sunburn too while im at it

Because there's absolutely nothing to play that's good.
>>
>>741332818
had a problem like this but wasn't story related, i just ran out of podcasts because all the ones i used to listened to got repetitive, retarded, or turned into shills. so id spend hours looking for stuff to listen to but find nothing interesting or long enough to put on and so gave up on gaming too. tried audiobooks but those required more concentration than a podcast

>>
>>741333568
genuinely better that you wank it for 3 hours instead of killing yourself with coke or some shit, it's clear you have severe issues with discipline and self-control and castrating yourself will just make you find a replacement addiction
>>
>>741333498
It doesn't help that a lot of games have a bunch of systems in them that make it even harder to get back into after you've taken a break.

I can't communicate the regret you'll feel about how far behind you are in investing/career growth when you're not enabled anymore, (because you'll lie/cope about how it's never going to end for you) but remember that the clock is ticking for you.

It depends. When I was making minimum wage + $1 I would occasionally serve maybe 4 or 5 customers over 7 hours and spend the rest of the time doing fuck all. There were rushes, sure, but if I had to stay I got paid more. Now in my career I have some days/weeks that I also do fuck all in, but also sometimes I have to work 100 hour weeks and since I'm salaried I don't get anything extra. HR in particular is usually also not that well compensated comparatively, although it is pretty easy work.
>>
>>741333812
no, you should work on your discipline and self control
i'm not a psychologist or therapist or in any way so i can't give you a lot of advice, maybe try to make a routine and slowly phase out wanking more and more
like if you wank it thrice a day, try doing it twice for 3 weeks, then once for 3 weeks and after that every other day, something like that idk how bad is it for you
getting something else to distract you is also very useful

You deserve your fate, we told you to invest. You didn't listen, for years you wasted your little time trying to "dunk" on bitcoin and now look. You are a slave to a corporation. And too much of a pussy to ever escape it or put an end to it.
Have a nice shift!

>>741333109

oh you're really upset about it huh? how much does your job make you want to kill yourself exactly?
don't worry if you work really really hard I'm sure you'll make middle manager or whatever term they use to "dignify" their slaves in the modern days.

Im technically not a NEET myself but it feels like being one when I work at home and sleep/wake up whenever I want. My work is also just writing fantasy novels that I always have fun doing anyway (its my passion and greatest hobby aside from gaming). I write four days and laze around the other three. I earn enough to buy whatever I want and overall have a very comfy life in my house with my pets

Cant speak for that anon but neet life is comfy while it lasts you just need the means and the mindset for it if I'm too much of a pussy to kill myself when it ends that's on me just another crazy rambling bum on the street or I manage to figure something out there are plenty of miserable neets likely with untreated adhd but I live everyday getting exactly what I wanted out of life and am as happy as I could possibly achieve in this world but it simply isn't sustainable and I don't pretend it is and because of that you need some kind of out when it all crashes down on you.

This is me. I have this awful habbit of not playing a game (often in the last area) and then restarting it 2 years later because I "forgot" how to play and I just get tired of repeating it all again and leave it alone for another year or 2. The worst part is I could easily just get back into the old save but my brain just refuses to. Is this autism?
My backlog is getting heavy
