Best games for NEETs or/and shut-ins?
factorio
final fantasy. that's the game he played in the anime i believe. op didnt actually watch the anime tho because hes just a larper
>>743370820porn games

>>743370820final fantasyVNs yume nikki and rpgmaker gamestouhou
>>743370820 Not playing games and instead suffering on /v/
>>743370820jrpgs. a genre forbidden to wagies (too long to finish) and normies (anime visuals)
>>743370820One of those shitty competitive multiplayer games like Escape from Tarkov, or alternatively some niche building game like Stormworks.
Playing 5 Gachas nowadays.But I also get NEETbux.
>>743370820Kovaak
something that will truly suck your soul like wow (or any mmo really) or football manager
Osrs. Perfect for losers with a skewed value on their time. Speaking from experience of course
>>743371113no he played an mmo ur a giggler fiddler
>>743370820i recall having a fun time learning dorf fort, elin and rimworld. Open ended type shit that generally has no ending
>>743372435it was a parody of FFXI
persona
>>743370820I feel like lately I've been spending more time on 4chan than actually playing games.
>>743370820Satou was just a failed normie + lucky to have someone like Misaki come knocking on his door.
Dota 2, World of Warcraft, gachaslop in general.
>>743370820Neets gets plenty of times so mmos are a good fit but honestly you can play any games
>>743372598>MMOsThey still exist?
>>743372598Old MMOs where time = power I'd agree but not modern shit
>>743372170I get neetbux too, which gachas do you play? I'm thinking of downloading WuWa
>>743370820Get on the gacha grinds. Have a second monitor where you watch VTubers too.
>>743370820Why are people who keep to themselves quietly using the internet all day considered "degenerates" but "people" out in public stealing shit and mugging people not?
>>743373346does someone have that webm of the asian guy trying to touch the vtuber on his monitor then queueing up to some sbmm slop
>>743372170Kill yourself >>743373125Kill yourself
>>743370820nothing good, you should stop living like this and fix your life.
>>743374120Why? What is the point in fixing anything once you are past the point of no return and hope. Struggling to fix an unfixable life just brings more pain and suffering to oneself.
I refuse to take life seriously.
Misaki love
>>743375595The world needs jesters, they need us, they need to have a person they can point to and say that's the silly person
>>743373494ah yes, the lunchtime rowdies
only games from the golden age
Monster Hunter-like games, there's tons of em.Elona (freeware)ElinBasically anything that requires a grind with somewhat heavy time investment.Personally i'd skip MMOs since they just suck ass nowadays. The above recommendations scratch the itch anyway.
NOOOOO YOU HAVE TO GET MARRIED AND PAY FOR KIDS AND WORK UNTIL YOU'RE BASICALLY DEAD
>>7433759824chan, twitter and reddit are already overpopulated with wannabe wiseass jesters. The world does not need more clowns.
>>743373125Started 2022 with Genshin Impactthen>Honkai Star Rail>Wuthering Waves>Zenless Zone Zero>Neverness to EvernessTbh, NTE is the most enjoyable one for me. Just chilling, cruising around the city.Wuwa is the most impressive presentation wise, especially the characters.
>>743376546Ah the keyword is wannabe, but do they dedicate their life to be silly?
>>743371115>>743371330Still able to hold down a full time job :^)
>>743370820Binding of Isaac
>>743374884blaming yourself or surrendering after terrible things happened in life only makes things worse, its not over as long as you fight till your last breath.
>>743370820open world games so you can kill time doing nothing for hours walking around the empty world doing mmo quests and fast travelling everywhere. gives sense of accomplishing something with mundane, long tasks that are actually worthless, but you can put up killing yourself and eventually get a platinum after 100 hrs. multiplayer you will fail like real life. single player/story based too short and when over remind you how empty you are. so open world offer nothing but time wasting for you to push through day til time to jack off.
>>743376394its not about that just dont be a weakling, people endure hardships to overcome obstacles in their lives, its not suppose to be easy.
>>743377448There is nothing worth fighting for in this world.
>>743371195Based :3
>>743378018its okay you dont need to fight for anyone and suffer, just lead a normal life.
>>743378593Normal life is beyond my reach due to crippling mental issues and everything having collapsed around me. I will never have a family of my own, or a career or anything else I actually wanted out of life. I see no point in bothering anymore when I can just neet around and wait for death.
I miss being a NEET so much its unreal
>>743370820honestly depends what kind of mental health issues you have desu
>>743370820>posting a youtube thumbnailYou will never be a real NEET, zoomer.
Is there a NEET simulator game?
>>743380563https://store.steampowered.com/app/3252360/Unemployment_Simulator_2018/
>>743380627I'm piratin this
>>743379219same here, i'm on disability because i melted my brain with a shitton of drugs, gotta admit though i have a relatively strong brain because i did huge amounts of hard drugs until i burnt my brain out
>>743379219you'd have a good life if it wasn't for the evil that runs this world and uses money as power, they're responsible for everything.
>>743370820For you? AutoCAD. Treat it like a game to skill up in. You need to start being economically useful nigger
>>743381967the evil has addresses and names. we could always just get rid of them
>>743380563There's a game literally called NEET
>>743382101this one?
>>743370820pirating games, starting them up, don't feel like playing, quit game, delete game, repeat. congrats, you are now in the endgame neet anon

I will be going to college soon at 25. Online though.I been listening to this a lot.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK5Cg77d9wo
i wish i was a neet, unfortunately other people still has to pay for my taxes
>>743370959/threadCame here to post this. It can easily turn into a full-time job. I need to motivate myself to hop back on and finish my Aquilo base.

>>743389139theme of my NEET days
>>743370820MMOs. I threw away around 10 years of my life playing Ragnarok Online.
>>743370820Well, not MMOs. Playing a varied selection of games yields more memories + more impressions(music and art) + more brain exercise(reduced brain fog)+ an improved vernacular, et cetera. Take it from a formerly MMO-playing NEET.
>>743389778i wish i had the energy to play a diverse selection of games instead all i do is browse this board.
>>743382389This never happened to me. Probably because I bought all my games and then felt compelled to get my money's worth.
>>743389898I've come to find out that wasting away here will kill your soul
>>743371115Trvke, whenever I get time off I live like a hermit for a week and play WEGs
>>743389967well i still enjoy it for 30 minutes i just wish i was able to not waste the whole day here
>>743389898Your brain craves energizing social stimuli, no? This is true of all human brains, even the most autistic or schizoid. What if you joined a tabletop gaming group?
>28 year old virgin>on social welfare getting 254 euro per week>was doing college courses up until 26>when i turned 25, my parents started nagging me to get a girlfriend>finished courses>mother recommended me to sign up to go on housing list and get a job>I said okay and started sending job applications out>mother started saying i should do more courses to get a level 6 degree instead of working>both parents continued to ask when i'm getting a girlfriend>father insists i go to a prostitute and also ask girls out>i said i do not have a job or money so i can not get a girlfriend>he said that isn't an excuse and that men do not need a job or money to get a girlfriend>mother got diagnosed with cancer>i foolishly spend nearly my entire savings (€7000) trying to keep her happy>only have €400 left in the bank (she knows this)>continues asking when i will be getting a girlfriend and keeps telling me i should ask women out>father keeps asking me when i will be getting a girlfriend or start going to prostitutes>i told my father women can't be trusted and they just fuck you over>father's girlfriend dumped him 4 months after this>this is second time my father got fucked over and lost hundreds of thousands from women>five days after this he said he is going to start dating again>father is now pressuring me to get a girlfriend againI think i'll just keep NEETing. I tried to give my parents what they wanted (me getting a girlfriend and a job) and they just complained.
>>743389991WEGs!?
>>743370820Any 4x.
>>743390140>What if you joined a tabletop gaming group?i would fucking love a tabletop game but i live in the middle of nowhere and i have no friends, and yes i'm a schizoid. i mostly cope with this website and streamer on the background
>>743390291Be my bf
>>743390170Thank god my parents never pressured me into dating. The only person who keeps asking me when I am gonna get a girlfriend is my elderly grandmother and I am not heartless enough to tell her that I am a hopeless incel that will never reproduce.
>>743390393but... i didn't say anything lewd anon..
>>743390170when i see posts like this, all i can say is you gotta hit them with the>yep, i’ll get right on that! :^)hell, be blatant about it or just lie. yeah you totally hit on some girls today! yep! workin on it, haha. oh yeah, totally sent out like 500 resume’s this week, mmhm!. i even have an interview lined up (LOL yeah right, in this economy. just leave the house for an hour or 2 and come back saying they’ll call you) they’re just being boomer retards. just tell them ‘yes’ and they’ll fuck off for a while.
>>743390489heh
>>743390806you're into failures aren't you
>>743381967>>743382047This I never understood. Are you gonna say jews put cyanide in my brain, bribed children to bully me or made my mom retarded?I'm fucked due to nature, nurture, and modern amenities that let me exist without needing to talk to others. How the fuck the the elites at fault?
>>743390892Yes
Ore ni hatarakette iwarete mo Otsu for the PSP, RPG-management game where you're a NEET hikikomori who doesn't want to step outisde nor work so you hire adventurers to go into dungeons and sell their loot for big bux. No translation and now-defunct-PSN-exclusive so either emulate it or put the iso on a PSP with CFW.I'm enjoying it a lot despite not being a NEET + the landlady is quite cute and cheerful.
>>743390170>father keeps asking me when i will be getting a girlfriend or start going to prostitutes>father's girlfriend dumped him 4 months after thisreading shit like this is really jarring when your own parents are basically asexual yuppies who never divorced. This sounds so miserable.
>>743390946idk if i feel humbled or ashamed that someone reading my post thought i'm a failure and goons to it
>>743372638final fantasy 14 still has a massive playerbase
>>743370820any persona game
>>743390170>borderline active effort not to interact with women>also my status as a virgin makes me a failure>"women are evil (the internet told me)"how are you like this
What a topical thread/a/ just did a cover Yōkoso! Hitori Bocchihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wAJau9Yguw
>>743391302sorry
>>743373494Ackshually, they’re both considered to be degenerate. Your degeneracy is just less criminal than theirs.
Paradoxically I find handheld games or roguelites where the average run only lasts an hour to be really good timesinks but maybe I am too zoomer brained to go through an entire playthrough of something like Factorio: Space Age and focus on one thing at a time for weeks.
>>743391530it's ok i like you
>>743391302>>743390946>>743390892>>743390806@743390489@743390393Why do trannies think ERPing in a basket weaving forum is cool?
>>743391410Sounds like anon’s kinda BPD. His parents’ behavior sounds pretty typical for parents who fucked up their kid’s sense of self. >mfw my dear dead granny couldn’t seem to wrap her head around why I didn’t have a girlfriend in my mid 20s I kinda did, but we never actually made it official or gave it the “girlfriend/boyfriend” label. I miss her dearly, though. After she left I started to really fall apart mentally.
>>743390393I didn't know women could be into failures too. I feel an unprecedented sense of comradery You take the incels. I take the femcels. Together, we endure the smell
>>743391960i don't have discord i said i'm a schizoid. sorry
>>743370820real and red pilled answer here: if you want to sink deeper its a good mmorpg. if you want to actually return to normie life at some point its unironically gachas.
>>743392094holy shit is that real
>>743389778That's what I've ended up on as well. Got really into DFO as a teen and it morphed into something I couldn't enjoy any longer. Here's all the games I've beaten for the first time this year.
>>743392091Then create one you goddamn retard. A woman dropped into your lap, knows your worst qualities and she's interested, you will NEVER get a chance like this againShe's probably still lurking. If you fumble this I'm finding you and taking your ass virginity instead
>>743392091linny
>>743392178>Fire Emblem GaidenUnfathomably based. Also for a split second I thought the dates were ratings and saw a 2/10 by gaiden and thought "yeah, fair".
>>743392461>woman
>>743392461there are actually ready made solutions to host your own discord. Its not hard to write a basic copy as a webmonkey.
>>743392461pretty sure it's a fag>>743392502uh??
>>743370820That's so degenerate! He should engage in rape and cannibalism on Epstein Island instead.
>>743392523Gaiden was a real test of patience man, a lot of interesting ideas but a lot the decisions revolve around the fact there are healing spaces and the map design is tragic. I made sloppy mistakes twice in the final fight and just threw so much time away.
>>743370820>Welcome to the NHKReminder in the novel Yamazaki gave Satou some CP. Then Satou became addicted and downloaded over 100 GB of the stuff. Both also were druggies too.
>>743392649you probably mean alt client because discord is not p2p you can't self host like mumble or something
>>743377910>it's not supposed to be easyfor the taxcattle? yeah Epstein fags can just live off bond coupons
Some half dead MMO so you can become a legend
>>743392750epstein fags are often depressed as fuck hedonists and need to be hooked up to pedophilia and drugs to not ACK
>>743383085the OST is kino>>743385062huh, I'm impressed, I wouldn't have expected this kind of kino from /a/utists >>743389898do anything other than that, even playing vidya or watching TV or anime is better /v/ has too many bots and mentally ill people to be a good experienceideally you should be learning learning a skill but even a mildly stimulating activity like vidya is better
>>743373494Incase you haven't noticed the bigger the piece of shit you are the more you're protected. It's why a normal dude who beats his wife for cheating on him gets 20 years, but some junkie with multiple random assaults is never jailed.
>>743391704it's too late for that anon, he's already trooned out
>>743392723>Reminder in the novel Yamazaki gave Satou some CP. Then Satou became addicted and downloaded over 100 GB of the stuffthis is still in the anime it's not CP though. it's minor idols.
>>743392731no i mean a full copy of discord like a standalone website you host on your own server. They don't have full functionality but they have voicecom + chat channels which is really all you need.Its like the various games that copied minecraft that you can also host locally. And it has the same hurdle - you have to convince people to use it with you.
>>743393006oh yeah i think you literally mean mumble. i learned how to set it up but no one cares. people just want to use the most used shit and don't care about the spyware (understandably so for people who have friends, i guess)
>>743370820It was always supposed to be mmorpgs but they turned them into daily gacha p2w trash for normalfags with jobs, sandbox games are the next best thing i guess
>>743392824only the dumb ones who miss the point of having absolute freedom. Some rich fags like gaben don't need to overdose on hedonism 24/7. There are other examples too.
>>743390170why is the normalfag mind completely incapable of imagining a person with no interest in romance? it's not even that they look at it with disdain (like how the gays are often perceived), they just decline to even acknowledge the possibility
>>743393207the guy actually struggled to achieve what he has though. epstein fags are born into wealth. different breed.
>>743393174i find it depends on nationality. I have some serb friends that stuck to selfhosted teamspeak while my western friends all magically moved to discord the moment it released. I never understood what made them move and insist everyone has to use disc but here we are now.
>>743393295strange, never thought about it in that way. i'm from west EU but everyone around me uses discord.maybe discord is censored in serbia? maybe more diy culture or more awareness for reliable solutions from the balkan war? idk.
>>743393276You can buy a child slave if you work hard!!! Don't give up on your dreams!! Anon!!
>>743393276it's not about the hard work, struggle and discipline meme
>>743394262>>743395732why are you dilating so much what did i say wrong?
>>743395924I'm not that anon. Your point about the "struggle" is a meme that is easily disproven by how bad athletes are with money.
>>743396010well i didn't say it applies to everyone though
>>743392094wtf this is animal abuse
>>743370820FOTM slop
>>743396010>athletesthey have multiple excuses desu-sports like boxing causes brain damage-everyone at top dopes and might die early-many come from poverty with no education and do sports as last resort
>>743373494Leftism is why mugging and shoplifting has been decriminalized.Rightism is why NEETs are considered degenerate.
>>743393227Because they never seen a person who never reproduced and they also reproduced themselves.
why are wagefags suddenly so uppity about neets this month?
>>743370820Paradox games
>>743400126summer vacation time
>>743392094The 1 year I was a NEET 10 years ago and did nothing but play FFXIV after dropping out of university was amazing.I would wake up and play until I went to sleep, doing all the raids, side content and ERP.Eventually came to an end, I went back to UNI, graduated and now have a normie job but that was probably the most blissful time of my life
Sandbox games that reward being online 24/7. Rust or Foxhole for example.
>>743370820Gamedevdev It’s on steam
>>743370820Project 1999
>>743391410I never said women are evil.
Ahh, 30 and jobless...How time flies..
>has friend>goes outside>cute girl to fix himweak ass anime for larping "shut ins"
>>743404950You wanna what the sad thing is? The creator of the novel was a Hikki when making this, and is still a Hikki now except he joined a cult for a while.
I was a NEET for several years and it's nice having all the free time in the world. The problem is you don't have money to do anything with that free time so you're just stuck inside all day which gets very lonely. I guess it's great if your only hobbies are consooming media like video games since you can just pirate all of it. Or if you're born into a rich family and you can just call yourself a socialite or whatever. Now I've been working for a few years and it's nice having money for my hobbies but I barely have any time or energy to use it.
>>743404950What actually fixed him was his parents cutting his allowance. The show literally proves that having a cute girlfriend or an ambitious friend who gives you a goal won't save a shut in. Money will
>>743405204>The problem is you don't have money to do anything with that free timeYour NEETbux bro?
>>743370820I sunk countless hours into sandbox games such as GSGs and vanilla/modded MC. They're an (almost) infinite time sink. Can't say completing a campaign or a mod playthrough feels meaningful though.
>>743370820
>>743404950read the book
>>743405453>my entire life is just dedication to whoever is tardwrangling me
>>743370820I am trying so hard to get a job at 32 after multiple years in between jobs multiple times. I need to support my family and disability isn't cutting it. The years I spent as a neet is finally coming back to fill my life with regret. I hope I get a job at valvoline tomorrow.
>>743405534All the versions are blending into one in my mind since it was a while, these were the main characteristics of the novel compared to the anime and manga, right?>Hallucinations from hard drugs>Neighbor made a bomb that he planned to use in his uni >Both jacked off to actual child porn>Misaki was a manipulative bitch and abused
>>743405295 I don't think I could afford my hobbies on NEETbux. Don't they give you less than minimum wage?
>>743406074After everything is said and done I get about $600 spending money left to do what I want withMost of time I don't even spend it though because everything is fucking dogshit now
>>743393227people still act like we all live in a village and need to pair off and work for survivals sake. i think we're gonna make it, the village doesnt need me
>>743406074Disability is usually what makes the difference
Neeting in america is morally correct because your taxes go to israel. Thats why im moving to japan to work.
>>743406561>propaganda campaign says taxes freely given to israel>propaganda campaign says to hate israel>propaganda campaign says to love japanLiteral cattle behavior. You have never formed an opinion of your own.Next you're gonna call me indian.
Let the goyim deal in the real world.
>>743400254i played HoI4 for 150 hours since July 7th, am i a certified NEET?
If you're gonna be a NEET at least get a productive hobby, for your own good.You don't wanna be old without having any valuable skills. Trust me.
>>743408058I tried to take up drawing in 2020. I practiced at most 1 hour for 60 days. It was incredinly hard and torturous to keep that bare minium consistency.Still a pre-beg btw.
>>743370820Crusader Kings 2 and 3.I spent thousands of hours in Crusader Kings 2 after only a few years of discovering it. Most of that time spent was in the Elder Kings mod. Then AGoT, then After The End Fan Fork, then vanilla.
>>743375982i think no rest for the wicked 1.0 release will be the ultimate neet game
>>743408218I'm not sure if you watch porn, but that will definitely not help you. I'd also advise you to stop playing video games before you've done your productive tasks for the day.An hour a day is plenty to get decent at any skill, so long as you remain consistent. Don't beat yourself up because some autist draws 10 hours a day; comparing yourself to others is never a good idea. After you get used to an hour a day of productivity, maybe you can do something else that requires discipline, like working out or reading a book, or whatever appeals to you. Just take it one step at a time.
>>743408231I have 100 hours on CK2 and 270+ on CK3, i know i'm still a pleb but i plan to play CK3 for at least 800 more hours. Tried CK2 but it looks too dated, i'm not even a zoomer (1996) but CK3 looks overall like a better game (i like colorful radiant games).
>>743408408I used to do nofap for months at a time. It never did anything magical for me other than restoring my dick sensitivity.I can never get used to anything. I exercised for 2 hours a day for over a year. Hated every second of it. Just woke up dreading it and feeling miserable. Same with drawing. Even brushing my teeth feels like torture. Tried a dopamine detox and didn't work either.
>>743370820Start gambling instead you could use more problems in your life
>>743408218Everybody wants to take up drawing but having hung out with a lot of artists, these people never really had to try these things. They picked them up naturally. I mean they did try, and they struggled to get better, but it's a world of difference between enjoying the progress and torturous to keep consistency.
>>743408935who knows, maybe he is a card game genius, might improve his life, otherwise he should try meth
>>743408806It's not supposed to do anything magical, it's simply a means to teach you about self-control. Though I personally do experience boosts in energy and motivation, and my shame is replaced with... confidence? I don't know. I just feel like I no longer have to hide myself.2 hours a day of working out is way too much. 30-45 minutes is plenty desu. Have you considered you may have a vitamin or mineral deficiency?
>>743390170hold my falafel> 32 year old virgin> finished college / military conscription / managed to stay in the same online freelance job for 12 years / never broke the law / been respectful to women and felines all my life> when things were great, i made about 15k a year. Ai and corporate greed are slowly eating away at my chance of achieving any semblance of steady income.> girl i fell in love with happened to live 6,000 miles away> spent 4 years in a loving relationship. paid for her groceries. helped her with work. made presentations with her. showered her with gifts. even though i never got to be with her. hoping someday somehow we'll be in the same room.> she changes. takes meds. starts arguments out of nowhere. repeats "i don't want this anymore" when things get tough. > blocks me like i was nobody. gets a new haircut. catch her buying flowers the very next valentine's. calls the cops on me when i reached out to her through reddit. i get an email from the POLICE asking me to leave ms.name alone on social media.> im heart broken. crying myself to sleep for 3.5 years straight. going insane in my solitude and vowing to never open up to women again.> i meet a nice girl very briefly, and start to wonder about the what ifs. but the list is so fucking long that it kicked my midlife crisis into gear, and brought me face to face with every unfixable problem that i had previously swept under the rug.> buys a vr headset and try to forget how normies do life.> whole family starts nagging to propose to the girl i spoke to for 5 seconds who happens to be my cousin> i stare at the ceiling thinking this is the watershed moment that will define the rest of my life. i'll either be a lonely asshole who cries himself to sleep, or a cousin fucker who won't be able to afford bread in 5 years.
>>743409594All I was doing was 100 push-ups and 100 dumbell curls on each arm. Took me two hours each day and I was still a dyel.I have considered I could have some kind of medical condition, but it's not like I can go to the doctor as an American NEET. I take a daily multi vitamin at least.
>>743370820i hate most rpg because everyone likes the protagonist
>>743390170Man, that must have sucked big time, makes me thankful my own family never really pressured me into getting a girl (the contrary actually).Now if only they could understand just how fucked the current job market is and stop putting so much pressure on me to get a job asap as if I wasn't worried myself...
>>743405295How do people even get "NEETbux"? Is it dependant on the country?
>>743370820If I was a neet I would just play super hard games all the time. I don't understand how people can have infinite free time on their hands and then choose to smack rocks in osrs for 12 hours a day.
>>743410270There are plenty of visual novels where the protagonist is an asshole.
>>743410675It is a peaceful life.
>>743410707I don't know how anyone can play these digital heroin "shut off the mental disquiet" games and not get depressed.
>>743410693reading is boring
>>743410756That's how it was in the beginning for me, I think the first two years of neetdom where I thought I was wasting my time having fun playing video games. >>743410792don't be a nigger all your life.
>>743371113>>743372435It was an XI parody, which is ironic since actual XI was very Anti-RMT and gil selling at that point in time.As a disabled NEET that's played XI for over 21 years now, I've technically surpassed his joke RDM in terms of levels gained, since they added enough jobs to outdo his level 1,400 or so Magic Warrior or whatever he had in the parody. I did meet several people over the years like the TaruTaru in the anime parody that just couldn't log out and leave the game, and basically became that myself in XIV since I don't really have anywhere else to call home at this point and I've been playing XIV for 15-16 years of my life now.
>>743408058What would be a "productive hobby" in your opinion? I have tried taking up several hobbies like cooking, knitiing and even learning an instrument or two, but I always felt like I went nowhere no matter how much I practiced and ended up dropping them.>>743408806Damn, I'm in a similar situation, never manage to fully stick to a routine like that, at most I last a month or so before giving up.
>>743410901which vns have fun dialog?
>>743410901>That's how it was in the beginning for me, I think the first two years of neetdom where I thought I was wasting my time having fun playing video games.Well here's the way I think about it. With an MMO or RPG or whatever, its just busy work to keep from thinking. But when you pick up a hard game, well you can't perform unless you learn how to manually process the bad thoughts because your brain is very much switched on. Its avoidance versus adaptation, and I feel the latter leads to better mental wellness over time even if its tough at first.
I'm a born-again NEET after 12 years. I've mostly spent my new NEETdom just generating giantess AI slop
>>743370820Play Underage Panty Quest. That's what I do.
>>743410675Like these? These are some of my more "complex" games, i play one for two weeks then move onto the next and so on
>>743411294Not to be rude, but I feel a lot of these grand strategy games and such are basically just cookie clicker with extra menus. You don't have to focus to play that. Like obviously HoI4 is not a mentally demanding game.
>>743377910Failed normalfag ideology
>>743411347have you ever played gsg?
>>743370820space station 14, assuming you can read the rules and role play its the best game currently available. starlight server. you will not find a more fun game or a mire infuriating game.
i dont want to be a neet but it's so hard to find a fucking job
>>743370820The more time goes and the more applications are met with silence or with stock "We won't continue the recruitment process with you" messages, the more I feel like I'm gonna be a NEET for life, and I honestly don't know what to think about that.If nothing else I may be able to play videogames as much as I want, so, what are some RPGs you lot would recommend for someone with too much free time on their hands?Action and platformers are welcome too.
>>743375982you have to communicate with people in real life to be a jester. being a jester requires active social participation. anonymous misanthropy is more like masturbation. ive met class clowns, they put themselves out there.
>>743411463Yeah, I think paradox and total war has pretty much thoroughly undermined the concept of grand strategy. Its to strategy games what call of duty and halo is to fps. If you wanted to go down that rabbit hole I'd recommend slitherine's play by mail games, and to look on /vst/ for which of those games are being played in that manner. Shadow Empire used to be one of those games, not sure if that's the case any more.But that's getting away from the my actual point, that my impression of what you're playing, and how you're playing, isn't something I'd consider terribly mentally stimulating. There's a point where you're playing something so hard, that you start thinking things like "i have to go to bed early and get a good rest, i have to eat healthy, etc." and when you aren't at 100% it feels like a loss because you're not getting to play something you enjoy as well as you want. You won't get that playing those types of games.
Find A Good Game To Play game is a very good game. Although it is long, bloated, dry, confusing and feels like you never making any progress at all! But at the end of the day i am hooked and still playing it to this day.
>>743411735So what games do you play that are "mentally stimulating"? Go on, i'll wait
>>743370820for me, it's morrowind and warband
>>743412030Over the years, I have found stuff like speedrunning platformers, fighting games, and arcade games rewarding. And as I have already mention I have spent plenty of time with play by mail wargames.
>>743404950he was completely fine and was about to get a job in the fucking first episode, he only backed out because he saw misaki there
how do you make peace with the fact that refusing to work basically dooms you to a life without love? vidya can only mask the pain for so long
>>743412465Conditional love is worthless.
>>743411012Anything that requires discipline and patience to master (excluding vidya gaems)And you should stop focusing on what's ahead and you should start focusing what is right in front of you. Ask yourself why you want to go "anywhere" in the first place? If you keep focusing on improving yourself instead of the art itself you'll suck all the joy out of it, which is ironically responsible for your lack of improvement.
>>743412465>life without loveThis unc still thinks 3DPD can love

Being a neet was kinda cool 15 years ago. Barely anybody else was one and you got treated like a leper but the Internet wasn't as poisoned. Can't imagine it's too fun today when it's the default state for young men and everything is algo

That being said if you are inspired to say something I think it is worth doing even if you never share it with anyone. It's therapy that you can't get anywhere else.

>>743413126What about it fascinates you exactly? Everyone wants to be cool and being where everyone else is not is the easiest way to fulfill that desire.Besides that, consider the idea of a crowd being noisy to the point of drowning out your own thoughts and slowly destroying your sense of individuality. There is merit in trying to find quiet places to not be assaulted in such ways.

I woke up. My brain immediately told me to start searching MapleStory stuff because if left up to the algorithm my day becomes incredibly demoralizing. I browse some ancient forums and find someone made some PepexMS art. Go to youtube, bam, they have a boss fight video all set up to provide context to me about the character I screenshotted. I desperately search /v/ for a thread to dump my pitiful synchronicity into. I choose one. I decide to post the full comic instead of just the crop.It's a pretty good game for a NEET-in.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcP17zinLuohttps://royals.ms/forum/threads/rinns-legoman-diary.151323/page-2MS is however not a good game for NEETs as it's just a micro transaction hell for nostalgic foids and normies with friends nowadays. Of course, it was always friendslop. But NEETs don't have friends. Only in their childhoods.

>>743413276I just like hanging out in it and listening to the music in my house or doing some gathering and watching chat while I surf the web or youtube on another monitor, since I'm a legacy player and pay like $6-$10 a month compared to everyone else paying $15 or so. Tonight I ran the Vana'diel raid a few times to get a piece of Dragoon armor due to the weekly limit on it, since that's about the only thing keeping me going along with helping build up other peoples newer FCs from the community finder.>>743413881I met a girl in XI from an HNMLS, but she just really used me to cosign an apartment so she could move closer to her college and get out of her dad's house. Then she started getting extra controlling and threatened to kill me a few times, and ended up killing herself after I got off the lease and moved out, so no wife, just a horror story.I wouldn't object to having a lady pal by this point in my life, but NEETs with disabilities are a hard sale as is, and nowadays women have stricter standards than Hitler's SS requirements for men with the heigh and eugenics and other stuff. I'd be happy with a girl failure or something by this point if it meant having someone that I could actually be happy with and enjoy the little things in life.
>>743416792in 2000s, economy was still better, people were more put-together, there weren't fat losers that were allowed to succeed, you had to be fat and talented to succeed otherwise you were mercilessly bullied, that's literally the only downside, if you were gay, ditto. overall, 00s WAS GREAT TIME, you just had to have a warrior mind set not a pussy one.

>>743417760Political, financial, and social. Were things actually more stable? Was there political stability? Did people have financial security? Was there a genuine sense of community?
>>743417848the economy was surely better. there weren't 4 proxy wars from rival countries. the internet wasn't completely centralized yet. smartphones didn't exist. your judgment follows. i bet some people are really hooked up to their discord and their gooning and think there's nothing wrong today.
>>743417632current asshole-ism doesn't compete with past, today's asshole is just a rat and a bitch combined, not fun. 00s were at least honor and respect based. us assholes would beat you up for cheating in vidya for example.

>>743419449this is a retarded take, you should just find X thing you want to do and focus on it just to distract yourself anyway, you could always pick up a cheapo bass guitar set and start playing or a keyboard, normies are easily impressed by just you knowing how to play music as if its some arcane lost art only trained few can do.
>>743413302I write, jog, cook, and garden.

It feels weird seeing the recommendations in this thread when all the shut-ins I know play dogshit kusoge like LoL, Counter Strike or other popular massive games that does not fit the image of a typical hikki. I was watching Hanaori-san and in the first episode the hikki MC was playing fucking Fragpunk. When I was a former NEET, I was playing so many JRPGs that I got burned out. Are we out of touch now?
>>743420360jrpgs have always been normalfagcoreespecially in japanand surprise surprise, popular games are popular for a reasonif theyre going to be a hikkineet it's going to be something they can sink 5000 hours into and gives them some social interactionthats why it was mmos before (and still is though less), even in welcome to the nhk the hikineet played mmo all day and it's what satou got intowas never jrpgs thats for kids and salarymen
