What vidya do you play when you're depressed
>>
If you are truly depressed you don't even get out of the bed to do anything.
>>
Endlessly skating around doing glitches in Skate 3 while feeling suicidal

Depression is a mental illness. It's not something that comes and goes.
What you're describing is sadness.
>>
>>744504156
I recommend to just play whatever you feel like except hard and competitive games. It's best to at least try instead of staying in bed. I recommend farming games like Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley.
>>
>>744504524
Stardew Valley stresses the fuck out of me with the crop and time management.

There is no such thing as "depression" what people call depression is merely reality stripped of its copes. Life oscillates like a pendulum between boredom and pain, so just find a game with a fun gameplay loop and play it until you get bored again. And repeat.
>>
>>744504156
I couldn't even think about vidya back then
I would log in and fuck around in FFXIV for like 20 mins before shutting it off

u sound depressed

something high paced like roboquest
gotta leave 0 room for internal monologue to start yelling

>>744504156
Play very difficult games that force you to get good. Or horror games
>>
Deltarune

>>744504156
witcher, heroes 3 or dark souls

Something simple with a nice gameplay loop and sense of progression. I enjoy The Mound lately

That's anhedonia, which not everyone who's depressed has

>>744504156
I get up at noon to do my dailies in my circuit of 10+ gachas so I can begin my day (lay in bed and wonder what went wrong for a few hours) then eat breakfast at 5-8pm and go for a walk around midnight for a few hours and then have dinner at 3-4am and go to sleep at 10am.

Dark Souls is the ultimate depression soother. It makes you realize the modern life experience is inadequate and the reason you're depressed is that all the whimsy and wonder of the world has been stripped away by modernity.

Nothing i force myself to go out for a walk or pick some iron for half of an hour of intense sweating to free endorphins.

I like to get drunk and play sims.
>>
I hit the bottom.
I'm bored of everything at the moment, things might change in mere hours tho.
Had fun for 5 months with one game, but recently noticed it's not that enjoyable anymore, probably gonna play again in a week or two. Signs were already a month ago.
There probably isn't any new movies, I usually watch few dozen in situations like this, "seen it all" tho at this point.
>>
>>744504241
That's stupid. I sleep/lie in bed 10+ hours a day but I still get up to drink and shitpost and maybe play some shitty video games.
>>
>>744504156
I just spend hours browsing Youtube, X and 4chan
>>
JRPGs
>>
I've been rewatching old anime lately. I don't like any new anime because it's all digital/cgi garbage. But the old shit is nostalgic and fun.
>>
>>744504156
When I'm depressed I don't even feel like playing vidya. I just drink and watch self-insert anime all day.

Alright, chud. I will tell you what to do next to forget about the meaningless jewish circus created to make everyone indolent and subservient, so they can replace us with machines and dawn the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

I am going simply tell you to... wait for it.... drum rolls please*.... go out, lift weights, eat healthy, engage with people, help your niggers (woops, meant to say neighbours, sorry... actually fuck you I am not sorry at all), clean your room, wash your penis, be a good goy etc etcetera...... SIKE, that WOULD be what I WOULD have told you, if I was a glowie.

But just, replay a random old game again. Ok fuck gaming for a while. Just open a notebook and start writing. Watch David Irving. Get into political theories and psychological stuff (like Jungian archetypes and Shadows). Gaming alone will not suffice for your NEETness, you need some other actitivites (solo the better)

>>744506349
Reddit the game.

Do the first thing that crosses your mind, I like to go whaling in black flag sometimes, it relaxes me

>>744504156
I force myself to plow through retro junk. Each game can generally be beaten in an hour or two and the variety keeps things going. If theres a crappy game based on a cartoon or movie licence for the 8 to 16 bit era, I have played it.

Vidya is just sweeping the problems under the rug
Face whatever issues you're having head on and get rid of them, literally just do it
Oh you're feeling anxious and fear the consequences of doing what needs to be done? It's called growth. We all know you're not actually going to play any video games and it would be a waste of time and effort to do so.
Just fix your fucking life retard, no matter how difficult that might be

maybe i'll do a dark souls mage run

I just open my work laptop and start working. It helps me feel productive. Video games would make me feel worse because it feels like I am degrading further.

based truth. I got into 3D modelling and animation while i was a NEET, i'm not the greatest ever but it allowed me to mod a game i liked, now that i have a job i can't really focus on it anymore and it piss me off.
an other thing i recommend is learned an instrument, guitars are cheap as fuck and you can learn how to play some tunes quite fast if you're into it

It's simple.
Depression is desire being unfillfilled. The more desires you have, the more are likely unfillfilled, the more you basically don't like the state of reality.

In this age of information, a billion ideal lives are shown to you every moment.
Of course everyone is miserable. Buddha was right for the most part, desire is the root of all suffering.

>>744504156
I don't. I just scroll 4chan and youtube endlessly.

you don't play videogames if you want to stop being depressed

Definitely not play more video games. Depression may start from a vitamin D deficiency and snowball from there, so the only thing you can do is start from there. Get some sunlight even if it's on your balcony, and/or get the D3 supplements. Once that's done, you have to understand that you must force a healthier routine. Pick a new hobby, lift some weights, walk, especially if you have to force them at first. Humans are beasts of habit, but you must be the one choosing and enforcing these habits, because if you let your auto-drive choose for yourself, you will see that your brain will choose to stay in bed all day and eat the bare minimum, because that's the most optimal way for the body to survive, sacrificing your own brain in the process.

You won't find the energy to do these things passively. I've wasted years waiting for that to happen, it won't happen. You have to do them out of spite at first. Or you can keep watching yourself in the reflection of your turned off monitor to rot inside a room smaller than a jail cell. It's up to you.

Depression doesn't exist; it's a made-up disease invented by the pharma industry to sell pills.

Depression is your genetic code that you are not meant to be in the environment that you're currently in. Most of modern society, especially in America, is unnatural to people. Used to ge the solution was to change up your environment but that you can't even change apartments in your own city without an arm and leg. Add in forced diversity and it's easy to see why people, especially Zoomers, are hella depressed.

pick up any "Numbers goes up" games like Diablo, Path of Exile, Factorio, Dyson Sphere, Stellaris, EU4, Civilisation, Wow, Truck Simulator etc and play until you get bored and then move to the next one
>>744505242
Depression is a sign of a health condition, your life being shit or your environment is a trash on fire, depression before was called melancholy and it was just description of the human condition (Four temperaments)
