I have spent countless money on retro videogames, years of my life playing it. But I feel empty inside. Like I have made a grave mistake. Anyone ever stop and think that we are on a tragic path doing all this? >Society doesn't respect us and looks at us as trash.>No friends, no girlfriends, no money, no life. Just things that will never love us back.>We forge our own chains in life.
>no friends, no girlfriendsspeak for yourself, I play retro with my wife and friends
>>12555564>I-i used t-to go to the arcade and... spend money on it. I regret it so muchLol you're so weak, don't worry we can tell you have no life you don't need to say it
When a game isn't trying to milk me for every penny or pressure me into pavlovian conditioning, i consider that true love.
>>12555564>>No friends, no girlfriends, no money, no life.That doesn't have anything to do with video games. That's just you.If it wasn't video games, it would be another thing. Comic books, action figures, trading cards, sneakers, watches, whatever. It doesn't matter. It's you.
>/vr/ - OP's personal blog to whine about his issues
>>12555564No, not really. This world is a hell realm and we have to do what we can to make it worthwhile, even if that means just killing time with vidya. Anything that can distract us from the nightmare that is our reality is a source of light and should be cherished.
>>12555569your tulpa doesn't count as your wife and your multiple personalities don't count as your friends
>>12555564>No friends, no girlfriends, no money, no lifeThis has nothing to do with collecting games or arcades, you're just a loser. And that is OK.
>>12555564i feel like I spend a lot of time playing retro and yet I still have a social life and relationships that have nothing to do with gaming. skill issue? git gud perhaps?
>>12555564ah yes, the classic "a great life just falls out of the sky and lands on your dick" technique.
>>12555564I thought I'd wasted my life playing video games while my friends got married, had kids, got a house etc.now I look at those friends and they all divorced, hate their ex wives, lost the house and half thair bank accounts, have ungrateful shits for kids who just sucked them dry.trust me OP, you made the right call. you have your freedom. most middle aged people dont.
>>12556539Even if their kids hate them their genetic line will still continue. Meanwhile we're all just going to die alone with no legacy and nothing for anyone to remember us by.
>>12556525He's literally saying the opposite you esl moron
>>12556556nice reading comprehension you have there.thats exactly what I'm saying OP tried you dumb cunt
>>12556543tell me about your great great grandad.oh look, you cant. nobody can except in very rare circumstances where there distant relatives actually mattered. everybody is forgotten in just a few generations. get over your so called "legacy".
>>12556543That's not how genetic worksIf your cousins or siblings have kids, your genes have been already passed on90% on average is shared DNA between couples and when you consider redundant and silent genes, that's down to about 0.3%>>12556568For every Julius Caesar, there's hundreds of million of peasants, unremarkable soldiers and townsfolk.is this /vr/ or /his/|/sci/|/adv/|/r9k/? Why's this thread here anyway?clean it up jannies
>>12555564Skill issue.
I met my wife playing House of the Dead at an arcade, so no.
>>12556568You always know at least one thing about your progenitors: They had successful copulation. They fucked. They came and were cummed inside of. And if they hadn't been ready and willing to do so, you would not be here now.
>>12555564>No friends, no girlfriends, no money, no life.I can read people's minds. In my lifetime I have read the pasts, presents, and futures of thousands upon thousands of men and women.And each mind that I peered into was stuffed with the same single object of obsession. That selfish and atavistic desire to pass on one's seed... it was enough to make me sick. Every living thing on this planet exists to mindlessly pass on their DNA. We're designed that way. And that's why there is war. But you OP... you are different... You're the same as us. We have no past, no future. We live in the moment. That's out only purpose. Humans weren't designed to bring each other happiness. From the moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain and misery. The first person who's mind I dove into was my father's. I saw nothing but disgust and hatred for me in his heart. My mother died in childbirth... and he despised me for it... I thought my father was going to kill me.We are truly the same, you and I... The world is a more interesting place with people like you in it... I never agreed with the Boss's revolution. His dreams of world conquest do not interest me. I just wanted an excuse to play as many video games as I could.
>>12556568>tell me about your great great grandad.oh look, you cant. nobody can except in very rare circumstances where there distant relatives actually mattered. everybody is forgotten in just a few generations. get over your so called "legacy".I know details and stories about most of the men in my family going back at least the last 200 years and we have lineage/genealogy traced back much farther. Just because you're a shitbud on shitfamily tree doesn't mean the rest of us are as well.
>>12555564I played video games to escape the hell of life. And somewhere deep inside, even then I knew that people don't really matter. None of them care about me or anyone else. They're just animals trying to win a rigged game, just like me with video games. Difference is, my games were actually enjoyable to play.
>>12555564Not retro. le back to le r9k.
>>12555564doomer posting is over. go get a life or shut the fuck up
Should have played Neo Geo instead, loser.I do exclusively and I'm rich and successful.
