I literally can only play video games while drinking beer.
I can watch movies sober
I can listen to music sober
I can do literally anything else in my life sober (except first dates).
I just cant find myself caring at all about shit while playing sober.
Is the end? Is this what it feels like to grow out of playing video games?
I drink when doing social stuff because it gives me a confidence boost. Now i rely on it for that boost. Don't be like me user. Don't rely on alcohol.
Im passed that already. Drinking while socializing is expected in my social circle (we all work in beer). So im fine with that. But its while playingn games that inhave trouble. I cant do it sober. I get bored instantly or my mind wants to do other things. I still like playing video games buzzed. I think i still like video games.
Stop drinking for a year.
I can't really drink anymore because of medical reasons, the the GD beer is nice
I can easily stop drinking. Did it for 5 months. Then got bored and started again. Its control thats my problem, once i have one, inhave to have more. Theres actually a pretty fascinating documentary on youtube called “drinkers like me” that i watched recently. About people who are heavy drinkers yet aren’t considered alcoholics. Anyways yeah video games get super boring for me sober.
>God of war - stop 25 min, no will to continue
>resident evil 2 - stop 20 min in
>monster hunter world, dont get past the opening mission
>sekiro, literally install the disc then switch to hulu
I have a date a 10 and i want to play some games right now but i just cant. I need to have a beer or two to be mentally amused by the game. But i cant show up to the date buzzed because we’re goig out for drinks. Think ive just grown out of it. It feels awful.
I only do it now with my bf. It's a reward for the weekend. I can still have fun without it but I just like acting stupid on Fridays
If you play video games on your own then what encourages you to drink? IF i streamed i'd drink because i'm socialising kinda, but if i'm just playing then what's the point?
>pale ale
You're an alcoholic. Seek help.
I dont know how to awnser that. I can crush a few aix packs and literally play video games until the sun comes up and I pass out.
Yet i cant get past the first 15mins of a game that i have been waiting years for while sober.
he went sober for 5 months he's not an alcoholic retard
What defines an alcoholic?
I doesn’t ruin my finances or social life. It doesn’t veer me from my goals or de-rail my ambition.
If you are a fully functioning member of society that likes to binge drink every now and then. Does that make you different from other functional members of society. Everyone has a vice.
if you like alcohol then you'll drink for the feeling it gives you, not for any kind of confidence boost or social interaction. the "point" is literally just the chemical interaction in your brain, it feels good man.
I think you're just not into games anymore. Maybe stop trying for a year to see what happens or only play drunk.
that's called a functional alcoholic. i am that but i don't think you are, because you said you easily quit for 5 months. i quit for a month and a half but it was a struggle. still fully functional though, got 6 figure job + gf + whatever else, but i am an alcoholic lol. 6+ drinks a day is not good for you, and boosting that up to 12+ on the weekends is even worse
Nonstop instant gratification from social media has destroyed your brain.
DUDE ALCOHOL LMAO
Its actually a horrible feeling. I have so many good memories of ps2 and my childhood.
So much so that ive spent hundreds of dollars recreating my old ps2 library.
And i cant get past the first 20 minutes of silent hill 2 without getting bored.
I cant play RE outbreak wothout complaining about the load times and using that as an excuse to turn it off. Or playing shinobi and complaining about dated controls when in reality they are fine and i just dont care to re-learn them.
I used to think the day i stopped playing games i would get so much done. Im not. And now im just sad. Guess ill just have to keep boozing my way through the next decade of gaming.
dude straightedge lmao
im the complete opposite
i cant play video games when drunk
Are you sure you're not depressed?
I find that I play better when drunk. Not sure when.
Honestly, whos to say.
Im not a medical professional
I find it hard to play video games over doing other things. I would otherwise spend hours drawing instead, but since I sunk so much money into vidya, I feel obligated to play once in a while. I have an aversion to sitting down and concentrating entirely on it, but when I'm buzzed or drunk I find myself more immersed in the experience. I don't really like drinking because how bad it makes me feel afterwards, but occasionally I will indulge for the sake of letting loose.
Don't you have any hobbies other than gaming?
Never tried playing video games while drinking before. I usually only drink for social things.
Get some responsibility. Grow up and smoke weed like an adult instead of killing people drunk driving.
>playing a game
>start drinking
>immediately get tired and bored
I just lose all interest and find something to watch or come here. Bros. with the bro is the only thing I can play while drinking.
Unless you mean "buzzed" you don't actually. You just think that you're doing better.
This. Im OP and once i get drunk. The fun is over and injust go to bed. Thats why it’s exclusivly beer.
Beer is a like a old van. Its a slow ride, you can feel yourself getting there slowly.
Hard alcohol is a fucking teleportation device. One minute youre fine the next your pissed.
I don't trust that beer with those gay boys
i only drink wine
Small world friend. I live in Milton DE, home of Dogfish.
That beer is a good beer.
when i drink beer, i just get tired before i can feel buzzed
try Bell's 2hearted ale. got me into IPA. It doesn't go well with every food pairing, but it can really be enjoyable if you know what you're doing
>6.5%
Weakling.
I actually sell dogfish amongst other brands for a living. They actually have pretty nationwide distribution so even though they are technically still an indie brewery, they are huge.
>drinking dogshithead
Enjoy your meme tier dragons and yum yums flaming lips swill
Ive been in beer for 7 years user. Ive had pic related which that years batch was 27.2% abv.
It aint about abv, its about flavor
>having beer that cant do both
Sad.
i dont play games when im drunk because its a waste of alcohol. Its more fun to watch funny shit on youtube or chat on IRC.
Also holy shit why s alcohol so expensive? It takes literally 60% of my neet allowance
beer is literally just soda. empty calories. if you're going to consume just drink hard shit. you get drunk quicker.
It's called state-dependence.
You drank too much while playing video games and now that's the only way it feels right to play them. Look it up.
