Anybody else here hope that they don’t play video games after around 25 (or around the age most people graduate uni) I’m 21 now and starting to play less and less games and I feel like after a year or two I won’t play games at all despite growing up playing them damn near every day.
Anybody else hope to one day move on from children’s games, what about you boomers? How does video games effect your adult life

I'm seeing a strange transition in what I enjoy playing as I reach that age. Starting to prioritise more arcade like and gameplay focused titles in shorter windows over lengthy story driven stuff. When I was growing up I always assumed it would be the other way around but at the momentI'm enjoying half hour bursts of Vanquish, Strider and Guilty Gear after work much more than long, convoluted titles that Yea Forums hails as good. I'm struggling to really find other things to do at the moment, but making games a consistent side hobby instead of making absolutely everything in my life revolve around it seems to be the right idea. It's certainly making me enjoy video games after several years of existential dread.
>tfw enlightenment is realising that the push to interpret video games as an art form is what ultimately stopped people from enjoying them.

Do what feels right for you man, taking a certain number of trips around the sun shouldn't dictate what you can and can't enjoy. I'm 29 and still play vidya pretty regularly and enjoy it. My adult life is just how I'd like it to be, so no complaints.

I've been trying to balance anime, video games, and learning piano/japanese and I feel like I've been making actual progress in all 4 instead of playing the same stupid shit all day (progress meaning shortening backlog or learning new parts of piano/japanese).

I’m in a similar situation, lately I have become obsessed with efficiency and try to make hour day as productive as possible, I start waking up early around 7 am to read or run and while I still spend a lot of time smoking weed and watching anime, I spend more and more of my days studying, reading, learning Japanese, or spending time with my gf. My ultimate goal is to be able to wake up every morning at 5:45am, run and then spend the rest of my day doing productive things.
I want to break into wall st after I graduate and everyone I met doing school programs at Goldman spends every hour of their day doing something productive, and I want to spend my final two years of college mastering this lifestyle. But I feel I’m also giving up the things I like to do now, yet I don’t really miss it

I had to reach 35 for that to happen. I wish it happened sooner. What a waste of time.

>B-but it's fun!
You know what's fun? Having a job, your own house and car, a great career with a good future, your health, someone to love.

God I'm depressed again.

>35 and still on Yea Forums

A good amount of Yea Forums users are in their 30’s or older

Ain't that depressing?

22 hear, I am graduating uni this year. I have definitely started playing game less, but I am still playing them. Recently I've sank couple of dozens of hours into Stardew Valley and I've also dusted out my Xbox 360 and played Lost Odyssey. Not planning to stop playing anymore I have just become more selective about games I play and have zero interest in modern gaming especially AAA ones, they are legitimately just shit, it has nothing to do with your lack of time. Clear out your backlog senpai.

Can't be arsed to open a new thread, i cannot remember the name of the game where you control that white furry thing in a post apocalityc world, where you can choose different routs, go with a spear, etc.
Anybody?

It’s something I’d like to avoid
You’re right I have plenty of time to play games, although I hope that in the future I will not have the time.
The thing is I find my free time wanting to do other shit, hell sometimes I’d rather just watch shitty YouTube videos and browse the internet for an hour rather than play vidya

Overgrowth?

I recently turned 25 and I honestly can't play games that ask eye hand coordination anymore. I'm just too slow when I used to be pretty good at shooters like halo 3 for example. Nowadays when I play a game its mostly strategy games or other slow genres.

Oh, wait.
>white thing
You're probably thinking of Rain world.

>It’s something I’d like to avoid
It's not so bad if you cycle through the forms of media. Go from games to movies to books and everything else in cycles of several months.

I get that feeling, but you are just replacing your gaming time with fucking youtube. Don't do that, if you rather do anything but play vidya, do anything else but productive. Watch a movie, read a book, I recently started reading Haruki Murakami and Sherlock Holmes (re-reading in English since I am ESL).

I spent my second year of uni practically just studying, going home to watch some youtube and sleeping 4-5 hours, I was miserable and just wish I actually played some games or watched anime instead of shitty youtube videos, youtube is worse cancer than vidya, you are actually being less productive than playing vidya.

I watch anime and I’m currently reading Martian chronicles by Bradbury, and I agree that YouTube and most forms of social media in general are complete cancer

rain world, thank you

Not at all, better than all those umderages

I mean most of the website is underage posters, I first used this site when I was 14, although I just browsed and didn’t really post until I was in college

>dude i hate gaming its just so childish
>pfft Hahahahah LOOK AT WOJAK HES GOTTA FRIGGIN AFRO LMAO XD HAHA HES SAYING THE BLACK GUY PHRASE TOO, holy cow this is epic

spending your golden years here is much worse tbqh, people over 30 lived a life. Someone that's 18 and on here, lol, kind of sad

this

Guilty, though I didn't see them as my golden years, having no money was shit, each year I live happier than last one these days, next year I am planning to go overseas for the first time.

>samefagging “this” to back up your retarded post

23 and I hope not. I can remember the happiest times of my life playing games not only by myself but with my friends and I even met my ex during a fighting game tournament.
Already graduated and have been working for more than half a year but ""growing up"" so far is a meme. People at work are boring, TV sucks, dinner after work is delicious but boring.

>wojaks and people complaining on Yea Forums is the same as rage comics and people complaining on Yea Forums years ago

Kill yourself zoomy.

The fact that you care so fucking much what is considered ok for an "adult" and what is not just shows how much of a kid you still are.

Uh oh, somebody’s wife left him
