25+ year old club, what have you been playing lately?
/25+/
>zoomer club
Been playing AC Odyssey here and there and some Dishonored 2.
I like AC, but I feel like you can't really marathon the game anymore, or at least not like I used to.
Feels more like they're supposed to be played for an hour or two in the evening after work.
Were games like this ten years ago?
So incredibly samey, huge timewasters?
I dont have lot of time to play.....I go home from wageslaving, work out, watch a tv show, then I can play vidya a little. This week I only played 4 hours of Persona 5 so far
>26
Waiting for Pathologic 2 to drop.
Guess some Rimworld will do for now
Escape from Tarkov.
I still wish they would build a singleplayer RPG on the systems they built here, and apparently they will eventually with Russia 2028, but at the rate development for this is going I think that may be the release date. I also hope GSC is paying attention to some of the ideas (read; willing to steal them).
I've been playing Onimusha Warlords for the first time. I'm surprised how well Resident Evil + samurai works. I'm starting to like it more than the RE series.
The game of overdosing on sugar and carbs in the morning at work and hating myself in the evening for being fat in my peak age and everyday is a ground hog day where I end up with clear resolutions only to fuck it all up over and over again.
Thinking of playing Clear Sky because thats the only Stalker I haven't played, or maybe revisit FFX for some comfy nostalgia even though I know I will hate it.
Finally got around to put some serious time into Darkest Dungeon.
Good game.
Just joined 25 minutes ago
Been playing FF XII zodiac age, putting serious hours in while my life crumbles around me
Seven. Game is way better than what I expected. It has a few quirks and bugs, but nothing too big to ruin the experience. I can feel the love put into the game by the devs
Welcome to the club, fuccboi. It's all downhill from here. Hope you enjoy your weekly existential crisis.
Going full boomer tonight.
>that underwater segment
Got any serious advice for a 19 year old?
The Blood port but it's pissed me off to playing in spurts because it basically ruins the game for me by feeling like an alpha. I hope they fix it.
Outside of that the Xbox Ninja Gaiden Trilogy
I could probably make a video comparing each entry to their Sigma counterparts.
Clear Sky would probably be alright with mods but my vanilla play through was pretty painful when I beat it years ago. The last boss is a Helicopter. It does have some near things here and there though.
Mtg arena with finale of promise arclight phoenix, got to gold 2 but my work doesn't let me play anything else.
Titanfall 2 as usual
also purchased a 3ds because I want to catch up on the post-gba era. Currently trying monster hunter 3 since Ive never played those either, pokemon pearl will be next
Sekiro on weekends, still stuck on Lady Butterfly
The way the ending is handled ruined the game for me, and until that I was all in. I had even taken notes and ripped the map out of the game to use the setting as a baais for a GURPS game for my mates.
Killing Floor 2 before I leave for work, Vermintide 2 after I get off work and Arma 3 coop on weekends. Getting kind of bored of VT2 though, it doesn't have the lasting appeal of L4D2 despite what people told me when they convinced me to try it.
sherlock holmes - the devils daughter
its really good and fun, its just a little disapointing. thought its a single long case you have to narrow down. its jsut multiple short cases.
>Stalker cop
>the sims on ps2 (just out of curiosity)
>gta vice city stories
>Hitman 2
>steamworld heist
>So incredibly samey, huge timewasters?
I feel like that's ubisoft's new motto, just making HUGE games with very little depth. I did enjoy the south park games they released but that's kinda it as far as new games go
>Thinking of playing Clear Sky because thats the only Stalker I haven't played
worth playing for sure, just install SRP and tweak the combat so you don't get grenade spammed by enemies, landing headshots can also be a bit painful so you do with that as you will
congratulations
A bit of the original Rage. Its not bad but really annoying in a janky way.
World of Warcraft vanilla, human warlock.
Fucking finally a 25+ thread, I posted here last year when I was 24 and an user said come back when you are 25 and so here I am.
I did another playthrough of Cave Story, and then I bought Shovel Knight the other day and I love it.
Quit Yea Forums, join a gym, work on your education and for the love of god quit Yea Forums. It is not too late.
Someone post the Homer screencap
>27
Just got done playing A Hat in Time for the night. I feel kind of bored and disinterested with games lately except for The Binding of Isaac. I want something to challenge me but a game that I can play on my laptop in bed or on the couch despite the fact I have a gaming PC.
Although I recently watched Memories of Murder which has tempted me to replay Shenmue. I wish I were more interested in games. Everything sucks.
South park.
What, you don't enjoy the Kerillian taking all the healing potions for herself or the Sienna that won't stop shooting you in the back?
Thumper and Touhou.
Gonna be picking up that Wizardry game soon though, looking forward to it.
Polybius
Finally bought myself a PS4. Playing RDR2 and next The Last of Us.
Then all the Uncharted games probably. I've never had a console so yeah I'm catching up.
Fuck, it's been a couple of years since I played Cave Story, I might just do that.

>I am so happy you like it user. It was really hard to find you a gift this year, certainly harder than a gift for you sister when she was 28, I just needed to buy diapers for her baby hahaha
haha
so I am playing Rage 2 now
You know what? I've never played through Clear Sky but I'm going to do that now. See you in the zone, stalker.
Nice mom. Don't feel bad she's just trying to make you happy.
The levels just get monotonous after the 4/5th playthrough and after a certain point the unlocks stop giving me an incentive to keep going. The game needs workshop mods so people can make their own levels.
Yeah it had been a while for me too, such a perfect game and I adore the atmosphere. Have fun user.
do you have a good job at least user?
You got a good mom there user, cherish her. Some of us are not so lucky.
Not him but:
Do what you want to do now.
If you don't do it now it will be harder when you get older.
Things like losing your virginity, obtaining skills, doing seemingly impossible goals are more likely at that age and if you put it off it just gets harder and harder.
It may be a common view for many but as someone who grew up in an abusive household I always put off stuff until I was ready and on my own only to realize I wasn't ever truly ready and being by myself never helped.
Take that as you will from some loser on Yea Forums
Your mom!
I am something like a secretary in a university for 600 euros. Without vidya I would off myself long time ago.
I mean I can kind of see the appeal of having these timesinks, spend 30-40 bucks on sale and don't worry about what to play for the next three months, do a different subregion every night for an hour and you've got some mindless grinding with a slow overarching story.
But if you get bored after 10-12 hours because it's all the same and you're stuck at 8% completion I kinda lose focus and pick up a different game.
>tfw turned 30 last month
and since I've turned 30 I get hit with anxiety and depression over feeling I didn't make the best use of my time as a 20 something almost every other day. The worst part is I'm not even sure what I would've done differently besides maybe going to school, having a career, and going on a few more dates. Even playing video games doesn't bring me as much joy anymore.
I get like this every now and then and eventually something comes along and turns me on my head and I have a reignited passion for games. Hang in there, user.
25 is middle-aged??
ever tried any other hobbies? gardening is fun
Did you at least achieve the powers of a wizard?
just found out i fucked up my taxes, lads
guess i'll be spending the long weekend trying to keep the long hard cock of the irs away from my anus instead of finishing lobotomy corp
Since most trannies kill themselfs at 30-35 it's actually past middle age.
The majority of Yea Forums is getting close to retirement
It's middle-middle-aged.
Just beat P4G a few hours ago, made me nostalgic for the summer I first played it. Now wondering what to play next, want to start Trails 3rd because I need to have some type of JRPG escapism in my life, but I also want to play Stalker SOC after watching Chernobyl recently
Did that recently too
Great game for playing a round or two after work back when i had a job
habby birthday
>I did another playthrough of Cave Story
hell yes, was thinking of getting that on 3ds
its about the age you realize how much of a fuck up and loser you are
Yes. and it's not even worth it. Sure I can make coffee cups do a little dance, make small water spouts, and manipulate plant life, but what's the point when you have no one to share them with? It's just cheap party tricks.
Finished uncharted 4 and going through ds3 and digimon cs2
It's definitely the age I had my midlife crisis at.
I think I skipped a few years since they know me already.
lately i've been playing total war and picked up rage 2. i'm a friendless shut in, so i used to put a lot of hours into games, but since last year my interest in them has just stopped and if i do enjoy a game, i'll play it for a few days and then just drop it. i feel like this is an age thing. has this happened to anyone else?
30 here
>Diablo 2
>PUBG
>Total warhammer 2
>Some Risk of rain 2
the other day my best friend told me that he and his wife never want to have kids and i was so fucking happy. i don't know how i would live if the only person who still talks to me starting having kids and gave up vidya
Stop being such a negative nancy and take a hold of your life. If it's not now, it's never. I started lifting at 25 and finally am not ashamed to look at myself.
>29
>bought minecraft 2 weeks ago to play on a friend's server
>huge modpack, kinda overwhelming
i'm having fun, trying to build everything as ergonomic as possible. One of the few games I can play all day
>tfw the cashier at my grocery store now greets me by name and voices her concern about the amount of beer I buy
>tfw I started hitting different stores across town in rotation so they couldn't track the amount of alcohol I consume
Haha, so how's life my fellow kids?
I never started lifting and just stopped being ashamed of everything all the time. Being an unfit nogains is worse than being fit, but being an unfit nogains who's constantly cringing and apologising is far worse than either.
>implying I have time for videogames between wageslave job at a diner, doing an online uni course learning programming, spending time with my loving but needy wife, eating/sleeping and household chores
I'm 27 in July and this is all my life has become...
Although I do try and play some Pokemon romhacks and old GBA games on my phone, sooo...
played recettear and planescape torment today. Also a hat in time with anons and 100% OJ a bit.
I always buy different cans, like half and half or 4 types so that it looks like I have friends coming over.
Am I the only one here who's actually hopeful about the future? I've failed so many things in life that I'm still cleaning up the explosive shit that was my education, but it gets better day by day.
I recently picked up World of Warcraft after taking a break for a year. It's surprisingly fun to PvP and level all the classes, but that's about it. I don't see myself playing it for too long as the game has changed in way too many directions that I dislike. There are no PvP vendors. Can you imagine that? Even PvP is victim to the random loot and warforging system.
I actually switched to vodka since i feel it gives me less of a hangover and at least enables me to do about 4-5 hours of solid work around noon to be able to pay rent and groceries
The bad thing is that even the most relaxed cashiers get nervous when you start buying a bottle a day
Total War Warhammer II. Been enjoying it a lot.
I'll be your friend, buddy.
>balding
>not changing diet or workout but putting on weight
>got a decent job as a white collar worker, dress well for it
>learning Japanese
Soon I'll reach my goal.
Been replaying Etrian Odyssey V.
>save for the first time after creating my guild members
>already spent over 2 hours
Still think III and Untold 2 are the best games in the series.
Get the fuck out of here for a start.
turning 27 in a few days, been playing Battlefield 5 and playing drawing programs lately to make busty anime girls. Drawing is a videogame right?
mountain blade, i've been waiting for bannerlord for so long now
やらじゃないか。がんばるぞ。
Joined the club back in February and man the feelings of uselessness are hitting hard. Oh well, Ace Combat 7 still cheers me up a bit. Also found a mod for Borderlands 2 that makes it marginally less shitty, so I've been revisiting that.
>Also found a mod for Borderlands 2 that makes it marginally less shitty, so I've been revisiting that.
What mod? I stopped playing after my friends lost interest but have been wanting to go back and finish it, was a fun mindless shooter for me.
BL2 Reborn, installation process is a bit involved, but it still took me only about 20 minutes to get it up and running. Fully co-op compatible as long as everyone's running it.

30 years old, Tales of Zestiria
Hm, try faster than light or into the breach
Or take a break from gaming until you get into the mood again
>Pathalogic 2
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thats a good mum, be kind to her
27 but 28 next month.
Playing Yakuza 2, Kingdom Hearts, Yugioh: Duel Links.
I'm currently finding myself with games again, I like modern games too but I miss the time when games were simply enjoyed. I feel like modern society has made me reliant on the worst things and destroyed my mind via 24/7 stimulation with constant rewards and feedback, want some patience back and to "earn" things.
Current backlog for the future year is below, want to stop spending money on games above maybe like £100-200 a year till I balance myself.
Dino crisis
Dark chronicles
Martian Gothic
Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy Tactics
Radiant Historia
Resident Evil 2
Spyro and Crash Trilogy
Path of Exile 4.0
My Time at Portia
Dwarf Fortress
Nier Automata
Final Fantasy XV
Lunar 2
Maybe Breath of Fire?
Feel free to give ideas to jog memory of interesting older games.
What is it that compels you to drink?
Have you developed a dependency on alcohol, or is it something you do to pass the time?
I have a friend who I think has a severe alcohol problem. He's always drinking any chance he can get. He had a serving job where he got drunk in between shifts, and seems to drink multiple times a week.
The breaking point for me was one night when he kept asking for me to pour him whatever I had with the most alcohol content in it. After repeatedly trying to cut him off he kept guilt tripping me into giving him more, until I finally stopped being a passive faggot and put my foot down. Soon after he felt awkward and left, and unsurprisingly wound up with a DWI.
The fucker still hasn't learned his lesson because the next week afterward, he pressured me into buying a bottle of wine for him because his license was revoked.
I don't want to give up on him, but fuck if I want to be around him when he gets obnoxiously wasted.
Literally nothing but Underrail for the past 3 days
Looks cool, though I should have realized you need to start a new save for it. I'll check it out in the future, thanks all the same though.
It's not that bad for me yet, I mostly start drinking in the afternoon out of boredom
It's just that life seems more fun or interesting when I'm drunk, so I get my work and groceries done in the morning when I'm still sober/hungover, have a meal around noon and then start drinking.
I don't really get wasted, I just maintain a constant level of being slightly drunk
27 year old neet diagnosed with generalized anxiety which is going untreated and starting a new job at a hospital tomorrow. God help me. Been playing deus ex HR to take my mind off it
Life isnt over, the 20ies are there to be wasted, 30 is a good time to get your shit together
If you feel down try sports. Whenever I feel like absolue shit i go running and I always feel better afterwards. Some people prefer workout, some just a simple walk
Ganbare now, use the day and always be grateful
Been replaying final fantasy 7 remake on ps4 and final fantasy 1 gba version. Gotta find the time to actually finish them but job and gf starting to take up all my time.
you get along with the feeling of hopelessness pretty quickly.
i lost my job/car/licence last year because of this country's shitty police. So all I do is play Nes games and wank
26
Just started Legend of Dragoon.
Labyrinth of Refrain, Lobotomy Corp
Siege is pretty much all I play currently.
I just play solo and I wish I could stop, it's a very frustrating experience but I miss playing online competitively with friends.
I'm playing Divinity/Overcooked 2 with my gf now and again but it's hard to commit to playing Divinity and Overcooked is a relationship test.
What happened?
I've been so fucking tempted but keep waiting for the expansion.
Godspeed user. I can't afford treatment or therapy right now but I'm starting a job that will change everything in a few weeks and I'm fucking terrified, I know how you feel. Whatever happens, the day will come and then be over and you will still be you
Not him but dont waste time dude seriously i cant stress that enough. Do everything you want to do now. Get fit play a intrument or whatever the fuck just do it now
Play Dead Cells.
how the fuck did you get the remake you fucking liar
same here, waiting on Pathologic 2.
Otherwise, Morrowind Multiplayer (Nerevarine Prophecies) and some Mordhau
Thank you for the advice, user. Maybe I will take up martial arts again. Try Judo this time.
Schizophrenic 30 year old here. Ran through Doom(2016) and now I'm trying to figure out what else to play. The days are starting to get boring without a way to be more productive, but I can't manage to make my self be productive.
Thank god I already had that phase with 21, self pity helps absolutly nobody
Chrono trigger
Feels good to finally be a 25 yo boomer
I have to leave for work in 10 minutes and I'm sitting in my underpants wondering if I should buy pic related after work. Anyone tried it?
What is there to life. I workout and i try to do stuff during the day to keep busy and productive but its nothing. What the point
30 here. On workers comp due to this accident so playing the most vidya I’ve ever played in the last three years. Usually when working I play 2-3 hours a day, now I’m playing upwards of 7-8 throughout the entire day. Making a lot of headway on octopath at the moment while chiseling at tomb raider and rdr2 on the side when I want something different.
Besides that, everything’s going great at work and life. Things are very smooth with the gf, closest we’ve been since forever since I’m not traveling at the moment. Things are good at work with a few projects lined up. Prospect of moving to nyc is still in the air, something I’m considering against due to my qol back home.
Hope everything goes well for you guys.
Nope
There is no point user, do what you want to with the time you have left
Thanks man, hope everything goes smoothly for you. Pic related can ensure that it does; it destroys and anxiety and depression, lasts all day and will make you outgoing af. Can’t take it everyday though because your tolerance will go up rapidly and it will become ineffective. I need to order some myself but I have to get paid first. Everybody here should to try it, it’s truly amazing.
I hit a rock a couple of centimeters off of a 50mph road. Car flipped over. I had to crawl out. Later a meathead cop came and insulted me for living at home with my parents amongst other intimidations ("you're lucky I didn't take you back and mess you up" etc) I was delivering food for a restaurant but they didn't tell me that I had to have business insurance (none of the other drivers working there did) so that was my licence revoked, my car totaled and my job lost.
No sympathy from anyone and I had to pay a fine. My Mum discovered her brother's dead body last year and now she has cancer.
Join the club.
I've picked up studying Blender so I can make cool stuff as a hobby, find something for yourself too to pass the time.
Yeah, porn too, but it's not a primary goal
There is a part of our brains that need to "work" and to be productive, something grindy and soulless, if you don't you'll always feel like a shit.
But once you've satisfied that itch, you can enjoy everything else unhindered (Assuming you didn't stack your plate in a way you weren't ever really OK with).
There's no issue with falling out of interest potentially with old hobbies but try stuff. If you want to enjoy anything like games in a pure way like when we are kids, you have to unburden the mind which is naturally cumbersome so you can do what you want peacefully.
any good detective game?
Or a good be nothing get rich and enjoy riches game?
>28
I haven't played games in a long time
I don't even know why i'm still here
Hotel dusk. Gunpoint
Also have been playing AC Odyssey, and youre absolutely right its not a marathon game anymore. You think as big as it is and as much as theres to do, it suffers from being too big and too open. Older cames were more packed in a smaller zone but it didnt feel like a chore to see and do everything. Cant help but play Ac Odyssey for an hour and get overwhelmingly bored. And at the end of that hour do i feel accomplished? No. I feel like i wasted my fucking time.
28 in a couple months. All I play is Doom II wads. Play Black Ops 4, Apex and WWZ with my buddies on saturday nights tho.
27 here. Just finished Bound By Flame.
I actually enjoyed it quite a lot. Was a breath of fresh fucking air to play that in 2019. 100% non SJW, bros before hoes was a viable route. Randval is pretty cool. Music and voice acting were 10/10

Mordhau and DoW2.
I am sorry to tell you user.
But: Meh
I'm 29 tomorrow and I'm experiencing a lot of ennui.
I used to play guitar very well until I started getting tendonitis. I spent the last few years painting minis and now I'm just frustrated and don't enjoy it. I don't buy games anymore because I know I won't finish them.
I don't get anything out of my hobbies now
26 here. I'v been stuck on my shitty laptop because I finally moved out from my mom's basement so I was only playing old games like Baldur's
Better try and fail and not try and have regrets down the line, don't stay down after a breakup for too long and when looking for a career don't focus entirely on enjoyment and good wage, try to find a balance in between the two. And most importantly, after you're finish with school/ college and start working, time will pass much fucking faster than you're accustomed to. In no time you'll wake up and you'll be almost 30
how do you cope with not being able to play your guitar anymore? I've been playing since my teens too and I know if I'd lose that I'd 100% off myself, it's literally the only thing that keeps me from going crazy
Finished Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 Imperial campaign last week.
What should I play, can't decide.
Choices are:
>Persona 4
>Yakuza 0
>Far Cry New Dawn
>Pathologic 2
>Catherine Classic
>lately I've been wishing I could get a wife and make kids
Having money, time and love, but no social skills has placed me here. I play games to forget but it hurts sometimes.
hope you heal up soon.
Not too soon though, you've got backlog
Got the plat on Sekiro the other day, now currently playing pic related for the first time, on my snes mini.
By picking it up and then experiencing a huge amount of pain and then wanting to die.
I remember playing through tracks like Hangar 18 or whatever and being able to do it, and now my hands can barely get through Where is My Mind? without giving me 2 weeks of grief
Pseudo boomers
>32
Almost finished with Atelier Lydie and Sue. But haven't played in a couple of days. Also Granblue, PriCon, and Dragalia Lost; KMR has me by the balls.
A technologist in Arcanum. The combat's still kinda shit, but at least I can just end it in seconds by hitting everything with the Pyrotechnic Axe.
Age of Mythology. I'm not really into strategy games but it's good to branch out. It's fun and comfy.
I love Blender, specially after having to work with 3DS Max for so many years. I hope you keep at it, it's a lot of fun.
Return of the Obra Dinn is great and the only game that I know of where you have to do "real" detective work and not just follow a linear investigation.
How many gray hairs do you have now?
Torchlight 2 and Cold Waters
Cold Waters any good? I've been looking for a sub sim every since SH5 turned out to be massive fucking disappointment
Thanks user! Still have about 2 weeks of therapy and recovery and then it’s back to light work. I do miss working so looking forward to that. This break has restarted my love for vidya, and while traveling I’ll take my switch so I’ll def work through the backlogb

>tfw gray hairs at 26 and hair loss is starting
Based 3.6 poster.
I started getting gray hairs at 24, for some reason I just started getting a whole bunch of them in one spot on one my sideburns.
Sides of my head are 70% gray and receding hairline since 20, now 25 and I will have to shave by 30.
Fixed YS8 for my Win7 rig and am playing that like a madman right now after 1 year of dropping it due to crashing every 5 min.
Bought Shovel Knight and finished replaying main scenario, had already played it once through pirating. Plague/Specter Knight after I finish YS8.
>tfw not a single man in my family lost hair
>in the worst case scenario they just thinned out a bit
feels good man
Morrowind. Loads of it.
Plus a bit of Panzer Corps with EU3 planned.
31 here. Recommended me some games where I can get over feeling stupid for not putting in for a new position at my job.
None. My life is very low-stress; hell, vidya gives me more stress than anything. Feels good man. About the only thing that feels good.
Planescape Torment. The story is amazing, a lot of weird shit happens, I like it. Mechanics are meh though.
From the Depths. Takes actual autism to get your head around it but feels great when you actually start building good shit
On occasion I'll find a single pure white hair, like one every two years. What does it mean?
Are you me?

vermintide 2 and anno 1800
Did a fighty playthrough of Age of Decadence. Axe/block + Imperial Guard. Also played through Dungeon Rats twice.
been chipping away at Doom for a couple weeks now. I'm in the last level, I have the last energy ray or whatever to deactivate so I'm basically almost done.
also, Mankind Divided but that's a slow-ass burn, the game does an awful job of pushing me forward
It's a pretty solid sub sim. Graphics are really nice, and you have a number of US sub classes you can use depending on the campaign. Missions can get a little repetitive, but you can easily mod it.
It means you're the man now dog!

I spent years depressed and wanting to kill myself but when I turned 25 last month I kind of just accepted it, is that weird? I joined the gym and I play Vidya, my days mostly consist of helping my sis with her kids those little guys were the only thing that stopped me killing myself over the years
I have learned to accept it and I am much happier now. Live your life how you want anons and don't ever feel guilty about it.
Rainbow Six Siege, because it's basically the only thing my friends play with me any more.
>ennui
I had to look that up, but I'm only 25 and already feel random onsets of that. Well, that and the crippling depression of realising that because it's been 8 years since I was even sort of close with a girl that I might as well be a virgin again anyway.
pay a hooker
Yes, user, I deserve it. Apparently it had more pay and a qt THICC black girl works in that department.
How do i get good at that? Hmu nigga we can work together
Most are skanks around here probably riddled with STDs. I have thought of going to the Netherlands and using the red light district there but I'm not really bothered anymore honestly
>vermintide 2
My man. Favorite class? I personally like Bright Wizard, Huntsman and Shade.
Get off Yea Forums and have some fun with your damn life. The second I finished university I got snapped up by a firm, I was so excited originally but it felt like a couple weeks passed and suddenly I’m 30. I put off so many holidays and important time with family and friends only to further a career I don’t care about anymore. I have a comfortable amount of savings and am decently well off but it’s really not worth it. If I could do it all over again I’d do something crazy like backpack across the Andes or live in a van and go coast to coast in North America taking gig jobs along the way. There’s no chance of me getting out of the corporate machine and doing that now.
This moment in time is the only one you’ve got user, don’t let it go to waste.
Just fucking travel and have a lot of fun and/or sex.
War Thunder. The game isn't great. I just like looking at and commandeering the planes and tanks.
Don't. Unless you really don't care at all, you'll get a pretty strong moral hangover. And b y that it means you must REALLY not give a shit at all, which I doubt if there is people you love and care for, and also care for what they think.
I thought I didn't care and it still happened to me.
uh oh
Lmao no you don’t. You get over that shit real quick. Moral dilemma lmao
Anyone 27+ lost their interest in vidya, specifically multiplayer?
Easier said than done, unless youre well off then. You and I both know that cross country shit is bullshit, youre better off working for the corporate beast and starting a family at this point. Unless you find a group of friends and start something
I've never had much interest in multiplayer to begin with. I succumb to occasional addictions like CSGO but that's that.
The games that I enjoy playing require an insane amount of autism in multiplayer, stuff like tactical shooters that are almost retro at this point, various sim etc.
I want to play Hidden and Dangerous 2 with someone at some point but that is a game that you end up retrying a level for 20 times in single player, so you can imagine how tiring it gets in multi then. Doesn't help that most of Yea Forums can't play anything without spouting memes left and right.
Also it doesn't help that I really cannot stand the absolute state of Steam in year 2019
Tomb Raider custom levels.
Way better than nu-lara games.
Moral hangover for what? Fucking a prostitute where it is legal? And my loved ones wouldn't know I did it obviously.
Been playing Pokerstars VR on my quest. Waiting for WoW classic
I'm afraid I'll turn 30 and still be lurking in Yea Forums, the only thing change being my age. I hope we all make it bros.
I feel you brother
If Im lucky enough I might go to gamescom this year and finally play it
Brofist, I replayed 1 last autumn.
Yesterday I played theHunter COTW. Disappointed they still haven't fixed the ethics bullshit.
>don't stay down after a breakup
Redundant advice.
>remember how 10 years ago there were about 15 web pages that I used to daily check
>today its just Yea Forums and maybe another forum from time to time
Internet simply stopped being fun. I can't stand the look and function of modern web sites.
It's something I personally really regret, I wasted my years between 19-24 not being able to get over a break up, so it's just an advice I wanted to give the lad just in case
Fine, go for it then. It's not like I shat on you for doing it, I just advised against it. But I also said that if you're sure you don't care, then I said it wouldn't cause any issue
Do it, why not?
Or as our kind here says
Do it faggot
Don't do this , it won't change anything between you and real women.
Yeah, it's just a temporary placebo. If anything, it's more likely to make things worse.
It’ll get sex out of his mind. Just do it and stop wondering. It’s just a hooker.
Sorry user I wasn't try to sound mean, thanks for the advice honestly I hadn't thought about the moral side of it at all until you said. But like I said my virginity doesn't really bother me anymore so if it happens it happens and if not then that's ok too.
I'm not exactly hopeful but I have nowhere to go but up or homeless. Got a job through nepotism and got kicked off after one actual day's work because of, ironically, someone else wanting their son to work there. Got booted out to make room, dad got pissed. Did my job with flying colors and didn't get hurt so the HR lady had little room to stand on.
I'm more or less a social outcast but I've made my peace with it. No reason to let things I have little control over bog me down.
I'm honestly not worried either way, I'm particularly resourceful and make the most out of what I get. I could get away with a cheap lifestyle or figure something out if I end up homeless, I'm clean so I might stand a fairer chance of crawling out of it. I just need one person willing to not shun a 26 year old with no adult milestones sans an associate's in accounting. Would've gone there longer but the unironic boomer grandpa decided I should be able to find work with just that. Unfortunately the Accountemps in my area is too busy fucking around to actually help find work.
But hey, at least I still got a roof over my head and video games/chores to do. I honestly don't want anything in particular from life, spend most of my time thinking or daydreaming anyway. Pretty sure I'm one of those walking corpses people refer to, the ones with zero ambition/passion in life.
>p-placebo! Moral dilemma! What will your priest think!
God, incel whitelnights are pathetic as fuck.
I feel you bro. Had my first real relationship at 20-21. She broke up with me one week before christmas 2010 because ?????.
Went out, tried to hook up in clubs, but I had no luck - nor did I actually try. Then met current gf at 25 and haven't looked back every since, but those years inbetween were kinda sad, especially since I was kinda bitter because of the way it had ended. Today I know I dodged a bullet with that cunt.
He can jack off and get the same result while saving money.
True, have you tried playing with someone from here? Half of them end up being mexican or brazilian and spout lame shit, and that was on fucking discord which i got duped in downloading and promptly deleted
Newer multiplayer games that require autistic levels of dedication to become decent isnt for me anymore, unless theyre games decade+ old as you
How the fuck did you not know that.
It's the point which determines if you're a failure or not
Did you party? No well too back because nobody your age parties anymore
Did you go to college? No? Well you're going to feel old and awkward now.
Did you get a girlfriend or wife? No? You're alone.
Do you have friends? I hope so because you're not going to make any at this age. Everyone is already in their cliques.
Job? If it's good you did ok. If you're still in retail or fast food. You failed.
The first time is awkward at best and traumatic at worst, there is nothing "special" about it. A hooker will just clear that mystifying veil. And like the Markovnikov rule, you have something, you get more.
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
That's the only game I play nowadays
New Vegas, I only played it a bit 9 years ago and thought it was boring so I'm giving it another chance. I'm only 12 hours in, haven't got to Vegas yet, it's okay, it is pretty dull but quite addictive.
Visually it looks like shit, it hasn't aged well at all. Skyrim looks a hell of a lot better and it only came out a year after NV. It's also buggy, especially VATS
>target a Legion assassin with a super sledge to shoot him three times in the head
>char does nothing, doesn't even draw gun
>legion bloke comes at me in slow motion
>hits me a few times
>die in VATS
The Legion assassins are fucking ridiculous, they started coming at low level and nearly destroyed me on hard mode, I had to kite them around.
I bought all the DLC as it was on sale, I hope I'll play the game long enough to play the DLC otherwise it was a waste of money.
I'm glad things worked out for you, senpai, I didn't have much luck yet but things are looking up since at least I'm out of the loop and looking for relationships
Witcher 3 when I have the will to play.
I installed NieR Automata with the intention of playing it after tw3
Playing Parasite Eve finally. I've known about it forever, I just hadn't gotten around to playing it before now.
You know how when you're a kid, you want to hurry up and get older? Well for whatever reason, gen Y and Z still haven't grown out of that.
Discovered how?
Sorry to hear that.
My mom died from cancer few years ago, wish it were me instead.
That kind of scary. I've been doing the exact same and I'm also 26.

This hurts, sucks you feel this way but I can relate. Im lucky to have decent folk that still care about me. What are your plans moving forward why not look into one of those pharmacy tech jobs, im planning on making one final move while i still can before i get stuck doing a mundane job or something until death.
How do you not have friends at 25 how does that happen. At this point you realize college friends are slowly disappearing while still connecting with people from grade school.
Having friends or a friend can net you two of those things from that list
CSGO god knows why.
It was free, I was bored, I actually enjoyed it until I reached Gold Nova 4 (took me 70 hours) where it turned into a fuckfest of AWPs, extremely toxic people, and actually became depressing to play. I've noticed the hitboxes are really off too, and I'm starting to notice some other shitty things about the game. I've dropped down to GN3 now and for some reason I'm playing worse, going from 1st or 2nd each match to last, I don´t understand it at all.
It's not worth the time to train and improve, there's no reward, it only gets worse at higher ranks.
At least you didn't marry your first actual gf.
A friend of mine did. We rarely see him anymore.
And recently I discovered that he is running for a political party. He used to be unpolitical and kinda leaning into the other direction he is now apparently a part of. I am 110% sure that wasn't his idea.
Time to mourn a good man, he died in 2013.
I got into fighting games a couple years ago, I really like them but i've been on and off the grind. Currently jobless, trying to teach myself to program java so I'll have an actual skill but its really slow going.
>delivering food without business insurance
>I didn't do it because everyone else was an idiot
Mate that's your own fucking fault. Sorry to hear about your mum though.
Go to Uni if you want to get into programming, the entry requirements for a non CS graduate are too high

God I'm so ugly and fucking lonely. Is it still possible for me for date/fuck cute 18yo coll get girls or is it too late.
middle age starts in the late 30's/ early 40s
people in their 20s are still young as fuck considering with modern medicine people live up to their 80s
I mean fuck when you are in your 20s you are finally free to do whatever you want if you arent bound by obligations like family or debt
Hookers are illegal. Where would I even find one? Also I'm still living with my parents.
Explain.
No, it's actually more chill on AK ranks.
i've been considering going to a local community college, being jobless and living with mum I think I qualify for a pell grant. Gotta get myself to actually go outside and *do* it.
28 at the moment, when I was 25 I dated a high school senior until her second year of uni. 18yo pussy really makes you feel godlike.
28 here. Still replaying GTA:SA. This is one long ass game. My weekend will probably involve a lot of drinking even though I can't really afford it.
27 here. Doing alright all considered. I work part time in retail which is lame, but the people are okay and the hours suit. Live with gf in the house she owns. She has a pretty good job so she does most of the working and I look after the house/dog. I have lots of time but I'm alone a lot, besides the dog. Smoke too much weed, but I'm trying to cut down. I try to focus on creative pursuits (writing a book and recording an album) but they're slow going. Hopefully I can make something good enough that will justify feeling like kind of a burden to my partner, even though she assures me she doesn't feel that way.
Last game I finished was Days Gone, it was actually pretty good. Currently replaying The Evil Within and yesterday I started Xenoblade Chronicles X. The music is ear rape but the world is cool.
If you look at software development jobs many do require a CS degree but they also require a shitload of other skills and experience you would only really gain from working at a company. Starting off in CS without a degree is going to be fucking hard the degree helps you gett started in a graduate position.
Wtf how did you get a highschool girl. That's hot.
It was the opposite for me, all the girls were repulsive and/or old at my work.
Mostly the unemployment issue, got my first job when I was 25 and most of the time I'm snubbed over the gap and not having a license/car. I also live in a relatively small "city" (it's more like a town honestly), as a result there aren't many places that are within a reasonable amount of transit time so I can't just spam and win a shit-tier job. Chances are I'll have to go back to dishwashing part-time so my hands aren't completely raw from the water exposure or pray I can at least land a different dead-end job. Also doesn't help that when I do dishwashing full-time I never have time or energy to job hunt for something else. Came home every day sore and exhausted. All I could do was shower and pass out.
I'm laid off until July so I've been trying to clear up my backlog, but now been playing a lot of Team Sonic Racing since release.
>Did you party? No well too back because nobody your age parties anymore
False, and even then, partying is not for everyone. I had many opportunities to do it back then but it wasn't my thing, I'd rather just sit in a bar with a couple of friends and talk.
>Did you go to college? No? Well you're going to feel old and awkward now.
False, there's a lot of older people studying at universities, it's something accepted. Not everyone can pay for it when they're 20 and there's nothing awkward about it.
>Did you get a girlfriend or wife? No? You're alone.
False, many people get a first gf or marry in their 40s, nothing wrong with that.
>Do you have friends? I hope so because you're not going to make any at this age. Everyone is already in their cliques.
Absolutely false, people are constantly making new friends no matter the age. I'm super antisocial and lost all my childhood/teenage friendships but still somehow managed to find some great friends that I've met in the last 6-7 years.
I fucking hate this "I'm 25 I've already given up" bullshit attitude.
Just can't get enough
I'm 26, was NEET for years did nothing etc, IO'm going to a good uni in Setepmber to do CS with no A Levels. Are you in the UK? If you do an HNC in Computing or Electronics Engineering (which is what I'm doing) you can get into uni with them and you don't need experience or A levels.
just finished reading some books, want something to play. How is sekiro 25+ bros?
> first gf or marry in their 40s
I mean I can see many people getting their first gf in their 20s but 40s?
that seems really fucking uncommon
got any statistics to back that claim up?
why's it in moonrunes
Met her at a club unironically, got drunk and chatted her up. Had to wait a month before I took her virginity and then I gradually trained her into all kinds of deranged shit I'm into.
We used to fight a lot and distance became a problem, I like to think that I'm better off without her but I do miss her terribly. Been single for just as long now. Going from aforementioned godlike feeling to feeling absolutely pathetic is a weird downward spiral.
People on this website think just because you are not a virgin that shit is all easy after but that's not the case.
26 and enjoying fan games of already existing games like megaman.
also warcraft 3
He said "many", ie, a weasel word.
How the fuck do you reach 25 with no friends and as a virgin? How the fuck do you let that happen?
So you groomed an 18. What a badass. I’m sure that felt amazing. Did you get her to tattoo your name on her?
I just don't like going out.
32 here.
Been playing monster hunter world to catch up and "beat" it before Iceborn. Pretty good game, even if the map and monster variety is lacking. The quality of life factors add immensely to the monster hunter gameplay cycle.
I stopped giving a shit about competitive multiplayer games around age 30.
I just don't meet any girls, not because I'm avoiding them, just because I don't meet any from my hobbies and interests and I don't go clubbing or have large friend circles. 26 and a virgin, I don't really care, it'll happen when it happens.
Based as fuck I would've had non-stop bareback sex with a girl if I took her virginity. That shit is hot.
It was very easy I promise you
>groomed
AKA seduced, you s o y addled little communist goblin.
Because where the fuck do you go to make friends/girlfriend when you don't have any to go with?
It's like getting a job that requires experience.
Monster hunter world and ass creed odyssey
Not much really, there's no games out there really capturing my interest. I was thinking about getting BF5 for Firestorm but every single time I read about the game it just makes it more and more depressing.
Just been playing a small amount of War Thunder even though it's not really that fun and frustrating as fuck when you get gaijined by some bullshit.
>tattoo
Fuck no. I did get her into some other things that now make my day to day life of solitude quite difficult because whenever I think of her i know she is doing those things with someone else.
On the plus side, I lived out all my kinks and fetishes to the point where I don't feel sexual frustration at all, only a mental burden when I realize that it's been a while since i got laid last time.
Didn't use a condom once, took her virginity bareback. But also didn't ever get to cum in her either. She liked to swallow so it evened out. These younger girls today are up for all kinds of fucked up shit as long as you are not too pushy and know how to present it to them.
>let
Can't say I didn't try, at least the friends part anyway. Sex seemed/seems kinda boring.

I used to do hard labor back a few years back and it sucked. Coming home i had no desire to do anything but eat, watch tv for a bit and sleep to do it again the next day. Not sure how life in a small town works but arent people mostly close with eachother? Any way you can find someone and maybe work on a project together like art and start a patreon or something? Good luck user hope shit gets better for the both of us
>I've been so fucking tempted but keep waiting for the expansion.
Not him but I've completely stopped my playthrough even though I was physically craving it because of the expansion. I was hoping it's gonna come out soon, but it's been 6 months now
Playing through Dragon Age Inquisition for the first time, after it was on sale, and I had just beaten DA2.
Don't get why people say Cassandra is the only romancable female option that doesn't suck (unless your limiting yourself to only females you can add to your party)
I'm going for Josephine right now, but I can see why she wouldn't be for everyone. However, I dare you to tell me one thing wrong with Harding.
I don't like going to clubs and shit like that, or going out. When I see a girl I think is cute I will look at her but I never approach first, I am afraid of rejection and think if she likes me she should approach me. Lost my friends when I left school and never knew where to go to make new ones.
I'm literally in same boat.
Playing GTA5 Online with some dude I met in class last semester
Holy shit I want Uni to be over forever, pls don't make me go back, it sucks being older than 9/10th of the class
I was 25 years old when Vanilla WoW launched in EU and came into my life and stayed there for about 10 years+ continuosly.
Now I get barely any enjoyment from vidya. Playing AC: Odyssey, Destiny 2 and the first Ni No Kuni mostly. Life is empty, nothing feels like anything and I have no job (also no friends, no gf).
>However, I dare you to tell me one thing wrong with Harding.
Not romancable
26 here

Pretty solid twisted metal clone
Please don't tell me you're going to be playing Classic.
Stay inside and play vidya all the time! Also, not being handsome, not having a high-paying job and good social skills kinda help with that.
Don't know why I even bother answering these bait questions, but this place is so infested with normie scum that I don't even know anymore.
Got drunk and downloaded Skyrim the other week. It’s not bad but not as good as I remember it being when I was 19. I’m excited for Bloodlines 2 that’s probably the only game I’ve been hype for since RDR2 which was great but I played it to death. Either way I’ve come to the point where the crushing feeling of wasting my life outweighs any fun I get out of video games.
34 here, playing old PC games from my youth. Last time I played this was at 15fps average on a CRT with a Model M keyboard.
I returned to Battle for Wesnoth for first time in over 10 years. It's pretty decent.
I just finished Curse of the Moon in anticipation of Ritual of the Night. I was playing the DS Castlevania games before that.
Really? I got the distinct impression both from the game and the Internet that she was. Whatever.
>I am afraid of rejection
That is the single most important trait you have to LOSE. Seriously, just do it. The older I get the more I realize how little anybody cares about me but my actual friends.
This sounds bad, but in the practice of interacting with strangers, it basically frees you of any duty to behave. Just do something. The first few times you will be shot down and shunned, but once you realize they will have forgotten about you in a week tops (if you were really, really badly/weirdly behaving), then it doesn't matter.
Get an engineering degree. Preferably Computer engineering or Electrical. IF you're a brainlet, get a computer science degree (GET A BSC NOT A BA IN COMP SCI, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, ASK SOMEONE). Go into debt if you have to. Do you have any parents/relatives/family friends who can help you get an engineering job? If yes, get them to help you finding internships. If no, SHAMELESSLY Network with grad students and professors and other undergrad peers.Talk to everyone you know and let them know you're really desperate for an internship. Usually grad students and professors are really nice and willing to help. But you have to ask.
Get over any hangups you have with "muh social anxiety". ITs a meme. You dont have depression or anxiety or social axniety. Its just called being young. Youre in a shitty mental/emotional place because your dumb boomer/gen x parents never prepared you for the world.
Get a house as soon as possible. Dont live in a big city, paying rent. Find a suburban job and start making payments on a house. Get a job with 401k and healthcare. Find a traditional woman and make lots of babies.
I think I covered most things. Good luck and godspeed
You get to occasionally flirt with her but that's it. It never goes anywhere.
Not sure. Probably not. Maybe (I still have an unused game card).

This. Sure rejection hurts a bit, especially tomorrow morning when you selfcringe for a bit but its gone the other day. Everyone gets rejected at some point, and you will get better at it with time.
3d Sam games from about ten years ago are also very good, worth looking into.

Anyone else who has being a self-reliant loser as their life goal and actually succeed it reaching it?
You will be NTR incarnate, Godspeed user.
I got myself a great PhD position that I neither care about, nor am good at.
I've been here a year and a half now. I was sad and angry at first, because I moved to another country away from all of my friends and felt any personality I had slowly drain away due to loneliness and depression.
It's at the point where I'm not sad any more, at least. I've gotten pretty robotic. I just work, exercise, home, maybe a show or some vidya. I've stopped thinking about things. Maybe some day I can be a person again, I hope.

How have your parents only been starting to hate you when you've been mooching for 8+ years? You must be rich. But I do empathize with the kiss less virgin part. Feels bad and thinking about it makes me want to just play more games
I wouldn't know, I've lived in relative isolation. When I make attempts to socialize I'm too different from people and it makes them/us extremely uncomfortable. The gap only widened with adulthood. I've more or less had to scrap the whole "make social contacts" thing because I don't have the resources or life experiences to build rapport. It's alien enough to me that I can't really lie about it convincingly. It's not like I'm negative towards people like I was in k-12, I've already fixed that. I'd also rather not pick something to do with the arts because I'm just garbage at them and I start succumbing to rage fits.
I was rather on the nose when referring to "walking corpse", I don't really have any desires in life. No hobby jumps out at me in particular anymore, to the point where chores and work are equally interesting.
Also, if I were to go out and do hobbyist things my family would disapprove because I should be working. If I get booted out of this household I won't have anywhere to go because I have no contacts. If I fall into homelessness I doubt I will ever get anywhere, I could save money easier than most of the drunkards but I wouldn't have anything I could realistically spend it on.
I might get there one day.
In a few years.
Possibly.
The Telltale ones? I think I have those on my library, gonna check them out later, though I'm not quite sure with the quality.

Is travelling alone fun? I'm not the social type.
"Have fun in your youth" Is probably the worst advice to give to budding young people. Because all that will happen is they will go into debt, accumulate no skills, and generally just waste their life such that, when they finally do sober up in their mid 20s, they will have a fire under their ass as they frantically try to find a stable position in their life.
This is not only the worst advice to give to someone who is naive and inexperienced, but its downright evil.
>Epstein-Barr
Well fuck, that shit can fuck you up longtime. Good riddance, user.

that insurance costs like £2000. I was working a minimum wage job three days a week and had to maintain my car. I would literally be paying half of my wages on insurance.
No not at all. Always kept to myself and made sure to get shit done around the house and return to my room. Only time i leave is to use the restroom, eat or do any favors they ask of me.
Its suffering and i rarely get motivated to play anything unless its strictly single player story heavy whether its shit or not

Not him, but in my country sick leave depends on the type of contract you have, how long you've been working, how long you're away and some other factors. You could get 5 full weeks compensated, but you could also only get a couple days.
What job?
The only people who post their steam profiles are mentally ill or literal children. Everyone who is a sane and responsible adult is basically too busy to have friends, or has the same clique they've been gaming with for 5-10+ years
Connecting with others online isn't the issue, it's connecting with others offline.
>due to being raised under a glass bell
what does that even mean?
>nobody posted that tree
Shame.
oh god I gotta replay Dino Crisis
My parents have no friends either
Friends are a meme

I'm starting to experience wrist pain, instead of the usual uncomfortable feeling I've gotten used to. It's not too late to start stretching, right, r-right guys?

For now, I will continue trying to hand Thedas over to the Qunari.
The powers are not entirely a lie but it's not actual magic, just the ability to truly not give a fuck about consequences anymore because things can't really get much worse. If you believe you don't care now then wait until you become a wizard. I find it easier to talk to people now than ever because rejection means nothing to me and am talking to a cutie a lot lately.
>instead of the usual uncomfortable feeling
Why the fuck did you let it get this bad? Anyway, get some painkillers, apply cold gel and start those damn stretches.
Look but don't touch, on steroids. Parents obsessing about every fucking thing like it's the end of the world. Makes you afraid to try anything on your own in fear of what they would say or how they'll react.
>hand Thedas over to the Qunari.
HOLD THE FUCK ON
Premarital sex is degenerate and most people my age smell like cigarettes and drive really fast and do nothing but drink alcohol as a hobby. No thanks.
divos 2 with some friends, it's ok.
31 here, working full-time and retraining for a career I actually want in my spare time so don't have as much time for gaming as I'd like. Currently playing through Lobotomy Corporation and Dragon's Dogma. Finally completed Persona 5 last week after what felt like a fucking life time.
>Why the fuck did you let it get this bad?

buggy, literally useless AI, barren open world, only a handful of enemy types. Combat is very fun but it's super easy even on nightmare(after you get the damage reduction upgrades) and most of your time is spent driving and listening to npcs. 6/10 16 hours in.
>mordhau
still pretty fun, played my first 80 hours seriously so now I just play like a scumbag with traps, firepots, barriers and abusing bloodlust 8/10 at about 100 hours

You don't think they could do a better job of running the place?
Ah yes, fedora does not want to settle for anything below his illogical ideal.
Just waiting for death, bros.
fuck me I've been getting this from playing Mordhau, since I hold the shift key to sprint 80% of the time I'm playing, my left hand is in ruins from playing about 100 hours in two weeks.

>playing Ezio Collection
Any details about my friendless life are my business. Some of you faggots are making this too much like /soc/ and I suggest you fuck off back there.
I have no friends online or irl, I have steam friends from years ago but don't even talk to them. I want to make new friends and I even tried exactly what you said here on Yea Forums but the only other people who tried to add me were furries and cringey memelords
well what do you think of it user, is the ac2 trilogy as good as you remember? I always liked exploring the maps, they were always pretty nice.
I'd marry any woman who wants to have a stable relationship, big family and homeschool our many children, but women don't want families. They want careers, they want to travel, they want flashy ostentacious drama filled relationships.
It's really sad to me. I guess I can always start a family through surrogacy and hiring a nanny, but it's really not something I want to do.
>hiring a nanny
So you want a pet, not a true obligation that would take away off your video game time. Classic male thinking.
Just turned 30, been sticking to multiplayer alot recently because life is hectic right now between new job/planning my wedding/working on some old ambitions. Have a group of friends I regularly play Dead by Daylight, Monster Hunter World or Division 2 with. If I do game solo, I got The Nonary Games and Resident Evil Revelations collection during the PS4 Golden Week sale so I'm slowly going through those.
fucking based, one of my favorite series back in middle school. Did you learn the combos yet? Who's your favorite driver? Play Vigilante 8 second offense too, it's great.

I feel a bit bored, I should try something completely new.
That it is. Completed AC2 100%, currently on Brotherhood which is a lot shorter and less impact full than 2 but it is a side-game so that's understandable. It's basically taking up most of my time and I'm ok with this.
Playing San Andreas on PC
Not even much due to nostalgia but because I never finished that game.
Children need mothers. I have a career and can't be home all day. Lots of nobility throughout history used long term nannies. Its not optimal but its better than impregnating a woman with zero maternal drive, who would neglect the child and I couldnt simply replace if she did a poor job as a child caretaker.
If you actually love young children and want to have a successful healthy family, you have to be selective in who you choose to partner with. And when you select for women who will make good mothers, very few single, western women fit the criteria.
we're going home.........ECKS DEEE

I have this notion you don't actually belong here
Not him but the game is fun, I haven't played the new DLC but when I completed it a few months back I thought the game was pretty well made.
its fun enough with mods to fix the blackjack and such
Yes but some things in that are apprently outdated but after finding the latest version of asi loader and silent patch, everything works smoothly. No issues but some shadow flickers in the distance which is pretty much a non-issue because I'm not playing 15 year old games for graphics
have you not seen ts pussyhunters?
I was just playing some BBTAG. Fighting games only get harder as you get older unless you're Alex Valle.
Feeling anxious in response to the modern world is indicative of a healthy and sober mind.
Planetside 2, Mass Effect 1 + 2, Open RCT2.
yes but if you don't control it you end up like me
Nah i'm US, just up at dumb hours. I'm also 26 and i'm not sure my grades are the best but i'm gonna try goddamnit.
Anxiety is your DNA telling you "this is wrong, this isn't right". And that's perfectly healthy and normal considering everything about the modern world is an affront to everything good and right. Just accept the anxiety as a "warning signal" like a car's 'check engine' light. Its just there to warn you. Ignore it and carry on with your life. Its in your head and not real.
28, trying to enjoy octopath but i'm genuinely considering giving up on it, the bosses of all the chapter 3 arcs are damage sponge fights that kill you instantly for fucking up one time
My Qunari inquisitor is rebelling against her parents for making the decision to raise her away from that life, forcing her to be a mercenary for a living to get by in foreign lands.
But when you think about it, Qunair life could be great for someone like me. Don't have to worry about being good at social maneuvering. Don't have to worry about not being in a "relationship", and sexual release is a form of therapy offered to those who need it.
Placed into the path in life that suits you best, while still having the option to change if you can show that you belong somewhere else. Society is based on fairness first, so you know they aren't going to change things to appeal to one group because they are louder, are wealthier, or more powerful.

Giving up at 25 is defeatism and you still have tons of time to turn things around. But of course the incel Yea Forumsirgins hate themselves too much to ever do anything productive with their lives and are too angry and/or afraid of rejection to ever get a girlfriend.
Turn Yea Forums into toilet browsing and a source for video game news and not your main thing in life and you'll be fine.

Fucking awful. Half my time is feeling nothing at all. 1/4th is wishing I was dead and the last 1/4th is being terrified I'm dying. I have a whole

Move out from my country with my parents as a teenager, never really managed to form lasting friendships with the new people and fall out with old friends. The few friends I managed to make all moved out of the country when they became adults
little late to get advice like that, but I agree with you.

30-year-old Boomer here. I've been playing DMC5. I want to finish some more postgame content in FFXIITZA. Likely the next game I will buy is Samurai Shodown. I still want to play FFXV Episode Ardyn at some point. Also waiting for Cassandra to release for Soulcalibur VI.
So many things to do. So little time.
I have friends, but just too insecure about my looks to properly talk to women.
Drugs are bad and I'll hate them forever for ruining the oldest friend I had and I hate myself for not stopping him. He always was a bit edgy, but when he started robbing stores and even his own family he was beyond saving.
Lol, this is it for any creative work. I'm a painter and rarely sell. Creative work is gamble for the most part.

I have a comfortable white collar job and a house in a nice suburban neighborhood.
26 year old here. Was a shut-in for as far as I can remember. Came back into college two years ago. It was hard and I still have a huge confidence problem, but it's slowy getting better.
Playing Rain World, recommend.
Playing through modded skyrim on a new save, I never got around to finishing the DLC so I figured I may as well.
Honestly, it's not as bad as bad as I remember, I enjoy it more but maybe because SE runs better and mods have improved considerably so my experience is nicer.

Finished Wasteland 2 about a month ago, haven't started anything new. Too cheap to buy anything new, too tired to work on backlog, just barely existing
26 and finally gave up on multi-player games or so I think. My only motivation for playing League for as long as I did was on the off-chance I'd get good enough to go pro and make screw but it's not going to happen. Even if you get good enough to compete at the top people just write you off for being too old. You'll notice every team that signs a player and when they describe the qualities of the player there's always keywords like 'promising', 'young', 'talent', 'potential for growth'.
So fuck it I'm just gonna do single player stuff. It's what I enjoy the most anyways. Competition is just stupid, just creates toxic environments and ultimately the problem with competition is one side is not having fun. And fuck that's what games should be about.
I wish I could make screw though I really do. Being a zero-income NEET sucks.
I'm playing 3 right now, I wish they'd kept the prerendered backgrounds

I dunno why, I feel like I have more fun with them. Trying to figure out the best way to play snatcher at the moment.

Hearthstone and world of warcraft

Don't piss away too much time on Yea Forums. I started coming here when I was your age, and now I've spent way too much time on here.
>34 years old and doesnt even have a degree or an actual job
user what the fuck
I'm so tired
Just wondering, who do you make your games for? Who is your target audience? Or do you make them because it's what you want to make?
Well I do have a job as a stump grinder and the money is livable but I hate it. I don't like working in general and the idea of doing something I hate for 8 hours a day for the next 30 years makes me tired just thinking about it.
dont listen to these guys telling you not to come here. escapism is normal, everyone has their form of it.
i'd only recommend going after a good job, you don't need to go to college, just get something that requires a skill or even trade work. i went to college, i don't do a single thing in the realm of my degree.
don't get bogged down on doing the same job for the rest of your life, you're likely not going to anyway and even if you do it wont matter.
financial freedom is the best feeling, waking up and knowing you have nothing hanging over your head and the means to buy whatever stupid thing you want that month is great.
Be smart and make porn games fool. You can be shit and people will still buy.
Have sex.
You are at the age when it's starting to get to the point of being a too old virgin. I lost mine at 22, but decided to kms if I hadn't lost it by 24.
Needless to say, I don't much participate in discussions IRL when the topic of first times comes around.

You youngsters are fine. Though here is something depressing for most of you, judging by the posts here.
That feeling of time wasted? Of not doing what you should have done? Of death looming closer and seeing your loved ones groe older and weaker? Yeah, that only gets worse and worse.
I have a decent education, a well paying(for the country I am in well above average), secure job where I dont have to work all that much at, got married a year or so ago for a gitl I have been with for 10 years. Got my own place, credit free too. So on paper it is good.
But trust me, most people here have some kind of anxiety/depression/confidence problem and that is a crutch that does not go away. So, have fun.
Also, playing Mafia II.
barely anything
all my friends have gotten jobs and girlfriends and none of them play vidya anymore. i only like playing with friends so, without them, i have nothing to play.
>Lots of nobility throughout history used long term nannies
>it's an "I am too important for my children but I want some anyway"-episode
>Just wondering, who do you make your games for?
I don't have a particular audience. I just come with with idea's that seem to be good or interesting to myself. The one I'm working on now is more of a half half thing though where I think it's a good idea, and because I think people would enjoy playing it, but I also have to be very aware of the time and effort it takes because I'm literally a 1 man team and don't have time to spend 5 years working on something that maybe a dozen people will end up buying.
>rising storm 2
>feels empty but whatever
I don't even play it for fun really, only to feel like I'm playing a game that's mildly social. I'm getting better at least, slowly grinding my kdr from .5 to .96 and I'm often in the top third of kills now. But I still get btfo occasionally.
>most people here have some kind of anxiety/depression/confidence problem
once i realized that in my mid 20s life got a whole lot easier. you can wake up every day without any anxiety about being good enough when you realize everyone around you thinks they're failing at something

>the sims 2
A classic for me, member downloading this game at my 128kbps internet, always wanted to play it slowly, taking expansions one by one.
Apperently game is far more complex than my teenager ass thought it was, I still see new things that I haven't seen before, the minute details. The memory system really bring life to the sims. And I never liked 3 enough to care about open neighbourhoods in the first place.
Problem is the code is so bad your game becomes corrupted if you are not careful, you need to install some mods, tweak your settings a little just to play it on a modern pc too. Maan even doing this reminds me of mid 2000s.
>I am too important for my children but I want some anyway
How can you possibly interpret that from what I've written? I love my unborn children so much, I ignore the gold diggers and slutty women who have no maternal drive who chase after me (and my resources) while I attempt to look for maternal women. But if I cannot find such a woman, I will find a maternal and caring long term nanny and allow my children much time with my maternal female relatives.
Sorry not sorry.
You can always start drinking.
It's pretty easy.

I haven't played any Tarkov this patch, tired of redoing the quests all the time. Still love the game tho. Prolly gonna hop back on after 0.12 drops.
I want STALKER's world with Tarkov's gameplay, I could die a happy man after playing that.
>SS13
FUCK that game. Wasted more than 5 dumb years wasting countless days playing then adminning for that game. The only great things to come from that game were the friends I made along the way but in the end even they weren't the replacement for rl I needed.
I don't like making stuff that I'm not interested in making. Did that for a few mods, I hated it.
The community might be a problem
As I said playing since 2016, but I only played with random names and usually random body, I didn't had any metabuddies, was not a participant of any cliques, didn't admin for shit. For that I'm quite happy.
This way if i piss off some admin buddy special snowflake they won't remember me next shift. Some server are especially notorious in this meta buddy thingie.

I wonder if I'd feel better alone. I can't move out for now and find a better place, but I certainly felt pretty down that this was how my 30th birthday went.
I've been playing Ni No Kuni 2 which is a massive downgrade on the original in just about every way and the original was immensely flawed to begin with. I'm still having fun with it though.
Does it feel to anyone else like the entire 2010s have gone by really fast? I turned 18 in 2010, and it feels weird that I'm already nearly a decade older than that now.

Consequence of getting older. You're no longer creating formative memories like a fucking jack rabbit compared to your younger years, so your perception of time becomes skewed. Completely normal; your brain would get fried if every day you lived was of significance
