HEH, HEH

>tfw its been fucking years since you've found a game so engrossing that you were able to sink 700 hours into it and genuinely enjoy it the entire time
I had been like that for years until a friend showed me Demon's Souls. That game proved to me I still liked video games. Keep on searching user
the games I've spent the most time on are games that I hate the most. why am I like this?
Were they fighting games, "competitive" shooters, ARPGs, MMORPGs, BR games, MOBAs, or gacha games? A lot of recently popular genres are carefully crafted to frustrate you and keep stringing you along with promises of slightly less frustration until you hit a big dose of fun... with diminishing returns, of course. By design, it will never be as good as it seemed near the start.
yeah, they're games made to be addictive and fill time but I can't stop
Try taking a break from and find another hobby for now. Or just play better video games.
I've taken year long breaks and I've got other hobbies. I've played a lot of great games but I usually don't spend more than 20-80 hours in them because they actually give you some closure. every time I come back I get sucked into these shitty games
I'm glad he had fun!
>bust some time on
I don't give a shit about that, I want games I can bust some nuts on.
What a terrible looking artstyle, jesus
That's what I'm saying!
did 40 hours or so within 5 or 6 days for dark souls 3. Nothing has got me to play as much in a short period of time since.
People do not play games like this to make them happy. They play games to make then not-unhappy while expending as little effort as possible.
chris ?
I think thats the point
LOL
I was like this for a while it seemed like, then I discovered Kenshi and put 200 hours into it within a month. Im still on my first playthrough pretty much roleplaying my journey as I go, sending my adventurers to explore/discover, and building up my outpost. Ive also put about 30 hours into online Earth Defense Force 5 servers in the past couple weeks. You just gotta find whats right for you user
LOL
Why don't boomers want us man?

XD
>spend $60 on a game, best case is you find it engrossing and spend 100 hours on it. Then move onto the next. you don't gain any real skills other than being good at games.
>spend $60 on paint supplies, sink at least 500 - 1500 hours into it before you get good enough for people to care. still unlikely to make any money off it. so all in all you half-ass learn a skill that's useless other than spending time on it.
>spend $100s on music equipment/instruments and learn to play music. again, you're looking at a thousand hours until you reach the bare minimum for good musicianship. even if you have a natural talent, the market is so saturated with every kind of music that you'll never make money unless you also look good and can sing old pop songs. another skill for nothing
>spend money and time learning a sport or lifting. you get physically stronger, better balance, better reflexes to an extent. okay, so maybe out of all my examples this is the worst one since these things are helpful. but you still spend a lot of spare time becoming a good athlete or actually aesthetic. you might get some pussy but you probably won't be playing professionally anywhere.
My point is that all things being equal, playing games isn't any more of a waste of time than someone with no skills learning something new. They'll spend hundreds to thousands of hours doing it, and end up having to work a completely different job for actual income anyways. it's just something we do to eat up our spare time and not think about death. treating games as some grand waste of time is disingenuous.
This nigga played an average of 22.5 hours each day, how the fuck is he not dead from sleep deprivation?
more
your last point requires IMO more time and energy and focus than all the others (from my experience)
The secret to getting swole is that if you just start in your late twenties or something and haven't done anything active your whole life, you will not get in shape for a very long time, if ever. That's a life long journey for results and the diet and lifestyle choices that go with it take way more time than any other hobby, for arguably the best returns.
peace.
cigarettes and coffee heh, heh ...
No good game lasts longer than 12 hours.

Do you dislike RPGs user?
this but unironically
I've been browsing this fucking board for 7 years now, I entered at a shit time, and I took a break after Kamiya posted. I started posting again in the last week...
This shit hits hard. It ain't the same
YIKES
Lol. I got here on the second 4th panel.
More than a decade of my life wasted on this shithole. Problem is, all the other shitholes are even shittier somehow.
>tfw a first paneler
I want it back so much
Those innocent times are never coming back.
I feel like I'm mentally stuck in 2011.
That would be around the 2016 election what shithole did you migrate here from?
What do you mean "migrate"?
Second panel boys
It hurts
I still shiggy diggy to the last panel, doomer
I've always felt weird because I never found a game I could get addicted to. Like back when I played classic WoW everyone would go on and on about how addictive it was, and I just didn't get it. Could never play for any long stretches of time.
>Been here since 2005
>Was a cringy, edgy teenager
>Today I'm a cringy, edgy adult
>Who somehow managed to scrape together a house, car, wife, two kids and a third on the way
Where did the time go?
>tfw you found a game
>tfw it was shut down after 4 days
I thought I had lost my love for gaming but ElDewRito proved me wrong. It was taken from us too soon.
LOL
Sounds like time well spent. Good job, user.
Leave Yea Forums anytime fucking transphobic bigot.
Dont throw fighting games under the same umbrella as team based garbage desu.
You're right, The autism that is the FGC cannot be contained.
The forced memery of ugly wojaks and pepes was the downfall of this site. It became a contest of who could make the most vile and disturbing looking reaction image, an act that only empowered and encouraged forcing memes. Ironic posting was behind that, as people "ironically" fell in line with the foreign and trashy habits of newfags, instead of standing firm and telling them to shut the fuck up and lurk moar.
Ironic posting is the worst trend that infected this site, elections or not.
You must be powerful to reach valhalla.
get off my board faggot

On one hand, Yea Forums has always been 'Yea Forums with video games' and an ocean of piss and shit. But back in 2004 it was OUR piss and shit, now its some autistic 12 year old tranny phoneposting because he can't afford to get his reddit/twitter/facebook friends know he's a 'member of that evil alt-right internet website'.
There are no words to describe the joy I feel at having never been here before just a few months ago, and having spent only a limited time on /pol/ prior. Lacking any rose tint faggotry myself, combined with the board's capacity for shitposting and blatant racism compared to any other board makes this entire place an endless source of entertainment. And all it takes to have fun is dabbing on literally anyone with an opinion or position of any kind, whether to agree or not.
NIGGER
I'd say leave, but statistics say you'll commit not alive soon enough
I miss how the shitposting was largely on-topic, it used to be mostly silly shit like bad opinions that would annoy people that actually played the games. I remember being mildly intimidated to post because everyone on Yea Forums for the most part knew their shit and just wanted to talk about games. Back when LOL threads were actual video game comics, /vg/ and /vp/ didn't exist and there were daily threads for tonnes of great games that had a nice relaxed sense of community. Yea Forums was actually the best place on the internet if you just wanted to talk and joke around about videogames with people you wouldn't have to patronize since they probably knew more about games than you did. I don't think anything will ever be as nice as Yea Forums before all of Yea Forums spilled over once they realized how much good OC the board generated.
I miss how we used to make fun of people for taking politics in fucking videogames seriously instead of apparently REALLY caring about politics.
I miss when people used to get pissed at the mods for not doing their jobs because they want to talk about games, rather than getting pissed when they do because they don't.
I miss when casual AAA garbage that plebs talked about everywhere else was openly ridiculed rather than the only thing that actually manages to get replies.
I don't know why everything got so retarded and ""ironic"", the shitposting and memes don't even have anything to do with games anymore, people make fun of games by calling people liberals and trannies for some fucking reason. I just wanted to talk to people that played good videogames too.
I blame those stupid fucking Yea Forums screencaps that got posted everywhere.
So many people probably find this place through those dumb screencaps thinking this is just a place where you go to pretend you're a retard. I don't know why they can't just go to Yea Forums, that place is literally dying because no one posts anything but porn, but all of the great hobby boards are slowly being destroyed by zoomers that just want to ironically pretend to be retarded and angry at each other all day while posting political buzzwords
the cool kids club stops being the cool kids club the second people think of it as the cool kids club. some sort of paradox or shit
Never thought I'd miss $19.95 plus tip threads
At least people actually put effort into shitposting
It wasn't shut down you fucking retard
The game wasn't shut down, but discussion, videos, streams, and downloads were shut down
I’m 23 user is it too late? Am I cursed to have a little tummy and moobs forever? :(
For me it was Grim Dawn, though Dragon's Dogma gol very close.
Same. Except absolutely nothing has changed in my life since then.
what does negev have to do with any of that
No, that user is retarded.
Your visible body is pretty much a reflection of your last year of life, and you pretty much exchange every single cell in your soft tissues (so anything visible) every few years.
Unless you're literally obese, having good eating habits and exercising regularly will show noticeable results in less than a year no matter who you are.
>got
Get a load of this faggot
Ok well I guess I eat pretty bad. Honestly the hardest thing to stop doing is drinking soda, I know I’m a pussy but that shits addicting man. And I grew up playing vidya with a cool glass of soda in the summer so it’s been my whole life that I’ve been drinking it.
I’m just unmotivated, way she goes.
CRINGE
I think you have to have a really unhealthy lifestyle to not see improvement with genuine effort and diet changes. I've only been going at it for a couple of months and there is very noticeable change in my look and functional physical abilities.

>12 years on this shithole
hard agree
I'm 24 and I literally just started a very basic exercise routine on Monday.
My body is worn out, because I know I've never used it before, and I feel better knowing this soreness will go away eventually and I'll see improvement and also get rid of my beer gut.
Finding podcasts you like and having those on in the background helps keep you motivated, and gives you something to concentrate on and ignore the mundane experience of exercising.
For some reason, I find it works a lot better than listening to music.
