Video games just don't feel fun anymore

Video games aren't supposed to be fun. They're for escapism.

I'm a mental midget who was raised by older parents. I never learned how to have fun outside of a video game. What do normies do with their free time?

you gotta warm up your brain first for them to be fun.
you got to get through about 10 minutes of resistance to find them fun again.
Playing games actually boosts my energy. If I sit at my computer and browse the internet, I become extremely lethargic.
but I'm alert and have energy while playing games.

exercise. i ride a bike.
clean up, keep your room tidy, clean your toilet, organize shit. i'm a neet so lots of free time.

Listen to the grateful dead user
read a fucking book

Introduce alcohol into your gaming

just watch stuff/ read a book instead?
doesn't have to be anything high brow. just watching a couple of anime episodes does the trick for me.

>that feel when currently playing BotW for the first time
no idea when a game made me feel like this the last time. I love it, just explorin' and shit.

I was an alcoholic for three years, and I just quit smoking weed.

... Are you me?

I struggle to sit and focus on any singular thing. Vidya used to at least be able to occupy me, now it just feels like shit.

I don't have $350 to drop on a switch

It's supposed to be another brainless consumer market. No passion, no novelty. All the possibilities of the industry destroyed, just like the web.

is your shit up to date? i can't enjoy vidya unless i get my checklist of shit out of the way like household chores, and keeping up with personal hygiene. a fresh shower helps me settle down so i dont feel like a slimy sack of shit.

you can always set a set time/date to play and set yourself down and commit. but i mean if you feel forced or obligated then whats the point.

maybe find a different genre of game you normally don't play?

I feel that my enjoyment of vidya is proportional to how much real world stuff I achieve. This includes socializing because talking to people for me is work (albeit fun work) so if I get a chance to play a game online with friend's it automatically becomes fun. I picked up monster hunter world back up today just because one of my friends was getting into it and I met all of his discord friend's and we all played together and it was more fun than just playing alone or doing quests with randoms.

Why don't they teach you how to have fun in school? I'm 30 and all I do is work and post here. I havent enjoyed video games since I was in my early 20s. What am I supposed to do?

inc "you're just growing up" retards

Get VR nigget

That's because you play on PC. We don't have this problem on consoles

You can't go home again

Yeah, no games - no problems.

Mostly boring "social" events where they get to pretend to care about each other as long as everything is good and sometimes they connect through a bottle. My friend is a buffed 6'5 gigachad thunderfuck who is also a respected doctor from a very wealthy family and he said to me that when he needed his friends he chose and trusted they were all suddenly busy. If you ever read a run of the mill fantasy book with elves and they were depicted as this cunning race using the language in unique ways to play the mental chess with each other and lie between the lines, that's literally us.

I know what you mean, I feel like I'm getting too old for video games.

What an original thread, we certainly don't have this retarded shit five times every day.

no games are just getting shitter with the current political climate

at what age do video games stop being fun?

They feel fun only if your life outside of them is fun, so don't focus too much on them.

Maybe you are playing them too much? Do you have a job? Life can't be all fun and leisure, for then even leisure becomes as tedious as work. It's all about balance, friendo. Games are best played after work and on off days as a way to rewind and reward yourself.

I went through that phase a while back but it was a breeze to go trough. I just started binge watching watching a couple of cartoons and video games became fun again after a while.

yeah, trumpfags really are the biggest cancer the past few years

When you die either on the outside or the inside. In OP's case, he died inside. Lost all meaning to go on.

Fuck off
Mods? Ban em

If Yea Forums or anime is taking up gaming time. Then remove it and you'll find enjoyment in it. Also cut out porn but also find a good game.

at age when u suddenly realize you are getting old and all those years you wasted were best years of your life which is never coming back. Obviously at this point you do nothing to change it but gaming progressively feels less fun with every passing day you feel pressure to change and start "living" before you wake up as old fuck who is not able to change his own diaper

Happened to me for a few years, you're probably just depressed or tired
drink water
go outside even for just a few minutes, observe your surroundings
even better, do excercise
but most importantly, fix your sleep schedule
I know you won't do any of these things and will keep laying in your misery but if any other user feels this way now you know what to do

OP, stay away from AAA. That shit is devoid of any genuine imagination and creativity. Don't blame the devs for it, blame their publishers. Start browsing through indie titles and see if something sparks your interest.

I follow amateur gamedevs. I had this feeling until I watched a Comiket trailer showreel of Japanese amateur dev games. I felt a weird excitement I haven't felt for a long time.
