Tired gamer thread

I start playing vidya but after 15 minutes I close it to fuck around on the internet
30 y/o. I can no longer play SP stuff for hours like I could when I was younger, the excessive familiarity with games (i.e. nothing is ever really new) probably doesn't help matters
I need help Yea Forums

just find other hobbies to fill your time

i went through the same thing when i was 23. i was a NEET playing games 16 hours a day from 16-23, then something snapped one day, i lost all interest and didn't play anything at all for the next four years. in that time i found replacement hobbies and started to get my life together. now i'm a 32 year old normie and plays casually

I don't know that feel. I'm just taking a break from playing EDF 5 for a couple hours straight.
Try getting your life in order instead of shitting Yea Forums with your pity attempt. Or commit suicide. Both solutions are good.

Stop forcing yourself to play shite you dislike
Look at games you really enjoyed in the past, look for similar games you didn't experience at the time, play them now.

go hiking
go fishing

EDF is pure fun, it's the kind of franchise that reminds you why you love vidya. And I say franchise because even the barebones (by comparison) PS2 ones remain fucking awesome

What is your mind doing in the mean time?

I know what you mean, bro. When you get old, you start thinking about better things you could do with your free time than play games. Or when you play too much video games, it’ll start to feel like mindless work. I feel your pain, bro. I Feel You. Listen bro, every pleasure in life, man, requires moderation. We all love video games, but remember too much of anything can be bad for you.

But you know this already, don’t you. So you’re here, amongst the scum of the internet, searching. Searching for something that you don’t even know yourself. Could be a new game. Could be a new discovery about one of your favorite games, you didn’t know about. Maybe a new discovery about you.

(Or you’re just here for the memes and porn. But that doesn’t matter.)

What matters is you live, bro. Live for tomorrow. Live for your family, your friends, your partner for life, your children.Every day is a blessing to play some video games. So just relax and don’t worry about needs to be done.

Enjoy the games while you can, but don’t forget to enjoy the life you have now.

You’ll find what you’re looking for someday. I’m sure of it. Stay strong, bro.

>enjoy games but can't play them more than a few hours at a time unless I was genuinely pumped for the game
>don't feel like I have the ability to pay full attention to the game
>can't bring myself to do anything but vidya, anime and Yea Forums
>whenever I try to do something like teach myself how to draw or program I sit at my chair and stare around until I give up, go to vidya, anime, or Yea Forums and tell myself I'll change tomorrow which I never do
What happened to me, Yea Forums?

I'm not the guy that you're responding to but I'm at the point where I can't feel anything from what you wrote. There's meaning to your words sure and I can appreciate that you're making efforts to try to help someone out but I just can't feel it.

I'm the last person you should take advice from but I hope the best for you, user.

Youll eventually find time for a game that sucks you right in. Lately i've been fucking busy with work but i started playing Darkest Dungeon and blew me the fuck away. Started sinking more than 3 hours into the thing and i just keep saying "One more crusade, maybe this time i can do it better.."
And when i realised it was already morning

This doesn't mean that games are worse, or that you're a "tried gamer", it just means you're an internet addict, such to the point that you find yourself back on Yea Forums whenever you try to do something else.

As such, you don't engage with your hobbies for their own sake, but you engage in them so you can talk about them on Yea Forums. This happens so much but everyone seems surprised when it does.

It's common when one has games as the only hobby he partakes in, I made that mistake as well and got into other shit, the craving for games comes back naturally after a while.

I still need to finish Amid Evil. I got through the first episode and I haven't gone back. I keep working 70-80 hour weeks and it's killing me.

this, Start by board hopping.
i started going to /o/ and their /dbt/ threads like a year ago. Got my first bike but eventually i came back here and bought a switch. Im completely content with both hobbies now.

What the fuck you doing working 80 hours a week man

Some shit countries, like mine, demand a 8 to 6 shift, user

I know that feel, as a (possibly fellow?) monkey soup

>tfw always end up on wsg ylyl and rekt threads
the fuck is wrong with me

no, my dude. Tacoland. My regards to you anyway

>rekt threads on wsg
but whats the point if there aint blood or gore? or jannies dont give a fuck about it?

i just don't like going to gif, too much shitty porn to sift through

Have another hobby like browsing Yea Forums

I can only still play fighting games and the occasional big JRPG like Xenoblade Chronicles X. Otherwise I get bored after 10 minutes.

same, BLACKED larpers took over that place like a plague

Unless you're working 7 days a week, that math doesn't check out.

yeah it's really annoying
too much gay shit too

I dont mind the gay stuff, whatever floats on their boats because they arent posting 4 threads per hour like BLACKED cucks do

welcome to 3rd world work shifts, doesnt make sense and you only get 7 days of vacation PER FUCKING YEAR

32-yr-old boomer here
I spend most of my gaming time just getting achievements in old games I've already finished, with the game muted and listening to old punk rock albums.

Get weird with it OP.

I don't understand how people can do stuff like this without some sort of drugs or alcohol. It's just so boring.

Exercising is keeping me entertained for now, but I dunno what comes after once I get bored of being a fitness nut. Video games aren't fun. Yea Forums isn't fun. Maybe I'll start reading again?

>alcohol
ya got me lmao

Line cook in a country club. Lots of events and parties to prep for this time of year. I'm really starting to hate it, and I hate our severs. It never used to be this bad but the front of the house has been on a steady decline for the past few years. Our busy season should be winding down soon. I have a few projects I'm saving up for, after that I might look for a new job.

What the fuck happened to gif? It's just another Yea Forums-tier shithole now.
