Nothing does and nothing will.

Ion Fury did but now it's just more depression.

nothing makes me happy since I've squandered my life and have no education or training for the future. i'm basically fucked and gotta kill myself before I get much older

No. I don't feel anything while playing them other than the occasional flash of rage.

I'm happy when I play games
I'm happy when I don't play games

I felt happy playing a game exactly 19 years ago.
It was a June (or maybe May) of 2000. I was 10 a half years old and finally managed to complete Final fantasy IX. I watched the end scene and cried.
From that moment on, i don't remember ever feeling truly happy

Yes, I am finally replaying TWEWY and I am having a fucking blast.

It's one of the few things that still make me happy

Only with friends.

But now I play this game IRL called "Make as much money as possible"

Ever since I quit WoW and started playing my Switch more Ive had a lot more fun.
Been spending more time with my wife too. Shits good.

>Yea Forums is full of faggots who never enjoyed playing a game in their entire life
really makes me think

They keep me distracted from our world long enough to prevent homicidal thoughts.

yep. stop projecting on the games, you are the problem, not them

The only games that I can get enjoyment out of lately has been the Mega Man X series, I'm playing them for the first time and I really like them. Currently on X4, about to do a Zero run. Also got enjoyment out of Pikmin 1 and 2, but I've played them before. Did not like X3 at all

Nothing should "make you happy." That's not sustainable and is reliant on chance most of the time.

The only thing you need to be happy is to sure of your own logic and reason. Happiness from within cannot be stopped by any outside factors; if you suddenly died RIGHT NOW then you would die happy and carefree, as happy as you would've died 60 years from now.

Hedonism doesn't make anyone happy.

No because I have no time to play them and when I do, it's all homogenized radical leftist trash games that suck horse cock.

Agreed, you need to have the right of ending your life

this but unironically

Things don't 'make you happy.' Happiness is a big concept. But certainly video games are fun and bring joy

Semantics.

No suicide has always been taboo in Western culture

They entertain me if that's what you mean.

Not in Greek/Roman period.

Not for the most part but I find them enjoyable and entertaining.
Especially walking simulators lately, I want to find more stuff like Bernband.

Video games amplify whatever I'm already feeling. If I'm in a good mood I have fun playing video games. If not then they piss me off and i hate em. I don't think games on their own have ever made me happy.

No they don't because of all the other factors. If I could be wealthy and set for the rest of my life, with friends and my dick sucked then yes videogames would make me happy.
Friends alone I don't give a fuck, GF alone I don't give a fuck, Money alone I don't give a fuck. Videogames alone yes but I can't enjoy them because I can't go full autism and play them ignoring the rest due to freaking mother nature body needs and land lords...

The are a lot of good and fun game. The problem is in (you).
I'm 99% sure that majority of the people who complain about lack of good games only play games on one platform only.

If you are console fag go get yourself a cheap laptop and play old pc classics like Morrowing, Gothic 2, Thief, Plainscape, original Deus Ex, System Shock, Warcraft 2, Neverwinter Nights series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, Pathologic, etc

If you are a pc fag then download an emulator and play old console classics like Tactics Ogre, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Shadow of the Colossus, Castlevania series, Metroid series, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Langrisser, Zone of the Enders,etc

I think my life took a turn for the worse when i got a gaming pc in highschool.

I would have been better of sticking to consoles. Id probably have played more games.
Im not sure if i have fun with video games anymore but i still play because i dont know what else to do with the time

Yeah man that just isnt the case here

Logic and reason are what made me depressed in the first place. In fact, sustaining the "happiness from within" that you're talking about actually requires disregarding logic and reason on a regular basis.

Yeah, kinda. Would like more games that let me kill trannyggerkikes but hey.

Not always. A lot of early Christians killed themselves, because why bother with a shitty life on Earth when you can just get the fuck out and go to a nice place? But then the rich fuckers figured out that having regular people say "fuck you" to the world would rob them of vital work slaves, so they created a taboo against suicide to keep people under control.

I could probably be happy just with a GF and video games.

THIS. Disregard 3dpd, get yourself a stable job, and fully immerse yourself in your hobbies

There's only a handful of video games I could see myself playing ever. Both old and yet to be released.

He's right, I've never heard of a happy philosopher they all turn into cynical and bitter people as they age, there's a lot of happy monks though.

no
but sex and drugs do

Wash your penis.

I still enjoy videogames, yes. I enjoy other hobbies too

Can all suicidal fuckers just leave this board and stay in /r9k/

Yeah, they got enough kids as it is

That basically how most of the modern religious texts came to be, they're a laundry list of things that kings and powerhungry clergymen wanted their peasantry to follow mindlessly to create their ideal serfs presented with a facade of mysticism and reverence.

This isn't to say religion wasn't genuine at some point, but it's safe to say most were heavily co-opted by TPTB and twisted to exert control over the masses, because commanding your subjects to tithe to the church (which you funnel to your coffers) because you said so will get you lynched, but commanding them to do so because the bible says people who do so get rewarded later gets them lining up to dump sizable chunks of their meager pittance pay into your collection plate.

No. My body is moving but my soul is dead.

Nothing does. The only buzz i get is when i can score a new ass to fuck on tinder. Fight club is a great movie about hopelessness and misery.

Makes sense. More you think about life, more you realize how futile and fucked it is. Better to be some happy go lucky NPC.

Dumb wojakbrain

Not him, I'm an atheist but I go to church, it's just something I've come to accept you have to do if you want to have a healthy society, if you don't another more viral religion will move in. Most people believe it's all legit and that's good enough for me. If you don't have a religion shit turns into scientist and degeneracy like tranny story hour and that's way more petty and toxic than any religion.

Nothing makes me happy. Oh how I wish for nothing so.

*scientism

This is why religious people hate near-death experience accounts as much as atheists do. Because what most people say when they come back from an NDE is that religion doesn't matter.

it's steam release is literally a 1:1 copy of the game with a pre-installed texture pack and shitty UI changes, except you'll pay $20 for it and only half of that money goes to Toady's healthcare fund. the rest goes to Gaben, some trannies in Canada and the german scam artist.

Yeah, I can understand that, as I still go to church every Sunday without fail, but it's worth it though to have a sense of skepticism and to assess what your religion tells you to do and think about it critically instead of just mindlessly following it.

Also, there isn't anything inherently wrong with embracing the sciences, the problem arises when (again) someone with an agenda co-opts it and twists it (jews and transgenderism, among a whole litany of things being a great example)

Honestly, not as much, but they do.
I think I find what I find left of my happiness with video games in directing myself to other things that I find a purpose with, while occasionally making (e-) friends along the way.

Did you ever thought that maybe the underlying reason of why older people with more experience in life than you are saying all the time that you kids are retarded might be attributed to the fact that the human brain is not completely developed until you are 25 yo, plus idiotizing and infantilizing influences prevalent in the current western culture making you immature fucks even more moronic than you should naturally be? Just an idea for you retard to muse over.

Me except my friend, roberto, his kid is in jail now and hes an alcoholic

not nearly as much as they used to. for now they still serve a purpose but there will most likely be a day when my patience will run out and ill lose interest entirely.

Stop phone posting you zoomer

Occasionally, but it is just because my standards have raised since I don't have as much time to play. Some games no matter how they play, however, always give me enjoyment. Pokemon, Digimon, Diablo likes, and Super Hero games I enjoy. I call them my junk food games.

why are you 'friends' with a person you dont even like? have you tried being less of a thundercunt and talking to him about his problems? A little bit of empathy might make his day

Yeah, maybe. Used to be but at some point disappointment makes you cynic.

From your other post it doesn't seem like you guys are even real friends, if you don't like him why even hang out with him?

I have a hard time believing that you could consider him a friend while at the same time you laugh at him because he's forced to work over 12 hours a day while you will never have to work another day in your life. It's like a guy who's supposedly friends with a guy in a wheelchair but he's constantly laughing and mocking him because he can't walk, it just doesn't make sense to me.

These years are your best because you can afford to be that stupid edgy shit and still bounce back.
