Only play Sm4sh 'cause everything else bores me. Play a ton of For Glory 1v1 and honestly don't even enjoy it that much anymore. I just get majorly pissed off when I lose. Not entirely sure why I still play desu

On that note if anyone wants to rub our WiiU's together and get BTFO in sm4sh let ya boi kno

Used to play them constantly but can't find a fun one anymore. Without the carefree life of childhood it's hard to just escape and enjoy. I sometimes try games on steam now that they offer refunds but haven't found one that's grabbed me since Morrowind and that was what 10 years ago?

The reverse, I should be playing more, I work too much. But there's so few ones worth playing, every year 99.9% is shit and there's just 1-2 good ones.

The same applies for movies and books, though for books the shit ratio is only 80%.

That's what drug addicts also say.

One day you're going to look back at your life and wonder why it never amounted to anything meaningful. Why you never bettered yourself or acquired any real skills. It's because you preferred to enjoy yourself in the moment. That's fine, but one of these days it'll catch up to you.

Of course, if you play videogames at the professional level none of that applies at all.

Random text from my cousin I haven't talked to in two years. After small talk about nothing I asked him out the blue "So what games are you playing right now?" He replied that he hasn't played any and had sold his consoles. I then asked him "So what do you do now?"

He then tells me that he spends his time at the neighborhood bar playing pool and talking to GILFS.

I'm a software engineer. I don't enjoy my job, I just do it for money. I genuinely enjoy playing a good video game more than anything else. It is the best feeling in the world.

>and you will lament yourself over all the time you wasted
no, I won't. I would have done that by now. in fact, the only thing I regret is that I didn't ENOUGH of what I loved. I should have studied less, worried less, and spent more time playing the video games I love with the friends that I loved being around.

when you're on your death bed looking back at your life, are you going to remember all the time you spent killing yourself "learning skills" or are you going to remember all the moments of pure unfiltered joy you got from the things you love?

I'm 27. The only depressing part of my life is my job, but it's worth it because I'll be able to retire comfortably when I'm 35. All of my old friends who grew out of their love for video games or other childhood interests and become adults are depressed now. They have wives and kids, and the little free time they have is spent getting drunk or watching football. I have what many would consider "skills", I work on ways to make new tech for renewable energy, but I don't really enjoy doing it. I just want to do the things I enjoy, which is hopefully what I'll be able to do more once I retire.

Also I would like a source on those other couple thousand people, you sure seem to know a lot of them.

Can't wait for your downfall in ten years when you are 40 and completely alone and live to work and purchase micro transactions like those men in Japan.
Seriously there is nothing wrong for you to play videogames, you have a job but don't issolate yourself, I know an 80 year old man whose only friend is my dad he goes to sleep at 6 pm everyday, he has nobody to celebrate Christmas with and he called his only other friend and found out he died 3 years ago.

damn man you are a huge piece of shit if you want that to happen to me, I have done nothing to hurt you.

I already lost all of my old friends, they don't have time to hang out with me because they have families of their own now. I'm not bitter about that, I totally understand. I've also already made new friends who are like me. A lot of the guys I work with are single rich dudes who enjoy video games, and we go to Super Smash Bros tournaments every couple weeks together. We also hang out on the weekends, and our circle has slowly been getting bigger and bigger over the last couple years. I don't need to see my friends any more than that, I really enjoy living by myself, I can't be comfortable living with another person.

you have problems to work out for yourself and you need to stop taking it out on others man
>>
>>25848956
Because you posted skills instead of hobbies. Having a skill I'm itself if pointless if you do nothing with it.

I am a doctor making over 200k a year and I still play video games.

the key is balance. obviously if you're a retard who wakes up, games, doesn't even brush his teeth and goes to sleep to rinse and repeat, video games are a waste of time. luckily I'm not that kind of retard.

>tfw replaced videogames with drugs

Videogames are nothing but a means of staving off boredom. A way to teleport yourself to a time period 2-5 hours from now, whilst gaining nothing. Almost none of them have any kind of lasting value.

>but I enjoy them

Then why is your face a dead-eyed stare 99% of the time that you're playing?

Society has finally advanced enough to where people don't have to work hard to get by. The only things they need to worry about are sustaining themselves. And so since people don't need to work hard to get by, they don't. They take the path of least resistance through life. Why do something hard when I can do something fun like videogames for my entire life instead? So you choose Dark Souls over War and Peace. The non-/r9k/ equivalent to this is going out to bars and slutting around, living a life of pure hedonism.

The NEET philosophy here is that works sucks and you should avoid it, while instead focusing on the things you enjoy. But the fact of the matter is this doesn't work. People who lead these lives end up with depression (and that rate is going up as it becomes easier and easier to live as a freeloading zit on the ass of society). They say "doc, gimme the pill that will fix me," since after all, it can't possibly be their choices that made them unhappy. But it is. The path of least resistance is no way to live. They never develop or mature, they never face hardships, and eventually they wonder why everything feels so empty. It's because they chose to live a hollow life.

If suicide is the easy way out, video games are the easy way through.

I played it too and enjoyed it. I'm not saying everyone should completely avoid any form of degenerate entertainment altogether (that would be in essence telling everyone to go nofap for life). But if you've clocked 3,000 hours into an MMO, maybe you should think twice before pulling another all-nighter grinding for armor. You're going to look back and feel like you threw away a year of your life.

I would add that playing a game through, start to finish, is significantly less degenerate than playing an "endless multiplayer" game like Counter-Strike/BF/CoD for 200 hours.

>>25849562
I get what you're saying but you're inherently wrong about vidya stopping kids from "living life". If some kid who plays CoD 5 hours a day suddenly stops playing vidya, he'll just go out and spend all that time doing normie shit like drinking and partying. They're both purely for enjoyment purposes and vidya offer at least some form of production as opposed to normie shit. Giving up video games isn't going to turn you into some master of work ethic who knows every field of science, 10 different languages, and 12 different instruments. You're just going to spend that time doing other stupid shit.

Anon did not choose his words wisely.
The path of least resistance temporarily is not the path of least resistance as a life-style.
Deciding to play games instead of working is taking the easy way out at the moment. Hardening and balancing mind and body is taking the easy way in life.

i agree that it's a much better lifestyle than playing games all day, it's just that the vibe i got from your post was that everyone should be trying to get ahead in their careers and working hard to achieve something of "value" which is the opposite of a monastic life

i lose interest in games fast as fuck too. it's difficult to stay playing one for longer than an hour but sometimes i find and play one for like 6 hours straight for a couple for days until i'm completely burnt out.

when did I ever say that reading is bad? all I said is that it isn't inherently constructive/productive. you have to gain skills and utilize them to be constructive/productive. simply reading =/= productive.

Explain.

>>25849968
there's a certain narrow-mindedness to this line of thinking.

why does everything have to be productive? what's wrong with intelligence, understanding what's going on in the world around you, getting a feeling of what drives people forward?

I used to go out drinking all the time and it was horrible. I enjoy spending a night inside playing some comfy games. Why are you guys so upset when other people are satisfied? Why does every have to be as miserable as you?

Are there still people who blames their own problems onto lifeless forms?
>>
>>25849973
there's something called finding a balance
>>
>>25850097
going out drinking is like some sort of hyper socialisation, all you do is drink and talk, it builds up relationships ten fold in comparison to talking over the internet,
I really struggle to understand how grinding away on a game compares to that in terms of productivity
>>
>>25850286
>everything has to be productive
>>
>>25850099
if the endgame is to be proud of yourself on your deathbed which is what the normalfaggots on this thread believe, then yes you have to be productive.

intelligence means fuck all if you're not using it. see that one guy who has like a 150+ IQ and believes in G0D. knowing something for the sake of knowing it is stupid.

find a goal, fixate yourself on it, complete it. be productive. not "wowzas i wanna read seben books by the end of the month xDDD" but "I want to finish these three IT books so I can get a better quality of life by the end of the summer."

if you aren't being productive, then fuck off and let me play my videoshits.

no way to disprove god. if we're talking about productivity then people who are religious sure as hell are some of the most productive people on the planet.

the idea being you use the knowledge, share it with other people, and make the world as other people see it slightly less hopeless/ filled with people heading in the wrong direction.

I can't just do 4 hours of modeling a day, modeling completely takes over my life and I can't stop until a month has gone by and I am exhausted.

It doesnt though.

Drinking in groups like cafes, pubs and clubs is something reserved only for losers. There is NO socialization going on, just people trying to fit in with each other.

It's quite sad really that people think this is productive. I used to think this was a meme and nobody actually thought that way until I read >>25850286
>>
>>25853019
I never said you needed to put your efforts into a career. Plenty of people have aspirations and dreams (outside of careerism) that they cast aside for something that's easier and right in front of them.

Look at how "the ideas guy" became a meme for video games. The concept of a person who has "ideas" for a video game but never acts on those ideas or gets anywhere with them is SO COMMON that it became a meme.
