>tfw replaced hours of gaming with hours of shitposting

I wake up, eat, play vidya, lift, play more vidya and sleep.

I think I'm depressed and I have not gone to class since the beginning of the semester except to take exams, so my life is literally playing games and making progress on SS.

Vidya has already stopped filling the void and so I spend most of my day staring at 4chan or my steam library since every other hobby I every tried/looked at does not interst me in the slightest and I hate socializing with strangers because I cannot stand small talk and I have nothing interesting to say.

I spent about 350 days (yes 350 x 24 hrs) on runescape over a period of 8years until I quit in 2014. I dont have many regrets desu. Turned out okay with a decent job/education and gf

I haven't played video games in any sort of consistent or lengthy amount of time since I was 15; it's a time sink. Read a book, socialize with friends, pursue a hobby.

i play less but only because every game is fucking boring nowadays. Its not like i do anything with the extra time.
i wish i could enjoy games enough again to just play 10 hours all day.

>replace virtual grinding with IRL grinding
>still dead inside

At least my posture improved and I'm no longer a skelly mcskellington. Still play the Witcher 3, although not more than an hour at a time. It's kinda strange tbqhfam

>>36568711
Well I made it to the top 7% so I wouldn't say I'm bad, I'm certainly far from the worst though. it's just not giving me any fulfillment and I let it judge my entire day mood if I do well in the morning or bad. It's not even really ruining my gainz I'm just wondering if they unlocked the next level IRL by leaving it behind.

Dark Souls is basically the only vidya I still enjoy.

Just don't play 8 hours a day like an autist and there's nothing wrong with vidya.

Guess why

I want to slap my younger self for thinking games were a worthwhile hobby. Even going to parties and getting shitfaced every evening would have turned me into a more interesting individual than I am now. Video games are a complete waste of time. No one in the real world wants to hear about them, they won't teach you any skill you can use later on.
To anyone in this thread, if you're at uni and spending most of your free time playing games, you will hate yourself later on when you're an adult and realize socializing isn't something you can simply opt out of. Do team sports, socialize, broaden your horizons. You won't be into nerd shit all your life, it's a phase.

I mostly gave up gaming when I got serious about lifting. Not really intentionally, but with the increased time commitment from lifting a few days a week to lifting hard five days a week, cardio every day and meal prep I had a lot less free time all of a sudden, and the free time I had became more valuable.

I'm fully aware it's my fault, I never denied it. I'm just curious if anyone made life gainz leaving it behind them.

>>36568615
I recently uninstalled league after playing it since beta. I barely have time for myself and would end up playing it either late at night or early in the morning when I should have been lifting flor doing homreork. Honestly I feel a lot better from it and if I get an itch to play I'll watch a game on YouTube

>>36568615
Done it. Reached a ephihany at one point. Realized gaming is a time sink and it does not help me in anyway in other aspects of my life.

>End up quitting and realized how much extra time I have in my hands.

Once you quit you realize how much extra time you have now it's up to you how to turn that time in to more productive ways.

I used to collect and play everything and still have a collection of 1800 games (counting ~500 on steam)

I still play for a couple hours on Saturday or Sunday but otherwise I replaced it entirely during the week with making passive-income websites that each generate a couple hundred bucks a month

I also go do things a lot more often, mostly because I forced myself to start asking people to hang out instead of waiting to be asked

>>36568847
I hope so anon, the problem for me is I commute to college and it costs 10 bucks a day via mass transit, so I only tend to go when I really need to since I just teach myself the material.

On top of that, my college has a split of 90/10 male to female and almost all the guys are sandniggers since it is an engineering focused college. Even worse, I realized I fucking hate engineering and have no money to transfer to a nicer school where I can dorm and follow something I truly enjoy learning about.

Socializing just makes me feel depressed and longing to go back home so I can take a nap.

im so depressed i dont want to do anything at all and the fact my mother keeps telling me to get a job every 15 minutes doesnt help at all even though im throwing my resumes literally everywhere

instead of being understanding and caring all she does is treat me like shit and make the situation worse, i spend half of my day thinking how i should kill her, even though i wont

Does playing
2k or Fifa count as wasting time gaming because that is really the only games i can play without getting tired after 10min

I have the same problem. Like suddenly when I turned 21 all the games got boring asf. I don't know the reason for it, but I think it's kind of maturing in one way. >>36568740

>>36569008
this is what I tell everyone about MOBAs at the onset

they're not fun, you won't enjoy it, it'll make you mad, it'll take all your time, and you'll still never be good enough for anyone to ever care

I got bullied hard for being the fat kid in middle school that I shut myself away from everyone/everything and escaped into video games in 98/99.

I spent so much time playing Everquest and, later, World of Warcraft that I didn't start developing socially until my mid-20s.

Stop playing video games.

It's too late for me, but some of you fags are still young enough to bounce back.

>>36569014
very nice

I started playing a shitton of SoFTS these past 2 weeks since I never really liked Das2. Been having a lot of fun, seems that they fixed some issues and the DLCs are pretty damn nice, not AotA tier amazing, but definetly a huge step up in terms of level design than the base game.

PvP is also much better imo, although I seem to get paired with laggy fucks way more often. It always seems like I get ghost hit yet I never ghost hit anybody else.

>>36569036
Ghost hitting is only perceived on the receivers side, anyways yea dark souls 2 is an amazing game, only thing that pisses me off is this soul memory shit

I spend about 30 hours a week gaming because it's one of my only pleasures in life.

>>36569024
Ya that's a good way of putting it. Really any pvp type games I just can't play anymore, because if I'm not one of the best I just get super pissed and get no satisfaction.
Switching up to less competitive story based games has been way better

>>36568647
>>tfw replaced hours of gaming with hours of shitposting

It's so true.

Stop playing video games, then what?

I hate people.
I dont have the skills to do what I'd like to do.
I hate my country . I hate my neighbourhood. I hate myself.

Since I have to wake up and draw breath for a couple hours I might as well do something I dont hate as much.

>>36569086
Same situation. Hopefully we can find something

>>36569086
Read a book dawg, there are infinite universes waiting for you

>>36569086
Lift bro. I used to wallow in self loathing constantly and lifting is the only thing that has fixed it.

>>36568763
I meant it's a time sink in the respect that you put in a significant amount of time and get nothing back. You get a massive ROI on reading books if you read the right ones; you get a massive ROI on socializing if you're friends with positive, successful people, and you get a massive ROI on hobbies if you pick hobbies that fulfil you as a person.

>>36569024
honestly thats so true,

I will only play heros of the storm now if I have some friends to roll with, otherwise its cancerous.

I also used to play dota and fuck, that pissed me off so much to sink like an hour and lose for some dumb reason

>>36569098
We wont, but I wont tell you to stop trying as I have.

>>36569112
In what sense is that different from playing games?

>>36569117
I lifted from 18 to 23 and at this point all my expectations were crushed aswell. I'm a manlet with wide hips and I'll look like a frog version of rambo if I EVER make it. Some of us werent made to succeed.

>>36569130
You dont kick a wounded dog to help it. I dont simphatize with her ignorance. She wants to help? Shut the fuck up. Thats how she'd help.

>>36569138
My time in college was awful and I'm not going back there ever again. It just proved to myself how much I hate people and how much they deserve that.

MOBAS are cancer. Dont play them. I never have and never will.

You honestly sound like a pathetic piece of shit

I want to play video games like I used to, but whenever I play for around 30 minutes I start getting really sleepy. Forcing myself to keep playing is no fun.

Played tf2 for about 3000 hours through university. Haven't opened the game since graduating and don't intend to. The amount of time I wasted on it is truly frightening and I'll be damned if I make the same mistake again.

Not true at all, I have a great social life, fuck randoms, and have spent 700 hours on rocket league this semester. Being a stoner helps to make friends but video games are still the thing I willingly spend my free time on. I don't fucking play video games on friday nights though, you have to have a balance. Don't make generalizations because of your anecdotal failures.

I massively restricted the amount of gaming hours I did when I went to University. I usually only play games that are primarily Single Player, so once I finish the game, I'm then done and just wait until the next, or something similar comes out. When I was younger, I would always play the Call of Duty series online and so many MMORPGs.

At University, I stopped playing them. I played the BioShock series, and Dishonored. I never looked back. I need a better laptop so I can play Dishonored 2 when it comes out, and the Witcher series. I love them. However, I did try GW2, but I eventually kind of lost interest.

Quit games cold turkey about 3 months ago. Suddenly a bunch of other stuff fills the time. Worked pretty well I'd say.

>>36568615
If you're getting so upset over just a game that it messes with your life, you have some issues bigger than video games. Why do you get so upset? Why do you have such difficulty controlling your emotions? These are the real questions you should be asking

>>36569462
So playing games instead of doing what I dont like while throwing resumes about makes me a baby? Dont adults do what they enjoy rather than what anon deems mature ?

Sounds like your issues as with self control, time management, being self aware, and prioritizing. The video games are just demonstrating the syntpoms of something bigger (see above)

>>36569508
I dont know where I've implied I'm not doing that. You sound like that ignorant guy who needs to be heard even though they have nothing interesting or meaningful to say.

>>36569537
Some people can't control themselves to only a couple hours of using a computer a day
Just like some people can drink one glass and others drink a whole bottle

No op, you shouldn't quit playing.

I powerlift (1500 club), have a 9/10 gf, work in finance and I am a top SSBM player (Kirby main). You just gotta make the time for everything important in your life.

>>36568901
Video games can actually improve skills such as creative thinking and analytical thinking, if you actually choose to actively play instead of going through the motions. Just because you're too dense to think that its just a time sink doesn't mean others don't gain from it

I used to game full on autist games, like grand strategy and red orchestra
Watched anime, followed the seasons
Read manga
Posted on 4chan
Didn't go out much

Got a gf through a party
spent lots of time with her
Then I started lifting as well
Now I haven't bought a new game or downloaded an anime for a year...

I kinda miss the old life, is this growing up?

>>36568615
Had a funny experience once, did nofap, nogames, no 4chan for 2 weeks and did my college work just to try it out. Ended up being ahead in class by 1 week and acing all my midterms due to the amount of work and shit I got done ahead of time + time to make gains.

Eventually got boring so I went back to my sedimentary lifestyle and played more vidya. If you think it's necessary to cut out vidya in your life to improve it's a good one to go by.

If I done it again with the work i'm doing at the moment i'd probably go out more and do more hobbies now that I got more time, will try reconsidering again. Thanks for reminding me OP.

Me and my friends used to get so frustrated and toxic towards each other when we used to do ranked 5 man team. Now we actually work to be sportsman like and encourage each other to work together as a team. The game is now 10x more fun. So unless you're playing and cooperating with 4 other players via skype/discord I wouldn't recommend playing it since the rest of the LoL community is cancerous shit.

Literally everything is a time sink.

Try playing games that you feel you get something out of. Zachtronics games are great for getting a general idea about electromechanical logic circuits (infinifactory, spacechem), and a little bit of programming if you play tis-100.
Don't know shit about cars? Pick up car mechanic simulator. Want to learn a language? There are games for those too.
Games are nothing more than an interactive simulation of anything you can think of. They are incredibly valuable tools when used right, especially the educational simulators that keep popping up.
(Kerbal space program anyone?)

Stopped playing vidya, started playing the piano and reading books instead.
It doesnt make you any happier just because you stop playing vidya, but for me it was the feeling
that I was spending my time doing something
to evolve and better myself. You get rid of the godawful feeling of wasting your life everytime you spend 4 hours in front of the computer instead of doing something else.

>>36568615
i stopped gaming and it feels so good, i have so much free time now to study, read ,and play guitar

ive lost interest in everything, its even hard for me to find motivation for lifting

living the neet life for almost 2 years

today ive decided to quit playing video games, because its not even giving any joy anymore, its just an escape

i have no purpose in life, im too shy to get a job

kill me

Been slowly playing less and less as time goes on. Not by actively trying, it's just happened by its own. Used to play a lot of Dota, but both me and my friends have played less in general as time goes by. I suppose a lot of people in their early to mid twenties can relate.
Nowadays I just look for some fun, self contained single player games that are challenging and can be completed without investing too much. Like Shovel Knight, Super Metroid, Ori and the Blind Forest I've played recently.
Sometimes I'll jump into Quake Live for a duel or FFA Instagib session vs bots. The movement and gameplay in that game is super satisfying, so it's really rewarding to play. https://youtu.be/-T6IAHWMd2I?t=765

Are there any fun new games out? I barely keep up with video games anymore.

I grew out of games after grad school. I realized I hated working and that personal projects were the way to go to constructively use free time. Between lifting, being married, etc I've got higher priority shit to do.

That said I'll still play elder scrolls games to play around with some coding/modding concepts and steal/stealth/thief the shit out of everything. Literal in game hoarding. But I probably sink in 100hrs tops versus the thousands I would have in my teens and undergrad days.

I used to play LoL, but I quit last week. I gradually got bored of it, and it did take a lot out of my day. Made me procrastinate on my work, and now I feel like I more room to add for working out

I literally have over 2500 hours accumulated in L4D2. Haven't logged any since Christmas 2013. Now I just play HOTS for a few hours every 3 days. Blizzard's whole "daily quest" thing makes it easy to keep playing without getting too deep into it.

What do you want kallark

>>36571433
same here. i'm 21 now and mostly just play doom for a few hours every now and then, i don't pay much attention to new games either. i'm rarely able to play more than a few hours in one sitting before i feel satisfied and stop playing which is very different from just 2-3 years ago when i could play for a whole day and had to force myself to stop playing. i also played pretty much every new game that came out.

i guess i'm just growing out of it

i definetely recommend doom. it has a very active god-tier modding community that's constantly making new content, there are also modern source ports for the game so it will run flawlessly on modern computers with high resoulutions and framerates with a bunch of other fancy features added. nuclear throne is good too

>>36571238
I'm hyped as fuck brah

>>36569615
that's an amazing crop you have there anon :^)

>>36568615
I mean you're playing lol so you're already a lost cause.

It's just not fun for me anymore.

Games are all shit now.

BOOM. BANG CRASH!

Do you want to spend $20 bucks more for the expansion pack - VROOM WHIRRRR RATATATA.

It's all fucking garbage seriously. I go on steam and just look at game after game and am like "none of these are worth it" then I go to gamestop and look at games with bleary eyes. Rows and rows of the same garbage over and over again. It's just not fun anymore.

I sold all my vidyashit and built a home gym

I suppose certain video games are okay in moderation, like with friends, but it's sort of a money sink. To think that literally each new game is 60 whole dollars is unbelievable in retrospect.

Post pic and I might find a hobby for the 2 of us to enjoy baby ;^)

I stopped gaming cause I realised I actually hated video games.
Seriously, you think you enjoy them but its like a weird type if Stockholm syndrome. Lifting progress increased a lot after cause I spent more time at the gym.
I still play single player games every once in a while (played for first time in 3 months last week), but I will never touch a multiplayer game again.

I replaced video games with shitposting and reading fiction

Feels okay tee bee h

You don't have to give up your hobbies for your gf. You can share some of your hobbies with her, and she can share hers with you. Keeps things interesting.

Used to play Dota a shitload now all I do is play fifa every now and then. Unfortunately, I replaced it with browsing 4Chan more instead of something productive. Not much has improved

>>36568615
I stopped over a year ago, and I haven't felt a big difference. I don't waste as much time and it let's me focus on other things

>>36568647
Goddammit me too

>>36573106
Oh yeah I've been meaning to get into Doom. I played Quake 1 and its expansions recently and it was super fun. Old FPS games are just better.

>>36568615
Recently I find most games boring as fuuuck. I can still sink like 2-3 hours into FIFA, NHL or GTA but that's literally it. I'd been convincing myself I was still 'enjoying this hobby' but what finally killed it for me was Fallout 4. Either games are complete shit these days or I've just grown out of it.
But I still play uncomfortable amounts of NHL.#JustChadThings

I only dont play much vidya cos im a strategy gamer.
There havent been any good strategy games recently. Hyped for stellaris though

>>36568615
I haven't quit entirely but I spend a lot less time on it. Partly because I have actual responsibilities and shit now, partly because I find most games to be pretty boring these days. Wish I could say it was because they aren't productive but I'm sure I could slip back into old habits if I had the chance.

>>36577971
Try Duke 3d and Blood

>>36577988
I've been playing lots of retro games for that exact reason. My love of vidya is slowly returning.

Computer died last week, l got a job and started lifting more seriously. That's all there is to it

>>36568615

I left WoW back in 2014, then FFXIV, and now I just play games casually on rest days. And even then it's just a single player game.

Hard core gaming is for the birds.

Improving yourself is much more rewarding than improving an avatar.

I find myself looking down on most gamers nowadays. Most are just sniveling overweight NuMale neckbeards.

quit games and make gains

Moved in with my GF, we were short on money a month (due to a breakin) so i decided to sell my 3 year old gaming computer (was planning on buying a new one anyway) didn't really miss it, one month became two months, then 6 months later i kinda didn't even realize it was gone. My grades went up, our relationship got better, had LOTS of time to spare everyday, decided to pick up piano again and i am now semi-decent after about a year of 1hour a day practice.
Instead of spending 4 hours a day playing league grinding for challanger i now can do a PPL routine. I only watch LCS or some streams now and again

But getting good at shmups will only increase your gains

I used to play a lot of video games back in the day. At one point I was the #1 ranked player on Diablo 2 Ladder East if that puts it into perspective. I started playing again towards the end of college but once I graduated I moved from Milwaukee to Huntington Beach and now I play basically zero games and watch no TV/netflix. I have become a lot more productive with my time. My room is still "messy" but the kind of mess that can be cleaned up in 15 mins if people are coming over. I get all my dishes cleaned so no more dish mountain. I go to the beach a lot or ride bikes on the weekends. It's a lot better overall. Video games are more fun in the short term but as soon as you step away you get that empty feeling. Met this half Hawaiian girl at the beach the other day, have a date with her tonight.

>>36568615
I played a lot of CS GO and then quit because it wasn't really fun anymore. Can't say that I became more productive since then though, I just waste more time on the internet

Who is this fit piece of shit

Games affect everyone differently, but I had a straight up addiction which almost killed me(i had an epileptic attack while playing). That didn't sober me up, I managed to break through after many attempts, and my life changed almost 180degrees. Everything now feels like a good dream, but it's actually my life I love. And I still get a chance to play games occasionally, but it never inhibits anything anymore

I used to play a lot of vidya. Now I go days and weeks without it. I don't know what happened to me...

Was addicted to league for like 5 years on and off. Uninstalled it countless times. Was drinkinh and playing league instead of being social through years in my early 20's.

Quit that shit and never look back OP. Get other hobbies, hang it with friends before they leave. Meet new people. Go travel. Literally anything is more rewarding in the long term than dogshit vidya
