Why can't you do this?

I'd usually wake up, eat nothing, wouldn't even drink anything. Go to school, sometimes I'd buy a small bag of chips for lunch, sometimes on friday I would buy 2 slices of pizza, but most the time I didn't eat a lunch. Then I'd get home, sometimes I'd have myself a bowl of froot loops and toast with jam, for dinner my mom would usually make me spaghetti, or fettechini alfredo, or chicken with corn and mashed potatoes, and that was it. I have no idea how I was able to function. But looking back now, it's not wonder I was 6 and 135lbs in grade 8/9

I remember some kid called in a bomb threat the day the game was released and the school got shut down. Fuck life man

>>41222927
I work full time, and I like to workout before I go to work, so I go to bed super early so I can get 7 hours of sleep. My friends all work full time as well, and have different hours than me. Even on weekends, people don't really want to get together and have an all nighter playing a decade old game. I also couldn't bring it to myself to just binge on chips and pop and stay up till 3-4 in the morning like I used too. It would ruin my sleep schedule, my posture, and just make me extremely tired and moody the next day.

>>41222943
Personally I don't like how Halo engine changed from post Halo 3 games so I didn't buy the new Xbox.

You gotta take a break every once in a while bro. One weekend every once in a while isn't going to kill ya, especially if you diet properly prior to.

its not even about that

its about all your friends having a deep interest in halo3/cod4 just as much as you did, everyone wanting to get online to play together, people not having big responsibilities to attend to the following day. everyone has grown up, works full time, and has better things to do than play halo 3 online, and they certainly have better things to do than play it on a weekend and get fucked up. also, community is dead. Good luck finding anyone to play custom games with, on the MCC and on the original halo 3

I swear to you, dear Anons, that SOLUBLE FIBER is the magical superfood that all other foods wish they were. If your poop doesn't float, you aren't getting enough SOLUBLE fiber. The recommended amount is 14 grams per 1000 calories (that's about 4g per can of soda). Do this and you can eat all the chips and pop you want.

I lived with my ex gf for 2 years and let me tell you never again. Its high fucking maintenance, they expect you to entertain them, take them out, go in a bitch fit if dishes aren't done in any arbitrary time they decide on.
And sex is less regular when living together since you get sick of each other.

Living with a bro is perfect, except when its clean the toilet time

tfw taking breaks to play Monster Hunter on PS2 with your homies and using one of these bad boys in that pic related to pump up homies on another network

I do miss it. But then I try to play online games and can't stand them for long. Most I can do is play league of legends with some old friends for a couple games before I get bored and frustrated regardless of how we do.

Growing up sucks dick. I'll never have the benevolent joy of my youth where I could blow triple digit hours on Diablo II or Pokemon Red (blue was fOR FAGGOTS) and have the time of my life.

At least I find joy in other shit like lifting, parkour, and skateboarding (literally the only thing from my childhood i like because I can justify it as cardio) when I'm not at work. And it almost feels the same as far as joy is concerned.

But sadly..

None of it feels like the personal adventure these games were to a young me, y'know?

I honestly miss the old days sometimes
I would often stay up, 50-60 hours doing NOTHING but eat. Literally just eating and drinking trash food for 60 hours straight. I used to call these things 'Weight Maintenance Weekends' because I 'didn't want to be a skinny freak' (I was near 500lbs and may have tipped over that once or twice)

Typically they would go like this

>Finish work on Friday
>Go to the store
>Buy all the food that appealed to me, lets say, 3 boxes of chocolate cereal, 30 candy bars, 6 or 7 bags of chips, microwaveable pizza etc
>Go home
>'prepare the space' in my room by laying down some card and plastic for me to shit and urinate onto, place 2 microwaves on the side of my bed, some forks and plates on my bed etc
>lay the food in a circle around me
>go to bed
>wake up in the morning
>start eating
>sit and eat for a few hours moving as little as possible
>every 10 hours or so take a 'microwave nap' by putting some foil in the microwave then letting myself fall asleep
>burning foil would wake me up
>assumed I was burning calories by jumping up out of bed and rushing to turn the microwave off
>would usually use the warm foil to melt chocolate to eat and smear over my body
>would do this, rarely slowing for 2-3 days (worked only tuesday, thursday, friday)

I do miss it sometimes.

I miss my old life style of playing games, drinking alcohol with friends and not being aware of how much of a skinnyfat fuck I was.

I wouldn't want to go back to it now though; I tried last year during a period in which I think I had a bit of a breakdown, but I was just miserable.

I came out of it stronger though and now I'm back to competing in boxing and training 5 nights a week for 2 hours a night after work. It's funny because when I stopped I suddenly discovered I had all this free time and energy and nothing to do; alcohol, hiking, games... all of these were boring to me and I knew deep down I should be spending my time more productively.

>by the time I got around to playing it, it was already WotLK
Gaming-wise my biggest regret is that I didn't get to be a part of WoW when it was fresh. Say what you want about its effect on the gaming market, but it was something really special. Now the age of MMOs is over and every last nook and cranny of the game has already been explored, the mechanics "streamlined," and strategies and builds optimized to the hilt. Running an instance means your buddies are going to be running forward all the time, executing the same plan they've done a million times already, and you won't even have time to look around or think about what you're doing. It honestly fucking hurts that I'll never experience what it felt like to be one of the first players seeing everything for the first time.

If I could go back, I would eat a lot less and move a lot more. It would have made my journey a lot easier as an adult.

Several years you sat around, stayed up all night playing that blasted video game. Several years of no breakfest, or no nutrition, just whatever you were hungry for at the time.

I guess my childhood was Banjo Kazooie/Mario Sunshine/Smash Bros Melee

But it was Halo 4/CoD4 that took it to a whole new level with online multiplayer and stuff with friends.

Right in the feels, anon. Pretty pathetic in my case, as I own my home, have a family, have no credit card debt (massive student loan debt though), and other good things going for me. I'm generally pretty happy.

Still, I can't deny that I often look back nostalgically on my days of playing D&D in my buddy's basement. Back when I used to ride my bike to the grocery store to play the Tekken arcade machine they had. When I thought gas station cappuccino was good. When DBZ, Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, and Gundam Wing were the Toonami rotation. Shit was good, man.

And I can never go back.

I'd say so. It's on my mind most of the time to a degree and usually mildly aches at least. i have to be more careful how fast, far, and in what direction i open my mouth because it causes a twinge of pain. Sometimes i get sudden acute pain even if my mouth is closed or I'll get a sort of burning sensation. It's louder in one ear than the other too. Every time I swallow my ear pops, and I can pop my ears at will just by moving muscle(s) near my ear around my jaw ever so slightly. Often times I feel this sort of low level vibrating/buzzing sensation with the ringing. Fatigue makes everything worse and if I'm doing a strenuous strength exercise my ears can pop as well. It certainly disturbs my sleep too. It's weird because I often have to settle into the ringing and achiness after waking up so it can be more irritating in the morning. Then by evening when I'm more tired it gets aggravating again. As far as the dining itself goes it's typically high pitched though at times it can alternate or pulse from low to high. Occasionally I get a sort of windy wooshing sound.

You can find social fulfillment again. What you found your way into in 2011 was accidental, imagine if you used some planning and arranged your social life to be what you want.

True, the magic of childhood will always have a unique quality, but that is just a part of life, my friend.

We still have 7 day long lan parties where we play games from the 1990s and 2000s. No internet, beer, pizza and aoe2. I try to do some fatiguing stuff the week before but I don't really give a fuck for that week, it's lovely for the psyche and kills any stress that dammed up for months.

love that memory

I still attend Halo LANs.

Granted it's on the MCCollections, but we still spend all night with MLG playlists. People travel from around the country to attend. Cool thing is, most player lift as well, so there's DYEL banter in the mix too.

So yeah, I get Halo 3 4shots and the corresponding feels. Thanks for this thread.

Fuck I miss this so much. My brother always loved them, but I hated them at the time. I wanted to play real matches. But then, several years later, I began to become so nostalgic for them. All the zombie matches, the rooms full of people racing on andromeda, the left for dead maps, the sandbox 8v8's with the sniper rifle, the sharks and minnows, the toilet bowls... They were all so incredible, incredibly fun. But they left. People had stopped inviting us, the invited I'd always turned down... I'd start going into lobbies and asking if anyone played any custom games, and if they'd add me so I could join sometime. I tried connecting with old friends, and going through old gamer tags from the recordings of matches that were online. But it was just gone. They are all out there somewhere, experiencing the real world; all while I sit here in front of a dark screen, thinking about how they, the community, even always being on the fringe for me, meant the world to me. And they probably don't even remember it. I never left. I was only left behind, as I feared I would.

Fuck

Tbh, I went to college and wound up realizing I didn't actually want to do what I set out for and, furthermore, didn't really want the "dream job" I convinced myself I wanted; what I really wanted was, well, to do exactly what I had always loved doing, playing my games, watching my anime, going to the gym, hanging out with friends, and not having to get up in the morning. I'm not a morning person, honestly hate getting up in the morning, and don't really have a particular "career" I'm passionate about, so I wound up working for a school system as a substitute custodian for a few years, got my foot in the door, and got full time. I know Custodian does not sound glamorous, but its honestly been great for me. Its a town job, so its full benefits, good insurance and pension, and the pay range, at least where I work, is between 48k-60k, which is more than good for me and what I want. And ultimately, its just easy as hell; I probably actually work 3 hours of my shift, the rest I spend playing video games, watching shows or reading, its incredibly low stress and you just leave work behind when you punch out, and there's nobody else around to bother you. Sometimes you'll get overtime for a sports group or something using the building on the weekends, and even that is great, and literally entails several hours of time and a half or double time just hanging out and playing vidya or whatever. Its great for the gym, because going to the gym later at night is great and there's very few people around, and when I get home, I can stay up doing whatever I want, hang out with friends if they're around, and do as want want with my weekends. Its been very good for me so far this way, and its let me keep doing exactly what I always loved doing, plus the money to own a home and afford the things I like/want, get married, etc, without the stress I see a lot of other people struggling with around me. Hope this helped a bit. That's my path so far and its working out well for me.

I don't miss it whatsoever except the care-free bliss I had back then -- that is what kept me going and gave me optimism and hope with something to look forward to when I became an adult.

I don't understand why so few people liked TBC, raiding was dope, pvp + arena was awesome, gear was aesthetic as fuck, daily quests weren't a pointless grind yet and instances were great.

I played vanilla WoW both normally and on Nostalrius for a while, it's really fun but gear takes absolutely forever to get unless you have a million hours of free time to kill and pvp becomes boring with 3 modes knowing you will never get GM unless you throw away months of your life.

>What hobbies/other stuff do you do now?

When I was homeschooled? WoW and firearms were my only hobbies. I actually discovered /fit/ because of /k/

beginning with the first after I "re-entered" the real world? I stopped playing one game all the time (and a shitty one at that) and then starting playing numerous different kinds. It may sound insignificant but that alone has made me less of a useless fucktard. Next I had started reading books regularly and within the past 5 years I've gone though a dozen or so which varied in density. Then at 22 I went to the gym because of my sister's PT project for school and I've loved it since albeit sometimes I would stop for months at a time until I nutted up and went back again. I picked up tobacco smoking and love a good stogie but I smoke my pipe more because the tobacco is cheaper and generally tastes better. Became a regular drinker of beer shortly after my 21st birthday and I have accumulated hundreds of unique bottle caps. Most recently I have picked up billiards.

That's about it. I don't think my bottle caps are going to net me any pussy but it's satisfying to some extent.

The shittiest part of getting older was when my friends started getting interested in drugs and alcohol before I was ready to do any of that stuff. Honestly I enjoy drinking and occasionally I can enjoy smoking now, but I miss the shit we used to do when we were young. We did interesting shit, stuff that gave you stories to tell. I honestly miss a lot of what life was like before alcohol. Now it's all that most of my friends want to do.

What a fucking simple time. That dude i helped out is dead now from a heroin overdose a couple years ago. One of the guys I was friends with us getting married to a bitch who basically forced him to propose after 5 months of dating and will absolutely fuck his life up once the inevitable divorce comes. I live near and work with another guy from back then, and we see each other every so often and remain pretty good friends.

That girl I was obsessed with dropped out of community college and is dating some loser who sells insurance or something. She also gained a bunch of weight. I dodged a bullet there.

I'm in graduate school now and also working my ass off full time to pay my tuition. I have a couple of hours a week for vidya, but multi-player games a pretty much a no go.

What I'd do to live that summer again. The good and the bad.

Good damn do you remember when Halo was mysterious? There was all this lore about the monitors and Forerunner, the Covenant religion, the Spartans, the Flood, etc

Now everything is explained and fucking dumb

>>41238757

I never knew anyone else knew that feel. It was such a mystery and there was so much awesome possibility. What happened to the forerunners?What about the precursors? All of the mysterious ongoings and the stories of glory.

I'm still lift to be in the Orion program.

Why did they have to make that pre human faggotry? Whenever they delete real history and retcon their own shit it takes away of the magic of it being possible (you know minus all the science magic of the technology but still)

That era of Halo where it was mysterious and exciting is what I dream of making. It makes me want to write or try and make films or games. It was perfect.

You needed help from your parents to install a PC game when you were 13?!? Are you mentally challenged?

I loved the shit out of vanilla WoW though. I was at uni, and would raid during the day with my Cali-based guild, stay up all night farming or grinding alts with my homies. I would wake up at 11am, walk to the store for a bag of Doritos and a bottle of Pepsi, and that would fuel me to dinner time at about 9pm. I was skinny fat AF.

>>41238942
It wasn't so much that, it was the credit card/making an account stuff/email stuff.

I never used computers because we didn't get one till I was 11 and I barely used it at all. My friend from school told me about WoW and that's when I started getting into PC gaming.

Same here lads. NEET through homeschooling. A mother that didn't really give a shit about me at all. If she had even a little bit of respect for me, she would have never let me do any of that. What a self destructing life style. One that will carry over into adulthood, as it has me, and I assume you. I don't blame her entirely. I blame myself for choosing to live with my shitty enabling mom than my dad, who would have turned me into a hard working man.

I think back pretty often and regret not making more of the time I had. If I could do some things over I would've started working out earlier, maybe done boxing or something, read more books, and not waste time with grindfest vidya that I didn't get anything out of like world of warcraft

Anyone watch this with the Legendary Halo 2 edition? I remember seeing this and wanting to be a game programer.

i played so many video games because i couldn't leave my room without being harassed or assaulted, and soda/chips were just tasty, convenient foods i could stash. i do not miss it at all.
all of my "friends" tried to steal from me, lie to me, or manipulate me. since realizing that, i haven't fell back into hanging with shit people but a downside is infrequent social activity. i wish i could have a regular group to game with, be it vidya or DnD, but the only people who treat me with respect right now are people i cannot be friends with or have completely separate interests to me.

>playing Halo 3 again

>be kid
>wait like a maniac for Halo 1 watching trailers of it
>years later finally released but bought by microsoft
>game was still awesome

By the time Halo 2 came out I already went to Uni, vidya time mostly stopped since then.

>tfw getting old

I'm just happy that my "go to" games were Warcraft 1, 2 and 3, Diablo 1 and 2, Starcraft, Command & Conquer, Fallout, old HL1, old Counter Strike and maybe even CoD 1 and 2. Glad that I don't have to grow up and experiencing the cancer of post 2004 games.
