I wish I could enjoy video games but I always found them incredibly boring.

I'm always a bit jelly when I hear people talking with passion about their mmorpgs and whatnot.

>>60855425
I do work and I do play gaymes. Why are you implying one doesn't work well with the other?

>>60855675
kys?

>>60855675
It just means you haven't found a game good for you

Working at KFC doesn't count

i played tf2 back in 07 when i was 16

i still play it now

ty valve for making it free, shitting on wave after wave of gibus-clad f2ps is a great way to wind down in the evening

>>60855707
I work as a software engineer for 8 hours every day, while 75% of this time is gayming anyway.
But I guess murifats or other 3rd worlders never heard of unlimited home office.

I gave up gaming and fapping to be better at work.
Now I'm just as terrible at work but bored and horny af.

I've been playing my Switch a lot on my daily commute (30 minute bus ride). BotW alone is better than the entire 3DS and mobile library combined. I used to play PC games a lot in college, but don't really have the time anymore to get good with each new one. I still play a few rounds of TF2 here and there.

>>60855756
I have some shitty PC that can't run any game and I can't afford a console / the Switch [ which is still a console but eh ]

>>60855718
Being a gaymer makes you even worse than a pakijeet 3rd worlder.

I manage to find time to play like 2-3 video games per year, usually around holidays.

What I've noticed is that games are just barely even worth my time. The storywriting is embarrassing, the gameplay gets old -- a lot of games are just exactly the same.

So what I end up doing is playing old games I missed during my childhood.

sort of. not entirely on purpose. just got a bit burned out, and also feel better when I use non-free software less

>>60855734
the skinned weapons in tf2 are not actually better than stock

>>60855843
Really? Because some shitposting subhuman virgin said so on /g/?
Lmao. Gas yourself

>>60855868
Yeah but a new player can just go on the market and get shit and be more OP than other new players

neet, so yes. Plenty of time.

Is welfare enough to sustain you and your gaming needs
?

>>60855945
>needs

>>60855734

lmao i play mostly stock anyway and i have never spent a single cent on the game since i first bought it

besides, that makes it more fun when the 13 year old with 100$ worth of gay skins and hats is raging because he's getting fistfucked by some guy wearing nothing but the hat you get when you buy left 4 dead 2

>>60855675
try GMOD.
You can learn LUA and use it to have more fun in game.

If successful I could do it for a living. People have posted about still having 2 grand after paying for the servers.

But I doubt I can get it to work, and fail.

>>60856087
There's also SAMP
That's pretty popular

>>60855675
I feel you. I haven't felt 'hooked' into a vidya probably since my freshman year of highschool. I usually drink some beer and play for an hour tops nowadays. I like to gauge how the alcohol effects my performance in games like OW and CSGO. So far, I've concluded that 3-5 beers is the sweet spot where I perform best. Before that, I feel stiff and unfocused but past that my motor functions start to go down the tubes.

Beer is truly gaymur fuel.

>>60856087
The successful ones have built a community of sorts around their game servers, but the biggest issue I think is visibility. You gotta get people to notice your servers if you want active members, which is harder now than it was like 10 years ago.

>>60856125

Really? Interesting.

I've played them most of my life, but recently I've just seen them as a waste of time. Hundreds of hours sunk into something that really doesn't do anything for me.

gmod is just a tool. But the amount of possibilities source engine still has is still impressive.

I wish I could play games but my GPU doesn't support DirectX11, and it'd be a pain to go back to using Windows.

>>60856543
What OS are you using atm?

>>60856431
This.

Also I'm really binary when it comes to hobbies and shit.

I still play vidya from time to time but only with my brother or friends.

Okay so what do you do for fun?

Personally, I gave up games because I don't have a powerful desktop. Just a cheap HP desktop really only meant for office work. Slapped Gentoo on it so I could take advantage of the hardware (every little bit counts with this machine.)

I have a PS3, but for the most part I'm tired of all those older games, so I never even turn it on. Don't have a lot of extra money, so I don't have a PS4 and I won't be buying or building a more powerful desktop any time soon.

I still play VNs on my desktop from time to time, and the occasional JRPG that my computer can handle.

>>60855675
Same boat. There were a few games when I was a kid, but that's about it. I'm pretty happy about it though, I know quite a few people who are pretty involved with gaming and it's honestly a kind of pathetic "hobby", considering all the interesting stuff out there.

>>60855425
I lost all interest in video games when I was in high school. Almost 10 years later, I bought a ps3 on a whim and been playing Silent Hill 1 and Persona 5 recently. I don't know why people on this board act like hobbies will inhibit you from doing other things in life.

I dont really play games any more but i enjoy collecting them during steam sales and having the best pc hardware just in case.

>>60857369

Was it too hard to install Gentoo?
