How old were you when you realized video games were a complete waste of time that give you nothing but a false sense of accomplishment?
How old were you when you realized everything was a complete waste of time?

They were never about accomplishment for me.
They are a way to escape reality.

15.
I'm 34 now. Now I spend all my free time on /r9k/.
I'm not sure how that's an improvement.

This
But as of a year and a half ago it stopped working, reality would be creeping in and I would lose interest in the game
My intention is to waste time.

you're hilariously ignorant on the nature of life and the brain.
I lost interest in vidya about 14 when I got into art.
>a complete waste of time that gives you nothing but a false sense of accomplishment
Pretty much every game gets boring and repetitive as fuck after like 2 hours as well

Pretty young, I would say. 13 or 14 years old.
But the funny thing is I pushed that thought out of my mind because I was good at them and I needed that validation because it was the only thing I was good at.
But this ended up being a way of slitting my own throat from a very young age because I could have used that time to improve myself in a way that mattered.
>I'm not a loser as long as I get ooh's and ahh's when people see me playing video games ha ha ha ha ha !
>>34953148
I never reached this age
>>34953148
What if i would rather create video games instead of playing them. Is that still a waste of time?

If you want to create good games you have to play a lot of good games.
>>34953148
>implying that knowledge stops me playing them
video games are fun tho. i'm not going to let that stop my good time.
I don't like how expensive they are. It bugs me how a 5 hour game with no side missions or anything can be the same price as a multiplayer online that you'll keep playing or has a long campaign. never did research costs of game production but still bones me

also this,
the industry is fucking garbage, its riddled with shitty practices and its success is based on the gullibility of retards.
