Is adulthood realising you don't like video games that much anymore and would rather go out and do social stuff? That's what I have been experiencing lately. Feels like I'm finally becoming an adult as video games seem like a waste of time.
>>
>>376016475
You're not even trying.
>>
>>376016565
trying what, this is how i feel
>>
I'd rather socialize by playing video games with my friends.
>everyone's too busy to come over for couch multiplayer
>they're never online for online multiplayer
>>
Exact opposite for me. I used to be social but I don't like it anymore.
>>

No it's the opposite.

yet you're still bumping my thread ;)
>>
If you feel like you're "growing out of games" you were never into them to begin with
>>
Low quality bait, I know, but still.
Nah.
I feel pressured and agonize because I don't have as much time for videogames anymore. I attempt to weasel out of things as often as possible to find nooks and crannies for it. And aim to socialize WHILE playing videogames if it happens to be a need.
Videogames are the perfect medium to share while socializing so it feels plainly incorrect to state they go against each other unless you simply hang out with people that are incompatible towards you, in which case that's on your end and your low standards, not adulthood.

Moving on.

>I was just pretending

false dichotomy, you can do social stuff and also spend time playing a lot of videogames

it's called having a balanced life
>>
>>376016475
Is it growing out of games or just not liking the new games we have right now ? I remember a time when I would like to buy 2 or 3 games a month. Now I feel lucky when I find a game or two genuinely interesting every year or so .
>>
>>376016936
bit of both, there are still a ton of games that i want to play and that i enjoy but I i have the option to choose a social event its an easy choice for me these days.
>>
>>376016475
Nah, you're just a normalfag

Not op but I was just like that, now I'm missing going out again.

I think the perfect balance was when i played during the week and went out on the weekends.

I just want a girlfriend

I enjoy playing vidya with my friends and going out to arcades, I just wish my friends had the patience to stay out at an arcade for more than an hour and a half.

You really don't. Leeching whores need to die.

I keep doing this too, can't even spend 10 minutes playing without someone asking me why I don't want to watch netflix or go out to some park.

For me, adulthood is realizing I want to make myself happy and I don't want to go out after work and have more fun playing vidya for 8 hours straight into the night. I'm just so tired of dealing with people that I don't want to see anyone at all. Vidya is way more fun than just listening to someone else's boring life while they talk or doing some dumb normalfag activity.
I'm 28 and don't feel socially pressured to go out and do dumb shit I don't care about anymore either. You kiddies probably still have to deal with that tho.

I don't care if it's bait or not, but that is exactly how I feel, even though I don't think it has something to do with becoming an adult.
Playing video games was all I did with my time, and even now I buy new stuff, but I rarely play it for too long. I don't know, it just doesn't fell right, if that makes sense.

Finding your significant other to do your hobby with would be a better way to become an adult.
>>
>>376019053
My hobby is having sweet unprotected sex with short haired teens.

Well?
>>
>>376016774
I ask what happened to me. I was pretty social from teenager to 22. Then my I turned 23 and I avoid people as much as possible. Talking feels like a chore. Now I'm either in business mode studying/working or resting alone. At least I talk a lot with my family. Other people just feel like a chore. I have no motivation to aim for friendship or even being nice. Neither I have patience to talk to my old college friends and I thankful for when they leave me alone.
I play like 2 hours a week and I'm not even a drop depressed/sad.

Bait or not, once you pass a certain point in adulthood, you may experience the same feeling of pointlessness from regular life, and prefer something that's maybe more pointless, but at least actually entertaining.
>>
>>376016475
Nah, you probably just don't like all that many of the new games that are coming out lately. Which is what I've been feeling. There's a few that I've liked, yeah, but it's not like back when I was a kid where it seemed like there was always something that I'd want to get at a store.
>>
Can relate to the vidya part.

But can't relate to wanting to go out and be social more.

I just think vidya kinda sucks. Bayonetta was fun, but it was mostly just a reminder to buy a CRT for my PS2 more than anything.
>>
>>376016475
no thats called becoming a teenager
becoming an adult is when you realize being social is boring and you go back to playing video games even though you hate them
>>
>>376016475
no, it isnt.
Adulthood It's about being responsible in everyday acts. It's about being individual, without being a burden on everyone else. Although knowing that you function in a collective society.

Games are just a hobbie. Like watching a film or reading a book

4chan is full of depressed faggots not knowing what they want nor do they know what makes them feel depressed... I can assure you if you feel bored while playing vidya you never liked games. You are just depressed and very very homosexual. Sorry mate
>>
>>376016475
No, that's just being an extroverted normie scum

please leave at once, fucking normie, reee

>>376016693

You are just bored. You need a game that will get you hooked.

That's what's happening with me as I'm waiting for M&B Bannerlord to release.

ITS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK

I really, really like this post.

>>376016475
It hasn't got much to do with adulthood.
The problem is likely that you've just gotten bored with vidya, having played it too much.

I had the same problem. However, at some point I no longer had a lot of spare time as I was very busy with studying, social stuff and other things. For months I didn't play vidya. When I got back to it, I could enjoy it again.

Absense makes the heart grow fonder, and considering most gamers spend WAY too much time playing games, it is no surprise they'll eventually get bored
>>
At some point something happened. We entered a different world. That has to be the only thing I can think of. I was a really happy kid then around 17 or 18 I just felt really bad all of a sudden. That was 12 years ago. Maybe adulthood is just being really sad all the time.
>>
>>376022060
If only I had as much money as I have good taste to afford all these pretty hookers...

Being middle-class is just one step above from hell.

>Is adulthood realising you don't like video games that much anymore and would rather go out and do social stuff?
No, if you ever reach the point where the only thing you "enjoy" is "going out", that's when you know you're dead inside.
>>
>>376016475
No, I'm pretty sure that's THE tell-tale sign of becoming homosexual.
Have you also noticed your butt feeling overwhelmingly empty most of the time?
I am sorry op
I'm sorry for your loss.
>>
>OP states his feelings
>buncha virgins go into defensive mode and declare it bait

Yeah, you guys are TOTALLY secure about this issue, I can tell.

OP, you're kinda lame for attributing what you're going through as "adulthood", you're simply craving new experiences. Seize the urge if you so desire, but don't be a fool and think of yourself as more "grown-up" than someone that does find video games entertaining.

For everyone that got all defensive over OP, you might be less secure about your hobby than you think.
