How do you guys deal with being burnt out or lack motivation

Lay in bed and hyperventilate

I get a job.

Fix whatever is causing your depression. Also play in shorter, more manageable sessions and not hours-long marathons.

Play regardless

Keep telling myself that I'll play them tomorrow.

I've been saying that to myself for over a month now, and I have at least 3 long-ass games on my backlog.

Watch youtube for 3 days or a week about videogames, then try to play again.

smoke a couple bowls and that motivation comes right back in a hurry.

just stop playing games.

>>379111979
Delete porn.
Install teamviewer so your Mom can check if you're watching porn.
Stop watching porn.

>>379111979
I only felt like that when I was depressed so just cheer up I guess.

>>379111979
I don't play games at that point, or just try new genres.

You sound depressed

I didn't think I was depressed but then again I usually don't do anything anymore when I get home and haven't went out in a while. Maybe I am.

>>379113643
Just do pills. Adopting a new addiction would probably help with your depression.

fap instead
don't force yourself to play games
I ended up only playing 10 hours of vidya a MONTH, feels better

Just don't play for a bit

By that logic all botw/farcry 5/switch/dark souls/your favorite game threads should all be deleted then.

>>379111979
try killing yourself, if you can't find joy in playing video games

Playing Coop games with my roomate and just shit talking the entire time

G

you don't deal with it you suffer

Start reading a book when you'd be gaming, in a week or two you'll want Vidya again and will also have a good book to read.

Buy a game that actually appeals to you instead.

>>379111979
Find a game you love and mod it anew every time you get bored. I've been playing mostly only one game since 2008.

>>379111979

fucking fix your life and stop trying to use video games as a form of escapism.

Literally do anything else with your life and you'll come running back to video games. Get a job, go to gym, join meetup.com to socialize and start making friends, volunteer, go out of state/country.

Just a single one of these will restart your stupid ass.

>>379120731
>>>/pol/

Just accept the fact that vidya died in 2007 and it isn't worth your time anymore.

>>379121125
>and it isn't worth your time anymore.
That's assuming he played everything that's worth playing before 2007. And most likely then not, that's the case.

I just don't play them and do something else with my time. You don't have to autistically play games everyday. Taking a break is good, too.

>>379113643
Depression sneaks up on you. You don't notice it starting, but you get into a "routine".
How many of these do you do?

>>379121363
Don't even want to click that video desu

Take a break, focus on something else going on in my life (Cooking stuff, watching movies, working, finishing up side stuff I need to do, etc).

I've played a lot of stuff in the last several months, and decided to take a small break and do other things until E3 comes around.

>>379121531
That's some pretty advanced depression, bro.

>>379121531
Fair enough. Quick rundown:
>stop fucking with your sleep
>don't sit in your bedroom all day
>set achievable goals. Don't say "I KNOW I'LL MAKE A GAME" or something, set single-day achievable stuff like "I'll clean up this room"
There's more but fuck it, those are the 3 that got me.

I stopped playing on my rig
Laptop can only really handle 2d games; ended up playing don't starve together with a friend, and i'm otherwise restricted to emulators (n64 and below) and indieshit or roguelikes.
It's actually been pretty good, playing around 0-3 hours of vidya a day rather than 2-5, and i've been enjoying it a hell of a lot more.

if you don't want to put away the rig, load up some podcasts and go for walks. Fresh air is top tier for mental health, and intellectual stimulation is the polar opposite of forcing yourself to play video games

/thread

For example I like to run so I spend 1.2-2 hours doing that, then shower, then reading some Anki because I have been postponing this bullshit for years. Surprisingly there's no time left for videogames from Mon-Fri, so weekends are a blast.

>>379111979
Video games aren't something you should be doing 24/7. If you're not in the mood for them then do literally anything else. If you've found out that you have nothing else then you have a critical issue. If you cannot will yourself to do other things then you have another critical issue. Go take a walk, read a book, or do literally anything else buy lay on your bed looking at the ceiling.

>>379111979
Do something else,and come back when I feel like playing games. It ain't that hard.

>>379122461
I was thinking like, reading, tabletop games, weightlifting, drawing, writing, photography, running/biking/hiking, building plastic models.

there's a shit ton to do out there, my dude

Play good games.

>>379123297
I'll do that second thing.

Play something completely different and in more reasonable sessions. I usually play strategy or modern shooters but I've been bored out of my mind for months. Nothing holding my interest enough to play for more than half an hour or so. I started playing Morrowind however as its one of those classics I've never played and its been the most "fresh" feeling I've got out of a game in the last couple of years. I'm really enjoying it the way I enjoyed games in my teens

>>379123603
Do you even know where you are?

>>379124961
Stop projecting you fat fuck

>>379111979
Do something else for a whole month, take up watching movies or readings books, you will eventually get bored of it and get back to videogames.

This is pretty much the same for every hobby out there, even skirt chasing gets boring so you move to cougars but that gets boring too so you move to daughters + cougar but thats eventually gets boring and in the end you're left with a hole in your heart you must perpetually try to fill.

>>379125241
he's not projecting anything onto you. in fact, it's the contrary, that you are a newfag cancerous piece of shit that came along after reading about 4chan in an article. he's saying you're better off where you belong, in a Facebook group with your normalfaggot friends.

I've been browsing this shithole site since 2006. If you weren't the edgy underage little cunt that thinks you're a snowflake for being here you'd realise there are a lot of well adjusted individuals around. Even aside from that, being antisocial or even a complete shut in doesn't mean you have to be lazy. You're projecting that image of lazy squalor on the rest of anons because you don't want to face facts that you are pathetic even among your "peers" here.

>If you cannot will yourself to do other things then you have another critical issue.

How to fix that issue?
Often when I'm involved with something else, I'm looking forward to finishing it and playing vidya. Most of the time I just don't start up the vidya though, and keep doing other random things. Whenever I actually play something, I usually enjoy it, but my main issue is simply to start doing it. Same thing with other activites.

>tfw some days I lack motivation so much that I just go and lay down for an hour

>>379111979
Fuck off /r9k/.
You all should've killed yourselves back in 2011

Vary things up. Do something else for a while. Read a book or two. Let the overexposure pass and you'll be fine.

>>379111979
get hobbies, do some work, anything. You're burnt out because you're getting bored of what you're doing day in and day out. I'm a NEET myself and I try to do anything, walk, ask for odd jobs and work, you need to work that brain of yours bitch.

>tfw only play around 10 to 15 hours of vidya a week nowadays

I've found I have more fun with video games if I've done something that makes me feel good. Just lately I've been doing a great job at work and video games are much more satisfying.

Do something productive, Anon. It will make you feel better.

>>379111979
Force myself to play a game. I'll usually get into it after a short bit of acclimation.
