>mfw the last time I was in the zone was 3 or 4 years ago when my dad was on a trip and I played New Vegas for 12 days straight, only pausing to sleep or to make hardboiled eggs

It was weird and filthy because I barely showered, it was summer and I never went outside, but it's still a very fond memory, because it was one of the last times I REALLY enjoyed a videogame for longer than 2 hours.

>MGR was the last time i entered the zone

That was an insane high. better than any drug i had ever done. Thing is, it was wholly necessary for me to even beat the game. (full sombrero run, white armor is for pussies).
Everything between jetstream sam and the credit roll is a blur. All I know is for at least a few hours i was ascended.

I havent played it since then. Every time i try i can never get in the right mindset.
I really need to find another game that does that for me.

When this happens you are already outside of the zone.
The zone is basically a state of hyperfocus, it allows nothing else through, since all that remains is a faint memory, you're only aware of it after the fact.

I remember when I got into the zone while playing MvC3 because for the first time, this guy was able to piss me off in vidga by using meta characters and taunting after each KO. I don't know how, but when I got queued against him again right afterwards, I almost perfected his ass. It's what got me into fightans.

I think if we're going to define the zone, you would technically not be in it if you realize you were in it. You can still be performing well upon leaving the zone, which can make you think you are in the zone, but if you're thinking that much about it, you probably aren't.

I can do it in dance dance revolution. It's kind of a floating awareness though, like i can think to myself "wow, my peripheral awareness is insane right now. I cant believe im doing this." But that's about as far as it goes. DDR forces you to sty in the zone though, you're already in sync with the song and its like it lays out a road to focus on for you.

This isn't true. The strongest zone you can still be aware of. You know you are in the zone, firing on all cyclinders, etc. But the idea you are in it cannot even distract you from how powerful it is. It will happen to me, I'll knowledge it, feel some faint "euphoria" and then continue to get lost in the zone. You don't think about it, you just kind of recognize the state of your brain and go "holy fuck" before getting back into it.

I feel like every time I'm in the zone I'm too calm and focused to feel energetic or powerful enough that could be summed up with a pic or theme. It's usually just calmly playing to the best of my ability. Sometimes though I have another kind of phase where I'm just having tons of fun, I'm overjoyed, smiling from ear to ear, hyped, etc, and my performance also improves drastically. Are those just two different faces of The Zone?

The last time I distinctly remember a specific encounter into the Zone was years ago. I was playing Ys: Oath in Felghana at the Chester 2 boss fight and I found my reactions muscle memory growing faster while I was in the flow. It took a while and some frustration but I found the encounter enjoyable and was sad that I could not boss rush the fight to fight Chester again unless I replayed.

Best moment I had was in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

Joined a server with only two other guys on it, and had to fight them both off simultaneously.

What commenced was me spending literally 30 minutes on a hill fending them off wave after wave after wave simultaneously without dying. I was a fucking machine.

To be fair, they weren't very good. But defeating the same two guys at the same time over and over and over again until they get to the point where they start backing away if you make sudden moves and try surrounding you and shit, it was a total fucking high.

No, because "being in the zone" basically concentrating 100% on what you're doing.
There are no stray thoughts in that situation.
Once you start consciously thinking, you've already lost.

You never willingly enter The Zone. The Gatekeeper to The Zone must deem you worthy to enjoy its gifts and only for a limited time.
>>
>>380654283
I can enter the zone at will sometimes.
I have to be wearing a hat, and to enter the zone I take my hat off and throw it aside. The problem is that sometimes that hat lands weird and it doesn't get me in the zone, but if it lands right its instant zone for me

You can't do it at will, but you can summon it up if you have control over your psychology.

So let's say in a competitive game like a fighting game, you're playing someone and you both enter the zone. What determines the outcome? Is it your basic skill level, so whoever has the better overall skill will win? Or does the zone equalize both players' abilities?

You don't enter THE ZONE anon, you feel it within you.
>A moment when the Gods bless your hands and eyes and nothing but the screen remains.
>Like the blip of an old CRT as it switches off. A flash, then silence.
>You are one with your mind and body, no action requires thought, you move with nothing but the cold efficiency of a machine.
>You forget everything except perfect combinations of buttons, pixel perfect movements of your mouse, breathing and fine dining. Every thing you've learned and everything you will see in the ZONE becomes a moment that stretches forever.
>You don't will it, you don't find it. You don't enter the ZONE, anon.

The ZONE enters YOU.

zone is adrenaline and reaction
adrenaline and reaction are tempered and honed by skill
knowledge guides that skill

even if you know your shit, if you haven't practiced you'll choke. This is a lack of skill/practice.

Even if you've practiced, you can get figured out by a player who knows more than you do. This is a lack of knowledge.

Does depression lock you out of the zone/flow?

I find it hard to find games that'd get me into the zone other than rhythm games nowadays. And most of the time, when I am in the zone, I have to strain my upper arm in a weird way to maintain it.
And that shit actually affects me enough that I have to start taking breaks every 3-4 fails or so.
Getting old sucks.

Same. I was playing soccer and was pretty tired and had the ball. I whited out and when I was aware again, I had gotten past every defender trying to stop me and scored. Had to take a break after that though or else I'd collapse. Sweated like a motherfucker too. I almost threw up.

This happened to me in Twilight Princess the first time I made it through the Cave of Ordeals. I made it to the very last floor with 3ish hearts left and fought the dark nut at the bottom. He took me down to a quarter heart before I got all his armor off. I was basically playing a back and forth with him for 30 minutes, dodging his attacks everytime while trying to figure out how to fucking break its armor. When I finally killed it I breathed a sigh of relief like I just passed a turd three times the size of my asshole. Every other time I've ever gotten that low in a game I've always died.

If you intentionally try to get into the zone, you can only get as far as The Zone (False). I've managed to do this by watching trap porn before playing and I imagine getting to fuck the trap if I win as a reward.

The Zone (True) is a subconscious thing and only comes when you are in a state eligible for it. If not, it goes to waste. In The Zone (True), I become the trap and get fucked.
