I can still get those feelings, but that's mostly because I'm a casual

>Full time job, plenty of dosh, happy, tons of time for vidya on weekends

You're the problem, not video games.

Putting vidya in the OP doesn't make it video games related.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I don't know this feel.

Is it?

I don't know about you fags, but I saw it coming ever since I was a kid. I knew I was going to end up alone and bitter and feeling worthless. And, you know what? It hasn't made it any easier.

I guess, I manage to not think about it most of the time though, it's like i'm comfortable with the situation until something happens and I remember

>>382393032
I am like this but I want to change. How

can you give me the rundown on this guy?

>>382395826
A lot of good points wrapped in the mind of a man blinded by his flaws as a romantic.

>>382393032
I used to be like this. Thankfully I turned it around before I got too old. My advice is find something you are interested in and go to a trade school. When you find a career you like. Now I have a job i love. Pussy on the reg. And still love vidya

ORIENT YOURSELF

WHAT GOAL WHAT JUSTIFY THE SUFFERING OF YOUR LIFE

i like him, thanks

>>382393032
I can't even play video games anymore. I can't enjoy them as a NEET unless I've spent at least 9 months working like a dog and avoiding them.

You gotta stop caring so much about external validation. You can't self actualize if you let the world rule your life to that degree. Like, sure you've gotta work so you don't starve and shit, but why do you care beyond that? You need some time in isolation to internalize who you really are and find motivation from within. You're never going to be happy trying to please the world.

He's a conservative Canadian psychologist that made a bunch of trannies at the University of Toronto butthurt when he refused to use their preferred pronouns.

He posts his lectures on Youtube. Common themes include Jungian archetypes, The Gulag Archipelago, the power of myth, and so on. A lot of 4chan likes him for his anti-PC views, but many find him a bit too pretentious. Your mileage may vary.

I also had a childhood full of vidya (and friends). Not an emotional cripple, but I sleep around maybe too much, and have issues with commitment.

Then again, I don't play vidya nearly as much as some years ago, because I'm really busy.

>Had childhood full of vidya
>Play it almost constantly
>26 now
>Still retain that sense of wonder
>Still get invested in new games
>Still get decently excited for it
>Not afflicted by rampant cynicism
>Even working a decent job, still find time for riding my bike on the weekends and playing vidya into the night
>Actually pretty happy with myself
