About the same age i discovered porn

about an hour ago

t. 20 year old caucasian male

19-20.

About 16, though I had no idea how good I had it even then.

a year ago, but now i'm playing xenoblade for the first time and is really feelin it

Up till about 28, when my fiance fucked off. 3 years later I'm just a bitter lonely old man.

about 20 when I was super depressed getting really into drugs, 3 years later though and they have gotten really fun for me again, working regularly really helps with filling off time with things you enjoy

When I got access to the Internet.
Internet is literally the cancer that kills vidya.

This desu
Once I got continual access to the internet I really just stopped being able to really get into games. No longer playing the same thing for ten or so hours straight without getting bored. No more autistic grinding MW2 offline so I'd have more shit to play splitscreen with, even though I'd never play splitscreen with anyone.

when I realized I was spending more time on videogame forums than actually playing videogames

when this year had 0 (ZERO!) good ones

When I was about 18-19. You get to the point where you have other responsibilities eg education which is a constant stress at the back of your mind and which makes you enjoy things less. I'm literally playing mgs 5 right now but have been telling myself that I should start on my chemistry assignment for a couple hours now and it's fucking up my immersion.

>tfw exactly 3 months and not a day more til I'm 20

v-video games will still be fun, right guys?

I will never know this feel because I'm incredibly lazy and inherently a bad person

Probably when I was 20.
Multiplayer games still fill that void, but I just can't play single player shit anymore aside from some exceptions.

this is a videogame forum?

If you still find joy in vidya after the last ~3 years of utter shit, turning 20 won't do anything to you.

You still have lods of time to save yourself m8, just go outside every now and then. Vidya is fun when you're escaping something, but when it starts to dominate your life you can only escape vidya with more vidya and it just gets boring.

>tfw exactly 3 months and not a day more til I'm 20
>v-video games will still be fun, right guys?
You entirely missed the golden era (early 90s) and most likely grew up with 7th gen games.
I'm so sorry.

I had some stretches where it got real bad with the video games but I'm going strong right now

It might be too late for me

Yeah grandpa the grass was always greener back when and so on

If you only enjoy a game because of when and where you played it it's a shit game

kek it's not too l8 at all m8, I only started changing my life at 22 (23 now) and so far been doing okay, I'm almost a normie now and video games are more fun and engaging because I don't play them as often.

28. Basically a week ago. I still have no job, no money and no life and it hit me when I was petting a shiny eevee I had caught just how pathetic and lonely I really am. Hell, I'm still living in my step mom's house

woe is me, please reply

>tfw 31
>tfw have well over 100+ unplayed games in my steam library
>tfw not more than 10 games have been genuinely satisfying over the last 5 years
>tfw games just fill the void really until I get a gf again

when i started working full time and was too tired to do anything other than shitpost on Sup Forums after i got home

vidya isn't the problem, its the fact 70% of my time awake is spent at work or commuting to work

Have a (You) user

I hope it brightens your day

Are you me? Thou I will say buying a ps4 has help me enjoy some games again

I don't feel a void.

>mfw ive stopped buying games and have started spending a good chunk of my money on weekly hookers

I went from 0 sexual partners to 20+ in a year and its starting to get old fast. Not sure where i go from here.

Slowly but surely I am getting there. Currently 21. But playing FFX Remastered has helped to get me back into liking vidya at least for a while.

Which void? I mean, don't we just play games because it's fun?

>tfw have well over 100+ unplayed games in my steam library
Who hasn't? Vidya facebook is not for playing games.
>Thou I will say buying a ps4 has help me enjoy some games again
Same here. Got a PS4 and I'm enjoying the ride! Feels like being 15 again.

>Which void
>he has so many voids he can't even keep track of them

Are you me? I mean I'm happy and all but whenever i see my brother/friends with their gf or even random people it starts to destroy me from inside, idk why am i such a antisocial fuck

I'm just mad because I have more ambitious ideas for games than we will likely see ever made for whatever various reasons

It physically hurts me when I think about how much potential fun and creativity and cool shit we will never see because DICE and EA decided to be huge dicks and never release mod or map tools for BF3/4.

Their fucking greed and obsession over premium, DLC and more profit means we're denied the chance to see the Battlefield modding and mapping community shine.

BF2 brought so many new things, (not least of all PR leading to SQUAD now) BF3 and 4 with mod/map tools could have done the same, if it wasnt for their greed.

I can't even play most games anymore without a podcast or a movie on or something. I fucking need that extra bit of simulation.

user you dumb. vidya always fill the void when you have friends/ family to play it with.

At 22, a little bit after horse armor.

it's sad but I'm the same way I spend a lot fo time gaming but always with netflix or a podcast on

...

Literally all I do is play with friends yet it's still boring. I have more fun bantering with my friends on mic than playing the actual games themselves.

They still fill the void.

It's the times that I'm not playing them is the problem.

>Realized at age 15, now 22
>Barely drinking age and already my soul has been dead for seven years
>I will never be happy again except for short periods after long, depressing stints that make the happiness not worth going through the depression
>I might actually kill myself around 35

If you play nothing but video games then you'll get burned out relatively quick.

Just have more hobbies and you'll appreciate games more.

I just heard a train driver tell, how he saw in people's eyes right before he hit them, that they regretted in the last moment before death.

He could only see the eyes of the ones who jumped ofcourse, but the ones who lay down usually survive, so.

Point being: Living is better than dying, even when you are so far out you actually kill yourself.

19, am 21

Started to notice my lack of enthusiast level gaming about eight years ago. No game since ffxi has had me throughly engrossed. I think because mmorpgs have become too easy and micro transaction for pay to win. It's sad. I see a game and get hyped only to start playing and feel a lack of interest and hour in.
