I took a week off in my job to play games, but I have played for maybe 3-4 hours and now I sit in front of my PC, browsing chans and bored as fuck.

What do? i'm 25, feel like everything bores me now

most games are shit nowdays
>taking a week off from job to play vidya
actually kill yourself

Go walkabout. Gets your juices flowing at youll be ready to game

Literature you big dummy.

Start with the Greeks.

Go outdoors, do sports, work out, educate yourself etc. Honestly.

Also quit browsing imageboards. Just fucking do it. You'll be so much better off.

Take copius amounts of drugs.

Go somewhere.

Honestly 1 week is barely enough for traveling, need at least 2 weeks.

Start with not frogposting, stop browsing /r9k/ too

I know that frog.

Nowadays I spend more time programming that one game than actually playing any games - including the one I'm contributing to.

>took a week off in my job to play games
Why? Seems like you'd get enough vidya time in the weekends or whatever day in the week you don't go to work.

>i'm 25, feel like everything bores me now
Maybe you just need some 'motivation' to enjoy games again like some user suggested
In the chance you are done with vidya, have you tried other hobbies? Like art or music etc
Personally I alternate between drawing and playing videogames

I was in the same place as you a few years ago. My suggestion is to get out of your comfort zone. Try games from genres you've never really considered before. For me that was JRPGs. Persona 3/4 quickly became two of my favourite games of all time and reignited my love of games. I wouldn't have even considered looking at them a few years ago but I'm so glad I did.

Get another fucking hobby.

Get friends, get a gf, get out.

I don't get people who get bored of gaming. There's so much to play. Whenever I don't hang out with friends or work I always play video games until I pass out.

Yah bro, just b urself and go 2 party get drunk and score

Been a NEET for 10 years. You're small time!

And some people claim this site isn't infected with normies

>What do?

Spend less time on the computer

Seriously, that's what it does to you. It robs you of your joy.

In before 200 posts defending normies and saying shit like
>I'm not a normie, I once didn't have a gf for a whole month
>I even fapped to anime porn once!

Midnight launch for the Switch so I'll be awesome in 26hrs time.

>takes a week off from work to play videogames
>frogposter

I hope you get paralyzed in front of your parents dumb nigger.

your new to Sup Forums aren't you

kys

cncnet.org you dumb fag

You should wait for Andromeda

What platforms do you own, OP?

This tbqh familia

why not? havent had a break since october

Sounds like you need some friends

Go join a hobby group at your local game shop, I was getting jaded myself until I picked up casual magic and D&D

Get over your defeatist self and do something else.

Do it.

OP here. I have gf if it anyhow helps, we play to get married in 2018/19.

Anyway, thread is not about my fucking life. I used to enjoy the shit out of gaming, playing Icewind Dale 2, theorycrafting my chars and reading about the lore when I was 17, now I just click to skip the dialogues in the games I play with and rush to the final..

Well be honest with yourself. You will never, EVER be able to quit imageboards. You will be with us for the rest of your life. We are basically like family. For me, anonymous is even closer to me than my real family. Just relax and accept it. The sooner you accept that we are a part of you, the sooner you will lose that anxiety. At this point, you must realize that moderation is important with imageboards, as it is with all things. Spend just a couple hours on Sup Forums, then try to go outside if you can. Then come back and see if you are ready to play a game.

Not OP but
>really love the tabletop format
>super into the class and customization systems
>fucking love Judge Dredd style neutral or evil paladins
>groups fucking hate it when I use force to solve conflicts, when that's the entire premis of my character
>probably gonna need to 'adapt' (neuter) my character or leave the current campaign I'm in
feelsbadman

So many good suggestions and guidelines ITT.
Here's to hoping OP won't just wallow in self-pity and will actually do as proposed.

we plan*

Go thingk of lyfe somewhere else faggot

yeah, like
>find a hobby
great fucking pro-tip

You're fucking retarded if you think there are good guidelines in this thread.
Not misguided, not wrong - mentally deficient.

It's time for you to mate.

>someone finally realizes that live is boring as fuck
>tell him to make a baby, so the baby can discover the same fucking thing 20 years later

fuck you, really, you're an idiot

>try old vidya
>actually have fun
>UI generally sucks, some experimental clunky mechanics here and there
>cool gimmicks that actually make the game stand out
>also works for games I never had nostalgia goggles for because I never played them as a kid

>want to try new vidya that isn't some obscure indie title
>get so bored I can't even finish the trailer/gameplay video/whatever

My punishment for having a taste.

For honor is pretty fresh if you can get past the learning curve

Can I pirate it?

it's mmo

Oh I have a very special place for this genre of games

where to start

Quit imageboards. After that, suit yourself. The important bit is unironically to get out of your comfort zone.

25, playing games daily. Working full time and doing masters.

Try different genres,pirate shit, and try to have an attitude of self improvement instead of spewing salt.

Challange yourself.

>go die in a desert
This is the only correct answer

The internet ruined attention spans. I guaran-fucking-tee you that if your net wasn't working, you'd be playing games.

what games do you play? maybe my games just suck

I know bro, I know...

why don't you go for suicide op?

Doesn't work that way.

When my internet goes down, I get depressed as fuck and keep opening and closing everything in hopes I left something for later.
I do play more games at first, but if it lasts longer, I re-read old pdfs, eat (when not hungry), go to sleep and get tired of all of that.

Don't know what would happen if it went down for a week or so, though. It's all mid term.
Maybe a normie wizard would come and transmute me into a winner at life?

alright

thanks

No problem, hope it works out for you buddy.

This
But I am here forever, it's impossible to quit. Anons are the only people, besides my gf and people in work, that I talk to

It's not impossible, it's the same as any addiction. You just have to make those steps.
Might even ask for outside help if it's that bad.

buy a PS4. PCs are not for gaming.

Nothing wrong with going on holiday, but to want to spend it playing videogames is just silly. That said, did you just inmideatly try to go and play as soon as your vacation started? You should probably wait and rest a while beforehand, you're likely too tired to enjoy anything until you recover.

I remember taking 5 days off when FO4 came out

Oh boy what a fucking travesty that was

I was actively looking forward to going back to work

why?

had lots of time to take off

decided to take some off for a game series I generally liked up until that point

so I did?

I asked why it was a travesty

>FO4

it explains itself really

There's literally nothing wrong with being a normie. I come here to laugh and shitpost honestly.

You are literally the worst kind of """person""" that comes to Sup Forums.
Pure essence of cancer.

There's literally nothing you can do about it. I get banned, I just flick my router on and off.

Thankfully your kind is self-defeating: when enough of you gather in one place, it gets so boring you disperse.
Such is the cycle of Sup Forums.

I've been here since 2011. Just because you have no life doesn't mean everyone else here doesn't.

My situation is kinda related. Every day at work, I just wait to get back home and play video games or spend quality time with my car. When i get home, I can't be arsed to play video games at all, just kinda like sit there staring at the monitor or browsing some random ass shit half heartedly.
Worst of all, I just want to get back to work when I'm sitting at home. I don't even like my job that much.

Of course there was always cancer on Sup Forums.
If there wasn't any, it would be a shining example of pure awesomeness and it would attract cancer anyway.
Some cancer always stays during an exodus.

Download Zandronium and play some invasion

>be 25 like OP
>realise videogames ain't doing it anymore for me
>try to get a gf
>a cute homely girl is interested
>turns out she is really hot
>sperg out along the way and fuck it up
>now 27, sitting alone in my basement trying to figure out like OP how to get back into vidya

That seems more like a need to actively do something.
I'm exactly like that and when that shit happens too often I go back and play FFXIV. With the sheer amount of stuff to do you always have your mind occupied.

It probably does, but the main problem here is that video games aren't cutting it anymore. Like I bought a bunch of FF games despite not caring that much for JRPGs and never even played a FF game, but I haven't touched them even once because I just can't be bothered anymore.
Maybe I am growing out of video games.

You're cancer as well. And a cancer in real life too. Quite saddening.

OP here

I HAVE EXACT SAME FUCKING FEELING BRO

Unironically smoke weed
Every game's fun-factor is now enhanced tenfold

Reddit is right around that corner.

Maybe the problem is, that I almost always play RPGs? Maybe I'm just tired with this genre and need something different?

>awesomeness
I think you should go instead lad

I'm not referring to FFXIV as a game but more as a "to-do list" that could keep you occupied and busy, as most of the stuff in that game is pretty easy and can be done without having to put some effort.

Although I also agree with games not being as relevant as before. Right now I try to play some vidya I even carry in my 3ds and at the same time going out with friends and stuff.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Says the guy posting on the imageboard.

How do you survive ? in my country if you're claiming benefits for more than 2 months they start to question you.

Similar boat as you. Not taking a week off of work but similar. I only enjoy games with scotch in my system nowadays. It makes every single game more enjoyable. I suggest you become an alcoholic if enjoying games is your goal. It worked for me.

Get rimworld, shits addicting.

Yup, I know, but it kinda dumbs me down. OP here.

God, i hate my fucking life. I want a remake this instant.

Work has made games more enjoyable for me because I don't have to play them too much. The only downside is when I get home I'm too tired to play half the time.

>Steam: 1.6 hours past 2 weeks

Might I make a suggestion part 2 instead?
Go for something nostalgic. I went on a nostalgic binge a couple months back and it revitalized my love for gaming. I played Majora's Mask for the first time in over a decade. I played Age of Empires 2. I played anything that reminded me of simpler and better times. It was a soothing break from the monotony.

>bought a PS4 this year bought Nioh and BB
>already have 300 hours in Nioh
>cant wait to play BB

man my faith in video games is restored thanks to Sony.

Sony had nothing to do with either of those games

GAMER GUNK

Xbox 360.

That is actually quite good advice. I used to love Tolkien and LOTR games, I guess I'll download Return of the king, get myself a beer and play the shit out of it! Tanks user lol

>financed said games
>nothing to do with

(you)

Nothing besides PC. OP here
