All your old friends have moved on with their lives. Why haven't you?

All your old friends have moved on with their lives. Why haven't you?

Because they're all miserable now.

>less than 200 games
casuals the lot of them

You sure he's not just dead

I don't have any old friends.
And neither do you.

>tfw steam account is almost 10 years old
i only downloaded steam 10 years ago for something called pacsteam which gives you free steam games.

>have less than 500 games
>not casual

>tfw met one of my greatest friends on halo 3
>added him on Myspace back when that was popular
>eventually drift apart
>have him added on facebook but don't even talk to him

>used to hang with a group of friends on this MMO every day all throughout high school
>we all go our separate ways due to drama and losing interest in the game
>Still have some of them added on social media,dont even speak amongst each other anymore.

I wonder what theyre all up to these days.

No idea where he went. Used to play CSS together. Also no idea why his badge isn't updated.

>buying games

Half of my "old friends" got VAC'd

>old friends
What friends?

>never made lasting relationships with anyone virtually or in real life
huh.

>moved on with their lives
You mean get wageslave job, wife and kid? My brother did this and now he's depressed, his self esteem at the lowest, the only light he has is his cute daughter, his wife turned out to be an idiot with weak maternal instincts.
ALL YOU HAD TO LISTEN, I TOLD YOU SHE'S FUCKING STUPID, STOP BEING BLIND ANDREW, I KNOW YOU'RE SMARTER THAN THAT.

>embarrassed by all the autistic shit and stupid posts I made when I was underage
>had to abandon my account and move on to another one
I had the choice of sticking with my old friends while risking new friends finding out about my past, or the choice of disappearing without a trace while trying to start off fresh and make friends under a new alias.
Now I can't go back to my old friends nor can I make any new ones either.

But I'm miserable too.

With that kind of attitude I don't think you were ever going to get these "new friends" you're talking about.

You're clearly an insecure person that can't have a laugh with your friends when they find something cringe about you.

bu you made friends here user.

Because the only one I have who's "moved on" to that extent died, and I'm not ready.
I still have too much shitposting to do. Not enough people have tasted my misery and suffering yet.

Moving on with your life = dead

I can't delete friends that have been offline for a long time because I think they might come back someday

>become a normie

>all you do is stare at TV
>and use Facebook
>and watch sports
>and talk about Hollywood celebs on Twitter
>and go to movie theatres to see Marvel movies
>and watch Bill Nye on Netflix

Wow, sure is great. Can't wait to "grow up".

>Having an account thats under 10 years old

Fuck off child

Moved on to what?

This

If you've become a normie, you've given the fuck up and probably don't even realize it. Because you were fucking stupid enough to become a normie in the first place.

>Stopped watching TV 10+ years ago
>Stopped using Facebook last year
>Never bothered with celebs save for the truly talented ones
>Didn't bother with capeshit ever since X-Men 3
>Still get called a normie by other Sup Forumsirgins

>stopped using Facebook
>last year
>still get called a normie
No wonder, you just quit using normie crack a year ago. You're not to be trusted yet.

>bad times friend ahead

>still a virgin
>still live at home
>only watch fluffy jap pedo porn
>the world hates me

Finished it off for you user

I won't deny the fact that I'm insecure. In fact, I sometimes considered going back because I knew that "if they were my friends, they wouldn't care about such stuff". However, knowing that some of this information is publicly available and strictly attached to my steam account, anyone could find out about it. And I don't want just anyone knowing about what I was like before.
Also, among that information is my real name, which I once thought was a good idea to put up on my steam profile.

Even my normie friends married with children log on steam now and then to play some shit

I see them playing PUBG a week ago

It'll stop updating if you haven't spent at least $5 after that account activation shit, thank gaben for that.

You say that like if you need to change much about yourself to seem like a nomralfag, hell you don't have to do any of that but maybe Facebook.
All you gotta do is hide your power level for the most part and you'll probably be seen as one, it's too easy.

Also, what if I end up having real friends, or even a family? I would not want my kids to find out about me having watched that one cartoon with pastel colored horses

they didn't move on
they're just dead, either on the inside or on the outside
it's effectively the same either way.

>tfw you realize one day weebs are cancer and you remove them all from your friends list/life
feels great man.

I lost all my friends after the divorce and the cancer treatment when I couldn’t afford to hang out with them.

I remove everybody on my friend's list that hasn't logged on for a week.

Nice projection, user.

I lost my vcard at 14 to a 17 y/o girl. Had a big fucking fetish for older women ever since.

OP is trying to guilt trip people into stop playing videogames and do "normie" things like sports and TV.

This thread remind me about TF2 arab.
I had friends who just stop playing and lose contact, but I still having some friends that besides stopped playing, still in contact.
Sometimes we start to talk about how great our group was, how much fun we had.
In some moments, we still live in the past.

I thought it was obvious that OP was baiting and wasn't serious

This pretty much. I can see right through their fake ass pictures of kids, new houses, vacations and whatnot. I know they're unhappy deep down

While that statement is 100% incorrect for most people I can confirm those things ruined my life and made me miserable.

There's recently been a large influx of newfriends from other places.
They don't really understand the concept of bait yet.

Never had friends. Feminism failed to produce women that would ask me out, so no women or kids either. Work all day, vidya all night.

but at least you have vidya and Sup Forums friends :)

you don't count

Damn I remember playing TF2 on pacsteam when it released

Remember the forum? It seems the dude who ran pacsteam was a conspiracy whacko

On the contrary, half of my old friends are neets, and most of my friends are in the same field so we meet up at conferences and regularly shoot the shit about work over video games.

I have no life to move on with

>looking at childhood friend's profile
>he used to be just as much of an autistic failure as me
>he got /fit/, has a beautiful girlfriend, and decent job and moved out of his parents house

Im never opening facebook again

>i'm going to stop playing video games to trick my brain into releasing endorphins

>instead I'll do a bunch of other random inane meaningless shit to trick my brain into releasing endorphins, but THIS shit is approved of by society

>all those people that are moving on
>all those people that graduated school and in uni
>all those people who have finally lost their virginity and have a girlfriend
>all those people who have some sort of admirable talent and able to show it
>while I'm here with literally nothing to show in the past 6 or 7 years with an unhealthy amount of jealously when I'm reminded of this

How did I fucking let myself get in this shitty position

>tfw you still have an account in your list that belonged to a friend that killed himself
>the days will never stop increasing

>ded friend was online 15 mins ago

Probably a Russian hacker desu

When I was like 12 I joined a group of people making RPGMaker games in GameFAQs. I remember I was 12 because I lied in all the registration forms that required you to be 13. Some of the members in that group drifted away over time, but now I'm 25 and I still play videogames and D&D with a core group of other 6 people from that time. At this point this random group of people, and we like don't even know each other on social media or even really know each others real names, this group of people is who I'm closest to outside my immediate family.

I don't know what society would think of this, but I wouldn't trade my online buddies for real life friendships at this point, we've grown too close as people, even if we're all very far apart geographically.

>theyre not real friends user
>theyre just text on the screen
>go out and make real friends

Basically what I hear from everyone I know, but the friends I've made online are more genuine than anyone I've ever seen them with so fuck'em.

depressing as fuck

>While that statement is 100% incorrect for most people

It isn't. Lots of people are miserable and just hide it and put on a fake smile.

>all these sad cunts
Lads, always remember: someone has to be on the bottom of the barrel. But does it have to be you, and does that mean to stop doing what you love?
Fuck that shit my niggas, I ain't no bottom feeder and neither are y'all, unless you want to be.
Just simply: be yourself, but be the best version of yourself that you can be. I believe in all y'all

Games do not make you happy.

I spend $500 a month of my parents money on Steam, PS4, Switch games each month and still heavily use drugs and alcohol.

Games provide nothing except temporary satisfaction, take it from me, you need a job, a woman and children, if you do not have these you will break.

But you're dead.

But everyone just seems to be way more miserable and stressed once they have kids compared to before, hell even my parents sounded like they were happier before they had me and my brother.

>Games do not make you happy.
And neither does anything else actually, the only thing making you sad is unironically you yourself. Your brain works in a way that it doesn't know what to think so it bruteforces random thoughts which is why your dreams usually look like total gibberish - it's those random thoughts manifested in a dream. The problem here is that you selectively choose to greenlight the sad ones while you're awake and proceed to think about them for tens of minutes, probably hours. Try this exercise: every time you catch yourself thinking about negative shit, immediately block the thought and start calling it pathetic and yourself pathetic for even thinking about it. I guarantee you that in a month all your depression will be cured and you'll be immune to the sadness you experienced so far

t. someone who lives in perpetual happiness even when my life isn't something to be very happy about

I am a part of you, the part that wants something more. The part that questions what I have and why it simply isn't enough. Folks, I'm not saying you have to stop playing the games you like, the platforms you like. But mix it up, go on blind dates, start doing new and different things.
How did you even come to have "favourite" games, if you had never discovered them in the first place?
Such is life, but there's a solid chance that those whom are miserable and stressed out about parenting don't care or take interest in their children.
You only get what you give. If you don't think being a parent will be full of fun and being an enjoyable experience, then for you it simply won't be.

not all hackers are russian, user. steam accounts are relatively easy to jack with cs/recovery

>a woman and children
holy shit don't believe this guy
these things will ruin your life, your bank account, and your mental stability especially if you get a crazy one

good good you have been trained very well

You know the funny thing is, I know I had friends, I always had friends. Moved around so fucking much as a kid I got in the habit of don't get close to people as they will be gone.

I've kept in contact with only 4 people for more than 2 years ever in my life whom are not related. The others, I can't even remember their names, real or otherwise. Did the internet break me as a child in bnets channel sex?

I'm clawing my way out of being a NEET. About to take my driver's license, actively looking for jobs while getting my grades back up so I can get an education. I've got an easy time with computer science but lately been more interested in pure mathematics. Regardless, it IS more rewarding to develop a marketable skills. Playing vidya for hours on end for years isn't a skill unless you do it professionally or be a successful streamer/youtuber. You need something more long term as the main focus in your life to enjoy video games as hobby again.

I actually want kids, imagine having a couple of memesters running around your house. The problem is finding a good woman. I live in shitter fuck ass Sweden so thinking about moving away from this doubleplusgoodthink anti-male shithole.

Just because you get a job, life and a family doesn't mean you have to give up on video games. You just have less time for it. Good luck OP. I'm convinced having kids for the majority of people is a net positive, even if you are vidya obssessed.

>moved on
>giving up on a luxury hobby
no thank

I prefer to live in a solitary fashion.

This is my life.

I've mostly moved on from video games, but I still can't stop coming to this shithole. It's been 10 years now and I don't know how I could possibly fill the void leaving this place would leave.
I play about 1 or 2 video games per month. Haven't played anything in weeks.
