How many of you play video games just to fill the void in your lives?

One of the things I'm most afraid of in life now is a succubus tricking me out of my STEM bux and bringing my planned out single life to ruin.

I'll answer that with a question.

who doesn't?

Every action in your life is to fill the void in your life with something you like. Nobody DOESN'T do that.

If you're asking how many people here play games to feel better, then i'll show you to the second line in this post.

I was already fucked from the day I was born since I have legitimate autism. Video games not only fill a void for me, they also distract me from how shitty reality is.

Why not become religious?

All the good religions are just excuses to nag you to be a normalfag these days.

religion turns you into a normalfag.

Void? What void? Video games are the void.
Blogpost time motherfuckers, because this thread is irrelevant anyways.

I tried to live this so called "normal life". Where you have a female companion, a bunch of male buddies you hang out with, a physical hobby, intense social interactions and so forth.
It was entertaining for the novelty of it for month, maybe two, then you start seeing how fake all of it. Your gf, if she's not a slut only caring for money and status, only needs you for emotional venting. She gets sad, you comfort her, she gets angry you calm her, she gets horny you fuck her. But god forbid you to want anything it's instantly perceived as weakness or as selfishness. Then you try different type of relationship where you dominate woman, but then she stop being a companion and starts being little more than a pet. I don't want fucking pet.

Your buddies are in there for similar reasons, but at least this time its mutual. You satisfy their emotional needs, they satisfy yours. Is it friendship? Of fucking course it's not, if something major happens in your life, they will only be there for you if shit's positive, but if you get in trouble, it's not their trouble k? Deal with it yourself.

Your hobby is there only to get you approval of society. Being into sports or cars or whatever social activities are available in your area is needed to raise your status, to get you an approval from "like minded" people, to have something to talk about.
Good thing if you actually like it and enjoy it, then you might actually stick with it. Otherwise it's just another time waste.

And so every time I went to sleep, after fucking my gf or otherwise, I felt this shit you call void - emptiness, lack of point, despair. And every morning I was wondering why the fuck am I even getting up? I don't want to do it. Don't want to be with this woman, don't want to be with these guys, don't want to train in this gym, I don't fucking want it.
I don't want to pretend to be something I'm not. I don't want to play a role.

Well except I do want to. But I want to pretend I'm slashing horrendous monsters, I want to pretend I'm shooting kebabs in some desert, I want to pretend I command an army of hover tanks harassing enemy base.
I want to play a role. A role of a hero, a role of a villain, a role of a witness of great war, a role of goddamn deity holding fate of the world in a palm of my hand. Not a role of an NPC going about its daily duties only for Player-chan to never press interact button near me.

Games are not real, but neither is this fucking "real" life. Or if you insist that it's real, then game are even more fucking real. They allow you to feel, to actually be free, in your mind, in your soul, as opposed to nowhere.

So if you mcfaggots feel "void" when your lives consist of video games, I'm scared to imagine what you'll feel when you switch to "real" life.

That's actually pretty cut and dry for me.

Religion is only good if the community is accepting and supportive. Not like the "it's okay to chop your dick off and wear women's clothing" way, but "hey buddy who I met a socialized in the pew, want to hang out and drink beer after church?" kind of way.

If you become religious in America, you have to contend with the bible belt biblethumper crazies, who (when I was a devout christian) actually fucking sent me to a indoctrination camp and told my parents to not come (they did and they hated it and ditched Christianity or at least stopped going to church like I did)

Besides, I already follow my personal religion/belief.

I call it humanism. The belief that no matter how fucking stupid people act, evil will never prevail and become the default.

No, there isn't a church and no you don't fucking pray to the human consciousness because that's fucking stupid. You just kind of never give up hope. In fact, if you're not hoping, you're KNOWING that shit will turn out okay anyway.

I've found out that if you focus on sadness, you'll take actions to ensure it stays, because it's what you're focusing on.

i play video games for fun, its alcohol that fills the voids
