How do I fall back in love with vidya?

I'm bored with everything I have. I want something I can get totally engrossed in, something that will bring my autism to new heights.

Any genre, any system. I just need something to make me remember why I loved vidya in the first place.

Go and get a wife, you'll learn to love vidya after marriage.

Vidya is shit. Serve your country, race, and faith.

Try making some.

Try something you've never played before.
I doubt you even played every genre there is out there.
Pick up games that look like they're good but that you never played because you thought you wouldn't have fun playing them because they're "not your thing". I started doing this 2 years ago when I decided to play the first Dragon Quest and I've been playing so much good shit I skipped before.

...

It sounds to me like you have depression, try going outside.

You are not the target audience anymore. The sooner you acknowledge that, the better

I really only have the motivation to grind on some vidya only if I take copious amounts of adderall.

Too bad I'm NEET and broke and can't even buy some from my friend, he might even be reluctant to sell me some of his since I got pulled over with some on me last winter that I got from a different guy. Might have spooked in

This. Get some exercise, try a different hobby for a bit. It's natural to get burned out every now and then. We'll be here when you come back with your renewed vigor and stories of games you got back into

Go cold turkey for a year, then go and play your favorite vidya, and ask yourself if you're having fun. And when you're going for a no vidya for a year thing, go do something else, like getting /fit/

this

I can attest to this, too. Work out every day and you'll get more endorphin which as long as you don't fap too much; can tap into serotonin reserves more effectively. It will also make you feel like less of a lazy peace of shit when you realize you can be good at videogames and exercise.

I had a friend whose mom forced that on the whole family. Not as a "games will feel better when return to them, or even as a punishment, just "no one is allowed to play vidya here for the next 365 days."

Try Tropical Freeze if you like DKC and weren't just using a random image, I think it emulates okay these days and it's super fucking charming. Even better if you have good friend to co-op it with.

Maybe you've just outgrown it? Sooner or later you realize you're just consuming the creative output of people who aren't particularly creative, and you naturally lose interest.

Try taking a break that's what I did. When I was in my mid twenties I burned myself out on vidya. So I took all my shit, put in the closet, and tried new shit. Ended up getting into gardening.

No.


Tried, all that did was make me realize that I'm shit at math and logic.


I suppose I can give shmups or fighting games a try. I never really got into those before.


Maybe you're right. I could use the exercise anyway.

Looks like your digits have lead you to the answers you need

I'm shit at those to, but all you have to do is keep on trying. Wish I had somewhere to actually learn this stuff quickly though. I heard colleges take years before they actually show you anything game related.

Dude, please limit your intake of hard stimulants like that. Adderall is essentially legal amphetamines and long-term use will burn out the receptors in your brain.


Loss of motivation/interest is 99% caused by overindulgence or is a symptom of depression. Try doing literally anything else with your time for a while and focus on playing vidya sparingly. I've personally noticed that I enjoy games much more when I can only sneak in an hour or two a day between school/work because I'm trying to make that little bit of time count. I can't really do those 8+ hour binges like I used to when I was younger.

What if my country is Canada? Should I still serve my country?

the only way we can fix our shitty maple syrup cuckshed is by making it great again by ourselves unless you're native, in which case fuck you

When will this die and will it be before or after you die? Could we move both dates up to today?

Not OP, but the last time I went for a run, I felt extremely tired after only two straight minutes of running. I'm not a fatass, and weigh around 150 pounds. Can anyone explain why I get tired so easily?

Never ever.

not being fat does not preclude being weak, user. you're probably just used to a sedentary lifestyle and have lost constitution points. the more cardio you do the more endurance you'll have

I had small sized blood cells because of reduced hemoglobin count because I didnt have enough iron for proper blood formation. I took like 70 mg of iron a day with OJ (my prescription says with orange juice, it's medically prescribed, kek) and I got lots of color back in a few weeks

tldr could be anemia caused by iron deficiency, easily fixed. Talk to your doctor eitherway

What kinds of games do you play? What were the last few games you played? What are your favorite games?

You aren't lying, the broscience will forever lead the manlet to overthinking the shit out of his problems and marrying his bodily insecurities to his puritanical upbringing, justifying it with his limited understanding of biology and fitness. When will they learn? Never ever.

Masturbating to porn is degenerate and bad for the soul.

Sex is fine, semitic desert religions are the problem. All of you belong in the same oven.

Alcohol.
It's the only reason why I play vidya anymore. I can't enjoy vidya when I'm sober. I just shitpost or lay in bed all day watching videos on my phone.
But, be careful. You may become an alcoholic like me. I've been drinking for 10 years and I'm in really bad shape. If I don't quit soon, I'm kill, which is fine with me.
Maybe find some friends to play multiplayer games, if that's your thing. Probably a dumb meme game like valve games, OW, Darksouls, etc. I've been limited to SP games only, with the rare turn based game like HS or 100% OJ, because I don't have access to good internet living in the sticks and my drinking has went up since.

Why is your choice of drug so shit, user?

I'm a friendless NEET on NEETBUX. I can't afford much. I also don't want to use shit like DUDEWEED and find out I have to take a drug test one day and lose my bux, which I'll easily fail since I'm a lazy fat NEET and smoking even once make me positive for at least a week. But at this point … I have nothing to lose if I keep drinking. What else would I use? If I could even find it. My last connection for DUDEWEED, a faggot I grew up with, has cut contact with me because of political SJW shit. So I have no dealer. It's fine, I had to drive 100 miles roundtrip to get to him anyways. Not sure how I go about meeting a dealer here either since I'm so autistic and awkward, well, unless I'm buzzed.

weed is no better, fagmo. if you're cool with death, bang some fucking heroin into your arms or do some krokodil. or even better, quit bitching, quit drinking and spend your neetbux on shit that you actually need

DUDEWEED is as plebby as alcohol, if less unhealthy. Go get some shrooms or something, drug tests and psyches are basically all good. Bonus points you might turn into less of a terrible person for both not being on your depressant and being led to confront yourself and your problems in a less escapist fashion.

This is shit advice.

Honestly, me fucking with psychedelics probably made me schizo in the first place … or maybe it was the spice … last time I smoked spice was in 2011 when I was trying to act like a normalfag and tried to change my life around. Smoked it because of work over weed. Not sure if I should touch acid or shrooms again. Hell, not even DXM I will go near. I've also fucked with a lot of research drugs, which spice got me into.

I was never into downers, really. I've already had enough problems being (((depressed))) and downers never worked. I fucked around with coke and meth when I worked. They were great. Alcohol puts me in a good mood and I drink it all day. To self medicate. I've snorted heroin a few times.
And to both you faggots, taking drugs is not a competition you fucking underage shits. No drug is for "plebs" or "not hardcore" enough. You know what's the more "hardcorelmao" drug out there? Shit that fucks with your GABA receptors aka Benzos and to some extent Alcohol. With those drugs, you'll literally die from withdrawals if you've become dependent, unlike heroin, crack or whatever bullshit you could think of. Even Phenibut is more hardcore than your shit heroin addiction. You won't die from withdrawing from heroin, well … unless you don't keep yourself hydrated.

I have shit knees due to an injury and can't run much, but I find an elliptical helps. Listen some podcasts or some vidya music and you should be able to go at a decent pace until your endurance lets you do normal running.

I'm not talking about dying from heroin withdrawal, I'm talking about "can your diseased and alcohol-battered heart handle a load of fucking China White slamming into it at Motley Crue speeds"

I am serious in that you should quit fuckin drinking though. I watched a really close family friend die from liver cirrhosis and it's not painless, man. that poor bastard would have died screaming if it wasn't for the morphine in his veins. not to mention that liquor is really fuckin expensive. get a better vice, seriously - even toy trains or some shit would probably end up costing less in the long run

That's generally true, but we're not talking about sex, are we, masturbator?

In my current condition? Probably not. I take 2mg of klonopin a night, even after drinking over a liter of vodka through out the day, yet I'm still alive. I should have died in my sleep long a go.

But yeah, I should quit. I know I should quit. Everyone tells me to quit. And by everyone I mean my GP and psychiatrist, doctors. It's sad. I'm worse than a retard that isn't self aware. I know what's wrong, but I choose to fuck up anyways. No blissful ignorance here.
I get my blood checked every ~8 months and I'm not doing so well. I just lie that I've quit drinking and pretend that I just eat like a fatty. Which is funny, being a fatfuck eating disgusting food gives you the same liver results as if you're an alcoholic. At least with your liver. And since I'm fat from being an alcoholic, they can't tell the difference. And that's another issue, especially with all the SJW fatfuck HAES bullshit they've been pushing. Being a fat fuck is not okay.

But yeah, I need a new vice. Something … but I'm not sure what. I mean, I would smoke weed instead of drinking if I could get it legally and not have to worry about losing my bux, but I can't. Not even fucking memeing here. Alcohol is gone from my system in ~16 hours after bed. Weed? Oh boy, at least 3 weeks if I'm a regular smoker. I can't gamble with that. I've looked up legal nootropics, either "supplements" or research chemicals. Fuck. I had to quit taking these schizo meds these jews gave me because of the side effects. I've spent over 5 years being a hamster trying different shit and dosages. Sure, I'm an alcoholic now which is worse in hindsight, but it at least makes me feel good. If I keep drinking and I start having unbearable pain, I could just kill myself or OD on heroin or something. The problem is that I can't enjoy anything sober anymore. If becoming fit and fucking whores would make me happy, I would do it. I've tried it. I've tried most shit normalfags strive for. It's all fake. A lie. No one cares. Fake reality.

...

If it's anything on that list it's research chems or shit quality acid, not to say that your acid was necessarily shit but that's my only other supposition because I doubt it was either the spice or good acid/shrooms in general.

Masturbation is even more fine, because sex could potentially be rape and rape is not fine.

Lol.

How about you get a competent doctor that helps you out? Hell, if you're that desperate, get a lawyer and he'll get paid with your first huge check. You did apply for neetbux asap, right? You know you get back pay since when you first applied? Dumbfuck, not my fault you're retarded.

Hell, go ahead and grab a knife and go downtown half naked and start yelling shit. You'll get your bux then.

Also I want to throw STDs in the mix too, they're potentially obnoxious and masturbation is free from that concern as well.

back to your containment board

Sometimes the best thing to do is to quit games for like six months.

Play Mount & Blade Warband if you haven't.

Alternatively find a focus for your autism in meat space. Learn computer science, engineering, how to draw, write a story, or music, etc.

Great advice there, friendo

Dumb alchy here, back.

Play fighting games. It's way more fun having shitters ragequit on you. Make sure you record it though and report them. Fucking niggers want their perfect score! I'm playing MKX, since MK9 seems dead.

:^)

what

Be productive in your life. Entertainment is only enjoyable after hard work or progress during the day.

All these dumb saging faggots or with their shit namefags, fuck off faggots

Feels good man

Play something with a lot of grind.
Not necessarily an RPG, because those are boring if you overindulge in them, and you can rarely find sweet spots where grinding for an hour or more is feasible without overleveling.

I recently played Metal Gear Solid V and that is a game with good grind.
And before you know it, you've spent several hours just running around kidnapping people and unlocking new weapons.

Very, very engrossing.
Just don't rush through the story because the ending hits very hard and very fast out of seemingly nowhere. Once you see it, you'll lose most of your motivation to keep going.

...

Create instead of consume. Playing games is pure consumption. You could even MAKE a game. Or start learning to draw. Or music. Or focus on your career. Or fucking anything. Good luck

...

It's easy, get another hobby and stop playing vidya for at least a month. Once you come back to it either you'll like it again or will drop it altogether and hopefully actually make something of yourself.

(1)

I personally came to the point where I basically played all good games that interest me and even some that don't, and then some shit games too. The only way to break out of that is playing a new and good game but it's been a few years since the last one came out.

Try Galactic conquest in Battlefront2

Later niggas, cya tomorrow :-)

Turn your internet off. Problem solved.

Go play EDF4.1
If that doesn't do it then nothing will

I refuse to believe this works.

Try playing something you don't like.
I never liked RO renewal but I gave NovaRO a try after seeing an user shilling it, and I find myself making a bunch of characters in the span of 2 weeks.

It works.
That is, if you don't get shot by cops. Suicide by cops.
If you're faking it, like a faggot, you won't get shot. But I will. For being a shitter.

Wait, are you indian?

Poo in the loo?
Nah.
If I would to shit in the streets in America, I'd get shot.

I need this but longer
pls

Google 'anhedonia', what it is and how it is usually treated. Try some exposure to direct sunlight and physical exercise first, making sure you aren't malnourished too. For example excessive fapping depletes your body's zinc reserves. Go for more variety in the games you play, don't grind the same few titles for weeks.

Play Minecraft with technical mods.
It will be good for your autism.

Sorry, don't have any editing software besides gimp, but may be this could help

...

Maybe you could not fuck everything in sight?
Then It won't ever rape, and you won't get STDs
You degenerate whore…

Ok, OP. Come play For Honor.
Network foibles at the moment, but they improve everything each patch. New characters and maps coming out in a week or so.

The combat is just so good. I play AI, because not only is it a decent substitute, the AI is often better at the game than a fair chunk of players.

Pledge yourself to knights, play knights as your main, and DEUS VULT

y u lyin user?

videogames are just a mean to have fun. If you are burnt out do other things besides videogames. Read a book, do a 500 pieces jigsaw, watch cartoons, read comics, play sports. If you block yourself to 'not have any fun unless it's videogames' you are going to get burnt out.

Play vidya you like. Ignore vidya you don't like.

Play the best- old and new.

Emulate the best of old.

Bayonetta and it's sequel were good, I've heard great things about Nier.

Thanks user, definitely saving the first for my cute folder, second one just makes me want to hear to rest of the song

Don't. Video games are a waste of time.

Get out more.
It's kinda like masturbation - over time you need more and more fucked up shit to make you feel better about doing it.

Get into reading, something about mysticism is always engrossing. Don't fall for the Holla Forums shit either. Joseph Campbell has incredible material as do many early Judaeo-Christian mystics

Shantae & the Pirate's Curse for fun.
Subnautica for a little autism.
