i just started playing if my heart had wings

is doki doki literature club the dark souls of visual novels?

Congratulations. You've burned out. It's all downhill from here. You might have a chance if you take up a new hobby, but if you're working you're fucked. t. someone who's been burned out for 3 years now

Welcome to the club.

it only gets worse, I've started to get anxiety attacks when I go to play games

...

...

Just play them one at a time user. Do seasonal specials, play what you feel like, and if you don't feel like anything then write down six games and roll a die. You've got all the games, now your goal should be beating them all.

Worst case scenario you'll have games for when you actually are an old fuck and need to retire.

no it's just pretentious garbage

99% of games are shit. If you have that many games in your library it's very likely that most of them are shit. You're just hoarding shit basically. Delete everything except the handful you genuinely like.

Humans like to make choices, but only if the options are limited and the decision is easy to make. Once you have too much to choose from, you lose confidence in your ability to select the right thing to spend your time with. Time is a finite resource, you might be having fun with game X, but it's hard to stop yourself from wondering if you could be having MORE fun with game Y, or Z, or A, B, C, D, E, etc. You doubt yourself. You lock up, unable to decide any longer.

An interesting solution you could try is to take away your ability to decide. Let the games you play be chosen some other way. Play them alphabetically, or chronologically, or chosen via random number generator. Let your friend choose what to play, or if you have a following on social media/streaming let your audience decide.

Why do you think the "flavor of the month" phenomena exists? Because the collective has decided for you what is worth spending your time on, and usually it works out well. I never would have touched Ace of Spades for example if Holla Forums hadn't been playing the fuck out of it.

I wish I could've found a mostly /hikki/ job

In painting there's an ancient saying I'll paraphrase: "The larger the canvas the shittier the quality of work." Has something to do with confinement driving true creativity.

I heard that if you do other things, or in my case get a REAL job, you might get some of that enthusiasm back.

I remember when i used to play games on the 360 and everything was great. Duke Nukem Forever, Mass Effect 3, it didn't matter.

>>>/suicide/

user, you don't have to play them. Games shouldn't be forced. They're a medium of entertainment.
Downloading every game for those old consoles with the objective of playing all of them is a quest to futility. Play the ones you think are fun.

Do things you think are fun.

There are always turn based games though. It will be sad to not be as good at shooters. Still, who knows, maybe if you keep playing games and working at it you can keep relatively sharp reflexes. Our generation are kind of canaries down the coal mine on heavy vidya's effect in the elder years. I wouldn't be surprised if the more hardcore gamers among us end up quicker on the draw than previous generations, though we'll probably have other health problems related to how lazy we are.

Honestly, force yourself to choose one and play it. Faffing about only makes you more miserable.

I think it just goes to show that you can't really do things solely by virtue of it being possible for you to do those things. You have to actually have some passion going. Is there anything you can think of that just fires you up for some vidya, OP?

Well, yeah. Console!X-COM is shit. Have you played (Open)X-COM?

vidya is like porn
you feel like it after you open it

Take up woodcarving, pleb.

...

I recommend having a secondary hobby. Intoxicants help too.

Eh, I've had those moments. Just do something else besides vidya, and the desire will come back for it soon or eventually.

This is a good post.

same here. I really wish I had a job where I could go full /hikki/. I hate having to leave the house, drive 20~30 minutes, and work 6~9 hours for chump change. Maybe I should just take up drawing. Quite a few artists seem to make pretty good money with commissions on tumblr (mainly lewd artists, of course).

I was. One part of my solution for restoring my interest in video games was to stop playing games myself and watch other people play them instead, i.e. Let's Plays. The other part of my solution was to start making games. Ideally my own games through an engine, but games with easy to use content editors also work.

I cannot say why this works for me or how I got to this solution. I suddenly decided to make the change one day, and the change just clicked.

How I go about it:
That last one will save you HUNDREDS of hours when it comes to having to restart RPGs. Just write a short plot synopsis so far, your current goal in the game, any relevant info you're going to need, and put it in the game's case.

More importantly, do not let yourself feel pressured to play every single game you own on Steam, more than likely you bought a bundle during a sale and never actually planned on playing 3/4ths of them anyway. Play what you want.

As far as /vr/ games go, consider checking out a Holla Forums recs thread or infographic, check out a MUH HIDDUN GEMS video or something. See if something interests you. For example I got into Shining Force because of a rec thread, and it's great.

The ultimate good goy.

Hate to say it, but furfags will pay out the fucking nose for art. If you can stomach drawing it, you can get stupid amounts of money.

How fucking normalfag are you?

Time to start learning, and engaging more in the real world. Pick a topic you feel is important to know about, and learn everything you can till you are satisfied, then move on to the next. Existence is infinite, there's no shortage of new things to learn.

Fulfillment comes from discovering truth. Ask yourself "Is there anything I don't know about video games?". When I ask myself that question the answer is "no". There is no discovery in video games for me anymore, so I spend my time on other endeavors. This doesn't mean you can never enjoy a game again, but obviously new experiences have dried up for you, and it's time to move on to another primary hobby.

Ye're just growing up, girl.

NORMALFAGS GET OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT

You are the one who's normal, user. It's being a degenerate leftist that's not. They taught you to call yourself a nigger, don't do it.

My litmus test for video games is porn. If I start getting horny and thinking about fapping, the game must be boring. If I'm so immersed that I go entire days without fapping then the game is pretty good.

I wouldn't call myself an outstanding adult, but that list is full of shit.
What's stopping someone from genuinely enjoying games and having a regular life when they're over 20?

Watch vid related, user.

Worries, responsibilities, and exhaustion nipping at your heals. That's not to say that you can't, but it can be distracting.

I have a 9-5 salary job that pays me more money than I know what to do with, and zero college debt. I have no worries about financial security, whether or not I'll be able to afford food or rent or gas. I'm responsible for getting projects done at work, but the work I do lets me go home and put it out of my mind until the next day. I religiously get 8 hours of sleep every night and eat food that is, if not the most healthy or diverse, home cooked – which results in me not being exhausted. I've abandoned 3DPD women for the love that can only be found in 2D, and suffer no loneliness or depression.

When I go home I fire up my high end gaming PC and play old strategy games or PS3 ports, not because everybody else is playing them but because they're fun and I derive enjoyment from them.

Still have all the choice, but none of the feeling of soullessness and so few shitty games. This is the best.

Factorio, Terraria, and Tropico IV are the only reasons why I even bother getting on anymore. I need a better pc and a wagecuck job that doesn't suck the very soul out of me

...

This user has the right idea right here, right now I'm going through Witcher 3 and I like doing all the quests so whenever I play a game, I pirate a shitty one off shit like cod or dead island.
It's a lot easier if the game can't be done with minimum attention span and if you have a playlist of songs or an album you've been wanting to listen for a while.

If the game can be done*

It's also possible to just overdose on video games completely, at which point you can throw in some anime and manga to spice things up.

This is going to sound like the gayest thing in the universe, but I found that watching let's plays and those long form autistic analysis videos like matthewmatosis motivates me to play vidya. For example I wanted to finish Deadly Premonition but I couldn't get myself to actually play it since the game is so long and clunky, but then TBF started doing a let's play of it and I started progressing through the game before watching each episode until I finished it and did all the sidequests and stuff.

… no, I am not at this point, OP.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Well said anons, but the infographics comprises that case too.

Is it really more choice though?
What was the last game that was actually really different instead of a combination of systems you're already familiar with?

>>>/bbbb/

Yes, I've had this problem for the past 3 years. I can only play some games and most of it is OK games. I just finished Knack 2 and thought about going with another platformer, they are usually easy games and no worries.
But instead I started to watch old reviews from youtube, and wanting a simpler time.

I made a list of games to play during Halloween and I think by narrowing things down like that it really helped motivate me to play them. Try going through your backlog and making a list of games in a genre you are currently interested in and seperate it according to system, then when you finish one put an X after it. Not sure if this will help but it worked really well for me.

Genuine suggestion.
Draw shit for furries. The ones that can't draw and pay for commissions are fucking doctors and engineers and have a retarded amount of money

you gotta militantly make do with what you got
*start with what like 10 of what you think is best(mix genres to make sure its all different)
*pick from them no matter what, because theres nothing else to do

then switch like half after finishing one to pick next

When I hit the burnout from video games, I went out and found a pretty decent job and started expending the energy I used on Vidya into it. I now only play video a handful of hours a month and my bank account is swelling. Feels bretty gud.

You might end up with nephews, pretty much the same shit.

...

God, yet another thread of faggots bemoaning being unable to play video games.


Get the fuck over yourselves and a get a job or a hobby and read some fucking literature on how to self-actualize rather than stunting yourself emotionally and intellectually through video games.

Did you just come to Holla Forums to denounce us ?

No, I come to Holla Forums to talk about video games, not see a bunch of autistic NEETs pat each other on the back about how hard it must be to play all these video games.

The best you can do is just try to keep them from becoming vidya plebs by showing them the games you used to play when you were young

The thing that's helped me is just distancing yourself for a little bit. Over last fall and winter I got really burnt out from gaming, I would never know what to play despite having hundreds of games spanning over several consoles and PC. Whenever I would pick up something to play, I would never stick with it, even old classics that I love. Then I started working a job in the spring that is around 12 hours a day monday to friday, so I've had no time for games at all except on weekends. Now, I'm excited whenever I get a chance to play for a few hours, and it seems that the amount of games that I actually beat has gone up despite having less time to play games.

And when I say distance yourself, I mean from gaming as a whole, and especially this place. It seems like any time I look at gaming news at all, or spend too much time on Holla Forums I just feel physically exhausted and depressed.

It also helps to have other hobbies, I find. Also I'm not sure if it applies or not, but you may want to take a look at your lifestyle as a whole, just being more active and eating better can really do a lot for a persons mental state.

You could teach him how to read.

It's true. A great game can distract me from fapping for a few weeks.

eerily simmilar to me.
Although half my sidegames are hentai with little to no gameplay

...

I stopped playing games because I can't come up with a username I like. Yes I'm serious.

...

check my 1

I know what I want to play but I just get mad at everything now. I've seen too much, I know things about game design and the industry that prevent me from enjoying games. I'll see stupid UI choices a first year graphic design student could have made better, or glitches that are obviously caused by a certain thing that's really easy to fix and they should have known better. And when I'm not being pissed off by bad design, it's all the political bullshit shoehorned in where it doesn't belong. I hate that I feel compelled to do background checks on all my potential game experiences, to make sure I'm not being fed leftist propaganda before I play it. Even older stuff that was mostly innocent, I've started identifying things that would trigger Holla Forums and the gamergate threads, things that I wonder if they affected me at a young age.
And that's just singleplayer games- when I play multiplayer my rage is directed at other players, bad netcode, weak map design, weapon balances that were clearly designed for a different game mode and then the one I'm playing was an afterthought, etc.
I'm just pissed off all the time, everything makes me mad for some reason or another. And that's making me depressed, that my sources of escapism from this shit world are also the source of my ire. I kind of want to become a normalfag and drink myself stupid so I can have blissful ignorance again, but every time I try socializing I remember how much I hate them and why I locked myself away in the first place.
The last thing I played was the Splatfest yesterday and I became absolutely blood-boiling livid when I was carrying my team, topping the leaderboard in both kills and ink coverage, keeping the entire enemy team occupied by myself so my mates were free to ink the map, and we still fucking lost because they were jacking off back at spawn painting every spare millimeter of shit that was already our color. I threw my joycon across the room and shook something loose inside, then got mad at the build quality of the joycon.

When people in public try to make small talk, it makes me mad.
When someone tries to spout their uneducated opinion on politics at me when nobody goddamn asked, it makes me mad.
When I go to the grocery store and the woman in front of me in line stands there fucking around with her backpack-sized purse for an entire minute after she's gotten her change back, it makes me mad.
When I'm driving and I pass a cop, the reminder of their existence makes me mad that I can't drive as fast as I want to let off some steam because one of those stupid cocksuckers will give me a ticket for it.
When my coworkers quote Dick & Sharty it makes me mad that they aren't able to identify the massive nosedive in quality the show took between season 2 and 3.
When I see people buy Pop figures I want to chain them to my bumper by their eye sockets and drag them over spike strips.

I am anger. The only other emotion I feel is occasional sadness, triggered by introspection and the realization that things that should cause happiness give me the opposite, which quickly turns into anger again. I haven't even had a good dream in years. Either it's nothing, or nightmares where I'm furious about something.

Why is Captain Falcon looking at a Geocities page?

...

I'm really bad at picking names and get self-conscious about how bad they are but c'mon son just use whatever and get on with it. I try to skip all dialogue as much as possible anyhow. I just want to play the fucking game.

Really? What kind of games did you play to get that?

By "nothing" I meant a lack of dreams

I feel ya user. I sort of gave in to just riding the Status Quo until I can't no more. If I'm gonna be pissed at lots of shit I'd rather be pissed at lots of shit with money.

I battle this problem by installing only a handful of games with different genres to easily swtich when bored.
I also install games I know nothing about to try and get my own opinion on them. It works pretty well and even after work im looking forward to play a few hours. Right now Im hooked on FUEL and occasionally switch to Asscreed Syndicate or No one lives Forever. Keeps me interested in all games until I finish them.

I always want to play vidya but a few minutes after I started a game I end up quitting it. I have depression and for a long time vidya helped me think about something else but I've noticed recently that it might not work anymore

s…same

Just to add: I have over 4TB worth of games and keeping the list Short makes me motivated to play. Orherwise it sucks to just look at a giant library and think how much is in front of you.

Auschwitz, Stutthof, Treblinka. I use these in MMOs.

It doesn't matter what the name is. I'll always get tired of it eventually.

I noticed that most "normal" people don't actually care what anyone else says, they just like to hear themselves talk. Most conversation with them is completely pointless. I just smile, nod my head and fake laugh whenever they make a joke, they're basically talking to a brick wall and are too fucking stupid to realize it.


Reminds me of the other day when someone in line at the grocery store was shrieking about Trump and how they should expose his tax returns, despite the fact that they had been uncovered by Maddow several months earlier and he wasn't up to any shady shit. What a dumb cunt. Every time a white woman tries to talk about politics, even when they have similar views to mine, it's always retarded and I get second hand embarrassement as a result.

Ride the tiger, user. The grand garden that this world is has overgrown with weeds, it is infested with parasites and being demolished by chaos, but you have your own small corner of that garden. Take care of it. It is better to be the master of a small, but well tended garden, than to be the owner of a giant, overgrown jungle. They are both the same thing, anyway.

You seek meaning and wisdom of the grail. Eventually, you will find it, but the path to it is long and rife with challenges.

It's alright user.

Steam makes me think that there is a "backlog" that I must "clear" before I can "move on," and the backlog never ends because it's always expanding or at a standstill because of new purchases. I don't get this outside of Steam, and I don't remember people complaining about this stuff before Steam. Something about Steam is a problem.

Besides Steam I've got GoG, PS3, Vita, GameCube, freeware, doujin and emulator games stockpiled, but I just keep staring at my Steam library and only occasionally getting inspired to play something. I recently made an exception with Call of Chernobyl but even then it felt a little like I was wasting my time because I wasn't progressing through my backlog.

why are you even here then

I keep going back to this "escape plan" in my head, which consists of condensing everything I (used to) love and everything I absolutely need, into my station wagon, and just leaving. I don't know where, anywhere but here. It's an old one so the back is big enough for a twin mattress and I could literally live inside it if I absolutely had to. I'd have all the basic shit you'd take on a camping trip, only the things you need for surviving, plus some tools for maintenance on the car. What doesn't have a nice spot inside the car could easily go on the roof rack. The vehicle is longer than modern minivans. For money I'd just do odd jobs from the local craigslist when I need gas and food, plus I'd have a large sum to start with from selling everything I'm not taking with me.

The things stopping me are
1. the car needs an engine swap that's going extremely slowly because I'm lazy, but I already have the parts
2. I can't commit to the idea because I haven't decided whether I'd bring vidya and waifu figs with me. I physically COULD, I could mount my PC in the passenger seat and have the monitor flip down from the ceiling, and power everything from the engine. The car has secret compartments I could store my valuables in. But the whole point is getting away from everything that's been affecting my mood, and going somewhere else to start fresh, or maybe never settling down at all. Being on the internet/having a PC is just an extension of the society that's been pissing me off. It's all the same shit now. I can't figure out if I need to completely abandon hobbies that don't improve my life in any measurable way, or just live a harder life that makes me appreciate them more.


Because despite the memes about how everyone's an intolerable shitposter, you can at least reason with people here and they'll display a modicum of critical thinking skills.

...

Don't bring them physically with you. Carry them in your heart. Their physical form is what causes you this pain in the first place, for they cannot really match up to the ideal. So leave them behind. The journey with little to nothing out there to seek your path is a good idea - if little else, it will remind you how little you truly need to feel content in this world, how many of the things we crave (are bombarded by the jew to desire) we do not actually need. Getting out there innawoods, trekking for a long distance in rain, then getting to a simple roof over your head to have a warm meal is such a surreal, yet pleasant experience for it shows just how little we need to feel happiness.

But do not think of things you need to abandon. By doing this, you give those things power over you. Rather, simply find things that take your time away from those things that you feel hinder you. Do not spend your time and energy stopping yourself from doing something, instead devote that time and energy in doing something that you want to do instead of them. Not only is it more natural, but it also makes changing your habits much easier - by being plunged into a new reality you simply have no time or ability to get to your old ones, and thus you seek something new. In doing so, you'll rediscover something about yourself that will help you to enjoy the things you feel angry about now.

After all, it is not the fault of the normalfags that they're the way they are. It is simply their nature, there's no changing it and there's nothing strictly wrong with it either. In fact, you get mad because you see they could be something more, but waste it. It is a shame, but how else will they learn? Things need to get a little bit worse, before normalfags realize it can't keep going on like this and agree to make things better, that's just how it is, and it is true in all things.

In short, go for it user. Sounds like you've got it all figured out, even the key's already in the ignition. Turn it and rediscover the joy of novity.

That's a description of my life.

You don't need to eat up games Steam recommends and treat them as a backlog you must clear, retard.

For those guys on complete burnout. Do you guys have any other hobbies or personal projects besides videogames (making gains don't count). Do you guys go out to town events, seminars, etc? I get the impression that you guys video games everyday and nothing else and of course you guys are going to burn out fast and have a loss in what else to do in their life.

Putting a name on it doesn't make it any easier to change it, you know.

I've evolved to crave something that involves projects and tight knit cozy little communities that isn't a skinnerbox shitfest like any MMO. tfw trying to find online friends after over a decade of avoiding it.
Any recommendations?

Imagine if we had a Seal of Quality on Steam and all of the shovelware got filtered out, and the good developers actually had to start giving a shit again in order to get their Seal of Quality for each title.

It just might Make Gaming Great Again.

Wasn't that just for selling more than a million copies? Or was that a different sticker?

You're thinking of the Player's Choice ribbon, though now they use Nintendo Selects.

The Seal of Quality was more of a means of claiming the game was official and made deals with Nintendo, since they were limiting the amount of games released Stateside to not have another glut overload of titles pushed out during the Atari generation. Aside from anti-trust issues with the Seal of Quality at first (which Nintendo was hit with and had to back down from), the quality control was more that the game could actually run and not fry your system moreso than any quality of gameplay standard, which is more than can be said of any app store.

Nintendo selects are just the ones they choose to sell for $20 because everyone who wanted it at full price already bought it.

How comforting it is to have tired of one's appetites and to be done with them!

I basically only play fighting games at this point since full games are 5mins at most so I don't have to worry about huge time sinking when playing online. Training mode is as long as I really feel like practicing stuff and there's no worry about losing progress from not getting to a checkpoint since I'm just improving my skill at the game. All the big RPGs and story driven games I can't play anymore since I feel like they're too much of an investment at any one time. The souls games are like that too for me due to the nature of the saving, I can just keep progressing and quit out when I need too (outside of a boss fight obviously) and most of the game is just skill based anyway. I don't need the best stuff or high stats if I'm good enough.
I always say next time I have a free weekend I'll just sperg out on some big game but I never do, I don't think I can handle them at this point. NieR Automata was the last big rpg I dumped a fuck load of time into and that was back in Feburary when it came out on JP PSN.

The fuck is this? It's just blogposting and meta discussion. Shut the thread down faggots.

More pelase.

S-sauce.

Using TinEye I only got one match, but at least it has nips and hips.

Jesus christ please tell me there's more.

Fake nips anyway, she wore some fake set of boobs to make them bigger. I'm not complaining though since she's cosplaying a robot, may as well be extra fake.

Good choice, that's my personal favorite VN, despite the translation errors. Did you apply the restoration patch?

Well, RIP boner.

He's older than ten isn't he?

I go through this to user, but you also made me laugh.

What a loser

He means he can't read the text on your shitty 30x24 resolution DS. You should be arrested for child abuse, making a kid play that trash.

Face looks too cartoony. Too freaky for me to fap to

Does she have any pictures without the fake boobs

Boobs are gross, but the face is good.

Face is good, the nipples are too perky but I'm not minding the fake boobs much,
post/link more

Delete everything on your hard drive and only play games you only have a physical copy of.

t.buyfag

no real nipples unfortunately. I have to give props to setting up a way to sell "nudes" without the nude part though.

Do you look at doujinshi?

It's time to start doing different things with your spare time. An overabundance has made vidya much less valuable to you.

anxiety comes from the thought of wasting hours playing a game only to realize i could be using it to create something/learn new skills in real life.


lewd lolis also make me happy. pic related

Surprisingly relatable

Decision paralysis is a very common problem for a lot of people. The more choices you have, the more likely you are to regret a choice, too. Because you make a choice, and then later on you wonder if you should have chosen something different.

Human beings like to think that more choice makes them happier, but it's the opposite. You can more resolutely make a choice with less options, more options makes it harder to make a choice.

You're brain needs downtime, user. You can build up a tolerance to your own neuro-chemicals. learn to meditate get away from shit from time to time, go swimming, go hiking, go camping try no-fap, no-porn for a while

Video games and it's communities are dead.

looks much better.

for me its the thought of how I will never again be happy kid/teen playing games. like that guy said I now see all those tricks that devs pull.

underrated post

The best part about this is that they'll fucking love you for it and tell everyone else what a great guy you are. All you have to do is feed their delusion that they're important or that their opinions matter.

I've found that one of the most frustrating things in the world are people who have reached the same conclusions as me, but have done so with completely wrong reasoning

I went through a period where I wanted to do this too. It's really tempting just to leave everything behind, go over the horizon and just completely check out. I resisted this temptation and instead found some new hobbies. I still get that wanderlust every once in a while but I've got other things to keep me grounded now.

its not pretentious its tongue in cheek. It's not making a grand statement

You're me, except I've replaced anger with exasperation.

Wolfenstein, all the stupid pay-to-win bullshit, paid mods, incredibly shitty design, intentional slowing down of player advancement for no good reason, shitty teammates, lame choices, decent games ruined by several of the above… I just facepalm, now. I don't get angry at anything anymore, not even the real-world concerns, not even at the masses of people who have replaced real-world concerns with Hollywood shit because they're just that fucking retarded. I'm just waiting for some technological transhumanizing genetic revolution or some ultrapowerful AI to come out of the woodwork and either fix things or simply burn the world.

The last game I actually cared about, as opposed to playing it because it's there and I need something to do, was Undertale

Watch more Jordan Peterson user. He'll help you get your life sorted out.

This a thousand times, also when people walking in front of you stop dead suddenly to look at their phone. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR TWATTER POST JUST MOVE OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY!

Also, add to that the fact that I literally cannot remember the good times very well.

I had a lot of games growing up. Commodore 64, Mail Order Monsters, I loved that despite the incredible load times. Sonic games, Mortal Kombat, Game Gear, Lynx… I remember playing them, and I recollect vague scraps of enjoyment, but…

There's almost nothing left at all. I hated my childhood. I played games to escape it.

I remember kicking ass in Planetside 2 before lattice turned that game to shit, and I can still somewhat recall all the gloating I did when taking whole continents singlehandedly. I remember Defiance before it went to shit.

Still… nothing.

This is a symptom of severe depression, isn't it?

You have finally outgrown the;
mentality.

The Jews bread and circus across the board is failing, just pick up other hobbies.

One of these days my patience will run out and I'll do more than roughly pull off their shitty trolleys from under then elbows with a sarcastic "excuse me" to get the shit I need. Women were a mistake, chink women who stop in the middle of the street to check their shitty phone were a mistake, normalfags were a mistake.

It's not even just games. I just want to sleep all day and do nothing else.
