Burn outs

Have you guys ever had burn outs where you don't feel like playing anything? If so what do you do to regain motivation to play again?

Yes. I watch anime or read mango when i dont feel like playing vidya.

I just clean my house or practice my guitar

Yes, I either don't play for awhile or mod the shit out of something to make it a new genre I have never played.

I go to a different genre
If I play something fast paced then I switch to something slower and so forth

Do other shit

The reason you feel burnt out is because you're spending too much time infront of technology. You have to do other shit.

The brain wants variety and it craves it a lot. If you keep doing the same thing every day you shouldn't be surprised it doesn't satisfy you anymore.

Like, go for a walk or something. Go to a gym. Go ride a bike. Then you'll notice after a few days the desire to play some vidya comes back.

Yes, right now actually. It's so bad I feel like working.
My plan is to start the remastered version of Odinsphere. That should give me my mojo back.

I shitpost and ask on imageboards what I could do other than vidya and movies to kill time, just like you
Somehow I get by

I'll try that.

I just want to know how to get get motivated for doing stuff like learning how to make games, or even draw.

Do the above and also make a schedule

The reason you lose motivation is because you start stopping. Meaning you start, and then you stop, and then you find reasons to not continue. Like you decide to put stuff off at a later date a lot.

What you should do is setup a schedule. Like say "okay I'll read up on programming for an hour every Tuesday at 5". Or "I'll draw something between 5 and 7 on Sundays".

This creates a pattern in your head and you'll find yourself doing it for the sake of doing the pattern.

That's what I'd suggest. There's numerous other ways to motivate yourself but keeping a schedule is the way I've found most consistent.

Videogames should be something you do when you feel like it.
It shouldn't be a habit, an addiction.
Do other shit, and when you remember the games you were playing while doing stuff, go play again.

its not that im on a burnout, its that every game that i haven't played yet fucking sucks

You don't need games to survive.
It might sound naive, but socializing is always a good idea to keep you from being depressed & from slowly drifting into madness

Play good games

...

I watch pro wrestling as my other hobby, I write, and I work out.

Cooking helps too.

You need more than one hobby, man.

I honestly want to start small learn how to plan things out first, because I almost never kept to a schedule in my life. I would just do things when I feel like them, which is a horrible idea in hindsight.

without dying without saving without killing knock out everyone in deus ex 1

it's fucking impossible

I like how normalfagville looks a happy and peaceful place
But no really, people that shut themselves in develop social autism over time

Yes.
Start a game and start playing. Find out I enjoy it a lot anyway.

Now delete your shitty metathread.

I guess I'll go and get a job and try to get fit then.

I'm actually feeling like that but not really.
At the moment, I'm trying to do 3 things at the same time
Whenever I start one I feel like I'm neglecting the others, so in the end I just shitpost all day and don't do shit.

You don't even need to get /fit/ just do other shit.

I brought up exercise because almost any therapist will tell you that if you exercise semi-regularly your mood will drastically improve. It's something the human body wants and something human beings thousands of years ago did on a near constant basis all day.

normalfags dont belong here, get out already, you belong on reddit and gamefaqs.

I lift and I'm still an autistic retard, and a mix of Holla Forums and /fit/ made me turn kinda gay.
Am I a normalfag to you?

I'm not a normalfag. I can't even start and keep a conversation going with strangers so I'm pretty fucking autistic.

It took me 5+ years just for me to look like a normalfag, let alone fixing my shit.
Your insults are a compliment to me.

I've been feeling this way for awhile, sadly.
I haven't felt like playing anything, and my backlog just keeps getting larger.
All I do is browse Holla Forums and hate myself.
I used to love playing vidya but now all I want to do is make friends and try to have a social life.
I'm a decently attractive person and I can be pretty social but I live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, and I don't want to be friends with the unwashed masses I.E, country bumpkins. I want some friends who are just as autistic and weird as I am. I also desperately want a QT trap to be my butt slave.
I think I'm a normalfag in denial.

I haven't played vidya in 5 years

It's funny because people throw the word "normalfag" around a lot. If people on here stayed up until 4 a.m. EST, they'd see how much of a normalfag they really are.
All the weirdo's come out of the woodwork around that time.

I actually found someone like this, you'd be surprised where.

Like, the 4 a.m. thread devolved into a flurry of Ritsu-posting last night. I actually felt pity for some of the people on here.
Some of the stuff you read truly feels like trolling/shitposting, but it's not. And that's pretty sad.

4am threads were the biggest normalfag and attentionwhore central ever allowed on Holla Forums last I checked.

In the middle of nowhere? Is there hope for me to find a /cuteboy/?
I actually want to be a tranny myself, and me desiring one if just me living my sick fantasy through somebody else. I actually really want to start hormone therapy, as I'm only 20 and I could still be cute for like, a decade, but I don't want my family to hate me and be disgusting by the time I'm 40.

I sold my desktop and consoles and now I just come here to make fun of games.

most games nowadays are so dumb that i rather not even try tem

I could be such a /cuteboy/, and I'm too afraid to be one. It makes me sad.
How would one go about by make-up and dresses without seeming like a fucking weirdo? Should I just say it's for my girlfriend?

on here, Holla Forums
You could just use Grindir or Kik by the way, but be wary of the HUGE risk of getting catfished/aids

>I actually want to be a tranny myself, and me desiring one if just me living my sick fantasy through somebody else
Please don't, you're 20 as you said, it'll only work by the time you're 30, and by then you're going to be old and busted due to aging already, then you'll kill yourself, don't dew it

I'm not going to, I just want to have a feminine benis and guzzle cum.
I wish I was a girl.

Good, please don't.
If you're okay with just doing online stuff I can fuck your ass bby ; )

kill yourself faggots

jesus christ, we cant have peace from this cancer anywhere

Fucking traps isn't gay, we already went over this a thousand times.

I could be your friend user, I have recently been making my multiplayer steam library bigger thanks to the sale.
Drop me a Skype or Steam and I'll add you.
I'm also cute but I'm very manly
I don't even know how it works but I had too many girls tell me to ignore it so I just roll with it

How about living your life until you feel like playing another game you fucking loser.

Go watch something like a TV show or an animu you can get invested and spend a lot of time in.

you fuck men wearing women clothes, you are probably gayer than gay

...

Wow, who'd guess

...

Sounds like you like traps user, give it up faggot your secret is out

I just fucked a trap a bunch of times, but that does not make me gay.
It's only gay if you suck a dick or get fucked in the ass, fucking traps is NOT gay

i wish I could bottle your complete and utter denile and sell it

Look at it this way:
Both Nabunaga Oda and Genghis Khan fucked femboys, it's completely normal to fuck traps, those two were manly as fuck and did it a lot, and so did every single emperor of Rome for that matter.
Were they gay?No.
Am I gay for fucking traps just like they did?No.

Just because you're a fag doesn't mean you can't fuck women.. They were probably all faggots who fucked women to propogate their line.

No dude, you don't get it.
I'm not attracted to man, I don't like other guy's penises.
You're the one in denial here, saying that traps are gay is like saying that anal sex is gay even when performed with a women(or what is pretty much one anyways).

pretty much a woman is a man you gigafaggot

It looks like a woman, it dresses like a woman, it has anal sex like a woman.
It's pretty much a woman, as long as you don't get fucked it can't be gay.

if it looks like a woman and has a dick, you're fucking a dude *you* *are* *gay*

Nigger, I'm not touching the dick, I'm not sucking the dick, I'm not even looking at it.
I'm just fucking the trap in the ass and letting it suck me a bit, where's the gay in that?
Is fucking a women in the ass gay?Are blowjobs gay?

it is if you let a dude suck your dick

Alright, but what if I just fuck the trap's ass?

the ancient romans did that and it wasn't considered gay unless you were the one taking the dick

Yep, that's 100% right.
Fucking traps just can't be gay, at all.
I do it and I'm not gay.

you're both faggots, why don't you fuck each other?

This implies that at one point I'd get fucked, and this would be gay.
Fucking a trap isn't though, because no dicks get near my ass/mouth, do you get it now?

your dick is near a mans asshole which is inches away from his dick and balls, you're gay brah

...

This. If you overstimulate yourself you'll become numb to everything.

You probably wake up to your phone, spend most of the day on your PC, then fall asleep watching Youtube videos. That shit isn't healthy. Your brain needs some time to reset, even if it's just a walk or a shower or lying in bed with your thoughts for a bit.

Get a room already.

user just likes to put his dick into cuteness.

I just want him to admit his faggotry

I look at porn when I don't feel like playing video games.

I get porn burnouts too.

Life really does suck when you have no gf.

I'm not a fag though, so good luck with that.

Yes, it's called growing up. It happened when I was 16, personally. Very few games are worth wasting your time on.

sure buddy

the brain is not the boss, it will adapt or it will wither

It is gay, though.

Fucking faggots I swear

Proof?

Pretty much this, but with everything.
How do you fags get the motivation to get out of bed every morning?
It's been getting increasingly difficult.

Try playing something you haven't played a billion times before. Don't get caught on hype trains.

Or maybe do something else. I spent a year as a NEET and I quickly "burnt out" on video games. Basically because it was the only thing I had to do. It wasn't a treat anymore and it wasn't something to look forward to when another obligation was done.

Also, try turning the autism off. I see plenty of people being crazily angry and unsatisfied with a game for the most nitpicky of reasons. This happens a lot here, actually.

Maybe you should try getting a job.

pain from hunger
that is all

You get burnout even of sex when you do it often enough.
The truth is humans are supposed to suffer in order to enjoy pleasure.
So do something painful, possibly that brings results, like working out, studying or working.
That makes vidya waaaay better

if we cant defeat instincts and chemical drives how can we call ourselves alive

I usually cook.
Then maybe read something.
After that It's usually easy to get back into a mood for vidya.

Hello friend, I would like to be your friend.
steamcommunity.com/id/paint_netHack/

...

Maybe. Find my other post with my Steam profile.

Yeah, I know. I have some guy on my friends list who thinks he's funny and always says cringe-worthy shit.

Do you only use steam fam?I hate that botnet bloated shit.
You mind if we arrange to use something else later?

Why defeating instincts when following them makes us feel good?
Going the other way than instincts should only ever be done for the sake of integrity and order, or the sake of yourself.

Perhaps. I didn't expect things to escalate so quickly.

What a gay thread

To be honest I'm still unsure if I want to do this, I'm thinking a bit.
I actually have someone else at the moment, but he said that he doesn't mind if I fug others as long as I have enough cum left for him

You have depression, user. Seek help or a bullet to the head.

Thanks for the diagnosis doc

Too much of a pussy to go through with it tho, might as well die the slow way.

Are you also a NEET?

I usually just play Burnout whenever I am experiencing burnouts.

im all for feeling good, but instincts also lead us to do stupid shit some times. like giving in to peer pressure, dismissing something before understanding it or having kids

No, I go to college and have a job

Parents want me to be a doctor.

Yes, after I got a job and I now have 2 and a half hours a day of spare time.
Also, after spending the whole day clicking in front of a PC, I can't bring myself to turn on my own machine anymore.

I… I only play vidya during the weekends now.

[spoilers]No worries, I'm a timid faggot myself and haven't done any roleplaying online. I'd probably be weird and not know what to say if I tried.[/spoilers]

Not like I wanted to chat or anything you BAKA

Oh my goodness, how embarrassing

>roleplaying
I don't do that actually, I was more talking about type-fucking while we masturbate you know?

Oh, of course. Fucking kill me.
spoilerspoilerspoiler

...

I know what you mean, I just wasn't sure what to call it other than "type-fucking while we masturbate".

Yes. Once Holla Forums pilled me on how terrible games were, I couldn't play a single game for longer than 20 hours.

The most shocking thing? My second playthrough of MGSV made me love vidya again, and I've finally been going through my backlog. Having the time of my fucking life.

Learn to program.
Computers are the perfect friends. They don't fuck cheat on you, don't judge you and are reliable as fuck. They're just a bit dim witted, so you have to tell them what to do.
Start off with QBASIC in DOSBox, or a Speccy, C64 or Amiga emulator. If you don't like oldschool stuff start with Python, but watch out for the faggotry. There's also Racket, which is Holla Forums approved and really powerful, but it looks a bit weird.
Also get Human Resource Machine and TIS100.

Therapy and graduating from high school helped me. Also, moving out of my parents' house. I'm grateful to em for taking care of me but I was pretty surprised when I realized that they were complete cunts.

Don't listen to Holla Forums.
The Holla Forums hates games meme is real. There will always be as many people who hate games for one reason or another as people who like a game.

New games Holla Forums hates.
Indie games Holla Forums hates.
Did a developer once say or do something wrong? Hated by default forever.

I'm desperately trying to move away from my mother with my brother. The only problem is there's no work around here to make any money, and she's a cheap cunt even though she's committing massive amounts of tax fraud.

Do you like being the submissive one?Do you always act as the trap?
I just need to know those before I actually add you

I'm going through a bit of that right now

But that's the thing. When it comes to me, at least, Holla Forums is pretty much right every single time. Though I only see where they're coming from after my first playthrough of a game. I can't think of a single time in my case where they were wrong, barring a few exceptions. And trust me, I'm the last person to follow any sort of hivemind about something.

What they CAN be wrong about though are good games. Some of the shit suggested here is fucking awful.

Sucks dick, user. Only advice I can give is to just take it at your own pace. Just don't fuck with your health, that shit is permanent. Had a bad addiction to junk food and cigs during the worst times of my life, and now I have to work extra hard to eat right and shit or doctor says my heart is fucked.

No wonder you're fucking depressed.

Constantly, I either stop for a considerable amount of time, doing other things to pass time (read, watch movies/anime) or get slightly drunk so I can enjoy just about anything regardless of burn out.

There is no escaping my family

Only one of my siblings has permanently left, and he died.

The others who are older than me are staying here when they are not in medical school/doing rotations.
Oh and I have a 30 year old retarded NEET sister

i'd fuck the vegetarian feminist buddhist out of lisa

Can you introduce me to her?
:^)

Haha sent ;)

...

I had to restart Steam because my internet is running at 32Kb/s. Rural ISPs suck cock.

...

Hey fam, pls answer

I have no clue, I've never done this before.
I'd be a sub though.

I just kinda want to know if you'd want me to play as the trap and get fucked by you/suck your dick, since I don't do that at all

Nah, see Holla Forums is full of hipster autists. They can dig up some obscure gems but a good amount of the shit that is 10/10 goat here is completely unfun garbage.
Meanwhile fun games with a flaw or two are completely roasted.
The conclusion? Autists don't actually experience fun. They only get an approximation from engaging in "objectively good" things.

Can you give an example for each?

that's just the threads I can recall from the top of my head, in the past few days

let me guess, you gave 60 dollaridoos for the latest factory line AAA game, came here and everyone said it was shit, now you're buttblasted that it seems you wasted your money

If you burnout, then play burnout you retard

Right, come back to me when there is some actual 10/10 goat threads. The closest I've seen consistently is FEAR and Condemned.

not false.
depends what genre they're recommending
The only games I see that are completely roasted lately are Overwatch and DOOM, both of which deserve the hate especially considering how nobody can shut the fuck about them. ASSFAGGOTS too.

If anything, they don't apply their autism to EVERY type of AAA trash. Just look at how much the fags here ate up that new Zelda. Unbelievable.
To be fair, if I was around during the proper rise of vidya, hopeful to see what good gameplay on top of graphics could be accomplished in the future, only to find out that the industry would pretty much turn into
I'd be pretty pissed too.

Honestly, if the industry was just a bit more original on top of managing to challenge me and get me to have fun with a game for more than ten hours? As well as not having a community that loves walking sims, sports vidya, and esports garbage on top of casualized bullshit? I'd be more willing to accept DLCs and bullshit.

I spend 6 hours playing Civ 5
