When do you think you'll truly quit gaming?

>>712430483 (OP)
Im pretty sure gaming is the one thing keeping me from suicide right now.
Pathetic, but it is what it is.

>>712430483 (OP)
When I'm dead

When I die or get dementia so I can't do anything

>>712430483 (OP)

>>712430483 (OP)

>>712430483 (OP)
When I'm lining a paupers grave with the other invalids.

>>712430483 (OP)
If it ever becomes pay by the minute or something I guess. No reason to ever drop it otherwise.

>>712430483 (OP)
When I die

>>712430728
MMOs with subscriptions was always pay by the minute.

>>712430483 (OP)
If I lose a hand.

Give me 1 good reason to do so

I get up, go outside, drive around blasting the same song day after day in my mom’s car, maybe get some fast food, then I workout even tho I eat fast food, then I come home and do whatever the fuck idk anymore. Maybe, only maybe play a couple video games. The very sad thing is life can’t possibly get better than this, what’s the point in working for just a little bit more space and independence? I’m 26 btw lol.

that doesn't stop you trust me

Hey I'm 35 and I just want you to know it gets worse because eventually your body starts freaking out about you not having reproduced yet and all the loneliness you ignored starts taking over every waking moment of your life.

>>712430523
Same, it's the only hobby I've never gotten sick of because it's dynamic enough to constantly discover new stuff. I've dropped other lifetime hobbies like instruments and sports but never gaming, I'll play til I'm fucking dead.

you aren't supposed to tell the young people that you're supposed to let them actually believe the delusion that they prefer their own company

If you thought "damn, this would be more fun if I had some nagging whore with me" as a 20 year old, then obviously yes you'll start crying about not having that nagging whore years later

>>712431103
Hey im 40 and that hasnt happened to me yet.

>>712431103
>your body starts freaking out about you not having reproduced yet
Fuck dude that sounds like complete bullshit. That might be true for a woman, but for a man, you probably mean *mentally you start freaking out. This probably won’t happen to me, because I don’t plan on reproducing; I’m a bit of a faggot, but I did fall in love with a girl recently and it cost me a lot so idk I guess anything can happen but I don’t doubt you’re 100% right about it getting worse, I can only imagine.

>>712431318
You do know your brain is part of your body right?

I will not

>>712431405
A full body freakout about not having reproduced makes sense for a woman, but for a man it would be all mental.

Once i lose both of my arms and at least a leg.
That or when i simply start lacking the time to.

>>712431491
Going to ask you again anon, you do know your brain is part of your body right?

>>712431607
Mind-body dualism, bro. I don’t need to explain that, it’s middle school shit if not earlier.

>>712431607
You can just stop responding when you get BTFO, you know. You don't have to pretend that you meant "your mind starts freaking out about not reproducing" but said "your body starts freaking out"

I feel like if I have kids I might slow down, I dont want my kids to see my main hobby is vidya growing up, I'd prefer them to believe in something else, maybe I'll pretend I like golf so they think I'm ore outdoorsy than I am. That being said idk if I even want kids anymore, I'm a support worker and I like my job/paid pretty well but being a parent today seems like an uphill battle without a support network or social circle and that's for the normal kids, I've worked with *extremely* low functioning people and I'm not sure I could handle the gamble of having a kid. Will you get a 'normal one, will you get one who is textbook stereotypical autism (trains, dinosaurs, minecraft, sonic) who screams when things aren't "right", will you get a little monster who intentionally pisses off her siblings and/or fling her shit at them, or will you get an extremely low functioning non-verbal down syndrome child who is now 20 years old and the only aspirations left is the hope one day he'll maybe stop hitting women and children and maybe even stop shitting himself?

I can't help but think about if I became of the parents I help after doing support work, I do not envy their position.

I'll never quit gaming, but as I've gotten older I only like playing couch co-op or competitive games with friends. Single player games don't do it for me anymore. It's not about the games, it's about the people now.

>When do you think you'll truly quit gaming?
When i am dead.

i kinda already have honestly. at a certain age the novelty just goes away and you feel like youve seen it all. and if you do try a game youve never played before, new or old, it just doesnt have that spark anymore. for me this happened around 28 years old. gaming culture and industry is also at an all time low so theres very low motivation to care at the moment. something truly revolutionary would have to happen for that to change, i think

>>712430617
all of my friends who are dads tell me its the inverse where their desire to just chill the fuck out and game for a bit goes way up as they basically have zero time to play and they start valuing their gaming time way more.

Having kids isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I got one with obvious ADHD who never stops moving, he's 4 but you can already tell he's got it because he only stops moving when he's asleep. He's a pain in the ass because he's constantly jumping around and grabbing everything but on the other hand he never throws tantrums and isn't scared of anything. He will jump off the top of the play equipment on impulse, wrestle a big dog, or try to pick up a fucking huge spider because "it wanted to be picked up". He's like a baby Steve Irwin. Other kids seem kind of boring and lame in comparison
