Thread 713974535

Deep down you know that playing your video games is just a way to fill some emptiness:
>car games - to get the feeling of working on the sports car that you cannot afford and the garage of luxury vehicles that you will never buy
>strategy games - to feel in control
>management sims - to feel like you are building the business empire that you will never have
>building sims - to feel living in the nice city that you will never move to and owning the nice estates that you never will be able to own
>RPGs - to feel like you are having an adventurous life and are growing as a person

Maybe you should also dedicate time to pursue these in real life?

>>713974535 (OP)
yeah man I play FPS games to gun people down IRL

>>713974535 (OP)
>>strategy games - to feel in control
Second example and you're already phoning it in

>>713974651
I did not want to add that it's also used for We Wuzzin, because we can have a more mature conversation
>>713974603
Well, FPS games are just just an instant gratification rush that do not fall in a more specific real world example

>>713974535 (OP)
I play mech simulator, now what

>>713974535 (OP)
Zamn bro... I watched that tiktok too and its like... zamn bro videogames are like such a waste of time bro... like bro...

>>713975042
Please be serious. I am not watching tiktoks.
>>713974847
It's a bit of everything - the general FPS inst-gratification, the machine upgrades, the adventure seeking.

I am a gamer not because I have no life - but because I have many

>>713974535 (OP)
What if I play action games, beat em ups, fps and stealth

>>713975383
>action games
Desire for action in your loser life
>beat em ups
Desire to be strong instead of a fat loser
>fps
School shooter
>and stealth
Desire not to be seen in your loser state

>>713975383
>beat em up, action
You probably want to feel like the powerful, brave man that you fail to be in real life

>>713975506
> fat
Wrong

>>713974535 (OP)
>filling emptiness bad because... because...
>IT JUST IS OK

>>713975591
It is not bad all of the time.
But it can get in the way of solving the core issue.

>>713974535 (OP)
actual 70iq post
imagine being so retarded your own post has doublethink in it
you first explain how each video game genre fulfills something that you want to do but do not have the possibility of actually pursuing in real life
and then you shit on that and ask "uhhh le why don't you just le do this in le real life lel"
kill yourself

>>713974535 (OP)
I dont think so my nigga. In some ways its true, like when I play a tycoon game I enjoy creating the most efficient and appealing way to make money. If I could do it IRL I would. But in other cases its a form of entertainment, as well as a way to explore fantasies. I enjoy playing Space Marine 2 and killing bugs en masse, but as cool as it would be to really be a space marine, I don't think I would enjoy all of the difficulties and commitments that come with it.
Case in point, you are wrong, and video games are fun.

>>713975693
You can afford a sports car, feel in control, build a business empire, move to a nice city, and grow as a person
But first, you have to put down that video game

>>713975825
What are some good tycoon games

>>713974535 (OP)
Everything you do in life is just something to fill the emptiness, if you do nothing you will feel empty, it's all just one big cope until the very end.

>classic nihilists: existence is meaningless, so let's party and make some awesome art

>>713975654
Let me guess, the "core issue" is that I'm not a wagecuck slaving my life away?
You gotta love these holier than thou faggots who want to tell you what's good for you

>NO you are NOT HAPPY!!!!!
>YOU'RE EXISTING WRONG!! FEEL BAD ABOUT THE WAY YOU'RE EXISTING!!
Lick my balls faggot, not falling for your shit

>>713976016
you can do both, though

>>713975693
I think that the last sentence clearly implies that what you might consider impossible is not necessarily impossible.

>nihilism thread
will you fight? or will you die like dog?

>>713974535 (OP)
Actually no, I use videogames as a distraction from anxiety during downtime while my problems are resolving.
Otherwise I just think about the worst possible outcome and get depressed

>>713974535 (OP)
Fuck off Yuri.

>>713974535 (OP)
lol, lmao even
did you get your psychoanalyst degree from tiktok?

Maybe you should mind your own fucking business instead of preaching to random anonymous Bhutanese carpet staring forum enthusiasts?

>>713976159
Doesn't matter.

>die like a dog
There's no difference between a dead dog and a dead human.

>>713974535 (OP)
Most video games flat-out don't depict things that anyone would want to deal with IRL.
Even the more mundane management sims are really just depicting an ordinary job that people only do to pay the bills. Actual jobs in management aren't games, they're a 50/50 split between boring paperwork and frustrating office politics bullshit.

>>713974535 (OP)
I play video games to escape the oppressive horrors of reality

>>713974535 (OP)
Yeah, or it's just a fucking hobby, which is why your faggot agency is so desperate to shame people for. Stay empty, bored, be afraid of enjoying yourself every now and then, set unreasonable expectations. Be angry, docile and easy to radicalize.

>>713976159
Fight what?

>>713975902
any tycoon game before 2002

>>713974535 (OP)
life is boring, games are fun

My useless drunkard Goddess

>>713975827
I once did an experiment. I imagined i had won 100 million dollars. After planning what i would do with it I realized i'm already doing it lol. I would play games, eat good food and chill out. I dont care about cars or money or business. Im already in a nice city. I don't undestand this obsession with "growing" and doing stuff all the time. Even if I were a millionare i would still spend time on 4chan and play games. The only difference would be that i would do it from a mansion. I despise people and dont want to be around them

>>713976159
fight for what? Schlomo Shekelstein's 1st trillion? a women who sees me nothing more than an ATM and entertainment system rolled into one?

Somebody post that tiktok with Tojo berating gamers while fiming himself with a phone in his hand

>>713975827
why, im enjoying myself now

>>713975329
did you pause your game to be here?

>>713974535 (OP)
Driving a suped up car IRL doesn't sound appealing at all. Prime target for cops and car thieves.

>>713978147
sounds like you live in a bad neighborhood

>>713978147
>just buy a sports car bro so you can drive the speed limit and have you ass hurt cause it has zero suspension

Track days. Or vacation in Germany

what a retarded cope

>join military thinking it will be cawadoody

But I can't have slavegirl harem IRL.

>>713978378
99% of people that can afford a sports car don't have the time or money for track days of a vacation in germany.

Yeah why don't I just go on a fantasy adventure to save the world irl

>>713978147
It's stupid, but the point is that many people imagine how cool it would be.

I'm buying a motorcycle.
I'll be having more than enough fun with that.
In the beniging it will also be nervewrecking af which will just add to the fun really.

>>713974535 (OP)
I'm learning Python. That way I can quit wagecucking and spend even more time indoors.

this kills the brown demoralizer

These types of threads should be instant ban. Whether they’re serious or not all games bad, ironic/unironic grindtok spam and all that shit needs to go. If you don’t like video games or don’t think they should be played it’s time to fuck off and don’t return. No you aren’t “based” for trying to “convert” some of the board you’re a tranny faggot or an adderall brain rotted zoomer who’s watched too many YouTube shorts about taking cold showers, you’re a tourist on here.

>>713974535 (OP)
>Deep down you know that playing your video games is just a way to fill some emptiness

I actually played video games to get away from people. You telling me to do things IRL would be opposite to what my goal is. You may find it hard to understand as a normalfag, but it's true. Consult the screenshot to see how I feel about the opinions of others.

>>713981368
I hide my power level, I have a normal social life work in very extroverted technical sales with customer facing meeting metrics and everything and I play games specifically to not have to socialize on the off days that I’m also not socializing with friends. There’s a rare few people I know who can socialize all day 7 days a week and be fine but anyone who makes these threads is usually a failed normalfag working a retail job who listens to business podcasts and thinks they can tell others what to do. Anyone who actually works or accomplishes things knows it’s ok to have unproductive hobbies or pastimes, you need to decompress mentally.

Why would you think I care about your worthless life?

I've managed to accumulate 200k in savings/investments at my mediocre wage cuck job by living below my means. Sadly I think it's the best I can do as getting out of bed without wanting to kill myself is a huge struggle every day. Escapism is one of the few things that keeps me going.

That example is killing people. You know how many people in the past joined the military just so they could do that? Sick stuff.

>stop being happy playing videogames, this is the list of things you should be happy with
this list seems to be a bunch of endless toiling for more money and doesn't seem to be enjoyable

haha video games go bleep bloop

>>713981868
Oh, do you think that means I care? What about if I filter the thread. What are the care levels then? Keep in mind the following.
>I did not a have a second thread open.
>99% of this board is automatically filtered at all times.
Gauge the care level now.

Yeah that's what life is. Filling the emptiness until you die

I.. fail to see where is the problem, here.

>>713981951
who are you quoting

>>713981067
Successful white men are not NEETs. As you can see, starting your own business is also mentioned in the OP.
>>713981861
Why demoralization?
It can be understood in the exact opposite direction - a reminder that you can do more in life.

Also, this is discussion of video games, it belongs here.

I'm good. Carfags are total retards.

>>713982550
This. We must be better men.

>>713982932
This. I got my car for $1. It's rusted to shit and has a 3 cylinder engine, but hey, if somebody crashes into it, and they do crash into it, it's no big deal and I just laugh it off and go on with my day. Same reason I'd never buy an expensive cell phone. It's too easy to get destroyed. $10 phone gets destroyed, laugh and go buy another. $1500 iPhone gets destroyed? Your entire month is ruined.

>>713983227
Have you tried simply not constantly destroying your phones?

>>713983227
Fact, fact, and fact. Further fact: you can gauge the melanin content of OPs skin by how much these statements make him rage. Not wasting money on overly expensive shit is anathema to the brown lifestyle.

>>713983546
Anon, brown people are usually poor.

>>713983717
Yeah, because they blow all their money on expensive junk.

>>713983546
OP here, I even agreed that sports cars are dumb in a previous post.
This doesn't contradict some other people fantasizing about a huge fleet of them.

>>713974535 (OP)
It's funny you say that, because i stopped playing shenzen i/o to work on a game written in assembly.

>>713986301
Then blessed are those that keep it a fantasy

>>713974535 (OP)
OP is is on to the right idea but he's still a faggot.
Only like like .05% percent of people can run a successful business and buy expensive cars now because it's not 1958 anymore. Anyway he doesn't understand the point of videogames.
Instead of buying a retarded sports car for $200,000 I could spend $500 on a good racing peripheral and treat it like the toy it really is.
And no matter how "in control" I feel I'm not going to be ordering around medieval troops to lay siege to some city... right? Samething with city design and so on. Half of these simulators is for checking things out and seeing what looks cool. The other half is being able to do comically ridiculous shit like the one-road city or the only-siege equipment army. Also there's games like Tribes where nothing in real life is going to come close.
But anyway the number of good adventurous jobs out there is pretty minuscule and usually you're filing taxes for sleaze corporation that wants to wring more money out of people by making their glob additives more addictive. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is right now.
Videogames are a great mercy, if you're not cut out to be a formula one racer, you can still play pretend as one with your videogame game.

>>713982646
Then reply to him, not me

>>713980908
>>713986456
Now I feel pressured to work on my goofy C# game scripting project that will hardly result in any real life advancement.
But it will be more satisfying than any of the saved games that I have deleted anyway.
