Thread 714215037

30+ gamer thread

Why do you fags act all depressed about your age? Stop bitching and live your life.

My first console game was the first sonic game, and my first PC game was Word Munchers. My first digital download game was Escape Velocity sometime in the late 90s.

Modern gaming is great. Old games are boring.

definitely not the touhou general

>>714215037 (OP)
Im 33 almost 34 but most if the time i feel like im 18.
I kust finished lies of p and its dlc. They were incredible but now inhave nothing to play. Im just doing balatro and binding of isaac until i find something new.

thats a lot of gamers

>>714215145
This
32 here and I'm enjoying gaming more then ever both old and new
Its a literal skill issue if you keep letting your self destructive thoughts get the best of you

Why is it that the older I get the more I'm interested in preteen and teen girls?

33. Playing gacha games before work and during breaks at work. Single player games at home. Pretty comfy honestly. Improved my general position considerably since my mid-20s. Got a job that finally stuck, building savings, finally went to Japan, etc.

>>714215037 (OP)
im 25 but im gonna die

>>714215145
Because I wasted my life and I don't have any opportunities to fix it like young people do. All my friends moved away, started families, or became too busy to hang out. All the women my age are either taken, fat, or have kids. Even if I could somehow muster the motivation to fix my life, I wouldn't know what to do with it except learning pointless hobbies to distract myself. My life is miserable, I'm going to die alone, and no one cares because there are millions of men like me.

>>714215545
most people fail at life the longer they live. The problems keep piling up and they begin failing to cope.

>>714215214
Emulating is very comfy. I'm still amazed at how many games people have shat out. There are so many games that it's impossible to play them all in one lifetime

>>714215145
not all of us are depressed, i just like these threads as it becomes a generational perspective, i like pinball games for example but how many people younger are even exposed to that shit these days let alone like it?

i used to collect retro games but mostly because it was cheap entertainment, at some point it got obscenely expensive, at least i can play what i have.

i play genshin impact and find that fun if super casual since the vast majority of the difficulty comes from end game modes where your lacking the exact character designed to clear content, or at least build to an insane degree to overwhelm.

there's plenty of /v/ approved vidya on several consoles and PC, you're missing out

I am 27 and I still feel like a teenager

>>714217353
the second you hit 30 your lifeand body will fall apart

>>714215613
Personally my tastes have never changed. I was into teens when I was a teen. Still into them at 34. Why would it change?

>30+ Gamers get to be VTuber Anime Girls and pretend they are still teenagers complete with the drama and unprotected sex
>Don't get to be one of them, have already given up 2 years in advance

WHY. EVEN. LIVE???

>not ugly just regular looking white dude
parents are always bugging me about getting a gf and having a family, and while I do I still want to be selfish and pamper myself. I figure if shit doesnt get good in the next 6 years I might give up and wind up alone

36. It's hot as fuck, I'm tempted to just turn off my computer since it's generating so much heat. Maybe this is what all my pc handhelds are for.

>>714217353
Hope you have atleast some accomplishments under your belt, because once you hit 30, you can't do anything

Life ends at 30

>>714219732
please fuck off

Fucking nothing happens at 30 if you stay fit and take care of yourselves, anons.

>>714215613
well idk about preteen that's kinda fucked but teens/16-18(legal area) is pretty normal
it's the fatherly/chimp side in us coming out, either you want to protect them or mate with them

These threads need to be nuked. The entire site needs to be nuked.

I literally don't give a shit about any of you and i kindly hope you killyourself, go the fuck back to r3ddit and stay there you niggers.


Except you, you are alright but kill yourself just in case.

i'm fixin to lie in bed and stream some palworld to my 'eck even though its only 7pm

cos ive been ill 17 years

>>714216189
I play video games, read manga/comics, and watch anime. I also make 6 figures and have a wife and kids. What did you do?

Look up fashion clothes staples for men. Dark wash jeans, button ups, etc. Get a good haircut. Get on online dating. You will meet people you wouldn't otherwise meet. I assume you at least have a well paying job if you totally neglected your social life?

If you are physically, neurologically, cognitively, mentally, or emotionally able (at least one of these things) you have no excuse to be a NEET loser.
You are a leech— a parasite on all humanity.

That's sick dude.

i unironically think i will be so sick of reading normalfag and sex haver opinions and blogs on every single board that i genuinely will leave this place soon. i am at my limit. it's insufferable and so damn grating and exactly like how the rest of the internet has been since 2007. there's no respite from the normalfag sex haver hoards. they infest even the most obscure and niche corners of the internet and have for ages and i refuse to interact with these people or read their npc braindead boring cookie cutter drivel any longer. i wish disease and death upon every single normalfag and sex haver i hate you all.

>>714215145
I am not depressed, just frustrated is all.

>>714220726
i get it, my sister has been ill since she is 17 (she has hidradenitis supurativa) and is really shit, gladly she has been getting better now but my mon and i have to work our ass off to pay all her treatments

I have been playing Disco Elysium and the game is a blast. Finished Sponge bob cosmic shake and it was good but not as good as the BFBB game, too many rough cutscene transitions.

Any recommendations? I'll try anything as long it is not horror or a grindfest.

Looking for more games to play while also studying and looking for a new job. Have an interview tomorrow and I hope things work out. I want to be able to spend and Invest without worrying about tomorrow.

>>714221504
Why not just have sex then? It's not that difficult. You're not a casual, are you?

from your list it would be these

Okami 2
Resident Evil 9
Persona 6

Darksiders 4

also waiting on the new sonic racing game to release and be on sale and hoping the CTR pc port rumors are true. Also is darksiders 4 even happening at this point?

>>714215214
this but unironically.
I didn’t enjoy the old games all that much when I was young and I don’t enjoy them now.
the newer the games the more fun I’m having.

Death Stranding 2 was very good. I've enjoyed it thoroughly.

>>714222430
>Also is darksiders 4 even happening at this point?

There was an announcement of a new Darksiders project a few months ago. Pretty sure Strife is about to get his game finally. It's seemingly taking a little longer than usual to get even our first teaser trailer so they might be putting extra budget into it. Curious to see how he plays in third-person after Genesis.

NEETs don't deserve empathy. Only ridicule and scorn.

>>714223574
How old is the troon? or rather: Do they pass?

>>714215037 (OP)
I'm playing the System Shock 2 Remaster and it's indescribable how good this game makes me feel. Yes the combat is a bit janky and wonky but yet it FEELS like the perfect blend of realism, immersion, and video game-ness combined. It feels comparable to the moon landing:
>we had the technology to do this in primitive years
>how the actual fuck do we not have the tech to do this now?
>"lol we lost it/forgot"
90's and prior nerds truly were the last great bastion of actual wizards.

>>714222992
>NEETs don't deserve empathy. Only ridicule and scorn.
You can always tell a failed normie by their attitude toward NEETs.

If anything NEETdom should be a permanent option with no stressful application hoops for all men who are 130+ IQ. You want to enable free association of your brightest as much as possible. That's what moves society forward. But you're too downtrodden and miserable to care.

>>714224981
This. You bet your ass if money was no object I'd do nothing but lift, play vidya, and drink/smoke weed

>>714222754
You can be one, anon. It's not hard. There's no badge of honor in being a depressed shut-in with no friends and no passion for life. It's not bad to enjoy things that others enjoy, to find a bit of happiness in things that are popular. You don't have to become a braindead NPC, you can have opinions that go against the grain, but being a normalfag isn't the death sentence you think it is. You can be happy too, anon.

>>714224981
>>714225098
Neither of you has an IQ of +130.

>>714225176
IQ is for children, not for adults. If you are not working at NASA then you are probably not high IQ, just a regular retard or a slightly autistic retard.

>>714225116
hapiness and content makes you lazy. if youre suffering, youre striving. perfect for creators of all sorts, hungry artist and all that shit. nta btw. being normal is boring

>>714225176
>Neither of you has an IQ of +130.
I was speaking in general, I'm probably low '20s somewhere. That being said I don't require regular NEET options - I'm a crypto NEET. I live on crypto gains and trade.

The only person I answer to is the tax man. Apart from that I'm my own boss and do as I please. I have cash, time, and social mobility. I might not be the most gifted man around, but I've carved out a nice life for myself.

>>714225116
>but being a normalfag isn't the death sentence you think it is

Imagine living life with no self awareness or inner monologue, you just do thing because someone tells you to do it. Normalfags are just as weird as autistic people if not worse cause they actually socialize.

>>714223574

Dang, nothing gets pseuds triggered like being told they're actually just narcissistic retards.
The comment doesn't even need to be aimed at them for them to start getting defensive and breaking out the "Actually I'm a crypto billionaire certified genius I just choose to be a NEET and have no friends because I'm too smart for that kind of cringe bullshit!" copium dumps.

>>714225953
>"Actually I'm a crypto billionaire
Impressive amount of seethe. Maybe Mr. Formerly Gifted Child should stop being so animated by spite and actually apply himself to something. But then that would first require you to humble yourself and admit that you don't have all the answers.

how is your back feeling?

>>714225349
Just consider it, anon.
>>714225424
Striving for what? What is it you are suffering for? What do you hope to accomplish by living in pain? Not speaking in broad strokes, I'm talking you specifically. Do you believe you will be rewarded if you intentionally choose to suffer and avoid happiness?
>>714225661
>you just do thing because someone tells you to do it.
That's not what being a normalfag means, anon. Being a normalfag just means you take an interest in things others are aware of, and are willing to talk to them and hear their opinion about those things. It means living your life without treating the viewpoints of others with absolute contempt, to be willing to share your own opinions without fear of judgment.

>>714226327
No problems (yet). Having a standing desk and mini treadmill help.

>>714226473
>It means living your life without treating the viewpoints of others with absolute contempt, to be willing to share your own opinions without fear of judgment.

Thats literally the opposite of a normalfag retard

>>714226473
>Do you believe you will be rewarded
but i am, i just told you the reward. being content is boring and bad for creation. there needs to be a balance obviously, but i dont need no pussy to balance out my needs, if anything that would be distracting and way to time intensive.

>>714225953

Closest thing to System Shock 3 was Prey 2016 but it didn't sell well enough. Arkane is also a kill.

>>714226327
Not bad. It's my knee I worry about. I have been digging up and pressure washing landscaping rock that's full of decades worth of dirt. Every day, I wake up the kids on Summer vacation at 8:00 AM with my loud-ass washing.

I wish there were a game I could get truly immersed in. I wonder if VR is what I need. I think I'm getting cabin fever from not leaving my folk's house for years at a time. Random 4chan posts have been sending me messages and addressing me by my first and last name for years. Every copy of 4chan is personalized.

Every Path of Exile cycle, I hype myself up to be a "gamer" again, and I give up after maybe half a day of binge gaming and never go back.
Now I just play factory games in short burst (set myself one goal) and keep up with 1 gacha game.

>>714229315
I'll be 40 next month. One 4 year old and a 1 month old. I keep acting like I'm going to play some games. I scour the steam sales every time. I still spend a couple hours on /v/ every day spread out through the day, just out of habit. I think it might be over for me. I don't have it in me. Maybe when my boy gets old enough for games I'll play with him.

it gets easier, you just need to get to a point where your youngest can take care of themselves to play and come ask you for things occasionally.

The only games I’m looking for are fatlus ones, so I’m mainly playing gachas and some older stuff from my backlog. Raidou remake is decent.
Also got a Switch 2 last week, no idea why since I’m not interested in Mario Kart. Guess I’ll get a used copy of Donkey Kong some time after it releases.
Haven’t touched a woman once in 7 years now, but at least I fulfilled my weeb dream of moving to Japan and working in gamedev.

I knew I should have knocked out my errands last Friday after work because the moment I had "something to do", my vacation wouldn't feel like a vacation.

At least I managed to beat Expedition 33 over the weekend. But since then, I've been jumping between a handful of games because I can't seem to stick with one for more than 1-2 hours. Been jumping between Stardew, Oblivion Remaster, Monster Hunter Wilds with frens, and FFXIV for the 2-3 raid nights I have. Been getting an itch for Rimworld and kinda been thinking of playing through Killer is Dead because it's supposed to be short.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.
That was the one, I would have won. 1 miss timing, all over.

I'm inching up towards 40, no signs of hair loss, and I've only got a few gray. Teen girls still flirt with me when I'm working in my yard on their way to school. It's across the street and I'm coincidentally always working in the early morning and mid afternoon except on weekends and holidays.

Women (white) hit the wall at 22-28, when does it come for men? BTW is it better to go with a crop sensor since it gives "free" zoom or is that a meme?

>>714238651
men usually look better as they age, the only exception is if you get excessively fat or lose your hair. (if you lose your hair just shave your head, grow a beard, and hit the gym)

>>714219732

You're doing it wrong.

Talk to your advisor once or twice a year.
Try to work somewhere at the university for a staff discount. Networking is huge. Most jobs don't give a fuck about grades.
Don't have back to back full semesters of classes, that shit will burn you out.

>>714237097
Yeah you should check out shorter games like killer is dead. Everything else you listed is like fucking 30-40 hours.
Maybe fuck around and emulate some older games? That's what I do when I can't decide.

Haven't lost my hair or got fat yet though so I have those to be thankful for

Holy shit man, you read my mind. I had an awful night. My neck it's been hell for weeks and today the lower back joined to the party. I was even dreaming of the pain. Bro, at least let me fuck waifus in my sleep, not dream of that shit.

A lot of 30+ people haven't come to terms with their mortality and the irreversibility of time. They feel there are things they were meant to do that they haven't done and think they no longer can because they're not the right age for it. The fact is, you're not really meant to do anything and the only expectations that matter are those you set for yourself.

Just Finished playing Enderal for the first time. I had tried a couple of times before but dropped it after an hour each time, finally got through it all this time. There were a couple of things wasn't as crazy about, but it was an absolutely great story and game overall.

>>714243858
you can delete your jewtube history and start by searching and watching selected videos you like, it's much better

>>714243902
I remember playing enderal and dying like 5 minutes after the start to a wolf pack. Uninstalled it.

>>714244261
Yeah, that's pretty much what happened to me the first few times when I dropped it. Then I forced myself to stick with it and spent 150 hours on my playthrough. It picks up quite a lot after the first 2 -3 hours.

Nope, 40 is the line.
Once you hit 40 thats it.
You cant get laid anymore, cant get a gf. You're too old to hang out with 30-somethings and WAY too old to hang out with people in their 20s.
You dont have the energy to go out and socialize anymore, let alone do anything that isnt just sitting around your house.
If you dont have a career then the only jobs left for you are bottom rung shit like Gas Station Cashier.
You cant even pack up and move to another country like you can in your 20s and 30s cuz you're too old for any kind of visas, sponsorships or residency.
You cant have kids, while technically you can, but the chance of your sperm giving you a kid with downs (or something worse) doubles every year past 32.

Your life is effectively over, and the worst part is that now the govt changed retirement age to 70 (while everyone was distracted with George Flloyd) you still have 30 years of wageslaving left before you can finally retire, only to have to pay for retirement yourself (cuz your retarded boomer parents got rid of govt pensions).

>>714242926
My man, your life is half over at 40, you're not gonna be one of the cursed few to make it past the 100 mark

>>714242926

Either you are thinking about your well-off parents, or yourself are a dying 80 year old.

I finally got around to trying the new Tamriel Rebuilt update, Grasping Fortunes, and it's so fucking beautiful. I adore that the mod team keep working on this game and pouring so much autistic love and passion into it.

Morrowind is my comfy game and my most favourite game of all time. Playing it is like "going home". Every new Tamriel Rebuilt update is like discovering a part of my home I somehow never knew existed but felt like it was always there and blends in perfectly. This goes for the wider project such as the recent one which also added in Anvil and the surrounding areas. I consider myself extremely lucky that Morrowind still gets so much modding attention to this day and that it will never stop. Though it's almost bittersweet that by the time mainland Morrowind is "finished" I will probably be pushing 40.

Your libido will eventually kill itself in another 10 years. Personally I find my extreme libido annoying and I have a stupid habit of hopping on a certain trash MMO to have e-sex with catgirls played by grown ass men.

32 years old here. I'm fine for the most part, just lonely and single, would like a girlfriend but can take it or leave it at this point in my life. I have no games to play as I've played everything I wanted, so I'm bored and having to look for things to play/do to keep me entertained. I usually try to play longer RPG's that are 40-60 hours long, so at least it'll keep me busy for several days up to a week. Games that can be finished in 15-25 hours just aren't cutting it.

I guess I should get more hobbies, but nothing interests me. I almost considered taking up fucking lego building as a hobby, but they're expensive. I have no patience either, so don't think I'll be able to sit and put together some 2,000-3,000 piece set. I'm still fapping about once a day, but it varies. I think I do it more out of boredom if anything nowadays, like I have a libido but I've noticed if I'm entertained then I don't do it as much, which leads me to believe I'm literally doing it because I'm bored and want to feel something for 15-20 minutes.

I make 6 figures but it's not a flex. I'm a travel tech which means I'm never home. And when I am home, I'm typically sleeping so I can recover for work. So I typically play games on my phone or on my Switch.

To start dating highschool girls, that is. They literally cant contain their pussies around an adult man that is not their father.

Funny thing is, libido starts declining only when you stop having sex (or jerking it), otherwise it only goes up.

I tried the new deltarune chapters but fuck me this game is more of a visual novel than whatever the fuck undertale was
I really don't give a shit about this teenage drama I just wanna fight monsters

tfw no time or cognitive resources to learn new games

Turned 28 not long ago, changed the trajectory of my life by making a weird career move that will get me way less money but make me way healthier in the long run (engineer into military). Family told me you always end up working for money and that's what I should optimize for, but there's this disgust I feel when I think about it.
Is that truly it? Make more money to live in increasingly expensive houses and fill them up with trash I don't need? Marry and hope I'm in the good 50% side that won't divorce? ie. the boomer paradise.
My experience tells me I always end up worrying and having regrets, but that my gut feeling is rarely wrong, so might as well have fun. I'm having fun right now. About ten years ago I also realized that as long as I had an internet connection and good weather I'd be happy. I don't need all this shit but my family must think I'm weird.
Still working on my factorio megabase. It's the first one so it's complete garbage but I'm having fun too. This game's amazing.

I never used to be good at rhythm games but now I suck at them. Can't even get a G on Easy in Project DIVA.

Has being a soldier been something you've wanted to do since you were a kid? If not then joining at your age would be monumentally retarded, the military won't save you it will chew you up and spit you out. I saw plenty of guys make the same mistake.
However, I also saw guys that never joined when they were younger dab on 20 year olds in their 30's and even 40's (my SL was a fucking Desert Storm vet who re-upped) because they really wanted it and were motivated and disciplined.
Take a look at your motivation, is all I'm saying. It's called military "service" for a reason.

For careers like military, merchant navy or any other job that's less a job and more of a life style you're going to be incredibly miserable if this isn't a career you actually want to do because you love the job.

>>714257085
Don't go to college, college degrees are largely a financial trap, trade skills are much better for making a living. Electrical work especially, even more so in the decades to come as labour automation comes into its own. The fact about modern times that most people will not tell you, or cannot articulate, is that you don't make a living by following your dreams, our current society feeds on the dreams of millions to fuel itself.

Even if you spend much of your working life doing a job that you hate but keeps you well paid, you will thank yourself for the sacrifice in your old age when all you have built on that work keeps you safe.

>>714257085
the world is so much worse now than it was when i turned 18 so idk i think you're just fucked

Visual stimuli and brain chemicals are not the same as introducing foreign substances into your body, you fell for the demoralization "PORN IS MORE ADDICTIVE THAN HEROIN" psyop.
It's not, and all that NoFap shit that talks about how difficult it is, and is filled with nothing but people talking about relapsing are echo chambers for doomers avoiding personal responsibility.
You are not a junkie, you are a slave to impulse, get a grip on yourself.

>>714257605
Yes. I love team ninja slop and shin megami tensei this past year

>>714258004
I wasn't saying porn is more addictive than heroin, way to misquote me, I was saying it's an addiction and that guy was saying it isn't and that you can just "stop cranking your hog" at any time as if there's no addictive quality to sex what so ever, huge difference, pal.

>>714257892
i find her cute not sexually attractive

>>714257994
I recommend playing it with UA because you can play the campaigns of DoW and WA with the mod content active. Just fair warning though, avoid having too much line of sight at any given time, it'll crash your game, but it only really happens with the probe add-ons for turrets, so you're fine if you don't use those.

What you're good at or interested in, there is tons of vocational training in addition to generic subjects. More importantly you'll have easy access to people your age for the next four years. I heard idiots like >>714257517 when I was your age saying higher education was basically over, yet here we are all these years later and they're still making a sea of jobs hardlocked behind a four year degree. If you end up hating it or finding another calling after a while you can always change course. You shouldn't have to pay for the whole thing up front.

>>714257001
>Has being a soldier been something you've wanted to do since you were a kid?
Hell no, however I've always wanted to be an engineer and I realized this wouldn't make me the person I want to be. The life would make me rich, weak and unhappy.
>If not then joining at your age would be monumentally retarded
Funnily enough that's the answer I get every time I talk about it here. Please note I'm not American and will serve as a maintenance specialist. The jobs can be pretty comfy as a result.
>dab on 20 year olds in their 30's
Seems to be the norm here, crazy what decades of military environment can do to your body, both mentally and physically. I understand that statistically, some civilians beat the military but I think it's overwhelmingly not the case. I think environment outweighs mindset.

Higher education works if you're well connected or a prodigy, but not everyone has that option. It's a substantial leap of faith to make, especially as concerns your life's course.

>workout twice a day

I'm more happy than ever. Best decision was quitting Dota 2. What a literal waste of time.

Anyone here tried Dagger Directive solo? Is it alright? My friends all have conflicting schedules so it's just not a good idea to get co-op games unless they have a solid singleplayer going for them. We've been putting off Barotrauma and Abiotic Factor for ages now
