do you think you you will still be gaming when you're older?

>>715604918 (OP)
I hope so

>>715604918 (OP)
No, gaming is boring. Increasingly I find myself just reading books.

i dont even game now

>>715604918 (OP)
No, after the chinese invasion and regulations on digital entertainment in their colonies, I assume I'll be in a labor camp or dead.
In all seriousness though; yes absolutely, unless something as extreme as my shitpost happens.

the day i'm unable to play vidya is the day i'll kill myself

>>715604918 (OP)

What happens if the train speeds up? The monitor is gonna fall over no?

>>715604971
Books are gay as fuck.

>>715604918 (OP)
For sure, I will probably be in a retirement home and spend all my time playing vidya and shitposting on 4chan in my room.

>>715606296
It gets worse.

>>715606352
that's a plane retard

hopefully not

i feel like most of you guys really want to say "i'll check out a game here and there if it brings new innovation" but are too tryhard to say it

>>715604918 (OP)
38 year old here

I still play games but I get more excited about an emulator getting an update so retro games run better than I do playing a new AAA release.

>>715604918 (OP)
Yes.

>>715608276
If you're 38 years old you should have the original hardware instead of doing soulless emulating

>>715606296
That depends entirely on you, nigger

>>715605860
45 here. Yup still gaming.
>>715606296
Nta but Yes, 100%, though not in the ways you'd expect.

35 and still gaming
dad is 65 and still gaming

I'm 33 and I've already had a couple of instances where I "quit" video games because I felt like I had outgrown it just to pick the hobby up again later
The first was when I was 18 and again when I was around 25.

>>715608342
Hindsight is 20/20. When you're a kid and the shiny new toy comes out, the old toys get donated or just thrown out, especially when your parents have no idea what you have on your hands. Your generation doesn't have to worry about that because you'll never own anything, and anything physical you do own is garbage anyway.

>>715608389
what do you mean
>fucked up economy
>fucked up dating market
what exactly depends on me?
>>715608431
good to know

>>715604918 (OP)
i wish i was still gaming now.

>>715608617
You're right. No one has a good life. Everybody is failing. You're good. Keep going the way you've been going, don't change anything.

>>715604918 (OP)
>do you think you you will still be gaming when you're older?
easily and trolling and shitposting too
sóy-ciety made me like this

>>715604918 (OP)
If videogames aren’t in ruin like where all entertainment is going at the moment, then sure, why not.

>>715608532
You're nearly 40 years old, you should have enough money to spend a tiny bit to get the original hardware anon.

>>715604918 (OP)
42, and I’ve slowed down considerably. Even 10 years ago, I was playing every new FotM game that was coming out, and could easily spend an entire weekend playing a game, but anymore, I just don’t feel the motivation all that much. I start thinking about other more productive shit that I could be doing with my time. I don’t know if it’s just a sign of getting older that everyone goes through, or a side product of my dad dying of cancer a few years ago getting me thinking about the limited time that we have or what.

Now, it’s kind of the same way I feel about anime; I was borderline obsessed with it for 2/3 of my life, but I’m kind of grown out of it now, but I still like the idea of it on paper, and certain franchises or creatives will bring be back every time.

>retarded out of touch boomer nonsense

>>715606296
Basically this >>715608389

You’ve just got to find something that gives you purpose and fulfillment. For some people, it’s a family, and for some it’s a creative outlet. Video games and shitposting online are basically emotional junk food, and can’t be everything you do, or you’re going to feel like shit sooner or later.

>>715609937
>people
which people? I walk down the block and see loitering niggers on gibs doing nothing all day
>family
have you seen the divorce and virginity rates for men recently?
according to statistics young men are much more willing than women to start a family, according to surveys the main obstacle is their financial situation while for women it's also their indipendence
>creative outlet
ok that's a good one

playing demon's souls at 70 would have to be peaceful

>>715604918 (OP)
Yes. If anything, pension is THE time to play.

…or you can just make excuses to justify doing nothing, pissing the years away being needlessly depressed in “gamer fatigue” threads, where you and other anons lick each other’s wounds, and pretending like it’s everyone else’s fault but your own that you’re depressed until you eventually hit middle age, and look back in horror at all the time wasted.

I’m just speaking from experience, but as they say, you’ve got to let people make their own mistakes.

>>715610728
>or you can just make excuses to justify doing nothing
not sure what you are doing here but at some point one must ask if the juice is worth the squeeze even and whether you should keep the running wheel spinning if you don't even get the carrot but only the stick
>where you and other anons lick each other’s wounds
literally nobody is doing this
>and pretending like it’s everyone else’s fault
surely not mine, I was brought in the world in its current state, didn't have much of a say
>you’re depresse
but I'm not depressed
>I’m just speaking from experience
never in the history of humankind we had a dating market like this, all your experience is invalid unc and only advice you can possibly give is also not applicable anymore

>>715604918 (OP)
that's ALL I'll be doing. Look at old fucks now. They just sit in front of the TV. At least I'll be using my brain slightly more

Clean it up jannies!
