34 y/o here
I think im done for good.
I took a 6 month break from vidya because I wasnt really enjoying them.

I tied again, and I still fail to find joy in them.
I used to spend countless hours playing vidya, but now I just boot them and think "why bother"
I tried new games, old games, games I had on my backlog, games I played in the past, and games I had on my wishlist.
Nothing.

Ok, modern woke slop, I understand why its bad for you. But if you can't enjoy old games made before 2007, then something is unironically wrong with you. I would go out for a jog and exercise more if I were you. Also get your test levels checked by a doc

You retarded frogniggers make this thread every day, fucking die

>>715719775 (OP)
32yo here, very similar situation. I got into gamedev tho and im trying to create smth that my self, or at least older self, would play.

Try other hobbies instead of just have only 1 hobby

>>715719961
What a retarded fucking opinion, jesus fucking christ

you were supposed to be done with games 20 years ago to start chasing girls

Here's the problem: you're a normalfag who only ever plays GTA, Call of Duty, ubislop and multiplayer crap.

>>715720756
I have a wife now and I wish I was playing games on weekends instead of listening to her retarded horseshit

>>715720068
4chan is a frog site, tourist

Just make sure you stay off the board now bro

>>715719775 (OP)
10 minute walk every day

>>715720841
And I wish millenial dad gamers would stay away from gaming.

>>715720841
You fucked up big if she doesnt respect your time.
My wife can be a massive bitch but she understands that if she doesn't leave me alone to do what I want 80% of the time, I'm not going to be making anything better for her

>>715721184
Why bro? I don't play multiplayer slop anymore, so I'm not affecting you

Once you've spent long enough on the treadmill you understand that you're never getting the carrot and only the stick.

>>715721996
>this game is too hard but I still want to be included... my hands hurty from playing hard nes games... please dumb the game down or I cry!!!
>this game needs too much time... I can only play for 45 minutes because of my bitch wife... but I still want to have everything!!! Dumb the game down or I cry!
Total
Millenial
Death

>>715722352
You honestly think /v/ plays modern slop? Lol. I assume you're talking about Diablo 4

>>715719961
>youre low t if you don't like video games

shut up

>>715719775 (OP)
Dont think about taking a brake for limited time, just dont play them if you dont feel like. Something might come out someday that takes you back, or you could just watch footage of games here and there and call it a day

>>715719775 (OP)
not your blog faggot
only time it's okay to blog is if you're killing yourself
now gtfo

Just take a break and come back some other time, friend. I quit during the xbox 360 generation of games because they were so shit on average and I came back about 2 years ago with a gaming pc, I'm catching up on all the good games and it's been great. Maybe don't take that long of a break but a year+ is good for your soul.

same but im 24

>>715719775 (OP)
Play old pc games.

>>715723204
l2read
already did
>Blade of Darkness
>Warcraft 2
>Outpost 2
>Caesar 3

>>715722476
I'm saying this as a friend. Get your T checked. It could change your life.

VR yet? I only play VR these days. If not for VR then I would not play vidya.

>>715723482
Wear wrist weight while playing vr shooters for muscle plus testosterone increase.

>>715723513
nah man im not spending 300 bucks 'just in case they make me like vidya again'

>>715719775 (OP)
so? That's great news. You can do something else now. Live your life.

>>715720207
>>715722476
if something you enjoy stops giving you joy it can be a symptom of depression, for many modern men this is simply low T because we've all been poisoned

>>715722352
>reddit is every millennial dad gamer
Just because you didn't have a father figure """""growing up""""" doesn't mean they're all as bad as yours, zoom zoom.

>>715722352
>Thinking games are toned down for adult millennials but not for brain damaged zooms

>>715723613
Made me like vidya again.
Also a used Quest 2 is less than 200 dollars.

>>715719775 (OP)
What a shame.

>>715719775 (OP)
I'm 28 and the most fun I've recently had with new games was when I played a Grand Startegy game for the first time, or when I played a Bloober for the first time. I'm not kidding, I've put in over 2K hours into HOI4 and CK3 combined over the last 2 years. Playing a new genre will give you a psuedo sense of discovery that is unlike playing a new/old good game from a genre you're already familiar with.

Genre fatigue is a thing and as games get more and more derivative, genres start to feel the same. Trying new genres alleviates that somewhat.

Just take a break. I'm 50 and vidya is the only thing that makes me feel remotely accomplished in life.

Vidya are my solace. Doing anything else feels like an act.

>>715722476
NTA but being depressed and ultra sensitive is a sign of low test.

>>715723016
same and i'm also 24

>>715719775 (OP)
You have depression

Not the same and I'm 34. I get that feeling once in a while but usually with a few days to a couple weeks, the interest comes back.
99% of the time it's depression, not actually losing interest in something after spending your entire life enjoying it.
I just say to myself "yeah whatever" whenever another friend my age says he's done with vidya, and they're always coming back eventually. I have a cousin in his 60s that still plays them so whatever.

>>715719775 (OP)
hello 34 year old UNC
it is time for you to grow up and sto playing with childrens toys

get a job
get fit
get a wife
get children
die

that is what you must do

>>715719775 (OP)
nortubel will restore your passion for gaming

>>715722352
Skill issue, I'm a millennial dad and I use my (admittedly more limited) game time on dungeon crawlers and arcade 1CCs. Quality over quantity

>>715728276
He isn't wrong though. Most positive reviews for starfield are boomer dads that get 30minutes game time a week and go "Wow, look at that crater, isn't this game amazing?"

why does 30 seem to the age where everyone gets depressed?

>20 year olds: happy
>40 year olds: happy
>50 year olds: happy

>30 year olds: miserable

>>715728973
People forget how to be a person once they have responsibilities.

>>715728973
Dont know. I was doing great in my thirties.

>>715728973
>everyone
Most 30s anons here get depressed because they spent their 20s being happy and now have nothing to show for it. If they survive, then they hit their 40s and stop caring.

>>715719775 (OP)
Sounds like a you problem. No seriously, the problem is you, not the games.

>>715719775 (OP)

Its over anon

Nothing fills the void anymore. I just want to die

>>715728973
up until your 20s you're just a dumb kid
by 30s you should be a parent and if not then it's in your nature too feel like a failure
if you survive the guilt until the 40s then you're good

>>715719775 (OP)
Skill issue.

I'm 37 and still love games. It is harder to find time to play them without guilt (stop using 4chan for more time), but I love them as much as ever. Don't force yourself to play if you don't like gaming, but maybe you just need a new genre to try. Or find another hobby entirely, up to you.

>>715719775 (OP)
So what're you gonna do with your time instead? Sitting there being sad that things change is fine for a bit but then what?

The only thing frogtrannies enjoy anymore is HRT.

>im 34
>im 35
Why is this in so many threads now without context?

>>715719775 (OP)
I stopped playing games when I went to college and never went back.
I detest the work, but programming at home for fun turned out to be more enjoyable than games.

>>715735724
But you never left /v/ faggot

>>715720207
Do not use the Lord's name in vain, faggot.

>>715735457
I don't know about you but a lot of us grew up here. That's the only reason.

>>715719775 (OP)
try playing games outside of the status quo (steam,playstation,nintendo)
