What games are you playing tonight zoomerbros?

I'm 26 now and I can't keep doing this. I just sit in front of my computer and scroll my steam library, don't play anything. Tab back to /v/, waste time, jack off, repeat.
I have not played anything in almost 2 weeks now. It has become so painfully obvious that video games are so unproductive and I have no time left. I've played video games my entire life I literally have nothing else. No hobbies, no bitches nothing. I squandered the best years of my life and I have no way out.
Before I graduated this is exactly what I wanted. I felt like I would have loved nothing else than to have an easy job that would leave me maximum time to play video games. It's so funny that I actually got exactly what I wanted and all I want now is to end it all because I have no prospects.

>>716187446
instead of complaining and whining about it like a bitch on /v/ how about you do something about it you sad fuck

>>716187446
Set out on a journey of growth where you cultivate both your body and mind. Read the classics

>>716187071 (OP)
None because vydia is degenerate o algo HOLY FUCK LOOK AT HOW STOIC I AM HELL YEAHHH

>>716187071 (OP)
I haven’t been playing recently, aside from Spark 3
Was gonna continue The Hundred Line but I’ve been procrastinating on it because I’m a retard

do you think we should implement a minimum age requirement?

>>716187446
Go play a long game and commit yourself to it.

>>716187071 (OP)
I'm playing fucking roblox m8.
21 btw.

>>716187446
Are you me

>>716187071 (OP)
Going through NG+ in Blasphemous right now. I've been getting into metroidvanias lately, next it'll probably be the second game or SotN.

I've been binging free games as of late. Destiny 2, Warframe, Genshin Impact. I mean, why not? They're free

>>716187071 (OP)
I have been playing

>Mecha Break
Really haven't been able to stop playing this. I like the variety the mechs have, and it's fun to do paint jobs. I wish the devs would fix some of the issues (or "features") like bots and balance, but I really enjoy this game
>Satisfactory
autism sim, nuff said. Tickles the engineer brain
>Deltarune
still doing Ch2, I'll get back to it soon. Kind of crazy to see a classic being made in real-time. I just know this game will be considered a timeless masterpiece decades from now
>Magic Archery
free little time waster clicker game. The kind of game I might have found on Newgrounds fifteen years ago. One and done, took me like two hours to beat.
>Void Stranger
if you know you know.

>>716187525
Anon I won! I worked my ass off for years to get exactly where I am and if I back out now I would have nothing. I don't go outside, I don't read, I don't make music or have friends or family to spend time with, I don't really have any reason to get up in the morning except to play video games, the one thing I have oriented my life around since I was old enough to hold a controller.
>>716187783
Playing video games is impossible when every single moment you spend on them is consumed by thoughts of all the ways you could be spending the time more productively.

>>716187446
>has a job and money
Kys, I wish I wasn't a poorfag so I'd consume all the shit I want without any worries or play videogames wihtou guilt.

>>716187071 (OP)
Zoomerian here (from sumer!), 20 years old. Ive played some H games to take care of my needs, for i have no fucking bitches bros. Its a lonely life, but, im glad i was able to workout and further develop my skills in philosophy and mathematics.

It was about hypnosis btw. Peak

Its funny how Millenials might try to enter this thread. Because, they are old you know? They are quickly aproaching their age of being forgotten. God how i love being young, for i don't have to go through whatever shit they are going through.

Im gonna pirate some stuff later maybe, when i learn how to update this shitty OS with the power of two USB sticks.

nobody reply to the engagement baiter

>>716187446
Play age of mythology

Groomedbros how you holding up?

>>716188287
Literally can pirate and still miserable

>>716187446
I used to be in the same spot as you do. I have bought 200 Steam games and play none of them.
Until I start pirating 20 years old games and having a goddamn blast

>>716187071 (OP)
i played repo with one friend group for 3 hours then played 2 runs of peak with another friend group, i'll sleep soon

>>716188420
did you have fun?

>>716187446
what kind of job do you have anon?

>>716187446
Get a job NEET

>>716187446
>wished he had more time to larp on v as a child who couldnt game
>has more time to larp on v as an adult who doesnt want to game
issue?

>>716188420
yes, i laughed a lot on repo. we didnt manage to finish peak tho, so that's sad

>>716188472
sorry i replied wrong >>716188631

>>716188631
Bet you have a cute laugh

>>716187446
Boyo, you are literally just 26 years old. In six years with enough effort you could get an university degree, and get stuff going. Its not as hopeless as you may think.

Lego city undercover. I love the Lego games. Just mindless fun

>>716188787
i don't think i do, no

>>716187446
I’m 28. I just got on ozempic and am losing a lot of weight, I’m finishing my bachelor online, I bought a timed lockbox where I can throw my nicotine and weed addiction in there and I’m weaning myself off it. Even though I only have an associates I’m working as an IT account manager for a consulting firm with a $25 base and generous commission. Probably going to get a hair transplant and start testosterone therapy soon. I’m 6’3” and incredibly handsome when I was skinny like legit a 9/10 and constantly approached by women but I gave in to my worst impulses and stayed inside all day playing video games, browsing imageboads and being a paranoid freak. I’m a work in progress but we got time. As long as we set ourselves up for our 30’s we’re good

>>716187071 (OP)
Monster Hunter wilds, DK Bananza

Does anyone else listen to webcore music or am i the only retard who does here?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdUfYtHTrdg

Ik it sounds weird, but still. Im curious to what we hear actually as we surf the internet.

>>716188868
That’s the best Lego game. Between that one and TCS, maybe Lego marvel 1

Prob re village and some dbd

>>716187446
Sad life

>>716188573
He clearly says he has a job.

>>716188943
>ozempic
Look into gallbladder issues associated with that. Aunt got nasty gallstones but of course cant be directly collated. Maybe take some supplements like tudca and milkthistle

>>716188943
>Probably going to get a hair transplant and start testosterone therapy soon
these two kind of clash no? You can up your testosterone levels without doubling down on your baldness stat by doing workouts and eating right.

>>716187446
Stop smoking weed FAGGOT

>>716188943
>ozempic
i dont know if that's your case, but a family member used this stuff and got addicted, lost some weight and gained 4x the weight he lost

Zeroranger, practicing stages for an A rank run (fuck Z rank)

22 y/o zoomie

Just beat DK Bananza, had so much fun. I have a few games in my backlog but honestly none of them seem all that appealing to me right now besides Deltarune. Been thinking about getting into Street Fighter 6 because I think Cammy is hot.

I’m usually an RPG guy but I just have platformers on the brain at the moment.

Im 26 and I don't know basic high school math. I'm also historically and politically ignorant and completely socially retarded. People always tell you it's never too late but sometimes it is, it doesn't matter if you obtain clarity when your best years have passed by. I have no identity because I spent my formative years talking to no one and doing nothing except wanting to die.

>>716190359
learn a trade anon, it's not hard at all to be some basic thing like a plumber or such

zoomies gonna freak once they turn 30.

>>716190359
if it's any consolation most people forget all their high school math by the time they hit 26

>>716190359
You already have more self clarity than most people. Use that to your advantage.

Nail down your weaknesses and begin taking steps to correct them

I have a >>>software dev degree and I'm working in a factory, shits funny

I got a degree in physiotherapy and work at a Mcdonalds instead I hate old people.

>Try VR Chat randomly this month
>Not playing anything else and just sitting in lobbies listening to people talk and trying new avatars

Fuck...

>>716191302
i've made new friends from hosting random lobbies in friendslop games

>>716191302
a few days ago I was in a public lobby with a friend group of mine and shit was pretty fun ngl
ofc they got uncomfortable because they can't deal with some people saying faggots and shit, but it was fun seeing all the chaos unfold
makes me wish i talked to some of those people honestly

>>716187446
Don't worry I'm 36 and doing basically the same thing, and I'm doing just fine.

How does this even happen? I've been coming here since I was 9-10 and I NEVER came close to getting groomed.

>>716191645
some younger members of gen z unironically don't even try to get off to porn/hentai by their lonesome anymore is why
making accounts and blatantly stating their age
shits weird and reeks of poor parenting

Figuring out what games I'll want to stream

>>716187071 (OP)
Played repo and lethal company for a bit with friends, same as most nights. Wish my friends list would play some of the other games I like, but it's better than nothing.

>>716191424
Its because its obnoxious as fuck when some stupid ass american barges into your conversation tweaking out or theyre literally a kid which is even worse.

That game needs multiple layers of account confirmation to let people speak honestly. Oh and strangers can just crash your server or hack it i guess.

>>716187071 (OP)
Been playing Mother 3
Thinking of playing mostly JRPGs afterwards and focusing more on drawing

>>716187446
Take a break from /v/, and 4chan in general.
Trust me, it helped me with finishing more games and focusing on other stuff once I stopped coming to this shithole for a while.

As for hobbies, I would say try to read a book as a start. You could ask /lit/ for suggestions. I don't know what your are interests so try to find hobbies for yourself

>>716187071 (OP)
I'm just pirating old stuff so I could say I played them while watching youtubers

DodonPachi Daioujou, Ninja Gaiden Black, job applications

>>716187446
If it makes you feel any better I have a high paying job and a good "career" and I think it's genuinely hell on earth

>>716188231
How are you going to do anything when you aren't even able to enjoy a video game

>>716187446
This but I'm 35

>>716187446
Join the club.

>>716190359
you can get a decent job without any formal education

with $1mil in savings you could concievably live off of dividend or interest yields. 5% yield = $50k annually, pretax

good to be concerned about that. Pick the right equities and they will appreciate.

how tf do i reach that bridge anyway

25 yr old playing back to the Dawn, I got my A+ and Network+ and I'm doing nothing that actually requires me to use that knowledge, but it doesn't matter since everyone tells getting comptia stuff retarded even though I didn't know that so I guess I'm fucked

>>716192674
50k annually might not be enough by the time anon could hit a mil, shits getting expensive

I was about to say good thing he isn't me. I even did so bad I can't even go to a masters program

>>716193181
I got associates in computer science and the nearest university rejected me to enroll in that career
I'm contemplating if i should switch to IT or retake a class I did bad on

Turn 28 in a month. I have been playing Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. It's a bit clunky but a very fun XCOM-like tactics game with a lot of inspiration from the Cyberpunk TTRPG. It's the closest thing we'll probably ever get to a game that's like Cyberpunk mechanically.

I haven't played multiplayer games in over a year, maybe more. I'm back to comfy singleplayer games. I hate metafags that always devolve every single game that comes out.

I get married next year, will probably have kids soon after and vidya time will go out the door.

I bought this off eBay for 10 dollars because it looked like an entertaining Dark Souls ripoff but it's just really boring Monster Hunter

>>716187071 (OP)
>tfw turned 28 at the start of the month

>>716194214
Hi Anon, I'm you from 5 years in your future. You'll have time for vidya, but you'll just need to understand that multiplayer only happens when the kid is deadass asleep, otherwise it's just single player turn based games that you can walk away from as needed

Yeah and its going to be closed beta for the remake in August so its a good time to pick it back up too

>>716187071 (OP)
Silent Hill 3, made it past the subway. I wish I had more to say but it's just a nice spooky game. I loved Jacob's Ladder and this game feels the closest to the film for me out of the rest

It doesn't count if do it yourself

18 years old zoomer here. I was playing Disgaea until now, still figuring how to unlock some classes. Grinded three of them to lvl 100 and unlocked all their tiers, so it was kind of productive. When I was a kid and didn't use internet that much it was funnier to play games since I didn't consider just looking the wiki/guide and easily discover what should be secret. It was better that way.

Go play some good puzzle games without looking anything up, The Witness, Return of the Obra Dinn, Blue Prince, etc.

my brother bouhgt the Patapon ports and I've been addicted to that.

Threadly reminder to all zoomers that even once you reach 40, you'll still mentally feel like your 20.
People are pretty much the same for the rest of their lives once they get past highschool, any perceived differences between age groups is purely generational.

>>716199475

You can "grow" somewhat, but your main personality and who you essentially are stops developing. It's mostly about becoming more tired and cynical.
I graduated highschool over 20 years ago but it still feels like it was yesterday.
I dunno maybe IM the special one.

>>716188195
>if you know you know.
Yeah, I know.

>>716202616
>but your main personality and who you essentially are stops developing
NTA, but I think I can agree with that
I talked with my dad who's in his early 50s and from what I've heard, he basically acts almost the same as he did in his twenties. His circumstances have changed of course, so he occasionally acts differently, but his personality is the same

>>716202773
It's ironic, when we are younger we race to be an "adult" so we can do the "adult" things, but now at 40 the only thing I'm racing towards is retirement so I can have that lack of responsibility and obligation of a child again.

27, trying some random indie games. Drill Core is okay, its half tower defense and half mining management game. Played the KF3 beta for 15 minutes before deciding I hate it and I wanted to give Abiotic Factor a try before I realised I have no friends to play with so that's not happening.
All in all I've wasted my life pretty thoroughly and wouldn't mind either travelling back in time or just dying and playing around in the great freeform sandbox which I hope is how afterlife will work.

Whats your take on older video games before lets say 2010?
I personally fuck with it alot even tho i didint grow up with those games.
