Thread 718538359

I wasted tens of thousands of hours on videogames and have nothing to show for it. If I could get that time back I would never touch another v*deogame again. V*deogames are worse than alcohol, heroin, and war.

you had fun

>alcohol, heroin and war
sounds like a party

>>718538359 (OP)
I wish I had been autistic about cars instead of video games but alas I’m a trve gaymer at heart and am useless

>>718538359 (OP)
???
Surely you had fun playing games with your friends and family?
What else could be better than that?

>>718538359 (OP)
you'd have wasted that time anyway you useless retard

But blacks are already commting crimes at a very young age and that is okay?

>>718538359 (OP)
I was born kinda dumb, ugly, and sickly so no amount of normie shit would’ve changed me. Maybe I could’ve been a professional athlete if I did sports when I was younger? I don’t really care though because it’s too late now. I think you should just do whatever you want in life and have no regrets. If you want to rape someone, just do it. I just spend my days living off welfare, shoplifting, and shitposting lol. I used to make fun of blacks for doing that but I understand their perspective now. If you have nothing going for you, why not just do whatever you want?

I enjoy video games, I dont regret my time with video games as a whole though there are a few that I wish I dropped a little sooner

>>718539139
Laughed so hard I shit myself. Thanks, dickhead.

>>718541680
That’s actually a pretty enlightened perspective, but I’d advise against being a shoplifter because you’re eventually going to get caught. It happens to literally everyone. And since you’re an unproductive member of society, they’ll probably throw the book at you.

One of the unspoken benefits of choosing to participate in society is that people will be more willing to treat you like a decent human being (i.e. help you) if anything goes wrong. Otherwise, it’s very unlikely that they’ll have anything other than contempt for you, which will significantly reduce things working out for you favorably.

>>718538359 (OP)
Maybe leave the website if your time is so precious. In my experience, the NPCs have no self-awareness at all. They say video games are a waste of time, and then spend all day on 4chan. It's why I have most of this board filtered; It's because none of them deserve to be heard.
I can only hope you're using the rest of the board, OP.

>>718538359 (OP)
Weird, I used video games specifically to kill the time while having a lot of fun. Did you forget to invest into something beforehand? Are you 16?

>wah wah wah i was a lazy dickhead and now im pushing 30 with nothing to show for it cus i had no self respect or will power
theres been a thread like this every day for the last 20 years, shut up you fucking man child and go do something with the only life youll ever have

>>718538359 (OP)
>If I could get that time back I would never touch another v*deogame again
I would still play them but only platformers and nintendo slop for maybe a few hours each weekend
I look back on all the rpgs, mmos, and especially mobas i've played for thousands of hours and realize they were never really fun

>>718542482
WHY KILL THE TIME WHEN YOU SHOULD BE LIVING IT INSTEAD

LIVE IT INSTEAD, BROTHER

i don't know what's worse. the doomers or the arrogant normalfags.

The problem with this idea of "wasted" is it implies you would have done something productive otherwise. You wouldn't have.

>>718538359 (OP)
Still not dying for Isreal

Most people don't achieve that much, those that do are born into wealth or very lucky.

I've collected excessive statistics on myself for the last 15 years (don't ask) and the clearest indicator of when games stopped being fun for me was when my 4chan usage increased
You could maybe argue that games dropped in quality around the same time but I don't really believe that

>>718543263
>Isreal
it's not

>>718538359 (OP)
I spent my childhood addicted to video games, my 20s addicted to heroin, and now my 30s back addicted to video games
i gotta say I prefer vidya

>>718543538
It sounds like you're a stupid person. I've been on 4chan longer than you, and the quality of the website shouldn't ruin what you already enjoy. All it does it stop you from trying new things, because the fanbases are so horrible you don't even want to speak to them.
If you don't like /v/, then change board maybe. Sometimes a person can be so unhappy with the board that they leave it. I did it with /tv/.

>>718538359 (OP)
You sound like a loser do you know you're a loser like This legit question because you have such a loser mentality

>>718538359 (OP)
>it's le videogames fault!
see, you're already thinkig like a retarded adult, time to get yourselff a fatty with kids and waste the other half of your life

There is actually nothing you could have done that would have served you better.
study and work: burnout
travel: waste of money
have sex: herpes
get married: divorce
your ancestors struggled every day to make the modern world for you so you could chill and play vidya, you were born in the comfiest era in history, don't waste it.

>>718545192
>your ancestors struggled every day to make the modern world for you so you could chill and play vidya, you were born in the comfiest era in history, don't waste it.

Does that mean you're going to leave 4chan?

>>718545192
And yet we are all unhappy and spend all day posting on some shitty website

>>718538359 (OP)
Having played video games once, I may say that I would do it all differently were I sent back.
But in actuality I am content in the knowledge that I did what I enjoyed doing and I enjoyed what I did. I would not have chosen otherwise, no matter how my life has turned out.

>>718545192
one could do everything right and be happy and also die in an accident, or get stabbed and die, or die of cancer despite being healthy. life is simply absurd. it's all out of your control ultimately. not to mention how much of your world and circumstances is shaped by genetics and parents you had no part in picking. the people who "make it" are a minority of a minority.

>>718545192
I'd argue that sex is a much bigger waste of time. Vidya can at least teach you how to get better (by looking up guides and better players, works for literally anything in life)

>>718545650
>it's all out of your control ultimately

Not really. To say you have no control is NPC shit. You always have control over what you see, as I showed here: >>718542445
I'll further demonstrate this by filtering the thread. No, I didn't have a second thread open. Think about what happened. It was the only thinking person on 4chan choosing to not be among stupid people.

>>718542323
Nah, I don’t really care. Hell, no one really cares even the police. People shoplift here so much that the police got tired of doing anything because they’re short staffed and it’s too much paperwork for them. I got a facial disfigurement, I have severe hypersalivation, I’ve always been super slow at learning. Doctors don’t care. Department of Rehab counselors don’t care. No one really cares. So, Im just going to do whatever I want and live like a roach

>>718545776
>You always have control
you really don't. that's acting like you're a god. you're just meat and bone and break easily.

>>718546527
This. Bad things happen to good people all the time. Just read on the news today that some 6’5 Chad got killed by an insane homeless guy because Chad was defending someone from the hobo. The news mentioned his height for some reason. Funniest shit ever. Then, there’s a ton of randos who randomly get cancer or catch some weird disease that fucks up their life. People, who had relatively normal lives, will never see the bottom of the barrel until life hits them harder than Hiroshima and Nagasaki

>>718547138
Not a professional, but you should probably look towards the simple life. All this exaggeration and undoubtedly isolation you do is certainly unhealthy for your mental.

>>718547138
growing old and without major injuries is a privilege for sure.

>>718547326
getting run over by a drunk or distracted driver is also unhealthy for you. as is getting mauled by a dog or injected with a dirty needle out of nowhere, or getting pushed onto train tracks.

what would you have done instead? lets be honest

>>718538359 (OP)
Blaming video games for wasting your life is like blaming alcohol for alcoholism or blaming McDonald's for getting fat.
All of these things can be enjoyed responsibly and are being enjoyed responsibly by millions of people.
You are trying to shift the blame of your addiction because you are incapable of taking responsibility.
If you got addicted to video games, there's an underlying issue with you which would have lead you to fall into a different addiction if video games weren't a thing.

>>718538359 (OP)
Videogames got me closer to computers and that made me study CS so I guess it was a good thing

I think I’m done with video games for a while. Trying to finally finish Xenoblade X but I think I’ll be done with games for a long while after that. Unless I’m making one.

>>718547326
I mean you don’t know what it’s like to be at the bottom of the barrel and that’s the only reason why you’re saying all of this. You never been born with a birth defect, never been born sickly, never been born slower than the average person, never been born with a ruined family.
You are a normie. You won. At least have the common decency to accept that you won.
>>718547353
It really is. I won’t lie. I have it sort of bad but others have it much worse so I don’t bitch too often. I’m pretty content in my filth. I’ve seen that vid in the guy with the iron lung. There are fates worse than being dead

>>718538359 (OP)
I wasted my whole life playing video games and I would do it again!

Games are the only things I’ve ever been obsessed with. They are my art and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. They’ve also been there for me when the world’s kicked me in the teeth. Without them I probably would have committed suicide in my darkest times.

>>718538359 (OP)
You still would have done nothing. It's not the vice, it's you.

>>718547883
>You never been born with a birth defect, never been born slower than the average person, never been born with a ruined family.

Lol. Lmao.

>>718547883
>You never been born with a birth defect, never been born sickly, never been born slower than the average person, never been born with a ruined family.
My dad was a deadbeat who I wouldn't see for months at a time and only dropped by to play father when it was convenient for him and he fucked off for good when I was 12 or 13. I was also born with a heart disorder.

>>718538359 (OP)
>nothing to show for it
What about your steam profile with all the cheevos and the screenshots?

>>718548827
Boohoo nigga. I never seen my father before and I grew up sleeping in the same bed as my brotha because we were dirt poor. I was born with a birth defect and not a single person has ever treated me well because of it. I was never good at school or working because I was always super slow. I’ve been having to spit mouthfuls of saliva every 10-15 mins and I can’t sleep without a towel in my mouth because life randomly gave me this and life can’t give me a break. Boohoo nigga. You are a normie piece of shit that wants to fit in with the losers because you can’t accept that you’re privileged. You’re a faggot poser

>>718538417
>you had fun
fpbp.

>>718549440
>

At least you are not born black OP, that would have sucked

>>718549551
HES LITERALLY ME! But why do you normie faggots wanna LARP as a loser? Why? For what fucking purpose?

>>718548827
As a fellow normalfag, the drooling guy is right, or at least not wrong. You should be grateful your heart defect hasn't killed you yet, and that your dad was only a deadbeat.
Nobody really wins, but you aren't losing half as hard as some.

I wish I could go back too so I could play the first three Ace Attorney games for the first time again

>>718549812
No, he's not. People's pain, suffering and misfortune isn't trivialized just because there are others that had it worse.
>Y-you had it good! Think of the starving niglets in Africa!
I don't give a shit about starving niggers and their existence has no bearing on me, my experiences and my pain.
Could I have had it worse? Sure. Doesn't change the fact my life is shit mostly due to factors out of my control.

>>718549654
Shut the fuck up faggot. Nobody gives a shit about you. Go blow your brains out or something.

>>718538359 (OP)
I wish I played more games.
Instead I wasted time getting an advanced degree (jobless now) and a relationship (alimony). You got off easy.

>>718550517
As a drooling retarded loser, I’m not trying to do that faggot shit where Im asking you to compare yourselves to the children in Africa. That’s retarded. The conversation originally started with this normie faggot: >>718545776
believing that “OUR DESTINY IS OURS TO CONTROL!!!! WE CAN RISE ABOVE EVERYTHING!“
Me and this guy: >>718546527
thought it was bullshit.

I don’t even know what the conversation is right now because I’m retarded. But, what I do know is you’re a LARPING faggot normie who doesn’t truly belong with the real losers. You are a pussy ass self-defeating faggot with daddy issues

hahahahaa. pussy ass faggot normie fuck hahahaa

People have been wasting hours on shit since time immemorial. There is no more glory in war, no more monuments to god being constructed, no more frontiers to explore. It's fine anon, young men sink their time into video games now. We're just in a transitional phase, and it's funny how much gaming makes the corpo class seethe

>>718546127
Sounds like you do care. You cared enough to express it in an obviously hurt way. Nobody wants to be alone.

I have no idea what it’s like being you anon. All I can tell you is that people respect someone who *tries*. Even for people without your issues, life can seem cruel and unfair. That’s why you shouldn’t be afraid of *trying*. It might be hard for you to believe, but people all feel the same way you do about themselves. Even beautiful people are immensely insecure.

>>718551105
>It might be hard for you to believe, but people all feel the same way you do about themselves. Even beautiful people are immensely insecure.
Oh man. I heard this copy & paste retarded ass faggot shit before. Motherfuckers who had everything going for them lecturing me. Fuckers who never been at the bottom of the damn barrel. What a fucking joke. Im going to keep living like I do because there’s no other option. Do you know why convicts just go back to prison? Imagine trying to tell a low iq idiot who was raised a retard to just get a job. This guy has to compete with everyone else who’s better than him in every way. Guess where Im at? No, the government doesn’t just hand out jobs to ugly drooling retards. If they did, I wouldn’t be here right now
