At what age did you realize that video games are a waste of time?

12, because I fell in love with money

21
now at 27 I realise that life is just a waste of time so I may as well enjoy it playing games

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to enjoy games like I once did. Feels like I get mad more than I enjoy myself

same

runescape taught me good skills like trading and smelting ore

fuck you

I simply can't play games for hours on end anymore like I used to. I just get bored.

How'd you achieve that? Streaming?

Unironically, Mario Odyssey is the best game I've played in years.

Well I just sold ingame currency for .2 BTC, of course bad ROI but nice to get something back for playing a game I enjoyed

After about 5 years full time NEET. Played all the original MMOs. Eq, ac, daoc, swg. Got bored and sold game pieces for a living until the Chinese put me out of business. Once you get paid to play games it's hard to go back to normal gaming. Now I treat real life like a MMO. It's a lot more fun than any game has to offer.

This, and all the team PvP games are designed for winning/losing 50/50... you don't get the winning feeling enough any more

I went through a very long period after high school where I couldn't enjoy video games no matter how much I force myself to play, but now, 10 years later, something clicked, and I'm able to enjoy them again.

ok Felix

This sold off my prized collection thousands of dollars worth of games. All the video games in the world couldn't fill the empty hole I have inside of myself. Not even cocaine and alcohol could fill it, some days I dont even know why I go on anymore. I'm too afraid to pull the trigger but I stare down that barrel often.

>hate on vidya for no reason
>implying binge watching Netflix is any better

even worse are people who watch twitch streamers instead of playing games themselves

13. First time I jerked off I immediately lost interest in video games. Kinda weird, but was life changing.

no its not.

First time I jerked off I got more interested in video games

i don't hate vidya, i've been playing some gothic 2 myself

20-21, when I finally kicked my 5 year League of Legends addiction and subsequent 2 year mount and blade addiction. Haven't been as obsessed with vidya since

first time I jerked off was to the monster slayer in Ninja Gaiden 1 with big anime tiddies, so it might have lengthened my gaming history

37 boomer here

Anyone who isn't a brainlet knew from age 15 they were a waste of time, with a few exceptions. Many video games taught me history, strategy, general knowledge, reaction time, hand to eye coordination, but importantly they built many friendships. My best friends are all people I used to game with after school, or go round to their house to play FIFA, etc.

I'm 25 now and still jump online once a week if friends are online because its a good way to catch up with them and relax. But make no mistake, if you play the same game every day on your own, please reassess ASAP.

if this is you felix, start your next video by staring into the camera for 7 seconds, saying nothing, no expression what so ever

I used to make gaming YouTube videos and became depressed when no one watched them...

Realised they were a waste of time and became a workaholic.
Now realising the wage slave life isn't for me.

Now the channel I used has millions of views and thousands of subscribers despite me not uploading in over a year.

Tempted to go back but don't want to do gaming. Advice anyone?

This.

After quake IV was released *sip*

Before I turned 16. Havent played since GTA vice city. Yes I'm a 30 year old boomer.

Just posted the same thing over here

felix please post pic of marzia butthole pls i swer 2 god

how did you get all those views? which games

i knew they were a waste of time from the very start. didn't stop me from continuing to play them, though.

I honestly just play games cause they’re a fun way of saving money. People blow all their money having fun by drinking, gambling, partying, etc. By having a job and keeping to myself I’m able to afford nice vacations and delicious food.

What is not a waste of time?

I knew as a kid in the '80s, but I didn't care, because they were fun. Playstation 2 was the last video game era for me. Waste of time and money with no positive side. Plus /v/fags irl have no redeeming qualities, and I don't want to be like them.

Money not spent on stupid shit can be invested.

Happened with me when I mirrored dankula video

Stop jerking off to bad shit.

Videogames are very cheap entertainment.

not if you are able to enjoy them

I realized at 33

24 maybe

I realised at 30, best game i played was the original ghost recon on xbox, met all my best frineds threw it who i still see today down the pub and airsofting we probably buy one game a year and play it for 2 weeks and get bored, i think what killed xbox live is partys as you cant meet new people, along with games going full sjw. Also what fucks you up the most when you turn into the boomer thats getting teabagged by some 15 year old. Hopefull VR changes thins up a bit

14-16

Started programming more around that time and dropping the gaming world.

when i was 21. later i realised that everything else is a waste of time too

What took you so long

about 17. Minecraft took up some time in college but I've had no desire to play since.

it's weird how some people come to just not like them but other people my age never stopped playing from adolescence to their late 20s. I'm not trying to be edgy or say they're immature, I just have had no interest since I was a teen.

Maybe 18, can't remember.

>do shrooms this summer
>realize I've never lived up to my potential and wasted countless opportunities
>stop vidya
>start reading and working towards making more money wagecucking
>get red pilled on (((them))) in the process
>can no longer enjoy TV and movies now due to blaringly obvious propaganda

Books are the true entertainment red pill

Cringe

This is what happens when a retard starts reading, they become more retarded.
