25+ thread. You must be 25+ to appease the tree

wtf

I have no problem with narrative/cinematic games, it's just a lot of them have a really poor story and would rather increase graphics over substance and storytelling.

I hate being an adult

I swear I’m gonna kill myself if I turn 25 and I’m still browsing this site

>5 hours of commute

Jesus christ, why would you do that to yourself? I had 1-2 hour commute and I put a cork in that shit 2 months into it.

>in my 25th year
>finding a video game I enjoy is harder than ever

End it.

I'll try this weekend, I usually try not to drink during the week and then go heavy on weekends.

However, I'm hooking up with some old friends this weekend and we're heading out drinking all day, it's like a bi-yearly meetup now. It seems as though the older you get the less you care about going out, or meeting up etc in general, because you've already done it before, so we only meetup rarely now.

Browsing Jow Forums isn't as bad as living through the site becoming worse and worse every year.

By the time you reach that age you don't care what you do, it seems sad now but as you get older nothing really matters. Fuck anyone else, and just do what you want to do.

26.

Been doing training with new hires all week, so my schedules all sorts of fucked since I usually do split shifts.

I'm gonna have the entire weekend off to actually play video games for once

Man it's gonna be weird.

im on an upward swing, enjoying vidya a lot. playing division with my bros and a few recent backlog games im looking forward to. started watching anime again for the first time in a couple of years, which is fun. knuckling down and being a hermit and saving money.
i had to go two weeks without drugs or alcohol because of a stomach medication i was on for an unrelated thing. might just keep going with sobriety (or relative sobriety) for a while. i started spending the money i would have spent on booze on things like games and books (got some perpective of the feel of paying $15 for a cocktail or junkfood for 30 minutes of pleasure but for some reason spending a week deliberating on paying the same for a game that will give me hours of fun)
starting to value my time in terms of my productivity, too. spending time learning to program instead of drinking has been good, too. for context i started weaning myself of drugs and alcohol a few months ago.
thanks for reading my diary
video games

Because I live too far from the area that has actually decent paying jobs. However living next to said area would cost way too much and I am trying to save money to get out of this hell hole. Everything else pays way too little or have shitty jobs.

This is how I feel but it took me until 28 to realize that.

Why is there a rangeban in the northeast? I just want to post a KF2 thread but it wont let me unless i get a pass. What is this jew bullshit.

Enjoying my Oculus Rift.

Its not perfect but fuck if I haven't waited a long time for shit like this.

How are you posting then?

35.

I think I'm going for the VR meme.
My lifestyle and work will probably result in dying relatively young, so I just want to pretend to be a space maverick and learn how to pilot a ship in Elite Dangerous for a few years.

Are you a driver?

Don't forget, you're here forever.

mid thirties here, i loved games as a kid but love them more since late 20s

most the time... then i have those days where i come home tired and cbf playing anything. To be honest speedrunning and cheevo hunting helped me a lot; without a goal apart from 'beat the game' it was getting pretty stale.

I'm not a tranny and i won't grind thousands of attempts to shave off half a second, but i give myself decent challenges and learn the zips in old castlevanias/mega man 2 etc and shit for sure.

No, but I do rotating 24/7 and the smoking jew is catching up.

Oh I accepted it. I go to /v/ sometimes but I spend almost all of my time on /a/ and /jp/ these days. /v/ has some extreme highs and lows, most of the time it's lows.

26 with a week off, back in work on Monday. Got Far Cry 5 taking up my vidya time now when I get back from visiting family.
That game makes me wonder how a week or two in Montana for a fishing vacation would be.

It is in the overall scheme of things when 70-80 isn't uncommon.

you're not old until you're past 50 desu

29/recently single.
I drink before during and after work I feel i've earned that right after working a soulcrushing job for 7yrs.

I stopped lurking after 7 years specifically now just to tell you that people who call achievements cheevos are faggots

i forgot to mention, because i am being honest here, i really often need alcohol so that i can forget about everything first

The weed helps my thoughts shut up.

I'm getting old, those syllables i would waste on you to keep you in chin retirement are going to be some of my last breaths.

27 here
200+ backlog
looking for work but pickings are slim when you don't have a car
Want to drink but I just got over a week of pissing blood

I'm sure I will figure something out but till then I have my vidya

Anyone play any MMOs and if so, what is your MMO of choice?

Same, i sometimes do that too. More often than usual lately because i got some for free and felt like giving it a try again. It really gives you some tunnel vision for games.

Spending all my goddamn time either working ro playing warframe/AOE2

Really need to start playing games I haven't touched.

Attached: games.jpg (265x244, 15K)

I can't play MMOs. I hate talking to people to much to play them. That and the grinding is ass.

are you ok after pissing blood my main dude?

30 in July. Bought zero vidya this year. Still playing Gran Turismo, XCOM2 & Ass Creed Origins.

Probably only going to end up buying 2 games this year.

Feels good man.

How did this become an alcoholic general? Ah well, 27 and I’ve been told I definitely won’t see 30 if I don’t stop drinking. It sucks but I enjoy it too much. I can’t enjoy vidya sober and I’m too uncoordinated to play it in my normal state so I normally just spend half an hour running around in circles in a single player game before giving up.

You know you're getting old when in your late 20s you start looking for games like pic related.

At least in this game though, you get time bonuses for answering quickly so it's not total brainless snail pace stuff.

A wave of depression and self loathing followed by realizing most modern video games are bad and all the things you loved no longer interest you.

Happy Birthday!

I'm tempted, but low on expendable cash at the moment. How is the VR? I kinda have my sights on the PSVR bit cheaper and simpler, and quite a few games finally releasing. I'd love to play RE7 with it.

27. Getting through witcher 3 and its my first witcher game. Sure, gameplay is down right bland. But i sure do enjoy the side and the main quest. Other than that, dota 2 is my bread and butter with over 2000 hrs in it. Only when the squads is online though. Got valkaryia in my mind afterward to finish. Entering wizardryhood which is something i do not want to do. I happen to have terrible low self esteem issue and high standard due to my coppious amount of porn i watched. Not anymore though, porned was kicked to the curb. Picked up swimming for healthy hobby. Feeling okay now, find girls more attractive but the low self esteem issue is still remaining. End of blog, so did i basically describe a typical failure in life?

Like everyone a slow decent to death.
But you still have video games. amiright

depression mostly

Save up for a vive/rift and you won't regret it.

Playan Squad.

That already happened in the months leading up to this. Least I got an X Files box set and some new headphones.

fuck. see you next year then.

Well at least you can get past the tree now.

Wait for third gen

happy bday bruh

ass blood is nothing, usually hemorroids or asshole wasn't ready for your loaf basically, trust me

Most modern vidya is shit but there is still millions of old vidya worth playing. One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give to people who are finding less and less vidya they like is to stop looking into genres you though you didn't like.

You’re about to enter the last chance saloon. If you’re life isn’t in order by the year’s end then it’s over.

Enjoy it while you still can, son.

Nothing much user tbqh
It's turning 28, 29 when it's starts sinking in, whatever you've been doing for the past ten years is what you'll be doing for the next 30-40

I can post but i can't make threads. Makes zero sense.

/v/ used to be good, a lot more original and gold threads, now you're lucky to even find one good thread a week. It's just the popularity of it which has changed it.

Every now and then though you still find that one golden goose thread that makes up for all the shit.

I'm pretty sure my love life is the most hilarious and depressing thing on the planet, and you are not me, so you're fine.

cont...
i mean if you get a checkup mention it, TotalBiscuit made a huge point about this. ANYTHING that is wrong like that to you, get it looked at.

Personally i just cbf. I'll pass away whenever it wants to happen.

LARIGHT BOIS i got some adderall and some xanax for the come down what game should i play for the next 8 hours? KF2 or vermintide?

I already feel like an old man who is tired of pointless bickering, that is why I can't stand multiplayer games anymore. Hell I even have a couple friends who enjoy starting fights over literally nothing and the idea of it is just so childish I can't stand it. Same shit happens on /v/.

I lost my job recently so I've been playing ESO all day and watching a few select autists on Twitch in the evening. I also could've had a gf but I said nah, I prefer chilling on my own.

That's not true user.
Don't lie to the boy.

Ya, the worst part was blood clots started to form in my blatter and that made you feel like you had to piss every 10 minuets and after you pass a clot it feels like your pissing yourself for about 10 minuets after.

It's because I drink way to much, I just need to lay off the hard liquor for a few weeks.

The problem is there are so many threads not about video games at all, not even in the least and no one does anything about it. The meme of "what is the X of vidya" has grown too out of control.

After investing my youth into Ultima, EQ, WOW and a few others I can't go back to MMO. I tried FF14 about a year back and it confirmed I can't get back into them.

I literally have 5.3 TB of porn. I don't know why i'm saving it all, i'm not a fucking server or archive. I just like it all but ultimately I never go through it to fap.
Plus I need to sort it out and that's effort.

Oh I know, been living with this ruined ass for a good three or four years now.

It usually gets ruined by coffee. So I kind of stay off that.

For like a week before I cave. Then it's back to reality and the bloody mess.

I always feel so out of place in these threads since I still find a lot of good games to play, new and old, and I enjoy vidya like never before. I actively play them too.

Delete your empornium account.

What I'm most depressed about is that I'll never travel space more than anything. My Mum being actively anti-space funding pisses me off.

i agree with everything you said

keep digging though, there's stuff out there that will catch your interest, dont mean to sound patronising.

im trying to get into guitar again, aim to learn a handful of songs per week or 1 hard one at least. But again, alcohol helps this a lot. I'm no saint.

I think I am fine with not really drinking, smoking or doing drugs but man being a bachelor I eat like shit.

Well I figured there's no reason to keep anyone around when I don't really want to spend time with them. I would come home from work and just enjoyed the peace and quiet and the lack of people around me. Having to take a girl out and do 'relationship stuff' together is just so tiring.
