At what age did you outgrow videogames? Did you find a new hobby?

Is the only thing I can find. The post appears legit (though eerily, not a single comment picks up on the "wife's boyfriend" gag) but with a different picture

I'm starting to lose it at around mid-twenties too. Just feels like a waste of time and makes me feel like deadweight for some reason. I'll go on a binge if i'm feeling bored and end up replaying an old game but i always end up quitting. Just doesn't feel right anymore

When my gaming PC died :(

I grew out of it but haven't found a hobby to replace it

yikes @ this yet-to-be diagnosed depression

I used to basically do this when I was 21.

Weirdly I actually got a lot of sex during that period.

Go figure.

I never even played video games.
My dad introduced me to sexual pleasures at age of 11.

>though eerily, not a single comment picks up on the "wife's boyfriend" gag
that's because the title doesn't say wife's boyfriend

I played a lot less after high school, but I hope to never 'outgrow' video games. As an adult it's overkill to play too much too often, but they're such an amazing medium and it'd be a shame to ignore them outright.

pretty much this. after i graduated college i didn't feel the need to stare at a screen pressing buttons.

i'll still play rock band with my friends but i'd rather go hiking, biking, or sit on my ass browsing this shitty site.

the only people i know who still play vidya are similar to the OP picture. spend all their money on this shit and play it for a day. hell, they liked that "Detroit" game where it's just QTEs.

Stopped playing them around 20. There's no challenge in them after you git gud, so it feels pointless and repetitive. Even playing online in shooters and shit isn't as fun as it used to be because I just wipe the floor with everyone and its never close enough to be fun.

The last game I played seriously was an obscure 4x game with some autismally dedicated players hellbent on micromanaging everything to perferction - that was the last time I had fun, because their reactions to my chaos were calculated and hard-hitting while i was just running and gunning, trying to take on the entire galaxy all at once.. It was fun but the time imvestment is hard for me to justify doing it again.

why so?

20

21, still playing /vr/ and pixelshit on my ThinkPad.
I don't think there's anything wrong with games as a medium, and there are some good stories to be had if you avoid AAA shit. High mechanical skill arcade style games are pretty fun time wasters too. I have grown out of stuff like empty open world sandboxes and Skinner Box MMOs though. As much as I would love to hardline some MMO escapism they're just not good.

Same here, it's just way harder to enjoy them now.

I picked up lifting, electronics, woodworking, outdoor shit, etc.

My goal is to eventually have this many hobbies trmm.net/Main_Page

Because depression is no laughing matter and a lot of people around here continue to blame external sources (games for example) rather than actually tackling the root.

I'm playing cookie clicker right now.

i hope i never "outgrow" them desu
although when i was a teen a could play for 8 hours straight and now it's rare that i have the patience to play for more than 2, even if i have the whole day off

Your opinion doesnt really matter, since you are essentially still a child, zoomer.

>though eerily, not a single comment picks up on the "wife's boyfriend" gag
Because the title is made up you dipshit

>they're such an amazing medium

They're all just an endless loop of jumping through hoops. You beat one so that you can move on to the next and repeat it all again. After you do enough of them, you realize that you did not really achieve anything. You wasted years of your life mastering a bunch of bullshit. It was all just pointless masturbation.

what if it's because life is shit? once you realize that most people would rather waste their day in front of a screen, it becomes even more depressing and dystopian.

i'm beginning to think moving to Alaska would be fun as shit because I could be outdoors surrounded by mountains and connect with nature.

The most boomer post I've seen this day.

15. I got into sports and the only vidya I would ever sparingly waste time on would be Madden.
Best decision I ever made.

You can simplify every single activity this way. Not recognizing you're doing so is a sign of immaturity user.
It's kind of amazing how staunch anti-games can be even more mentally stunted than anime avi cunts like

>vasectomies are bad
Enjoy never letting your dick come in direct contact with a vagina unless you want to spend the next couple of decades of your life taking care of a screaming ungrateful brat.

now I just alternate a couple of hours once a week between playing vns, crpgs and making redstone circuits in minecraft

If life is shit, why would moving to another location where life continues to exist make it better? You're quite literally and figuratively running away from your problems.
Again, tackle the root. You will not solve depression by moving (although if you want to move by all means go right ahead), you will not solve depression by playing games or avoiding them. That just isn't how it works babe.

Cultural differences, my friend. The western obsession with extending childhood indefinitely is quite foreign to me. I was shocked when I found out that most 16 year olds still live with their parents in America.

I did stop playing for a while after I finished my masters, but sort of rekindled the flame during my PhD, and now it's my goto for relaxing when I don't feel like reading books or playing instruments.

I'm sure I'll hit a phase again where I don't want to play anymore.

I won't say there isn't an under underlying cause but i feel that it's for the better. Vidya has been dragging me down since forever. I've been stuck on my engineering course burning up time and money. I end up using vidya as an escapism to my problems. When i fail a course i end up dropping my motivation to 0 and coming back to videogames but it doesn't even feel good. It's like an addiction. It's not good for me and i'm even thinking about selling my PC. If that is not the root than what is? Besides my studying skills being next to none

bait post. working at 16 is common currency where I live at but since marriage is more of a convenience made by families rather than a willfull ceremony you have to wait until both families have gathered enough funds for both the wedding and building a house for the new couple.

Yeah and people in italy live with their parents until they get married. I know 35 year olds living with their parents and nobody thinks its weird over there.

Probably around 19 or 20. I must have been a sophomore in college and I slowly started playing less and less. I'm 24 now and I recently tried to play again with my one friend. We used to play WoW and other games for hours and we couldn't play anything for more than 10 minutes.

I'm not sure if the games got worse or I just outgrew them. Maybe a little of both. I got into biking, but slowly lost interest. Who knows what I'll be into next..

>If life is shit, why would moving to another location where life continues to exist make it better?
maybe i should clarify, society is shit. all people do is sit on facebook and snapchat, or stare at a tv screen playing games.

it is rare to find people who actually want to spend time outdoors and do activities with substance. I asked a group of friends to go hiking.
>but user, there's no wifi or A/C outdoors, we're not interested

people are fucking lazy slobs. not to mention women are boring and, just like the above, would rather play on their phone or binge-watch Netflix.

I don't feel like I blend in with society as it stands. I believe that's what causes my mental issues.
