We get it, you found a gf, good for you
I'm not a woman so i don't have mood swings.
Gaming drastically improved when I stopped chasing trends and focused on things I would enjoy. I also stopped trying to go through games so quickly and enjoy a comfortable pace.
same idk what happened but something just clicked and I started to appreciate all games even the shit ones.
Gaming is in a rough spot unless you like to slurp up LGBTQ propaganda video games.
The only two good games we got year are Pizza Tower and AC6.
Spider man 2 was pretty solid
>Pizza Tower
Tranny
>Gaming is in a rough spot unless you like to slurp up LGBTQ propaganda video games.
nah
everyone's just playing the same good games from 10-15 years ago that they enjoy being honest
out of everyone on my steam only 2 people are playing shit that's recent
Robocop was good but it plays like a game from 2004.

My enjoyment of vidya is always the same, vidya is the reason why I live.
34er
I just play to relax now
I dont play tryhard games I just want to turn my brain off. Which makes it pleasant, but i dont think ill ever be mindblown again like when I was a kid
Video game music is much worse than it was tho

Get a skill-building hobby. Go outside. Deliberately do things other playing vidya. It'll change your life.
Give some examples
Skiing
Painting
Rock Climbing
Playing an instrument
Running a homelab server
Hiking
Working out
Reading books
Traveling
All that sounds extremely gay.
You're a homosexual for whining on an asian cartoon site. Would be right up your alley
Seethe, cope and dilate.

I can smell you from this comment alone
Hobbies that you don't make money off of are gay and waste of time
Then don't have any and work 90 hours a week. No one is gonna stop you.
But you're going to keep coming here and complaining your mindless onions stimulation isn't entertaining you anymore.
Bro if you can't make money off it you're not good and no one cares
1. Why do you need other people to care about shit you care about?
2. That isn't even necessarily true. You can make a really good pie, but the pie market is hyper competitive so only top 1% of pie makers can make it. So you maybe you settle being in the 75th percentile and enjoy your really good pie with company?
We can't escape our monkey social ladder brain, if we realize we're not in the top tier of skill at something we stop caring and only do it out of habit, but like to ourselves and tell ourselves we actually care. This is 100% irrefutable fact
I hope you are trolling, but you can acknowledge your flaws in something and still enjoy it.
Video game related: I play fighting games with my brothers , and objectively we're all shit. However, idc because it is super fun.
Well I hope that lasts for you but I think everyone gets bored of stuff unless they're continually learning and getting better (ie top-level of skill, good enough to get paid)
who cares what you think you're a fucking moron
Ok loser you know it's true
Then you do different shit. Plus wanting to get better =/= wanting to get money from it.
I want to be a better artist, but making money from it is such a hassle I have no desire to do it.
>things that you do for fun and relaxation are gay and a waste of time
I didnt know Andrew Tate browsed Ganker
Anon who made that post here, I will list some examples that don't demand a huge buy-in to get started. You may find that hobbies which allow you develop a craft or skill tend to be hugely valuable to your time, even if you're not doing it for days at a time. Being able to get into that meditative state where you're concentrating but not stressed has massive benefits to your mental health, it makes your brain re-calibrate its baseline for needing constant external stimulation (short form videos, grindy vidya, etc). I could write a 10,000 word post about this, but there are better people than me who can explain this kind of thing like Dr. K on YT.
In general, if your hobby also has a community of other hobbyists you can join, that is a big benefit but no required.
Growing plants, especially food plants. Can be done out of pots or buckets if you don't have a garden (I grow tomatoes and eggplants out of Home Depo buckets and they're tasty af)
Any kind of athletic practice, from yoga to team sports
Learning to play an instrument or other form of making music
Drawing / painting
Waling & hiking (simply walking for 20-30 minutes a day does all kinds of good things for your mental & physical health)
Model making, either with plastic or materials like wood and paper.
DIY electronics
Deliberately performing your own home or car maintenance and repair
I hesitate to include stuff like learning a software or programming since you're sitting in front of a computer, but those are cool too. Do not neglect your physical health, you will pay it with interest as early as your 30s.
Do this, and I promise not only will your quality of life improve, but you will enjoy vidya even more despite spending fewer hours playing it.
Gay, the only meanwhile hobby is smashing gash
I forgot to include things like card games or TTRPGs, or miniature games. Those are great hobbies too, especially if there is a fair depth of learning that goes into them. Hobbies don't have to be typical holistic suburban white people stuff, you can just do something that interesting to you. I've got a friend who's a shaolin master when it comes to lockpicking, and he is a giant fucking nerd about his lock collection. His lifestyle is such that he would never actually need that skill, but who cares. Some people are really into busses and trains. Some people are into collecting kitchen utensils.
>smashing gash
kek, that's one I haven't heard before.
I also started to enjoy the concept of skill building hobbies. I never got into them because every time I did and then find out how its applied to the "real world" it was nothing but lazy shit with no appreciation for the craft. See: art and programming. So since I've also kept those things as hobbies, I'm a lot happier just getting better on my own merits.
I still love games
But I struggle to buy more than 2-3 releases the year they come out on. I remember buying a lot more games back then with less money to boot.
yeah, I started playing older games
I used to love gaming , now I can't enjoy it, in fact I can't enjoy anything anymore, im 25 I hope by the time I'm 30 i will be able to enjoy gaming again
I'm in the middle. I've found happiness when I just played games in the era I grew up in. Modern games suck ass and I'm playing retro games I've never played before and loving the fuck out of them. I don't know if it's turbo nostalgia or what, but once I accepted that I'm a /vr/ fag and only occasionally play new games (pizza tower is the only 2023 game I've played this year as an example) I've enjoyed gaming a lot more.

Don't have to worry about expenses, most stuff is taken care of by parents. Money can go to whatever stupid shit you want.
>22-28
You're on your own. Making rent is tough enough. Games feel like impossible expenses and you're grinding to get ahead.
>29+
You have an established career, more money than you probably know what to do with, and you're established enough in your career that you don't have to work as hard to keep up. Now you can spend your disposable income on games without worry.
I think there are always ups and downs, whether it's the industry itself or what one juggles in life.
Right now I'm enjoying games but almost exclusively indies.
>retard can't even wojakspam properly
embarrassing, especially since you get defensive when someone calls your precious meme stupid.
>>age 5-21

You stop enjoying most things as you come to understand just how badly israelites and israeli influences have and are still wrecking the world.
I started enjoying life and by extension vidya once I became a nihilist.
Abandon all delusions of control and enjoy the ride because there is nothing afterward.
I started to enjoy real life after 30...
I miss my games and VNs
i've never played wow but am enjoying hc wow kek
27, never stopped. Sounds like a skill issue.
Wasn't so much I thought they sucked but I barely played anything from like 17-22
>I started enjoying life and by extension vidya once I became a nihilist.

This
Aaaaand this
Here come the mad christcucks, what do you believe in again? Ah yes, a magical carpenter raised by a cuck and born from a pedo god, funny.
Yes but I wish I hadn't. I love games so much. Way too much. Is it okay to just game your life away? I like it. Why does it feel so wrong?
I'm 38 and enjoy vidya. I actually just beat Breathedge tonight and it was pure kino.
I'm very hyped for the sequel.
If you're not elect (which is something you should have figured out in your early teens), but also not completely transparent to yourself, 29 is about the age that you can't help but accept the mediocrity that is your existence, hence the resurgence in enjoyment of hedonistic entertainment that many experience around this time. You've given up, you've accepted your lot in life, you're not going to try any more, you've killed that little angel on your shoulder telling you that you should be doing something better with your time, you can finally enjoy your vidya in peace.
Ouch
The only thing i kind of regret is spending 5k hours playing fucking mobas.
Thanksfully im permanently out of that shithole
It really has nothing to do with age, but the corruption of the West by israelites. They've gotten too cocky in their subversion.
I'm 30 now and I still find most new games uninteresting, which is good because it prevents my backlog from growing. I only play like 2 or 3 new games a year and the rest are old games I never got around to that I know I'll enjoy.
Not really, games are getting worse with age.
That's not age. That's corporate fuckery and "economics" just have to be more discerning and not jump on the latest shit
>age 22-28
Spent all my time chasing ass. I still gamed, but it wasn't as important as getting drunk and fucking. Did a lot of both and was a bit of a douche and ultimately ended with little to show. Probably should have at least built a useful skill line mechanical or technical knowledge of some sort. But i did learn that getting laid is just law of averages and practice. You increase you chances by getting out there, and the more you get out the more you practice your social skills which ultimately turns you from constantly spilling your spaghetti to someone who can hold a convo. Long as you have the will to accept your mistakes and not keep making them.
>people like to talk about themselves give them a chance to and they'll think you're cool to hang with
Otherwise gaming is alright, but not at the expense of the rest of your life
I'm 38, I've generally enjoyed games throughout my life, but the past few years I have played less and less. I've come to appreciate slower paced single player games, but I use to love sweaty arena shoots like quake, unreal tournament, tribes, titanfall, what have you.
This year I've actually had loads of fun with vidya. More so than any other recent year save for a big release once or twice a year.
>Jagged Alliance 3, great character banter, fun system, makes me want to try 2.
>Hi-Fi Rush, fun little action game with the OSTOTY. Lighthearted comedy that doesn't shove anything super political down your throat. Jokes actually fucking land.
>System Shock Remake, solid recreation of the original game with no shitty cut corners. Made me replay SS2 for a bit and cautiously hyped for a SS2 remake.
>Armored Core 6, fun arcade-style mecha game in fucking 2012+11.
>Baldur's Gate 3, Act 1 and 2 are greatodaze. An arguably-AAA competent WRPG in 2023.
>RE4Remake, besides the shit Ada VA and yellow paint on everything another well done remake.
>Risk of Rain Returns, tired of the remakes but atleast this one is also well done. Desperately needed just like System Shock 1, adds actual working multiplayer, more survivors, alt skills for all survivors, and new items.

Why do you cocksuckers here act like your 30s are the last years of life?
Because by 2030 israelites are going to make you their slaves, as they have the US.
It's the end of the last vestiges of youth, israelites have nothing to do with it dork
Are you me? I wonder if you also went through the same cycle. In my teens and college years I pretty much only played online multiplayer games. Stopped giving a fuck about them as friend circle drifted apart. Then around 30 I started hitting up all of the Single player and couch co-op stuff with my family that I missed, as well as getting nostalgic of stuff I loved as a kid. Fuck online gameing, I will never bother with that shit again. Offline gaming is kino.
i only find competitive multiplayer games fun but i'm getting too old to be good at them -_-
Currently 23 and games did stop hooking me at 22. I can't wait that long.

I feel sorry for jadedcucks
I recently came to a very simple conclusion
I actually really like video games and playing them
It's this shithole and other social media site, and talking to most you that I can't stand
