Yeah it made me a socially isolated shut in weirdo who sits on his computer all day and cannot hold a conversation with his coworkers.
Oh wait, those are my genes not videogames.
no if anything after i stopped taking antidepressant and plaxing vidyer a few month back there is a big gaping hole in me now
im also failing university because im moronic at 30 years old
honestly thinking about jumping off of a high building
im such a fricking failure it has become comedy
life is like a video game. just play every day and when you get stuck ask reddit
most likely the reason you are a failure is because you are >blind to your own flaws >too afraid to fix them >too afraid of failure to try to win >blind to your own victories >unironically held back by mental illness >unironically held back by physical illness
some shit like that.
>taught my ESL ass some English >introduced me to historical fiction and thus to history >introduced me to many complex concepts about society >allowed me to play online with people and realize how dumb they are and learn how to live in a world where they are that dumb >let me make friends based on shared tastes in games >introduced me to good music
The only downside was it indirectly led me to this shitty nihilist doomer board
it's like the one thing keeping me from roping by keeping me in a perpetual state of distraction
but at the same time vidya prevents me from ever doing anything more "substantial" with my life
so it's both
Yes,but Im really good at picking up knowledge,I know so much shit I feel superhuman sometimes,I also lift weights do cardio and eat carnivore mostly(blood,liver,meat)
I was one of the most fit guys in my class until I moved away from my grandmothers pool. It wasnt games that made me fat it was moving away from the physical activity I loved the most.
It sucks being in the US without a personal pool because we treat our public spaces like crap so you either swim in mostly pisswater or you pay $50 a month just to swim.
50 a month is not that bad.
the hard part is the 15 minute drive and public changing rooms and other people existing there
i have social anxiety and moobs
Yeah the drive sucks, my closest option nowadays is like $80 at the YMCA that is a 25 min drive and I live in a major city. None of the gyms around me have a pool.

It depends on the location, I live in a major city, but one without public transportation or walking/biking infa. So in miles its only like 10, but actually driving there is frustrating.

10 miles there and ten miles back. That is going to add up very quickly. You need your own equipment dude.

Its hard to have my own pool in an apartment.
why? just poo water? brain eating amoebas?
Yeah there wasnt a time we didnt test the water and find fricking stomach virus in it. Enough that by law we should have shut the pool down, but the owners said no, dont.

My apartment has a pool as well, but I worked in apartment maintenance for a bit and that scared me from ever using one kek.
This, I used to live right next door to one of the biggest skateparks in north america. Skated everday for years. When I moved away for work I blew up like a balloon, total Randy from Trailer Park Boys. I know it's connected to me not running around like an idiot for hours everyday. I still eat the same way I did as a kid.
side note this thread got no replies the last 3 times i made it with genuine ontopic, twitter screencap, and coombait OPs respectively. but frogposting allows it to live to 30 replies. this says something about our society
Playing video games (especially RPGs) as a kid accelerated my growth in reading, vocabulary, and computer skills. These skills directly relate to my current job, one that has allowed me to live a comfortable life. I would say there's been no benefit to me playing video games once I got to high school.
i think it depends on the game and the person
like I played league as a kid and it taught me how to pay attention to my own mistakes and improve over time which i apply daily in my career
but other people play it to gamble their rank and blame others for their own problems.
Playing runescape had a huge impact on my executive function. I started thinking in terms of efficiency because of it and it's made a huge difference in my life.

I wish I'd gotten dat promised 100k starting. I'd be surrounded by papparazi and when asked the secret of success, I'd say, "heh...well, y'see, it all started on playing Mario. Mario taught me perseverance. And the teamwork I learned on Warcrafts! RPGs too!"
I could brag about it while BTFO'ing losers on shit blog threads like this.
Alas, I didn't make the cut. I think the interviewer didn't like my shirt. Or it was my face. Now I can't do that.
No, not at all. But it sure is fun.
is it not a positive impact on your life to have fun sometimes
Let's just agree to disagree.
Playing Shenmue has helped me cope with being in unknown situations and foreign countries better than I otherwise would have.
Yeah, I don’t care about all the terrible shit outside of my control everyone else lets ruin their lives anymore
I hate video games.
Yeah it made me a socially isolated shut in weirdo who sits on his computer all day and cannot hold a conversation with his coworkers.
Oh wait, those are my genes not videogames.
>hold a conversation with his coworkers
What do your coworkers want to talk about the newest marvel drivel or something actually interesting.
I don't remember since I don't really listen to what they say.
It taught me English. And unfortunately Japanese.
Yes, I haven't killed myself
Why unfortunately?
Yeah it got me into CS and a couple good friends that share my tastes in things outside of games.
yeah i think games helped me have a social life
It helped keep me busy when I was kicking opiates out of my life
i feel this with lesser drugs
that one sounds hard to quit
Same

Me too man, my life full of failure. I'm a little older than you. Don't beat yourself up over it.
how do you cope?
im not the one to compare to others but i cant even get a basic job right
>how do you cope?
I spend a lot of time walking. I'm sorry, I have no real suggestions for you on how to cope.
its okay thanks for responding
im quite at my wits end and reading another message eases my spirit

I met my wife on the Ganker minecraft server.
34
Too depressed to live, too afraid to kms
So I've just decided I am going to continuously distract myself until I die, that's all I'm capable of
there isnt much more to life than that anyway. happiness is when your body rewards your brain with happy chemicals and that's it
Nope
It helps me cope
It influenced me into studying Computer Science, which is one of the few studies which is demand in my country
No. It destroyed my life and body.
I was one of the most fit guys in my high school class, then I got a subscription for WoW.

i know people who got married from wow albeit
did you just not make any friends from it
No I was a sweaty tryhard there are no well adjusted people playing this game at a high level.
Now I am just sweaty just not in the game.
Yeah.

I didnt see the other ones frogposter, I just got home from work and I am just sitting drinking my Arnold Palmer before making dinner.
i basically grew up in tf2/gmod/css voice chats
Yeah, it keeps me off this hellhole of a site when I find a game that keeps me engaged. I consider that a net positive.

A Furry VN helped push me to go back to school and try to get a Cybersecurity degree, so there's that.
Echo?
yeah.
Life is not all about working a 9-5. Being an adult is not all about giving up on your imagination.
Yes, racing sims, got into motorsport, have a deeper and better understanding of physics and mechanics than most people because of it.
that's cool.
I feel like those are the only worthy type of video games.
theres a lot of shit that is just masturbatory
so many games, so little time. my ps5, ps4 backlog is massive
personally i dont pay for online
Well, it's not drugs
Xi Jinping calls gaming, 'spiritual opium'
I know the great Chinese leader wants the best for me
Yes, great leader pooh knows how much honey you should have access to.
xi wants better for me than fricking mihoyo does
i think it depends on the game and the person
like I played league as a kid and it taught me how to pay attention to my own mistakes and improve over time which i apply daily in my career
but other people play it to gamble their rank and blame others for their own problems.
For normies, yes. For NEETs, no.
Mario Kart 64 for me used to shitty driving controls, so when I eventually got my own car, it handled like a dream in comparison.
>for me
*got me
Sorry. I'm phoneposter scum.
Nothing has had a positive impact on my life, everything is a function of effort in product out. Everything comes with a cost.
I hope you all one day find a woman to love and start a family.
Why would you wish something so terrible on so many people?
He's a sadist
im engaged

I think so.
autistically playing rpgs has made me a better writer.
yeah
