I really can’t explain the feeling I get when I think about something creepy happening while I’m driving. Just the feeling that you’re somewhat safe inside of a vehicle, given how quick you could flee, combined with the loneliness and isolation of a dark abandoned road making me feel vulnerable. I wish movies/games had more night driving horror.
I just had a revelation that I do not enjoy video games at all
I just play them because it's the only opportunity I have to feel superior to other people but then I lose anyway even after tens of thousands of hours of practice and I want to kill myself
I am done
I'm never playing video games again
>Swear off all liquids because the one you tasted is horrible
You are merely learning why competitive gaming is dying. The people that are good, are REALLY good. So much so that the vast majority of players are outclassed at all times of the day, so they walk from the genre, not the entire hobby.
This another thing you need to learn: FRICK what Ganker says. If you do better in sports/normie games, than those are the games you should play.
I have a below-one kd ratio probably in every game. Not that I ever play games to try to improve. I know I am over the hill and it's not going to get any better. I don't even have any friends to play with.
Our lives aren't actually stressful in the slightest, the vast majority of the stress we experience is either manufactured (maintaining social relationships, peer pressure) or self-inflicted (poor lifestyle choices, extreme short-term goals), so our entertainment has to provide emotional stimulation that our dull lives normally wouldn't provide us
permadeath roguelikes like ADOM where one mistake results in a death that deletes your save
dark souls 1 before you get good at it
jrpgs with long gaps between save points that would require a lot of time to redo the parts lost if gameover
all of barotrauma if played singleplayer
most of ninja gaiden black
battletoads
Rain World
Resident Evil Remake
Kingdom Come: Deliverance (IF you're playing on Hardcore)
Dead Rising 1
any SaGa game (but especially Romancing SaGa 2)
Miasmata
Subnautica
The Outer Wilds
Underrail
Alien: Isolation
I even went out of my way to think of games aren't horror, except because its just that good.
Video games aren't stressful, you just don't know how to relax. I can have a relaxing, fun time playing Darksouls, Touhou or fighting games. Get a grip homosexual
The most "stressful" video games are absolutely nothing compared to how stressful real life can be. What that Twitter user calls stressful I would probably just call challenging. I like being challenged in video games.
>constant nagging feeling that you're wasting your time, knowing that either your hard drive will give out, your memory card will corrupt, or the servers will shut down, and all your in-game achievements will vanish with it
At least we'll have our memories Oh wait
Dogs and cats have short lives, but this is a blessing in disguise that can help prepare us to cope with the inevitability of the death of our loved ones.
Even when you lose a pet, you can eventually cope with the loss knowing that they loved you and that you gave them a good life.
>and that you gave them a good life.
NTA, ever since my childhood cat died what nagged at me was that she was sterilized,
completely isolated from other animals, and kept alive by dry pellets. I've never thought that she lived a good life. She didn't even die comfortably, she aged until she was bony and blind and vomited everywhere and my moron mother would get angry at the cat for vomiting and force the blind cat to stay outside all the time until she went missing.
I don't like how we play god with these animals either, but I don't think there's anything unethical at all about adopting animals from shelters. It astounds me that people ever saw fit to declaw cats.
The onus isn't on you for what happened to that cat, it's on your mom. I hope you at least have some happy memories of time that you spent with that cat.
I work in a machine shop, if i frick up i can lose a couple of fingers, a limb or die, compared to the stress of losing a few imaginary points if i frick up that's nothing
Lads what's a fun low-commitment game I can play in the background of work? I've been playing Into The Breach which is good for turnbased but is taking up too much brainpower
Because most on Ganker are neets or students so they're seeking challenges in life somewhere even if it is a video game. Anyone with actual succesful paying jobs won't waste their time in that
If you got good at playing games as a kid, getting a job wont suddenly make you lose that.
It's okay to accept you're just shit at games. Or that you take failure way too personally, because of psychological issues.
Why are (You) like this, internet?
You could say it's many factors, but millennials are not this stupid. We are baffled by your love of Fromsoft games and Fortnite.
because real life is worse
thats just you anon
Pics like this just make me crave spooky night time driving kino
this feeling is why i've been listening to youtube horror stories of nighttime drives while playing vidya the past week. Its comfy

There's no such thing as a stressful video game
FFXI on horizon is stressful as frick as a new player, but its fun too
It's stressful as an old player too when you have to clock into your HNM slave station. It's only really relaxing during the middle part
i saw so many people go fricking crazy on horizon. xi is one hell of a game, people become way too invested in it.
>stressful as frick as a new player,
>FFXI
Why are you playing a long dead game as a new player? Even when FFXII was new, there was gatekeeping.
Only mmo worth playing nowadays, even with the problems the pserver has
there are some really relaxing, soulful games like zombie panic, co-op horror, free on steam

Sounds like a competitivegay problem. I mostly play games to appreciate the artistry, or have fun with some controlled chaos. Dying often IS fun.
stop taking troony meds, and all of that will go away
Games with ironman become the best anti stress when you get used to them, since no game will ask you to focus for 10+ hours straight

>"extremely stressful video game"
What do you mean? Nothing happens if you lose. What could be less stressful than a video game?
Petting your dog obviously
>constant looming fear that it's going to die, and you'll never get over the grief
No, that's more stressful
>constant nagging feeling that you're wasting your time, knowing that either your hard drive will give out, your memory card will corrupt, or the servers will shut down, and all your in-game achievements will vanish with it
At least we'll have our memories
Oh wait
I don't really care if my saves disappear though. That's a momentary annoyance at worst.

What happens when your loved ones die before your pets?
You grieve for as long as it takes and pet your pets.

You get sent back to the title screen.
Because these games give us tools to win against all odds, insensitive roastie fujo.
I have more control over video game stresses than the stresses in my life
Yeah, I should quit fighting games.
I work in a machine shop, if i frick up i can lose a couple of fingers, a limb or die, compared to the stress of losing a few imaginary points if i frick up that's nothing

Relax? If I wanted to relax, I would watch Family Guy Complication #1526 on youtube
I play video games to experience pain and joy.
