!["Grown men", Why are you still playing video games? [750x752 - 177KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/98cs6k.jpg){kind=link}
Because it’s something that I enjoy. I don’t really owe anyone an explanation, least of all anyone still posting on twatter.
I wish I could still get enjoyment out of games. Nowadays on the off chance that I actually play something, it's more like just going through the motions. Got a crazy retro collection that I've built up over 30 years, and now it feels like it's glorified hoarding; rarely add to it anymore. Have several high end VR headsets and PCs. Rarely touch them for anything aside from browsing the web. Just built a MiSTer and put nearly 20,000 games on it. Don't feel like playing any of those either.
Basically all I've done for two weeks is work outside, smoke cigars, and ride motorcycles.
You owe no one any explanation for what you do for entertainment.
My hobbies are shitpost online, ride my motorcycle, shoot guns, and read books. Oh and lift
What more could someone want
Some occasional pussy?
Fuck yeah! We have to keep ourselves sane, if we plan on winning an assault on our culture and people. Do be watchful while riding those bikes man, we need people like you around!
Me and my friends used to ride bikes with sticks and we would joust each other
The age of escapism is nearly over.
Soon everyone will join you in interacting with the real world
igg games
Don't post a link in case of DCMA.
I got an HTC vive.. I'm about to set it back up and give vr games another try. Why don't you use your vr I remember really liking Arizona sunshine
Mostly because I only use them for a few things: Niche projects like oldschool Doom and DolphinVR, as well as Project Cars 2 and Elite: Dangerous. After thousands of hours into all of those? I'd say burn out.
Lifestyle is another problem. I'm gone for work 1.5 to 3mo at a time and only come back sporadically until a 7-14day siesta, depending on how productive I feel. I do carry a gaming laptop and Rift S for lower end VR on the go, but lately have been leaving the headset at home as well. I'm just burned out in general.
Why do you enjoy them though? Ask what you th honest intent.
IMHO video gaming has become our generations version of alcoholism or drugs.
Escaping reality.
The hook was initially training. A make trait to prepare. But now we train and never implement
Games have better stories than many movies.
And better music. I've saved several mp3's of various games and added them to my music collection.
Same. I could play the classics and maybe enjoy them, or spend another ten years working on improving emulators, but the world continues to burn. My life isn't simple. Playing games is just making things worse.
Yep. My real gaming began when my step dad brought home a bunch of pirated Amiga games. Civ. Populous. Silent service. God's etc.
From that moment I escaped into games because real world was hard and I was an introvert. When I married young to a psychopath I got worse. By then it was counterstrike beta and tribes esports. Lost all my mates and motivations
Taken me a long time to get over my addiction.
Now I occasionally play lol and hoi . The only games I've played these last ten years.
Games are spiritual drugs
That's why I do fentanyl.
Just don't combine that with multiple times the legal dose and attempting to pass off fake money to stores
Also a lethal dose of carfentanil, one of methamphetamine, a potential lethal dose of morphine, as well as cannabis, alcohol, and caffeine, all while having known heart and respiratory issues and supposed COVID.
