Okay, I'm a kid you see, playing Zelda 2 on a small CRT, but it was still kinda big for me. I got stuck on shadow Link fight for a long ass time but at last I beat it. Wanna show my sisters, but they're out playing in the above ground pool that just outside my window. But they won't come in to look at how I'd won. So I pick up the TV and stick it at the window so they can see. It falls, breaks and I go the rest of the summer with no tv.

I remember the exact moment, when I was a kid, that I realized that all the cartoons I watched were fake, that I would never meet real Pokemon because they didn't exist, and that life was basically boring and nothing magical or supernatural would ever happen to me. I flipped out, started crying like a crazy person, and was unwilling to explain to my parents what was wrong with me. (I also don't think I had the vocabulary to really put it into words yet.) I don't know if that's a normal stage to go through, or if I was just particularly naive growing up. Did any of you experience something similar?

I remember having something similar. It sucked at first, but then I kind of just drew parallels to the real world. Like having super strength was similar to working out, having an adventure was equivalent to my school/uni years, etc.
Although I still have an autistic tendency to self insert myself in anything, book, vidya or show that I recently finish for like 3 or 4 days.

I know that feeling a little too well except it was when I was in college or rather, had realized that I was going to fail and entered a really dark place and basically realized that the only happiness in my life came from things that would never be real. Had a bit of a mental breakdown, fucked up my suicide (sleeping pills are a fucking scam) and then a year of psychotherapy and hospital evaluations later I managed to convince them that everything was hunky dory.
Never really got over it. Moved out and I've been living in a small apartment without working or going to school since. I hate life and can't wait to die but having fucked up once, I'm not eager to do it again.
I'm a fucking leaf so I can't go for a shotgun and my place is too small for a noose so I dunno what the fuck I'm gonna do.

When I was in 3rd Grade I used to play pretend with a friend of mine, where we would talk about how we were both secretly in contact with Transformers and stuff like that. But even as early as then, it was always pretend. Everything was pretend. I enjoyed dreaming about shit like being a wizard or a knight, but it was always just fantasy. I knew that from a much younger age, really. The last vestiges of the supernatural began to fade away as I kept getting older, but there was never a single moment that stood out. It was simply part of my reality that the world was as it was, as much as I might secretly wish for it to be otherwise.
But in any case, I've clutched one thing close to my chest: That I should become a hero, who does everything he can to help others, and make as big of a difference as possible. That was the only reasonable conclusion.

I've posted about it on /v/ before, pretty much nearly a year ago. I named her Sunshine; because I knew she'd be someone bold and upbeat and fun that I could depend on to be by my side when I didn't have anyone like that in my life.

Over a period of about a week in late high-school reality settled in on me and I was crushed under the realisation that nothing interesting or unique would ever happen to me.
Cognitively I had known that fiction was fiction and reality was reality for as long as I can remember, but it only truly settled into my psyche at that time. It was really hard to accept that no adventure would ever come and sweep me off my feet.

When I was seven, I found the first LOTR book and thought it was a historical account, and the amount of detail that went into shit like the appendices didn't help. I even remember drawing out shit from the books and presenting it to my high school teachers as pure fact even in freaking debate club and selling the pictures later to my classmates. Thinking back, it was weird how they never corrected me. Course, later I found out there were two books after the Fellowship of the Ring, and that it was all high fantasy, and I fell into the

I had the opposite experience. I watched a lot violent cartoons and anime as a kid and would get freaked out when people died in things like DBZ or that Ralph Bakshi LotR movie, and when my friends and family would just watch nonchalantly as it happened. It was relieving when I found out that real people weren't getting killed.

We even got into character and voiced out dialogue.

I didn't literally think that Pokemon were real, I just had a vague idea in my head that I would get to go on similar adventures one day, or interact with magic somehow. I knew that cartoons and games weren't reality, but I maintained this fantasy that it was possible to do something similar to them in real life. I guess it was a pretty lie that I told myself to stave off disappointment. Freaking out happened when I couldn't maintain the self-delusion any longer. I also stopped praying around the same time, because it was clear to me that it was the same thing, a self-comforting lie.

When I was a kid my family was super poor so I never really got to play the vidya of the time. I had one older brother who had an Xbox and PS2 (he'd worked summer jobs to get them) but he'd never let us play or even watch because we'd "make him lose". But I played a lot of games on SNES and N64 via emulator with my other brother I'll call "G", who was the only one of the family I actually got along with. We couldn't afford controllers so we'd cramp our hands around the keyboard to play shit like Lost Vikings, Seiken Densetsu, Mario Kart, Perfect Dark etc. for maybe an hour a day because we had a bunch of other siblings and all shared timed on it. The town we lived in was in the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere so all we could get was dialup- but still we spent actual days downloading games from shit like eDonkey and Gnutella. Even the most basic freeware shit we could find G and I had a blast playing together. I remember skipping school a number of times just so I could play on the computer for hours at a time, or to spend time downloading something to play with G later.
Now I'm in my mid-twenties with 25mb/s internet and can get any worthwhile game I want in 10min or less, but have no one to play them with. Real life comes at you fast and before you know it all your siblings are spread out across the country with kids of their own. Some of my siblings I haven't seen in years. The last time I actually played a videogame with G was an online match of Left 4 Dead in something like 2013. I can't say I wish I was a kid again, but I miss the time we spent playing vidya together.

I don't want to know anything about any of you, because it'll just be sad stories, because uneventful stories about playing a good game on a warm night aren't interesting but they're the best stories in life.
Anything eventful is full of tragedy and suffering, I would rather nothing eventful never happened, so I kept my vidya life separate from everyone, and that's how I like it.
Tell me if you enjoyed something recently, that's far more fulfilling to me then hearing some tragedy or retardation
I can't stand and in fact intensely hate people who tell me something sad about themselves, I've had my fill and I'm tired of eating that fucking meal.

The key is that you have to be the magical supernatural thing that happens to the world.
I picked up boxing two year ago and just won my first amateur match the other day. I spent so long waiting for that magical plot device to happen to me. You are the plot device. You act upon the world through faith in yourself and you can affect things around you. You can have anything you want.
The real hard part is figuring out what the fuck you actually like doing or want to do.
You might THINK you like laying around being a lazy shit, but you might find that the opposite is more true than you realize.
