Anyone else feel kind of burnt out from playing vidya. I used to spend the majority of my time playing and having fun but it now seems like a chore to to dedicate time to the hobby. Having an ever-growing backlog of older games makes it harder to decide what to play and current trends are turning me off of newer vidya. I'm starting to realize that maybe I'm just starting to get too old to play like I used to.

disregard backlog, play video games
seriously a backlog turns it into a job, just play what you feel like playing and have a vague, smallish list in your mind and that should be enough but don't follow it strictly
Its more likely you just not feeling in the mood for vidya specifically, go watch anime, cartoons, read a book or do some other hobby and when you feel like vidya you'll play it again and devour it hungrily

The worst thing is getting older and resigning yourself to a lifetime of playing video games, but realising that there's not enough time for everything. I'm not a completionist but I find it hard to give up on a game when it might have more to offer me, even if it just turns out to be some shitty side quests that weren't really worth the time.

I wanted to develop vidya once upon a time. Then the jews started ruining everything like they always do. Everything that was once fun is now no longer fun. Being a neet is tiring, I have responsibilities now, I want to focus on a career but haven't even found a basic job I can do. Maybe IT and Networking might be a better calling for me but it feels like I'm going against the dream I had of developing vidya as a child. Everything is fucked and I can't even do anything about. Gamergate was a vague pipedream that devolved into nothing of value. At one time there was hope but now it's all shit. This current era sucks. I wish I could go back in time and enjoy the things I once enjoyed but it isn't practical or realistic. I need to study and go back to college so I can salvage the years I wasted being a neet. I'm so tired and the adderall at least makes me focused but not happy. I want to play vidya but my PC is outdated and best I can do is mod my ps2 and play older games. I only seem to lurk the boards these days. All my friends are starting to become busy with their lives and I'm left alone with my thoughts. Worst part is I only play vidya a couple of hours every few weeks and I don't have that energy. Getting older sucks.

That is because it is a chore to dedicate time to things that are not meaningful or bring enjoyment. Very few games set of one's exploration and achievement senses anymore, which are built into the very fiber of our being. The games are too easy, not mysterious, templates, and gamers are having to defend their hobby from cucks and sjws and shitty dev/publisher practices and the games aren't much worth defending.
The solution is going back and replaying the classics, demanding remasters, and never paying one cent for an average game.

Yep, this nigger gets it. This is why Demon's Souls became a sensation overnight when even Sony didn't have faith it would do well anywhere outside Japan. For FROM, it was simply a matter of principle they won't bend to the demands of the mainstream even if that means lower sales expectations. Who knew people still craved that sense of accomplishment and adventure in videogames which was cheapened over time with level scaling and customizable difficulty modes which is real artificial difficulty.
Reading the tread, I will also say this though: Our lives also demand some type of balance. If all you're doing with your day is playing videogames, all day, everyday, for months to years it will take its toll and you will feel disillusioned. Balance it out with other hobbies or interests. Besides also getting a job that is..this world is not built for neets, and will never respect them. It doesn't mean get a job working for Shlomo Goldstein if you don't want to, but have some passion or work in life that benefits your community. Even if that is running a jewtube channel redpilling people that does not pay you anything and you're surviving on government gibbs, that is still more respectable than sitting around all day.

i would suggest forcing yourself not to buy games even if they're on sale. Only buy games that are objectively good or games. That way you don't have to worry about forcing yourself to play some shitty game you bought for $5 and can, instead, enjoy what you already have until its finished.
I would also recommend probably doing something else like taking a walk or exercise or something. Whenever i start getting really stressed i fap usually go outside and take a breather and take a moment to appreciate the scenery. (i assume you don't live in iraq). gl anon.

I know what you're saying there, which is my main hold up of getting through more. I just have so much actual F-U-N stuff that it's hard to not go back to, you know, what was a good video game. I just try to exercise some restraint, try to put those things out of mind and pretend it's the only girl in a sausage fest. There are many a game that do not start well but lay into it as it goes, whereas some you can tell petered out fund-wise toward the end, even some of the grandest vidya. You can even tell if they had the right idea about design, if they completed the beginning, middle and end first or not. Then you run up against something like King's Field that seems like it was even poorly translated in the dude's head.

Being neets is anti-human because it's an unbalanced act. It's why the only people capable of dieing over playing videogames all the time are koreans and chinamen. Even the japanese neets and hikis do something beyond watching anime and playing vidya, even they go out at least in Akiba to buy their waifupillows of the month.

But you must admit the unbalanced exist and are NEET without much other option. Then it is apple and oranges. Married life isn't for everyone, parenting is too hard and too worrisome for others. The balance and meaning comes from living up to the potential of the natural occurrence of the specific and unique existence, assuming it hasn't become aborted. The divine spark turns into a garden that must be tended and fed tendies in moderation and as a reward for overcoming what must be done to preserve.

I think I might play some burnout after I add some more games to my hard drive. I've already played revenge so I might play takedown or dominator. Maybe even Ace Combat. Losing that spark always sucks. Setting up a VM to do ps2 modding has been fun. I've been learning more about virtual hard disks while working on a goal to get more vidya. I wonder if there's any good fan translated games for the PS2? (Guess I'll check the catalog or make a thread)
I forgot to take my night time meds and instead smoked some weed. I feel better but fuck I've been in a depressive rut recently. Must be all the pills they've been putting me on. I'll definitely need to make a prescription change as some of these pills have been fucking with me.
I'm going to be taking some advice and replay some of the classics. The modern industry sucks and doesn't deserve my shekels. Except maybe Bandai. I want to play SCVI but have no money due to moving out on my own. It's kind of bitter sweet having oh so little time left being a neet. I have all these feelings about it and realizing I've been wasting my time instead of doing what I originally set out to do - learning to develop vidya and focus on obtaining the skills to be competent in it. If I keep on focusing on it as a hobby I can have fun with it and use all the knowledge I'll learn when I go to college for a job I could probably start somewhere. IT and netsec can transfer into vidya dev as some of it can be relatable. I just made the mistake before of wanting to get into the industry. (it has been becoming a steaming pile of shit for years now) I thought that by getting a job in it I could somehow change it for the better. Being burnt out because of seeing that reality sucks but I gotta get over it.
The gaming industry doesn't need saving. It needs to burn so it can arise anew. I'm going to focus on preparing for the crash and hone my skills. Maybe then I could make something on the side. It probably would help if I got a job in the mean time. You can't really go so far on neetbux alone when you're living on your own.

Dear Anonymous 3 December 2018
Sorry for late reply , I am busy about my books , I feel sad everytime I heard that gamers stop enjoy their video games anymore . Then I now write this letter to you . the solution is the same as I reply to many anonymous on another website . First you need to Balance your brain by stop all addiction, All addiction is bad even morals , Addiction is how our brain work, if you do the same things everyday you will do it much better but no more exciting . So stop play video games for a while and don't use it for your excuse to escape from your real problem in life. we are in hard time - the time when capitalism reach it's highest gap of incomes , last time we human fix it by 2 world wars . but I don't think it will be simple like it was this time. go out side and exercise , eat various foods don't live alone remember if this can't not help then you may need to take anti-depress med. there are a lot of depress people around the world even in here Thailand . So I guess this phenomenal is the sign of zeitgeist (spirit of age) well I think it's too long now so I will end it here . send me your letters soon , we are fine doing our work
