I did all those things and still played vidya, the diff is I never wasted time on mmoshit

>choose between 1000s of exciting fun as a mage fighting dragons and undead in a breathtaking fantasy world
>learn how to code a binary tree from scratch in CS101
Pick one

Buyer's remorse

user. Life is only possible in the universe for 0.000001% of its existence.
Your life is only possible for an even smaller fraction of that.
You had fun playing those games, that's why you played them. They weren't a waste of time, but if you feel you could do other stuff with your time and it makes you happy to do it, then go for it.

Thanks user I need to hear this! Upvoted and gold.

Edit: a word

No. I and many other people work for a living and absolutely hate it. Vidya is escape for most people. You just fucked up by ONLY doing vidya, especially MMO shit. It's never too late though, user. If you really wanted to learn how to code, you could do it whenever.

programming is boring shit you didn't want to do it in the first place

Video games didn't ruin your life, your shitty impulse control did

No user, you ruined your life. Vidya has nothing to do with it. I have my BS in comp sci and a remote job and I've been gaming my whole life. Get over yourself.

There is no escape from the tedium and boring cycle that is a human life in the modern world. If you learned business you would get money, or lose it, and be happy for obtaining wealth to later become depressed or suicidal from losing it and suffering mentally.

If you learned how to code you would have entered the soulless world of being a fucking code monkey for some shit company that does shit no one cares about. Assuming you balanced it out and achieved one of these while still playing games, you'd still find something else to be sad about, because the human is inherently tied to the void of eternal nothingness.

No one can escape the feeling of something missing within them. No one. At some point the happiness fades and the void takes over, calling you to it like it always did since the first humans began to think about what they are and what it means to exist in the first place.

Video games are fucking awesome though.

No retard, your life was worthless from the start

I'm autistic enough to enjoy simulation games. I'm basically a master car mechanic by now.
Now what?

He's absolutely right.

Don't do this to yourself. Hours of play do not equal hours of work. Work is hard, often dull and tiresome. Do not assume your hours of play would have translated into a skill.

We have limited time on this Earth, if you enjoy playing games, play games. There are billions and billions of humans who will accomplish nothing with their lives, don't beat yourself up because you weren't superlative, almost none of us are.

This is a gay way to put it but its true. No matter what you have or dont have, you will always suffer for one reason or another. A major part of human life is suffering and the futile effort to avoid it.

>I’m starting to think this was intentional in order to prevent people (like me) from ever unlocking their true potential.
I love it.
OP is such a pile of garbage that even into a rant about how miserable he is, he managed to slip an implication that he is really actually great and that it's just someone else intentionally sabotaging him.

It's fucking amazing.

I don't agree with this. Thats like saying "millions of people are fat and useless, therefore its okay to be fat and useless, NEVER IMPROVE". You should always try and improve your situation, not become a soulless husk.

You don't need to be a child to learn things.

If you want to do something do it, and stop blaming things that aren't you or shut the fuck up and stop complaining because you're the only one who should be complained at/about in this instance.

I had more fun getting fucked in the ass by a strapon than reading your post.

>You should always try and improve your situation
Only meaningful in this specific situation, I'd note.

Only what YOU want matters. If you're where you want to be, no matter how inactive you look to others then there isn't any way to improve.

Again doesn't apply to OP who is a retard who needs to stop blaming anything but himself but not a general statement you can actually make.

Why don’t you do both?
I play games on and off and when I’m not I’m killing myself working on and learning art software. In fact I don’t have this crippling feeling of worthlessness when I play vidya anymore now.

That's why you gotta apply yourself and try to wiggle your way to a position where your chances of suffering are smaller.

its alright man

All truth, also consider that you could've spent years buckling down and working instead of having fun and then you get hit by a bus a year later before any of it really pays off. Life is very unpredictable, try to just enjoy it while it lasts instead of worrying about being as productive as humanly possible, none of it will matter once you die.

It's never too late dipshit. My Mom is fucking 55 and she just got her teaching certificate after being a shitty assistant for 15 years and I decided to go back to uni after dropping out 10 years ago. I thought it'd be weird but I've had plenty of classmates that were in their 30s and 40s.

it's alright user, we're all losers with wasted lives here. if you had fun playing video games, and they made you happy, that's what counts

Next time don't play MMOs.

I burned a CD with Netbeans, java sdk, documentation everything needed and tutorials back in 2004. and went with it to another town for university.
Never learned java.

I always found older people at uni very motivating.
I thought about dropping out many times, but they always reminded me that I would most likely feel the need or desire to come back.
