Do any of you regret how much time you've spent playing video games, especially at an early age? My dad always told me I would. That I would wish I had gone outside and made friends and exercised, maybe meet a girl from the neighborhood or go on a real adventure instead of a pretend one.
I didn't believe him as a kid.
No
I played video games because I couldn't do any of that shit.
Fuck off normalfaggot

i don't regret shit
i'm probably the most successful person in my family in the last two generations and i was an autistic vidya junkie growing up
Nope, but I wasn't a shut-in as a kid so I got a bunch of friends and a close group that's lasted into my adulthood.
You physically couldn't or you chose not to?
No, except for wow.
nope
Not really. The escapism provided by video games is probably the only reason I haven't killed myself.
fuck no
i hated all the bullshit my parents forced me to sign up for when i was younger and i hated all the boring little faggots i was surrounded by at school
i didn't play enough videogames
Nope, I've balanced out how much I've played vidya with the rest of my life and it has connected me to a lot of different people throughout.
>posting FotM garbage
If I didn't waste it on videogames I would have wasted it on something just as useless.
So no, I don't regret it.
No, life is gay and normies are miserable, I wish I played more games when I was young and impressionable because nowadays I have trouble enjoying them
No. Aside from the fact that enjoyed my time spent with the medium, both alone and with friends, they helped me discover what i'm passionate about.
I believe in reincarnation.
>expecting a group of addicts to admit they're addicts
Next you'll try to convince potheads that weed isn't a magical healing plant.
Genuinely this
I didn't start playing games a lot until I already was a failure.
Yes and no. I knew from an early age cut-out for normalfag stuff despite how much my parents tried to convince me otherwise. I only regret blindly buying so much vidya I didn't really want or need once I got my first job instead of saving money.
Why not both? I play vidya during downtime from real life stuff. Every time I'm on an airplane I'll play games. I'm on Zig Forums when I take a shit/shower/waiting in a lobby.
What comic is this
Not really. Normalfag life is just a debt scam.
no, i get disgusted by normalfags, they're like animals
No, none of my problems came from vidya. Im pretty aware of how much i can and cant play. My problems came from being pressured to go to uni right out of highschool when i didnt have any idea what i wanted to do. If i could turn back time i would have taken a year or two as a wagie right out of highschool so i could actually think about what i wanted to study and not be stuck studying something i dont really care for.
This honestly
I might very well have just been an autistic fuck but the only other things I enjoyed as a kid were cartoons and legos, if not for vidya I'd probably be even worse off than I am now.

Read Pluto. Now.
caught the storytime on Zig Forums a few months back, can attest to this certified kino
I wouldn't have regretted it if at least I had any real life friend that was into videogames to talk with but now with videogames being on a drought and the internet being in a shitty state I wish I didn't get glued to the computer from age 3

>Mordhau bricks my Steam with updates never finalizing for some reason
>TF2 is a husk of its former self
>Underrail's update didn't really add anything interesting and the sequel isn't coming out for at least 2 more years according to the devs
>Zig Forums is full of shitposting and whatever comfy threads there are quickly get deleted
>only contact with online friends is through Discord
>I only have fun by playing multiplayer games with people on late euro hours or a sketchful.io game during the day
It sucks man
Nah life is worthless and a waste of time. I'm just living until I die, probably gonna blow my brains out soon. No point in wasting time fixated on stupid shit that doesn't matter.
I do. I wish I had a single minded dedication to some craft from the early childhood and spent those hours polishing it.
I used to love paleontology as a kid but stopped loving it. Been getting back into it and I've noticed its so much easier to talk to people when you just have some unique thing about you.
A somewhat crippling set of disorders, physical disabilities and hinderances, constant life changes, the same level of social ability as a dead horse and agoraphobia made all of it basically impossible for me, so I ended up defaulting to video games as away to cope with all of this, and keep myself less stressed about school as a kid, so I could come home each day and have something to enjoy or look forward too. I wish I’d learned or practiced a skill like drawing from a much younger age because now it’s starting o feel a little futile but regardless, I don’t think I’d be alive without the sheer distraction I get from video games
