How are you holding up, bros?
How are you holding up, bros?
Personally, I'm currently at my lowest.
I hope all of you are OK and are going to make it.
For now, it's time to drink.
Been better man.
I keep telling myself I'm not depressed and it works less each day. I think I might get around to building that XP machine I've had on the brain to distract myself.
This thread could be good
>asked out two IRL friends that I had hopes played videogames a lot and both of 'em barely play videogames, literally everyone I know IRL barely plays videogames and there's no gaming group I could join or anything
>having to rely on internet friends for online session for my fix of online fun but they're all over the globe and our schedule don't match often enough, otherwise having to wait for friday night for BGO games on this board (and apparently one of the moderators on /vm/ will host a TF2 server on saturday, but it's american evening aka roughly 4-5AM when he hosts)
>interest in vidya at an all-time low, mostly spending my time posting on Zig Forums
Generally wishing the games I play and like would get talked about, but right now wishing this thread would stay up because Zig Forums is in terrible need of a sense of community that isn't mindless shitposts that get deleted after 10-15 minutes
Why don't you start something?
What do you mean?
A thread for example. I made a few Worms and 100%OJ threads and usually some people come and play. Always fun in the lobby and the chat.
I’m honestly falling apart, I don’t have the motivation to fix my weight issues and work is draining all my energy and I’m acutely aware of it. I keep getting on the treadmill and getting exhausted far before I should due to mental fatigue, then overeat to cope with my shit job hours. Games aren’t really fun now either but I’m ugly as shiiiiit so people don’t want me
Why do you want to look better?
Well...
>can't talk about most games I played and liked since nobody really wants to talk about them
>can't talk about Lobotomy Corp inbetween the threads simply archiving from inactivity and actually getting deleted for being declared /vg/
>people are already starting to dislike Mordhau for going the way of Chivalry, ballerina knights that abuse all sorts of kinks of the game to win
>Ghostrunner is coming out this month but nobody wants to talk about it
>Cyberpunk is coming out next month but all the threads are full of shitposting
>Team Fortress 2 hasn't had a real update in 3 years
>Risk of Rain 2 isn't talked about because 1.0 was a letdown and an announcement where they announced a Stadia exclusive map killed all interest in the game
I could go on but that's the quick rundown
I've really let go these past months
This week, I will not drink.
Who knows maybe I'm off the sauce for longer than five days
Mix of girls and hating that I look exactly like the stereotypical gamer nerd with a bit more muscle.
i don't know what to say but there are still risky threads up on /vm/ every single day
i agree though that i lost all interest in risky 2 and only lurk there to see if some user is hosting starstorm
(Re)discovering my faith. God loves you, bros.
Started drinking every night pretty much, nothing will ever get better in this fucked up world, so fuck it.
Im fine 12 more years to go until death line
I quit going to therapy after a year today. Might buy a shotgun to off myself. I teeter between that and strong desires/attempts at self improovement and I'm not sure which will win out in the end. I exercise and eat well, have (some) friends. Play too much vidya. Drink too much anymore. Need to find a reason to live. Don't enjoy much.
To make this vidya related I started playing Deep Rock Galactic. Very fun.
Find something to be passionate about and you won't need to buy a shotgun. I recommend some sort of creative pursuit, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't drawing and writing. It'll help you learn more about yourself, as well.
Hang in there, user.
don't kill yourself, you have good taste in failen angels
I try. I do photography, read, and play music on the side. I'm very amateur at all of them but none of them get me excited enough to pursue them frequently.
>hire new employee at home, a 42 year old woman(work at home with textiles and stuff, we're 4)
>42 but still really attractive, good body and face
>one month has passed now, slowly start to fall in love
>she's literally perfect (hard-working, loves to cook and clean and has the personality of a fucking sunshine)
>find out she's terminally ill and really doesn't have much left
ah yes, time to listen to deathconsciousness for the 11th time this week
Maybe try finding something to belong to, like a cause, something bigger than yourself. Not saying your problems and feelings are meaningless but fitting in to some big picture could give you a sense of purpose.
Ah that is really sad
I just dont know what to play. I'm so burnt out on everything. Pirating RE3 was the first time I enjoyed a game in months and it only lasted 3 hours.
Everyone's amateur until you've sank enough hours into it, that's all it is. Maybe set yourself a long term goal for one. I suppose the best candidate would be music, so perhaps contribute to some project or make an album? Having a project to try and build your life around helps a lot, and it'll give you purpose.
I mean if she's ill anyways, and you'll most likely regret not talking to her about your feelings you might as well talk to her about it.
I need to cut back on drinking but I have no outlet for socializing or hobbies other than going to bars. I just sit at my desk for 16 hours until I get frustrated and go to a bar.
Still no gf
WHY AM I STIL FAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA STOP EATING YOU FUCKING SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i exist therefore i am
>in debt
>struggling with college
>untreated ADHD because no money
>can't find an UNPAID internship
>will probably end up with a just-above minimum wage job
>trying to do my dailies on rocket league but I haven't won a single match in two hours
take the fast pill
Pretty manga, rent a girlfriend reminded me how lonely i am. I stopped working on my game and everything. Made the mistake of looking up my childhood crush and found her, she's a lawyer now. All in all im pretty shitty, right now. I hope we all make it bros.
I'll manage. Cheers op.
user mentioned something to pursue, a passion. So, tell me... How the fuck can you stop coming here? And if it's not Zig Forums it's another chan, another imageboard. I have a fuckton of responsibilities to meet and all I do is go to some forum and scroll acroll scroll scroll reply, close the window, listen to some music on YouTube, watch something funny and repeat, back to the chan it is. How do you reach a good level of self discipline? I want to do something, I feel it every day, even right now, but as soon as I wake up, I think "holy shit I don't want to do anything". Is this the cause of instant gratification? How do you DO instead of THINKING all the fucking time. I LITERALLY CAN'T ESCAPE MY OWN HEAD.
Next time the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future, user.
Work on your game. People won't remember you for who you might have dated, but they might remember you for the game(s) you've made. It's something you can call yours, and that counts for a lot.
I've been unemployed since 2017, not because I can't find work but because I am mentally and physically unable to do so due to PTSD. My parents don't seem to mind but thanks to coshit and us presidential election uneasiness the family business might have to close down soon and that would leave us with no income. I think I'd rather put a bullet through my skull that go back to my old job.
I broke out my old PS2 and got some old gems in an effort to bring back a little happiness, even if it's bittersweet. I don't think it's working.
Pretty ok actually, I've been really depressed and contemplating suicide the past few months, but the feeling slowly faded, and now I'm just... here
I've been putting off vacuuming my room and cleaning my shower stall for 2 years. It honestly could look worse but I can't be bothered to fix it.
Unfortunately, it may be affecting my health though as I regular wake up with non-spreadable pink-eye, but performing the potential fix would require me to stop playing video games.
