do any of you guys genuinely enjoy gaming

[160cmbloop]

or is this just another symptom of your subhumanity


i remember back when i thought i “enjoyed” it

until i realized i probably wouldn’t be doing any of this shit if i at least met the bare minimum base threshold for friends and a girlfriend

coping with my lack of 'life' i had and my embarassing poor environment by living in the online world

hours dumped into pixels because there was nowhere else for that time to go

no texts to answer, no plans to cancel, no one waiting on the other side of the screen

online friends ain't even real friends

don’t confuse cope with enjoyment

cope feels good in the moment because it dulls the pain

enjoyment actually adds something to your life

those that genuinely enjoy it good for you

i can’t get back into it anymore since i know i never really enjoyed it

i just fucking stare at the ceiling waiting for the day to be over

 

[uncomfortablecel225]

I used to with certain games, but now I don't really give a shit. My Interest fades, but sometimes it comes back.

 

[Caichan]

I mean, as of recently I’ve only had time for mobile games now that I think about it

 

[Dead End]

Yes, I can genuinely say that I enjoy certain games when I'm bothered to put effort into them. It feels engaging and rewarding. Mindlessly playing games as a more passive distraction is not enjoyable, it's really just a way to pass time. I unfortunately don't have the energy to invest myself in games like I used to.

 

[VanGobbel]

it's just a timepass, a way to get my mind distracted from my misery

 

[literallyretarded]

yes i enjoy video games as they are a great way to cope and distract myself from think about how shit my life is.

 

[autisticsoy]

Yes and no I do like games but I try to avoid because of being tunnel vision.

 

[Skoga]

I do like gaming genuienly but if I was a chad I'd rather be a out fucking stacies instead

 

[Nithingr]

No it's just to distract myself

 

[kay']

just another symptom of my subhumanity

 

[BasedGoyslopReviews]

i used to. like I genuinely had a thrill that could keep me up doing an allnighter. last time that was probably 9 years ago. Now I just use it to fill the void. Idk if its bcuz of getting old, or less excitement for gaming, or both, but I can no longer pull off an allnighter

 

[IWWorkER]

I haven't played anything in years

 

[LeFrenchCel]

Not much
I do it more by habit or boreness

I don't know if it's a symptom of inceldom or just growing up

 

[StoryOfMyLaugh]

I used to with certain games, but now I don't really give a shit. My Interest fades, but sometimes it comes back.

 

[Trident]

Yes

 

[poorenglishcel]

I enjoy them but it's hard to tell if i would still play them if i was normal ):

 

[SociallyStunted]

yeah i play the same few games everyday and i still find enjoyment in them

 

[diffusion]

Yes, gaming is still one of my favorite hobbies besides generating AI porn.

 

[weaselbomber]

yes

 

[Reapercel]

It’s my last cope

 

[Grodd]

Yeah

 

[ItsOver4cel]

This

If one is in the mood it is enjoyable otherwise it feels like a chore.

 

[aks74u]

I still enjoy games as much as i did when i was a kid. If it wasn't for the video games i just dont know what else i would be living for

 

[Max Doltman]

yes but not like i once did

Not anymore

 

[ToBurble&Pine]

[hikkicel]

Haven’t truly enjoyed gaming ever since I’m past my early teens. I don’t regularly play anymore

 

[Grimm]

Yes

 

[Defetivecuckachu]

I do, more now than when I "discovered" gaming 10 or so years ago.

I like games like Skyrim and Fallout, where I can live out my sick twisted incel power fantasies of being a hero who is liked and respected by everybody because I saved the world and took nothing from anyone in return.

Occasionally I'll waste a whole day gaming on the weekend, and then I'll experience a brief pang of something a bit like post-nut self loathing for wasting a whole day. But I get over that pretty quickly.

 

[Mr Black]

Sometimes i get dopamine but most of my time gaming is just procrastination

 

[_meh]

It's on and off switch for me.

Sometimes I enjoy it. Sometimes I don't.

 

[Zedmund]

I still love gaming. I'm older and have seen a lot, thus I have a harder time getting hooked by a lot of new games, and I have less patience for stories, but I still have fun.

 

[OverLoner]

Yeah I still enjoy it. If I'm not I turn it off and do something else. Some people treat it like a job which I find is weird. Simply play games for fun. Unless you intend to compete at in a tournament where there's real money to be made why bother?

 

[Zionist]

I enjoy story driven games, multiplayer games I play such as cod are only fun if I'm doing well. When I start to die a lot, it becomes to take a toll on me

 

[soft]

Not so much anymore. For the last 10-15 years it's mostly been a way to pass the time and escape from real life.

 

[poorenglishcel]

I am in my early twenties and sometimes i feel like i am wasting my time playing them. FOMO is beating my ass up. Idk what to do. I just LDAR in my room the whole day regardless. I don't wanna be old. I am already so close to the peak age of 25 after which everthing is just a downhill. I was 15 just a while ago and now i am already so much older. Or is this just anxiety? idk man i just don't know

 

[d_qwq]

i like armored core because i get to pilot cool mechs and kill people, which is objectively fucking awesome but apart from that not many other games

 

[Deco]

Yes. For a time I thought it was because of my circumstances in life but turns out I actually enjoy playing games no matter what.

 

[DogTeeth]

Not rlly, but my mentality goes even more to complete shit after awhile when my life is just working & sleeping

 

[sellsword]

It's all I do. Every day is spent with hours of it alone. Lately been playing some strategy games so if anyone has recommendations let me know.

 

[Skoga]

Id rather be chad and fuck stacies all week, but beggars can't be choosers

 

[Skoga]

It's all I do. Every day is spent with hours of it alone. Lately been playing some strategy games so if anyone has recommendations let me know.

I've been playing "Stellaris" and "Dwarfs: Glory, Death and Loot"

 

[thirty........]

We play games to replicate the hunt

 

[Todd Thundercock]

Yes, although the main reason is it's good coping.

 

[zephyr]

I'm playing Minecraft on easy mode right now. It's ridiculous how hard it is to find Blaze Mob Spawner in the Nether Fortress in the Nether. Never hear other Youtubers mention this.

 

[Spiteful Mutant]

It's gotten harder for me to immerse myself in any game I play; I can't really get into them as much as I used to. There's always a firm layer of separation in my mind when playing that didn't exist in my younger years, and the knowledge that I'm rotting in my room instead of living normally doesn't help either. I mostly chalk it up to apathy and depression though.

 

[Steiner_Atlas]

Very rarely. I don't even game that much anymore.

 

[Wolnir]

Yeah, I've always liked video games, even when I was a normal child with friends and everything.

 

[pixy.]

yes

 

[nirvana]

Videogames lost their appeal to me a long time ago, while music only grows more interesting.
