Do you regret all that time spent playing games?

Hell no

No, I still play games on easy.

You have to confront the drug addict's truth--because this is an addiction. Is there anything better? No. There isn't. But there isn't anything more miserable either.

No, when I'm not consuming the media I like I just stare at walls, I've tried creative hobbies and know my lack of effort in them aren't due to video games, I'm just lazy.

I don't have regret for playing video games, I was a kid and they were fun. I regret playing TOO much video games, if I had just divided up my time between video games and social/academic pursuits a little better maybe I could have been a somebody right now.

You could still turn it around but who are you kidding, youre shitposting in Yas Forums and are just plain lazy.

I bet I could spend six years learning to draw and still not be able to make anything as good as the one on the left.
Some people just can't into art.

I stopped for 10y because homeless. First thing I bought when I got an apartment and a job was a cheep laptop for games.

These days I mostly play vidya to occupy my mind and not think about how shit everything is, so no, I don't regret it.

Only with games that suck like Monster Hunter World and Final Fantasy XV.

There are a million other hobbies than drawing, user. Have you tried walking on glass?

As an artist I assure you art is just as much of a time waste, it just sounds cooler
Only potential it has is that I could be making easy money drawing furry porn but I refuse

I can't think of anything I did in the last 10 years of my life I don't regret.

Shit man
How did it feel to trade bum wars for vidya again?

I AM trying to turn it around, I'm trying my best to apply to better and better jobs until I can finally find a career. The problem is that I feel extreme anxiety when I step outside my comfort zone, which makes the process slow going.

You could always try streaming

sometimes yes but then I look at my surroundings full with drug addicts and feel like I drew the better lot, who knows.

No, i used to be but now that I'm in my late 20's i just don't have the reaction times i used to have, i have so much game knowledge about dead mmo's, it's sad

then just stop coming to Yas Forums and read books about other things you'd like to do and start doing them.

Start trying new things even if you arent immediately drawn to them.

GIANT LEFT HAND

I know the feeling. I used to laugh at autists because I had a gf and thought I was normal. Now I’m a NEET and I can’t even console my mother when the dog dies because of the anxiety

>younger brother is now old enough that he's accomplishing things like getting a girlfriend
that makes you, what, twelve or something?

I only regret the time I spend here

no talent = fail

I am a suffering NEET and I still laugh at others suffering. Get fucked and get yourself together

I'm in my mid twenties and he is 15

I wish I could draw as well as the left pic.

no, why would i? im having fun and that's the only thing in life that matters

None of my friends or family can grasp that I don't really want anything out of life either. I followed all the meme normie advices, I picked up a bunch of different hobbies, even tried medication and professional help. Pretty much embraced I wasn't really meant to be around, I mostly just play video games until my parents get tired of having a neet around the house and then i'm jumping off a bridge

Attached: 1585821662392.png (532x399, 309.38K)

exactly me. Instead of video games I’d probably just spend ALL of my time here or something

Thanks for the attempt to help. But I said nothing interests me but games. I don't hate things that are not games though, I'm more neutral towards everything. Everything feels like air. I need more concrete instructions on what to do, if you can give any. Like what do I study, how, where? Should I learn to code games? Will anyone hire?

Why regret? You will be good at anything you do long enough. I am good at pressing buttons and it makes me feel good. Better than drawing does. Not that I am terrible at drawing because I started doing that too early because I just wanted to isolate myself from the rest of my class.

I regret all the time I've spent NOT playing games.

god i wish i would have stuck with drawing
i even have a very good tablet for digital and a giant library of artbooks and tutorials for drawing

fuck!

>all that time
I plan to play video games for the rest of my life.

Unironically get a job. Like try and aim for something a bit higher than Warehouse Picker or Retail Worker. I got an office job and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I went from apprentice with no experience to manager in about 3 years and got a lot more confidence and made a bunch of friends, nearly fucked a couple of the girls too but that would've been a bad idea.

You're like some rat pressing button for suger water.

So you could draw right now? But you don't. Doesn't seem like you like it much. Why would you want to be stuck doing something you do not enjoy?

Bought a tablet, used it 1-3 times and gave up.
Even just taking notes with it felt annoying.
Sold it to a friend a few months later.

This. You can't even start after around 18 because the brain doesn't have any plasticity left to learn things. Also, Asians draw infinitely better than westerners because they have a different perception of the world that allows them to be more creative.

So?

>no trigger discipline
shit artist

I regret nothing

Just fucking block Yas Forums from your browser.
That's how I got past my artblock.

I get your point but I personally don't enjoy the new age pseudo rng progression games. Just as a recent example tried out Risk of Rain 2 free weekend and just couldn't stop thinking how I am wasting my time in this rng simulator for rats. And yet Yas Forums gets lots of threads about it. Tells something about the users.

>female dressed in fashion > function clothing and holding a gun covered in sticker and pink shit isn't correctly operating her firearm
sounds like it's just true to the character

I could yeah
Its not like I dislike drawing but it requires a decent amount of concentration and in the last two years work has left me exhausted when coming home so no energy left for art
Its easier to startup some random game and relax until its tome for sleep

>wasted 6 years on a basic as fuck anime style
>complete lack of fundies and especially perspective
What a shame

Problem is that you need a certain mindset to draw, feeling productive, having inspiration, which happens pretty rarely for me.
That's not needed to just boot the PC and play a game.

post art

Nope. I wish I spent more time on games honestly. I’ve put so much effort into people just to be hurt when I could’ve just been chillin on vidya. I don’t really care what comes of my life or anything anymore, so I’m just smoking cigs, drinking coffee and playing games while I wait for things to get better.

>Yet he now makes a good living out of it.
Time to seethe.

>I work
oh. I've been neeting and studying for so much that sometimes I forget how working is. But if you ever get some time, learning to draw decent doesn't take even a year. You'll be drawing figures and faces in a month or two if you have some discipline.

It was great but I expect way more games for 10y of absence

fine

Why is drawing to hard to do? I can barely do a single picture let alone the hundreds I'll need to to see even a slight improvement.

Impressive.
I too plan on doing that but most games just aren't fun anymore.

>while I wait for things to get better
Not how it works, enjoy suicide in a couple years.

So you don't like drawing, gotcha.

epic /ic/ meme dude

Why should I? There are plenty of things to regret, but videogames isn't part of those.

>not how it works
When you can’t leave home and everything is closed that is indeed how it works, dumbass

Nope, if anything I wish I'd tried getting into fighting games younger and participated in more tourneys/attended my locals when I had more free time. Learning fighting games unironically helped me because better at accepting losses and making plans to improve myself.

Honestly thinking about getting into drawing just so I can help make more fanart of characters I like. Will probably do so soon when I get paid eventually.

Only Gen 5 - 7 Pokémon. I wish I had realized it would never get better again after 4 and railed against it's downfall starting then.

Probably wouldn't have made a difference since it's not like I wasn't criticizing it but I could've been louder about it.

Would've been nice to give that ~105K-ish to better devs too.

the fuck happened between 2018 and 2019, did you eat "get good" sauce?

>that improvement in two years
Nice bruh.
What's your regimen?

>try to do anything but videogames
>am reminded that I'm a complete fuckup who can't do anything right
