Why would I need a game for that? Just don't play a game, it's free and gives syou that exact experience.
Josiah Perry
Any games for this feel?

Yeah.
The Void by IPL is by far the most harsh, clever, and artistically acomplished game to ever explore the subject of existential dread, and the loss or realization of futility of hope.
Not only every aspect of it's narrative including the art direction, the music and environment, all constantly reinforce that theme, but the GAMEPLAY ITSELF is designed to make you experience and confront these themes.
It's one of the best examples of game using gameplay to communicate it's (serious) narrative.
The flip side is that it's INSANELY frustrating, depressing, demoralizing and exhausting.
Everything you do does in some way remind you for your insignificance, lack of control, lack of deeper understanding, unfairness inherent to the world, and pointlessness.
It's just brutally hard and the idea that you are not going to be validated or reward is literally the point.
So you are going to endure the games deliberately obfuscated, unfair mechanics, and won't even be rewarded for sticking with it.
It's amazing, but there are only very, VERY few people who can actually stand it.

this is some of the most stupid, uneducated and childish shit Ive read in a while.

He is so far from being correct that he could hardly be futher.
It's literally baby's first "oh my god evolution involves random chance" edgelordism
The kid does not know anything about evolution, or psychology, or axiology.
This is shit I'd expect from a elementary 8th grade kid that listens to linking park and wears fake piercings.

at least he nailed the reddit typing style

I get that disagreeing with this will just solidify the author in his snowflake nihilism, but if you seriously think anything written in the image makes a compelling argument you need to neck yourself.
You could extrapolate that train of thought back to the emergence of the universe and conclude that because it came from nothing with no apparent reason it also poses no significance. That would be stating the obvious and provides no good discourse for science, art or philosophy. It is baby's first take.

>ignores any mention of suffering and gets offended at nihilism
Very telling.
Jack Williams
Well, nihilism is just stupidity.
And it is also PAINFULLY obvious that this little child has never actually encountered any form of suffering, which is why he insists on it being "everywhere".
Yeah, that is what you say when you don't know what it actually is. Which is why everyone makes fun of it.
Did you write that shit by any chance?
Nolan Torres
This is DNA delusion.
Adam Lopez
how is suffering not everywhere? the transaction of life requires it. you just sound offended by the truth, especially because it's so simple and cold and that goes against everything your brain is wired for.
Christian Phillips
>holy shit is-is that a fucking space between the sentences? im going fucking insane
Jayden Jones
ok but could you make an argument please
Nicholas Allen
There's no argument to make, it's not even a compelling debate, it's just a statement that most people want to pretend isn't real. Humans literally go haywire if they can't point their fingers at something being the root of the problem so any plight involving random chance, luck and chaos infuriates them, hence the romanticization of antagonists in culture.

Nah, I am merely entertained by the infantility of this shit.
Did you seriously think this is some kind of deep, uncomfortable revelation?
Every 13 years old goes through a brief and embarrassing edgelore stage in which he considers himself super-intelligent for realizing that "nothing matters" and "life can hurt".
You discover this the second you stop consuming fairytales and children's literature exclusively. This is literally the revelation that fairtytales lie to you and things don't always end in happy endings.
Deep and mature shit.
Then again, maybe you murritards experience it few years later, but still.
