Video Games don't fill the void anymore. All the people from my childhood are successful...

consider doing drugs

"Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort."

>I wanted to join a big tech company
No you don't, it's a soul crushing experience. I worked for Microsoft for almost 6 years, and hated every second of it. Get into government contract work. Pays better, and is much more comfy.

>consider doing drugs
And that will give you even more perspective on how fucked up your life can be!

felt that way as well until i got Any Forums and started playing music instruments.

>working for big tech
>working for gov
>selling your soul
work for a laid-back small to medium company and enjoy reasonable wages and flexi hours.

Investigate things to bring back your sense of adventure. I spent $100 at the pawn shop and walmart buying super cheap power tools. Now I'm youtubing stuff and having a great time! So buck up and get out there.

Until you accept responsibility for your actions and decisions you will never make any real personal growth.

If you somehow "fix" your gaming issue with your current mentality you will just go on to blame something else (you already are: "It's my genes!").

I know people that played all day in their childhood and teen years yet are succesful now. You just need to stop when you're under 20

You're supposed to start a family. Between work and spending time with them, vidya will be more satisfying when you have time to play them. Also, stop playing modern games for anything outside of competitive shooters and racing. Modern games are trash; can hardly consider them games given how streamlined, dumbed down and retard proof they are.

But what I enjoy is video games. I'm making and playing them now and happier than ever.

You should write a book. Maybe a short story. Do you do stuff like that already?

>All the people from my childhood are successful, traveling around the world doing what they enjoy.
that's what they want you to think with their social media posts
in reality they are just as miserable as you

nope I'm dyslexic.

the last thing a depressed low iq dumbass needs is a child to raise

I work at a reputable big tech company and I’ve played just as many games as you. If you like traveling, why not just do it? The only reason I don’t is because I think its a waste of time

>Travel

Are you a fucking women? Let me guess your traveling buddies dont actually have any hobbies and just work. I honestly have a hard time grasping the concept of travel because I enjoy my life and want to actively participate in my daily life. I never want to "get away" because I've lived my life the way i want and not backed myself into some corner trying to impress or satisfy other people. Guess what, after you spend thousands of dollars you still gotta come back to your shit life. All the travel destinations have been massively commercialized and must cater to senior citizens . You may thik your becoming wordy but all you are doing is staying in an American Hilton, eating at a foerign McDonalds. Maybe if it was like the 50s and places and people were still authentic. Youd be lucky if some niggers dont immediately peg you as an easy target.

Doesn't matter, if you can write shitty posts on Any Forums you can do something. The current literary scene is not high brow. There are other things you could do though.

Kek. Yeah. This is literally the only thing women talk about to be honest. I do want to go to Japan at some point. Thats it

I only travel when I want to go someone to accomplish a certain thing. A competition, family event, accompanying a close friend in pursuit of something that will better our lives. Traveling to go see landmarks and stuff is just strange. I don't get it.

>traveling around the world
Yeah thanks, I'll stick to my videogames.

For real why do women think it's a personality to just travel? And they never have any interesting stories uts just usually "oh we partied a lot lol!" And then they complain about being in debt

My soul was crushed at Amazon and now I'm on my 4th month of paid sick leave

Sounds like you hit a jackpot

Same. I really wish I was fucking dead. If my parents weren't alived I would have an heroed ages ago but I can't hurt them. Once they're gone that's it though.

Sounds like cope tbqh sorry

I've traveled to a different country and to a concert but my life is still empty playing vidya. It doesn't get any better.

You could always pick up IRL games like chess.

Why suffer for them? They're the reason you are like this in the first place

Sadly no because I'm probably going back after this month

Qrd?

I've thought about this before but I still won't hurt them like that, even if I can rationalise them being selfish for wanting me to be alive. I've read stories about parents whose children died/killed themselves and it completely destroys them. They don't deserve that shit. Plus I'm gonna die one day anyway and when I do it will still be like I never existed so what's the rush? Who cares. I wish a fucking truck would hit me though.

If my dad felt the way I do and wanted to die, I wouldn't resent him for killing himself because I'd get it. I would still feel like shit that he did it but I'd understand.

Jokes on you OP. I played videogames all the time growing up and I ended up happy. The key is to learn how to live/travel in poverty so you can do whatever job you want and go where you want, at least in your twenties. If I could impart any advice on people in college or HS, I’d encourage them to take a swath of time off before settling into your actual career. I’m settled into a life and family now but, man, I would be much worse off if I’d just jumped straight into a 9-5

seeing another place every once in a while isn't bad as long as you don't just do it to show off and post instagram stories.
everything in moderation.

I don't want to kym because it means you're remove from this plane of existing. I'm way to selfish for this.

There's a lot to get through but Hikaru is a top chess player and streamer and Magnus is the current world champion. Magnus declined to defend his title in the upcoming tournament because he hates the organization. Hikaru and Magnus don't like each other and Hikaru noted that if he had placed higher in the qualifying tournament he would've had a shot at challenging the world champion title. The tweet is a response to Hikaru stating that there's no way Magnus would've declined to defend the title if Hikaru had a shot at it just because Magnus would never want Hikaru to be world champion. Magnus just sees all this as copium.

Chess, cards, mahjong, etc. Never play games or online. IRL only. And find people who gamble. This makes it way more interesting.

Good news, you can punch yourself right now for being a complete faggot and crying on an image board instead of doing something useful.

ALL the people, really? I'm halfassing my life and I'm still doing better than a good portion of people I knew

it's not like I had many friends in my childhood like 3-4 and now I have zero.

So you think that it’s OK to have video games destroy people’s lives?

imagine if you were extremely shallow and vain. and then went to a place where there are no consequences for anything you do, you get to fuck anyone you want, and you get food, drinks, vacancy, and everything else free of charge via your instagram and tinder profiles
now you understand why roastie whores "love to travel"

We are about to enter a new dark age of economic meltdown, the bubble that has kept first worltoids safe for so long is ready to pop.

Don't worry user, everyone will be just as miserable in 5, 10 years tops. You didn't miss a thing.

I see my "successful" friends doing all this stuff and then when we meet they all complain about how miserable they are and wish they could be like me and just work an easy job and play video games for the rest of the day.

>Don't worry user, everyone will be just as miserable in 5, 10 years tops. You didn't miss a thing.

No I don't think this is possible the world has to burn for people to endure the same suffering I have.

Grow up chud

You'd be wrong user. I was born in venezuela so believe me when I tell you your normie friends will know true mind breaking suffering as will you

I'm already suffering everyday user if you had the same problems I had you would throw yourself at the first train you see.

It could be worse. You could be too busy to even play video games working your shit wagie job 6 days a week barely making enough to make rent, let alone travel

Based. OP is a demoralized/demoralizer fag.

>Telling a venezuelan about how bad your problems are compared to his

You really don't know, do you user...

Sounds like a personal problem
stop comparing yourself to other people

>stop comparing yourself to other people
If I could just fucking learn to do this one fucking thing I'd be happy again. Asking honestly, how can I learn to do this? It would liberate me from all my past regrets.

mfer was born in venezuela i doubt he'd blink at your normalfag "waaa neet and no gf" problems

Based, I want to travel because I enjoy fishing want to catch more diverse species

Venezuelans are spoilt babies compared to true suffering people like the lebanese, haitians and cambodians.

Yemenis are the kings of suffering.

>All the people from my childhood are successful, traveling around the world doing what they enjoy

And you know this how?

Haitians are niggers who genocided their white population so I wouldn't say they are suffering, more like getting what they deserve. They're also niggers so they have never known anything else besides Africa tier societies.

Venezuela went from mid european economy and society in the 60s to africa tier in the 2010s, that is a huge change and leaves a deep psychological scar and massive generational divide, not too different from what Americans will experience in the not so distant future.

Sounds like you never actually liked video games if they just "filled the void"
If you actually enjoy them then theres nothing wrong with playing them, and there's no reason why playing them would stop you from being successful or traveling
Stop being stupid

I dunno I think video games are just a symptom not the problem. My life isn’t too terrible but it’s in pretty bad shape for my circumstances growing up. If I never had video games I would likely still be apathetic and lazy

Any engineering gig gives more than enough money, no reason to stress out over FAANG shit. Incredible how a certain segment of CS/CE graduates seem to think that their life will suddenly be more meaningful if they work overtime at some glorified advertisement corp in California.
