How do I get out of this doomer mindset and enjoy vidya again?

How can I stop being exhausted 24/7 so I have the energy to play games again?

Name a genre that there are no indie games of. Maybe Ubisoft/GTA clones.

Either vitamin deficiency or hormonal turmoil, maybe post-COVID nerve damage. Try consulting an endocrinologist at a private clinic, check your Vitamin D levels (you WILL be fucked if you live in the northern parts of the world), maybe get a neurologist to check you. You're 90% fine but the remaining 10% are out there to fuck you over.

t. lived with 100-110 resting heart BPM all my life only to find out that that was caused by an autoimmune disease

Exercise. Unironically, exercise increases the amount of midochondria in your cells, means you have more energy and can do more things.

How do I get out of this doomer mindset and enjoy vidya again?

just play games
only come to Anon Babble for funposting, absolutely no youtubers, no going to god awful journo sites, just play games that look fun to you, only watch raw gameplay footage with NO fucking commentary garbage.
if you're buying games add stuff that looks fun to your watch lists and grab them on sale while you play other games.
if you're pirating games you don't need to play them all immediately, you'll play them later, they're not going anywhere
NEVER install more than 3 games at once. install two main games you know full well are gonna take time and one endless game (sports, city builder, etc) to play in 1 or 2 hour bursts in between your mains
go outside and walk around when you're not playing games and keep your head clear

It happens anon, for me usually i just chill a little and enjoy other things until some game comes out that reinvigorates the flames

Seeing an endocrinologist might be a good idea. I have a high resting BPM too, but that's from high blood pressure (which I'm taking medication for).
I do exercise, but that just tires me out more usually. Even more so during the summer when I just come home and crash out on the couch right away.

That's pretty much me too, dude.
I think we're just a product of our era. It'll pass, I think we're made to suffer while we're young but we'll rule with great wisdom when you eventually inherit the gerontocracy.
Just a generational thing. Our time will come.

I have ass burgers too and take everything literally and seriously.
How do I fucking turn it off and relax?

No idea bro, it's annoying as fuck. Brain just can't process anything, it's black or white, nothing else. I'm so sick of it. Everything is so serious, can't take a moment to just laugh at this dumb ass life.

It has nothing to do with Assburgers. The internet is serious business.

Do drugs until you hit ego death.
I remember being an asshole until five years ago when I caught covid and had crazy fucking fever visions.
I had a new perspective after that.

reduce screentime, its as simple as that

Do drugs until you hit ego death

There's some truth to that. I take myself too seriously. If I could just laugh at shit that would be a big improvement. Drinking helps, but I don't wanna end up as an alchie

Play AA games

Stop browsing Anon Babble, Anon Babble and any other social media that you obviously take too seriously

play nintendo games

How do you browse all this demoralizing shit and not end up feeling awful?

Try jacking off to furry porn.

I don't browse Anon Babble since it's been subverted for 10 years now and I only browse Anon Babble for the threads about the games I like. Beyond that I don't even lurk any other boards any more. I barely go online. Got too much going on irl so I end up spending more time actually playing vidya than discussing it

What exactly is demoralizing?

Get 10min of sunlight for vitamin D to aid your body's endorphin production

Get healthy food

Get clean and presentable

Get job

Get car

Get fit

Get outside

Get gf

With all the self-care, career, exercise, socialising and sex, have much less time to play vidya

Enjoy it far more the times that you do get the opportunity

It's that easy, just Bee Urself (TM)

still owns a gtx760

you need more?

In all honesty, a big reason for not enjoying vidya for some these days is they take the ragebait and shitposting too seriously (not just from Anon Babble but jewtubers as well) to the point where they would miss out on a game they genuinely like just because people said it had one flaw that somehow destroys the entire game.
I decided to ignore the noise this year and just play games I think I would like and so far its been the best year of gaming in a long time for me.

Monster Hunter Wilds

Blue Prince

Hundred Line Last Defence Academy

Clair Obscur

Schedule 1

And thats just what has released this year. I picked up some older games like the zachtronics, 13 sentinels, street fighter 6 and have had a blast with all of them.
Last year I would have had the same mindset as many people do these days and just ignored almost all of these games because of the complaints.
Perhaps the greatest feeling of all is that people can call me consoomer, or bad taste or whatever and literally just not care about it knowing I am having fun and will continue to.

You're the problem.

Megaquarium

Parkitect

Rift Wizard 2

Ion Fury

Lunacid

Dead Estate

Sifu

Gravity Circuit

Shadow Tactics

Tactical Breach Wizards

Siralim Ultimate

Monster Sanctuary

Astlibra

Mouthwashing

All great games that I've enjoyed in the past 3 or so years of wildly differing genres that do not fit into your list of adjectives at all. Just admit that you're a close-minded aspie who let's/v/ pessimism form their opinions.

inb4allslop

Your opinion literally means jackshit when you don't play games at all.

Your brain got fried aka physically damaged, unless we figure out how to heal brain tissue there is no way to. Either accept what you are or an hero.

Unironically if you surround yourself with negative people, you will become a negative person. Also go outside. It sounds like cope, but if you keep living, good things will happen. I didn't think I'd live to be 27 but here I am.

limit Anon Babble usage
stop being brown and poor (may be impossible), most doomposts are from thirdies that don't have the capacity to play games they complain about and you can typically tell from the broken english and exorbitant amount of Anon Babble buzzwords
tired thing is from living a mostly sedentary life

for me it was VR
I was super jaded, unwilling to finish any game and just went back to dota2 after playing something for a couple hours
VR blew my fucking socks off so far that even VRslop crap-ass games are fun
like, take the shittiest VR slop that looks like jank garbage in a YT review, and even then I'm having some fun. Especially with friends.
quest 3 was my first headset, so I had about a 100 game backlog of decent VR games to catch up on. I've played em all, beat most. I'm even completing flat games again. It literally reinvigorated my gamer enjoyment.
Mileage may vary. I convinced one friend to get a headset, who is similarly jaded. He just bitches and moans about putting the headset on (he's fat and his room is a mess). He's somehow more jaded, never gives any game a chance and is a drag to try and get to even play a game.
I don't give a shit about online opinions any more. I mean, I already ignored all your opinions about Dota, so it's not difficult to also ignore your opinions about VR slop.
I'm not saying most VR games aren't

lazy

wasted potential

jank

slop

cuz many of them are. but the going-into-games-machine made me feel like a kid again and I'm fully invested at this point. Since I've completed the backlog of good VR games/mods I'm turning into a simfag, since there is endless enjoyment there. Also it appeals to my gear-queer sensabilities. I'm not gonna lie, I like buying HOTAS and cooming over the buttons/toggles/switches more than I actually like flight/space sims. Driving games tho are based. I hate driving irl but getting fucking drunk and driving rally cars or gt3 is a blast.

games will improve if you stop paying attention

You're playing vidya to cope, not to enjoy your time

videogames and anime are mainstream now so i don't have any interest in them, normies ruin everything.

unironically start a game and play it
just like how being bored isn't actually having nothing to do, it's being indecisive
force yourself to do it anon! i believe in you!

define living
i have a valve index but all the wires do get pretty annoying so i'm hoping the rumored wireless one they're working on is real

You guys don't make games. You also can't call yourself an expert when you literally don't play games. You're not special for posting woke, DEI, and slop on an anonymous image board. To make it worse, you can draw, you can't code, you can't design, you can't even explain why the games you call bad are bad without using slop as an adjective.

It's very telling when a gamepass free game (E33) is suddenly considered the best game in years. It's almost like these people don't play anything at all that costs money.

You are just depressed. I don't recommend taking pills to combat it but maybe talking to someone helps?

deckard is REAL
2 more weeks
wireless VR is pretty good if you have the set up for it, but, I've never used a cabled headset. So compression might ruin it for you in some aspects. HMD resolution is much greater than index now, so when deckard eventually comes out maybe that will be a big enough leap that the compression doesn't bother you much.
incidentally, I'm hopefully getting a wired headset this year, waiting for the 11th for the pimax dream air announcement before I decide between BSB2 or a pimax super/dreamair etc
I started with my Q3 plugged into my pc but swapped to wireless once I had a good router setup. Going from cabled to wireless I started bumping into shit in my room again like it was my first week in VR even though that would never have happened with the cable.
wireless IS more immersive, but, even though I haven't experienced it, I think it's obvious that the cable provides better visuals.

dxxwp

What about the literal hundreds of other games out there to choose from? You CHOOSE to focus on these games because you would rather be mad than actually enjoy anything. It doesn't make you better than anyone; it makes you dense and oblivious.

A few of these look promising, alright I'm gonna go play them.

Start emulating old games
It made me enjoy games again

I looked up the Pimax Dream Air since I've never heard of it before and goddamn that's expensive.

I'm non-binary.

I don't feel like a man or a woman.

Okay, then what are you?

I'm non-binary.

Yes, but that's just telling us two things you aren't. There still has to be something that you are.

I am neither thing.

Ok, but what are you?

Non-binary.

So you just aren't anything. You don't exist.

No, I do, as non-binary.

You exist as two things you are not.

Yes.

So you don't exist?

No, I do.

Then what are you?

Non-binary.

way too many bullet points

many bullet points are stupid try-hard "gotcha" ones

Any games like hollow knight?

it is
so is the pimax super
but if i'm gonna have all this simracing shit i might as well get a fancy HMD too
the dreamair is almost too good to be true. I'll see what they say on the 11th but I also wanna wait for non-shill reviews about the lenses. I mean there just has to be some compromise, it can't have the same resolution, slightly less fov, and be that small compared to the super right?
just seems like there's gonna have to be some major fault with it.
if the lenses are decent though, I'm in. I don't have basestations so it's roughly the same cost as a BSB2+basestations controllers.
if you already have an index the BSB2e would be what I'd get just so there is no software bullshit to deal with outside of steamvr

do you smoke weed or drink

stop

do you eat tons of unhealthy processed food?

stop

Do you have a degen sleep schedule

sleep 8 hours around the same time each day

Do you constantly engage with things that make you angy

spend your free time on things you enjoy.
Also get atleast some excersise, preferably outdoors or at a gym. And Some will call it gay but meditating can help, 1 minute a day at first is ok and build from there.

Good for you anon--Nine Sols is 2d, but far from generic and Amid Evil was my personal GOTY when it dropped. I don't know what games you like, so it's hard to make suggestions. Rift Wizard 2 is my favorite on that list, but it can be complete bullshit sometimes and the dev knows this 100%
