You just want to bump this thread huh

let me guess he's whit-

Suppose to? I can't stop fapping when I play around in photo mode

ugh life is SO HARD because I need to give 100% at my corporate job that values my contributions and totally doesn't view me as a cog, there's just no way that I can have any time to devote to hobbies or games or self improvement!

bruh how am I meant to live life when the stock market is rigged against me? Have you seen the political landscape?!

date an attractive woman full of life and vigor? NAH BREH I think I'll throw in the towel, date a 35 year old spinster with a cat, and post on reddit about how 20 year olds are icky instead

we have nothing in common anyways? I mean we both watched spongebob as kids :)

budget? diet? take responsibility for my life? NAHHHH BROOO life is hard, stop gas lighting me

I believe the current 28 to 32 year olds are looks and gymmaxing right now. Any older millennial older, not at all

Someone tell me about how these videos are made. Seems like anyone with a camera can make them these days. Are they easy to make? Cause I'm guessing this guy spent more time making this tiktok video than playing the video games that are the topic of the video.

I used to play games on the hardest all the time and now I prefer the "normal" difficulty because I've realised just how bad difficulty balancing is for most games. I'd rather play the intended experience than some horrific slog where most mechanics are redundant. I much prefer games without a difficulty selection, usually the devs have thought a lot more about difficulty.

My mom is 55 and plays games like this fat 30-something. She greatly enjoyed Horizon on Easy.

I really don't understand these "I have no time faggot". How inefficient are they? I work full time, leave home around 8:30, come back at 17:30 by 18:30 I worked out, took a shower and got a snack ready. That's a good 4h30 to 5h of gaming.

I can understand a bit more if you have kids but that can be alleviated by playing with your kids.

But then again I suppose the average person moves like molasses, my flatmate takes the whole day to clean the apartment, I can do the same in an hour.

I can understand that, but if he has to do that, he was never really good at video games to begin with. Easy mode was made for Steelers fans.

Where do you get the energy to do all of that?

My good honorable nigger-chan dost thou seeth this mark? It be what denotes the PM

I dunno? I'm 33, I don't do anything particularly different. I do sleep at the same time everyday though, and I don't drink coffee, smoke or do drugs (I eat like shit tho).

Normalize playing video games on Easy Mode.

No one cares if you enjoy making things unnecessarily hard for yourself for no reason.

You are cool you aren't special. Some of us have actual things to stress about IRL, and don't need a bunch of data and polygons giving us a hard time on top of it.

Yes and it stays PM when it hits 12. Why? Midnight isn't 12 PM.

don't drink alcohol and stay in shape. Also, don't hang around energy vampires

Slaughter and bloodshed

Oh no alcohol either.

It's not really that they don't have time, it's just that they give gaming a lower priority compared to you. Me personally I have other hobbies outside of vidya that I care more about.

millennial dad gamers killing games

The hell is an energy vampire?

I mean I read too, and practice languages. I even keep track in a sheet.

No. He probably can only play games for a half hour a day so he has no time to learn how to play them well.

You might be mostly right, but reality is most people just give up.

This isn't a fucking excuse! It never was! It's not an excuse to be a soulless spiritually bankrupt human being you fucker!
These are the same people who just watch The Office on repeat all the time instead of challenging themselves with REAL kino cinema like Anora or Ocean's 13. Because abloobloo I only have 2 hours of freetime instead of 3 hours of freetime, but NEVER challenge myself ever! what if I don't like it and it hurts my feelings! fuck you buddy
Same goes for gaming. Why does it matter if you can't beat it all in one sitting? Just learn the bosses patterns, come back to it later, learn their phase 2 and beat them or whatever. Not only that but he's literally playing journo-core open world slop shit like Horizon.

I also didn't have any problems with my body until I started working out. I fucked up my knees and it doesn't look like they're ever going to recover since it was almost a year ago.

dying on normal

Huh

Older folks weren't around to tell you this, but we can.
If you are in your 40s and you are not married with 2-3 children, you are basically dead.

So there's nothing wrong in dying in hedonism. It's over by that time.

I don't lift anything past 50lbs exactly to avoid joint pains. But merely stretching and doing light cardio can do wonders for things like back pain.

yet your body is failing at the same age, curious

Come now good Amerigolem surely you can open your obese, mcdonalds grease encrusted eyelids for but a moment

If you don't care what you look like, then the kind of girls you like probably don't either. The guys I know who fuck the most girls are all short, fat, brown and balding, but they also only fuck other fat chicks or cute white girls with BPD. If you have high standards for others, you're going to have high standards for yourself.

I got better at vidya in my 30s. Before that, I played like a retard, barely understanding the game mechanics.

I don't know what that is. I don't know what you're trying to show me. Why is it taking you twenty posts to lure me into a response instead of just responding like a functional human being?

I don't think it would make a difference for most millennials. You need to start early, and if you didn't then well it's over. If this guy tried to looksmax he'd be in a grave before he made any progress it's an uphill battle past your mid twenties, where as if you start before and especially if you start in your teens it's a downhill slide

Just swim

I pull 20-25 year olds with various mental illnesses as a 3Xyo overweight but well groomed computer wizard and gun aficionado. If there's something that's truly annoying it's girls who actually believe they're drop dead gorgeous and don't feel bad about it though. They don't actually have to look the part to believe it. That's the one red flag among many.

Your brain seems to have already failed

how do you find them?

see that's the thing
if you start looksmaxxing, you start maxxing everything else in your life and realize that vidya is kind of a waste of time

i hate fat faggot redditors like this so much. i'm a 32 year old single father and still manage to play 5-6 hours of vidya daily and i would literally honor kill myself if i ever even considered putting a game on easy

Retard missed his chance to make an actually funny joke. All he had to do was make it so he died the same way in easy mode.

I don't get it. Are people in their 30s actually bad at games? I'm almost 35 and I still play stuff like Sekiro charmless with the bell on, or DMC on DMD, and shooters on the highest difficulty settings. Do you fags just not take care of your bodies and start losing your senses and reflexes?

work, walks, cons

Not bad, but you are definitely worse than you would have been in the past. There's a reason why the pro-gaming scene is dominated by people in their early 20s.

They probably never had those skills to begin with. Reaction times, reflexes and all that shit isn't innate, it's trained. And they COULD train them to a good level if they just practiced by they give up instantly (This is also why they are fat).

I believe the current 28 to 32 year olds are looks and gymmaxing right now

True as soon as i turned 30 i started to going to the gym and care about my appearance, it's been a year since i started and i still have progress to make but i look way better than before

vidya is good cognitive training but I wouldn't play more than 30 mins a day

Can you degenerate normalfags go somewhere else? This is a board for Anon Babbleirgins.

Good shit, anon.
Proud of you!

but you are definitely worse than you would have been in the past

There is not a single game I played when I was younger that I play now and have measurably more trouble with, nor do I have any problem being near the top of the leaderboards for any competitive games I happen to play. There probably is some decline happening, but I haven't noticed it in any aspect of my life.

I'm convinced it's a lack of exercise coupled with poor diet.

If you feel the need to lower the difficulty of a game you're playing because you died, then you're playing the game for the wrong reasons.
Go and watch a movie or read a book.

I will be 17 forever ass post

Feels good to beat the game, feels terrible to have a bullet sponge stop that

How is any of those things a millennial thing just because you keep seeing this phenotype of person making this exact same kind of social media video like they are some sort of bee mindhive??Go get shot in the streets you conformation bias nigger

I've just always been "bad" at video games and I don't care, because I only play single player games anyways and always have. It's always just been a way for me to unwind, after school when I was a kid, and after work all of my adult life. I don't understand people who get competitive about solitary hobbies, and I barely understand the people who get competitive about competitive hobbies.
I remember being a kid and then a teenager, playing various sports with my friends, and occasionally tanking a punch to the face and just standing there like lolwut because I just couldn't comprehend someone getting so mad about a game of basketball to throw a punch over it. Those were some of the only fights I wouldn't engage in, just because they always seemed so absurd to me, I'd just bertstare and check the ball.

Why? What's the point? Looksmaxxing is for the phase of life where you are actually hot, young, and stupid enough to make mistakes. I did all my fucking and idiocy from 15-25. 10+ gfs later and I don't want to live with another woman as long as I live. My goal is to live as off grid as possible while still having grid connection. Life has seasons and all that shit you mentioned is a young man's obsession and domain. Nothing wrong with that at all. It is sad when someone id in their late 30s and still obsessed with it. Similar energy to women in their late 30s trying to spawn their first kid.

whoa

Might as well just watch a long play video on YouTube.

Nothing
But you waive any right to talk about difficulty or games that don't have difficulty settings in them

The only time I turned down the difficulty was at the end of Tales of Arise, not because it was hard but because it was tedious and I was over it, just wanted to see the end.

That's why I said "would have been." Your biological peak is in your late teens, but there's an environmental factor which takes time and effort to take advantage of, and this causes people's effective peaks for various tasks to be strewn about between their teens, twenties and even into their thirties. But even then, your actual experienced peak could be at any age, because you might just not try when you're younger. Someone who doesn't exercise and eats like shit will have terrible health in their youth, but they could have a change of heart in their later years and get in shape, and then they can be 50 and say, "I'm in the best shape of my life," and while that's true, it's not because being 50 is a good thing, it's because he squandered the period where his innate health was at its best.

I've never played a game that I couldn't beat or got genuinely stuck on one part. The very concept of it is baffling for me.

I don't understand people who get competitive about solitary hobbies

It's not about being competitive. It's about wondering how someone who's played games for their whole life can be bad at them. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I gave up on the final boss of Shinobi on PS2.
It still haunts me.

why does he look like that

You sound like a spearchucker.

I did all my fucking and idiocy from 15-25

Civilized people don't do "fucking and idiocy" at all. You're a fast life history strategist and now you're old and don't know what to do with your life, because historically, you should've died by now due to your high risk lifestyle, but modern society - a society built by better people than you - keeps you alive. And for what? So you can shit up video game discussions, I guess...

That game was a ballbuster for sure. I've been meaning to replay it. I think I'll do that sooner rather than later.

You probably just avoided the genuinely tough games all your life.

You wont be able to shit out a ketsui 2 all even if you've been playing vidya for 3 decades straight, or a smash TV arcade 1CC, or a perfect pacman run.

No ifs no buts, go fuck yourself and switch to watching goyslop movies instead. Or read visual novels kek

Nice non-response.

this

And ironically I'm actually a legit 145 IQ specimen. Funny how that bellcurve meme holds true. The ego has an insane hold over normies who cannot age gracefully and adjust their priorities. In general this is all an extension of the remarkable human capacity for adaptation to the norm. It provides great resiliency to hardship but the double edged sword is that it also causes eternal discontent and a feeling of dissatisfaction. Addicts chasing a new high and never at peace. Just one more bench pr, just one more new car, just one more just one more. When are you going to address the root yearning and look the systems at play square in the eye? Again, this is not advice or relevant to young guys. It's important to engage with each phase of life as they come. It's also important to let them go.

late 30s here and im still perfectly fine, the only retards who lose their "touch" so to speak are probably either mega stressed and fatigued daily or are developping arthritis and dont even know it yet.

One of my coworkers is in his mid 20s and raving about that game. He's also telling me that I'm not going to be able to perfect parry the bosses consistently. I checked and the timing on parries is .15 seconds, which is only a little tighter than Sekiro's .2 seconds. I looked forward to clipping some gameplay of perfect boss parries and making him upset. He's the type of person who "plays game to relax and doesn't want them too hard" so he tries to lump everyone in with himself.

This mf'er.

I have plenty of time to game after work and working out.

All the while dude's roommate has to sweep up his doritos and Mt. Dew cans he left throughout the apartment.

Vibing, manifesting creative ideas, laughing at people who think attainment and attachment don't also come with a massive burden of effort and responsibility. And for what?

How fucking stupid and buttmad do you have to be to read a post from someone who plays a variety of games on the highest difficulty settings and then say "Oh yeah? Well if you can't do this challenge that people who spend thousands of hours playing a single game do, then you can't actually play hard games?" Really, how fucking stupid and buttmad?

get called a retard using pointless hyperbole

get so buttmad that you resort to parroting someone's words

So the answer is "extremely stupid and buttmad." You're shit at games. Some of us aren't, and that makes you angry. Get over it.

thats not elden ring

how long did it take you to see notice improvements?

Horizong. Of all things, a sony slop is too hard for him. FAAAAAG!

This. I can admit it's a lil weird. There is space for an AM demarcation, but it doesn't have one. Light obviously turns off when it turns to 12:00. Pretty easy to understand that means AM.

To be fair...i struggled greaaatly with Sekiro parrying BS, but Clair obscur felt a looot easier to parry, even if it's around 0.15 seconds or so, the parry windows feel very fair and easy especially with the sound cues.

when i played horizon, it was too boring so i set it to game journalist difficulty

I haven't play Clair yet but it's turn based so you're not running around or really "thinking" in 3D space. You know when it's the enemy's turn and you know when they're attack so it's really just timing.

playing too many video games, I say!

Somehow he has enough free time to make faggot videos on tiktok about his Ls in life.

Third post best fucking post. These fucking losers were always losers whether they played video games or not. Noticed how this is the same faggot that complains that games are too long and then will have no satisfaction from beating the game in 4 hours due to how short and easy it was, getting their short retarded dopamine. Instead of leaving the difficulty on Hard, taking his sweet time to enjoy and take in the game so his brain can make him feeling better from hardship and then the reward of Winning. But nah, baby manchild faggot has to consume everything in a day so he can get to his other retarded small dopamine hit from another game.

His physiognomy betrays him too, imagine not having 1 hour a day to go to the gym and optimizing your hormones.

Yes anon, thats what i meant...
Clair Obscur's parrying is muuuuch easier than Sekiro and thats my point.
Sekiro would filter the fuck out of most players except the hardcore/ and or the autists.

These are the types of people who spend their waking hours posting on xitter and scrolling through reddit/tiktok/instagram
Don't take anything they say seriously, just nod and move on.

Yes anon, thats what i meant...

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just expounding on your idea.

Sekiro would filter the fuck out of most players except the hardcore/ and or the autists.

I really don't think Sekiro is that bad on "normal" mode.

back when i was at university, there was a time where i genuinely only had 1-2 hours to spare for gaming and Cuphead had just came out. all i did was set my expectations low and spend my 1 to 2 hours to either barely beat a boss, or maybe get halfway through beating the boss and then come back tomorrow.
why do people feel the need of "i need to rush through this game as soon as possible"? sure, to beat a 30 hour game you're gonna spend 30 individual days playing it 1 hour each, but what's the rush? do you really need to beat the game right now so you can go and play another one? do you not enjoy playing the game?

You are probably doing squats wrong and yes, jogging fucks up your knees.

only have a wrinkle in my forehead

people think I look mid 20s

appropriate weight for my height

don't feel any more tired than when I was 18

How do people hit the wall so hard? Is it drugs and alcohol? Because I've been straight edge my entire life.

Is it drugs and alcohol

actually yeah

Kids put the hurt on

the people who picked the aldecaldo ending

Drugs, alcohol, lack of sleep, not drinking enough water, shit diet, no exercise. You'd be surprised how fucking lazy people are, they want to do the bare minimum, real NPCs out there.

Come on dude he looks fine for someone in his 30's. He could lose some weight, and sure enough, his face is punchable, but people in the thread are acting like he's a crackhead at the gas station.

Antinatalists win again.

These are the signs that a game is gonna be slop.
- You're not locked into the difficulty you pick at the start.
- Always on, on-screen compass.
- Fast travel that's not properly contextualized.
- Unlimited respec.

These are the signs that a game is gonna be slop.

You are cool

Freudian slip.

No you wouldn't you dumbass, that's a myth only retards still believe

im 30 and i still havent found a job that i can keep longer than six months

having inattentive adhd is a curse i wouldnt wish on anybody, i cant even focus on what my best friend says to me without extreme conversation

I like that this works so well without sound

Not him but looks wise? About four months before I could really say I looked better.
Attitude and energy wise? Pretty much immediately. I felt better than I had in years.

skill issues. i still play hard and i'm over 35.

I’m 32, and a father. Even if I suck at a game I’ll refuse to play easy mode.

Purely a pride thing at this point. I’ve never had to resort to that shit, and I’m not going to now (especially AAA Sonyslop). Either get good or quit, don’t half ass your life

30

Looks almost 60

Thats just sad. Why even play game sif youre going to do this? Just watch a movie.

Im 33 and have a family and a job myself but i work nights so i play games when i get home and everyone is still asleep on the early morning.

Wtf, what is the point of playing if not for the challenge

Anon Babblemalelivingspace

Beating something on easy defeats the purpose of playing the game which consists of overcoming a challenge through learning and mastering game mechanics. Without a challenge you basically skipping the important part.

sif

dark souls reference. I knew you were based

Games are made for children, not man children.

if you are swapping to easy mode "because you have no time", why not just watch a video on 2x speed? saves you time, effort, money and you get the same level of enjoyment

I'm not even 30 yet... but I finally got a job this year after years of being a college student, but almost living like a NEET, during the pandemic especially... and having less free time makes my play time more enjoyable, I look forward to it more, but I agree, I'll switch to easier settings often and quit whenever I'm not really enjoying it, and I've never enjoyed video games as much as now.

I switch to easy mode sometimes because I want to relax. Been going through some shit recently and challenge isn't really what I need from vidya.

Getting worse at video games as you get older is pure cope and retardation. The degradation of your reaction time is so minimal that it doesn't matter until you're literally in your 70s unless you happen to get a disease or illness that fucks with your brain or hands. You're just going to stop playing vidya as much for whatever reason, and then you'll slip up when you do play games again because you're out of the habit.
As has been pointed out by this thread already, the retard in the OP webm isn't even playing the game to enjoy it at that point, he's getting more "fun" out of telling the game he paid for to fuck off.

Nah this is lowtest fat faggot plebbit cope from a retard who doesn't bother to take care of his physical well being. I'm in my 30's, work doing physical manual labor, and still have the time and energy to play vidya on usually Hard or normal depending on the type of difficulty, if its smater then its Hard, if its Numbers then its sometimes Normal.
It's literally this easy

Wake up at 7:30 and go to work at 9:30

Get home around 5pm

Don't gotta go to bed until 12, 12:30

Including time I gotta cook food, take a shower, get ready, that leaves me with a solid 5 - 6 hours free for vidya.

I only work 4 days a week too so I've got plenty of time for vidya, browsing Anon Babble, watching movies and shows, reading manga, watch animu, playin vidya with friends, TTRPG's, working out.

My nigga. I moved to start a new job kind of recently and I've been lazy about going to a new gym here, but once I start that I'll be living a similar lifestyle.

game in OP is European, obsessed-kun

Working kills the soul

so finish your games more slowly then. fucking retard faggot

The older I get the less I want to continue playing video games. I don't know what to do with the time, though.

If you are 30+ and still playing on a fucking console, you deserve to die.

If I'm playing something hard it's because I enjoy it not because it's something to check off a list to move on to the next game.

I'm more open to trying higher difficulties now that I'm in my 30s because I just have more patience and take games way slower compared to when I was a kid.

but death stranding 2 is coming out

And it'll be shit just like the first one.

If a game isn't worth playing on the highest difficulty mode it's a shit game.

Easy is so braindead that at that point you aren't really interacting with any of the game mechanics anymore. It's like watching an annoying let's play.

Wypipo do be like that

mfw gaming in my 40s

Fucking faggot

Nigger men look like debra Wilson at age 30 lmao

plays on console

playing a shitty normie movie game

doesn't actually want to overcome a reasonable challenge just wants to be able to say they "beat it" to fit in

literally no point in even playing video games

Fuck that. The best feeling you can get from gaming is when you finally beat that boss that you have been struggling with for hours/days.

is Human Lifespan only 40?

Yes if you don't spec into tribe chief grandpa, and that's not very meta unless thrust onto you.

My uncle turned 60 this year and has beaten every Souls games with challenge runs and plays all his games on hard difficulty up. He really loves Resident Evil, and Fallout specifically though

He's blonde so he's more susceptible to health problems

why do you play games if not for a challenge?

I have more time than ever to play games but find it a struggle to even start a game I enjoy. When I do manage to start a game I don't play it long because it makes time go too fast.

Not offiing myself is enough of a challenge I don't want that shit from my games too

I have shitload of time and I still don't enjoy games.

that’s like saying why watch movies unless it’s the criterion collection

I play to relax after a stressful day

I'd rather spend a month on a game than ever debase myself by lowering the difficulty.

If he were playing an actual tough game, I would understand.
But how is Horizon too difficult? Does this actually happen to you when you're in your 30's?

If I find myself failing to even complete AAA slop, I'm calling it quits. On life.

The "getting bad at games in your 30s" thing is a complete meme.

I'm better at all my hobbies in my 30s. Gaming, piano and fitter then ever.

This shit only matters if you're already the top 0.01% of your hobby/field/sport

The real reason people get shit at things in their 30s is
a) they don't practice hard enough
b) what time they spend engaging with their hobby is poor practice (ie not active learning)
c) they were always bad but just thought they were good because they had more time to brute force their way through things

It's complete cope by people who are shit at everything they thought they were good at but can't accept that reality, so they lie and pretended they've only just now become bad at it and they used to "totally be good at X, but ahh, I'm in my 30s now, that's why I'm not anymore!!!"

Does this actually happen to you when you're in your 30's?

Not if you were actually good to begin with. Short of genuine sudden health collapses I haven't noticed a single one of my friends suddenly get bad at games in their (early) 30's, but we're all try hard losers so that may be it

This

Makes the entire experience more disposable, and for what? So you can shovel more slop more efficiently

I am in my mid 30s and just hit my first 400lb deadlift and have gotten more 1CCs in the past year than at any other point in my life. I have a family and career but I realized that in the years it took to get myself into a stable position, my personal time was becoming dead air and it was making me miserable.

Life feels better when you put effort into things for its own sake

It's just the new wave of zoomers. They're all freaking out because they're hitting their mid-20s and statistically none of them have careers or families yet.

(ie not active learning)

We all have that friend playing 30 hours of Dota/CS/whatever a week who is as bad as they were when they started, and that other friend who surpassed them in 4 weeks (OK it's Anon Babble maybe many of you don't have friends)

People really don't understand that spending time on something won't make you better automatically, excepting maybe some 'noob gains'

why aren't you lifting the man made metal and then putting it on the ground and then lifting it and then putting it on the ground and then lifting it and then putting it on the ground and then lifting it and then putting it on the ground and then lifting it and then putting it on the ground

I am in my mid 30s and just hit my first 400lb deadlift

I hope you weren't using a belt or straps.

"30"

Looks 50

What happened to millennials?

we yoosed tah be on the telly we did!

it's true

This was a 30 year-old in 1989.

I was not

Glasses cause strabismus. This is the reason why they never recommend contact lenses. They need you stuck with a bad vision and lazy eyes to sell more glasses. Take the lensespill.

just watch the game on youtube at that point

I'm in my late 30s and never would switch to easy. If anything I'll just say to hell with this shit and go masturbate. Then come back the next day and try again. My body won't like if I pull an all nighter anymore, but its okay if I can take my time with a game. There's barely anything to play anyway.

Well, they are British.

30 this year

feels same as in my twenties

shit's overblown

jesus fuck why can't you retards just use 24-hour like normal societies

people like this are so fucking annoying, they'd rather throw everybody else in their age group under the bus instead of facing the fact that they might not be good at or interested in a game

I dunno, why can't your country land on the moon?

Good man. Now get up to repping 4pl8 comfortably and hitting 5pl8 for a 1RM. That's when the real fun starts.

If you play on easy and are not retarded, stop gaming.

pfft lmao
I hit that shit when I was 20. My buddy hit that when he was 18. But aren't fat like you so good on ya for trying at least.

shitting on people who are trying but making progress slowly

Ask me how I know your lifts are shit.

this is why I hate talking about fitness online, there are always faggots like this guy. Even if he is telling the truth (unlikely), he's a complete fag for putting down another lifter trying to improve himself. what a shitty community of trying people that should be about trying to better themselves and build themselves up.

trying but making progress slowly

If you've just started "trying" when you're 30 fucking years old, you've made some horrible decisions your entire life. Now get to lifting, tubby. And if you need a spotter, ask the jannies for help lmaooooo

TSMT
why isn't unc mewing and also larping as as an esoteric aryan chudcel crusader viking warrior just like andrew tate told you to do during your looksmaxxing, whitemaxxing and tatemaxxing sessions?

This lady looks to be at least mid40s.
t. 39 y/o boomer

I'm not him, you dumb fuck. I hit 4pl8 when I was 20. I know your lifts are shit because only insecure faggots (like you) bother people who didn't get past the 2/3/4 range in their early 20s. Some people just need longer to make that change in their life or are stick figures, and anyone who actually lifts is always helpful about.

He has a house, wife, and kids. He's more successful than you ever will be.

the only game that filter me recently was crash bandicoot trilogy, I just don’t have the patience I had as a kid.

because "getting good" at a video game is one of the most worthless skills you can possibly acquire

some of the most fun i have with a videogame was when i challenge myself to beat games on hard, like beating ys 9 on nightmare mode from the start.

human brain is hardwired to chase the best way to do the bare minimum and get the maximum reward
its biological, some understand this and overcome it, majority dont

Teaches patience, persistence, achieving goals for purely personal reasons

If it's the only thing you do with your time sure it's a waste but practicing arcade games has without a doubt improved other areas of my life

I'm sure you did, chub chub. Now be a good cuck and tell the 30-year old manchild how to switch his games to easy, and how to do proper deadies. Then you and your bf might even be part of the 500 club one day. That's lifted weight btw, fatty, not current weight so don't get too excited lul

I’ve reproduced so my appearance doesn’t matter and I enjoy food
Die mad about it

don’t known about you but pikmin teach me how to manage my time when i was a kid

why are we all acting like we dont do this?

they did some kind of drug, there's no other explanation. Your body just don't dry out like that except bottom right.

once y'all get older, you'll understand..

I'm sure you did, chub chub.

I hit 4pl8 while weighing 165lbs. I hit 5pl8 around a body weight of 185. You're a fucking retard and your lifts are shit. That was also years ago when I was weaker. I'll never be fat. You'll never be strong. You'll always be a fucking idiot.

It's more like the older you get the less patience you have for stupid shit. As a kid, I'd cope and struggle through to get to the "good part" but now if it's not immediately fun I instantly uninstall.

This I can relate to. I still play hard games that are good, but I have less patience for shitty games and shitty mechanics.

This video isn't accurate because I'm not stupid enough to play Horizon.

because life is already a challenge

SO HERE I AM

I died 100 times to Needle Knight Leda and all her homies in the Elden Ring's DLC with a dex build. It's the only time I've been broken by a boss in any video game and it's the only time I used summons in all souls games. Big regrets and I feel guilty about it still. I felt like I was going to end up in a mental asylum if I kept doing attempts that day. All the bosses besides that were pretty easy.
