Come and get something off your chest!

I'm very close to giving up video games entirely.

I have maybe at most one more console cycle in me before I give it up, at the very least a couple more titles to burn in my backlog before never picking up a controller again.

The hobby and the games that have come out aren't fun anymore. They're busy work.

Seeing how this is GAF, would you blame Microsoft for this trend?

I have a PS4 and while I'm still mainly clearing out last gen games right now, I can't wait to see the games the current gen will produce.
 
I wonder if I'll be single forever. I'm already past the age of the excuse that there is someone for everyone working on me anymore. Trying dating apps and had a guy ask me if my weight in my profile was a typo. Told him no and I think he blocked me. I'll never understand why people are against suicide. There are people like me that really cannot have a life in this world.

Wow....That last sentence is really sad. I can't relate to your specific situation, but I do know firsthand how much being alone sucks. Our society seems to be set up to prevent people from making meaningful connections, but I believe that happiness has a way of finding us if we're bold enough to chase it. Identify what will make you happy and step out of your comfort zone to achieve it.....sorry for sounding cheesy
 
I've heard/read this a lot. I can't say I feel the same because I just haven't been able to play games the past few years, but I think I understand how you feel.

What do you think is missing in the games that would bring you enjoyment?

I can't completely explain it, but I've played enough video games since the age of 5 to go cold turkey and say "no mas" and commit to other hobbies long term.

I don't think any more online experiences or competitive gaming is the solution either.

What? No.

I'm more of a core gamer. I go where the software goes. Platform doesn't matter too much to me unless core gameplay is affected.
 
You know what? You guys are right... Better to try and (possibly) fail (hopefully succeed) than to not try at all and wonder what may have been. I've got some film ideas I've always wanted to see so I might start trying to develop them and see where I go! You guys and gals are awesome!
 
I just got a 76 on a philosophy midterm and it's bothering me way more than it should. I've suddenly lost any urge to try in this class, and it's not helping my tendency to not care period lately.

Failure is a delicious cake of knowledge. You will learn more from a failure than a success.

I Also have film ideas, but I have trouble crafting a whole story.
 
I have increased sales on one particular sales channel by 500% over last year which involved alot of work and good decision making.

Nobody seems to care here.

Been feeling that way for a while now. I have some great games in my backlog that I don't even have the desire to play really. I bought them since they were so cheap but can't find the urge to even play them. I'm going to try and burn through them soon since after KH 2.5, I'll be pretty much done with my PS3 as far as games go.
 
Delivery people of all sorts are shit at least half the time. The number of times I've been inconvenienced because one can't get inside my building when all they have to do is use the FUCKING CALL BOX is absolutely infuriating. Gotta go to the post office today to pick up two boxes that should have been easy drop-offs.

How the hell is USPS out delivering at 10:33PM anyway? That is what the slip claimed. I could be looking at porn for an extra 45 minutes this morning, but no, I have to go to the post office instead.
 
I wish there was a way to change the way we are hardwired. I hate how I easily become invested in girls and emotionally dependent on them when we are in a relationship. I've tried to change it but it's practically impossible. No matter how aware I am of it and how much I try to step away from it, something happens and I end up returning to default.

Sometimes I wish I could just not give a fuck. But I can't - I'm simply not wired that way. Being a Gemini sucks.
 
I've talked about this in the gay Gaf thread so here goes. I've been weight training for two years, went from a scrawny 150 lbs to 164lbs. I've been hovering at that weight now for 6 months....hitting a plateau. When I've asked the bigger guys at the gym or guys I know how they have gotten bigger the common answer is that they have done at least once cycle of steroids in their past ( some have done more or are doing another at the moment). Yes, I know training and eating clean is important, and that's another response I get in addition, but juicing is the one I get in private conversations. So now I'm in the midst of interval debate of whether I need to take this approach. That being said, I also have terrible self esteem, and insecurities, and I freely admit that I train partly because I seek validation and want to look good to attract hunky guys (who also seem to juice). I've also been rejected on hook up apps for being too small and not "muscular enough". To the point that I haven't had sex in 3 months even though I live in a city with the third largest gay population in North America. All this rejection is ruining my head space. And it hurts. It sucks because I don't want to do steroids for the obvious health reasons and it's so expensive.
