>tfw haven't touched my gaming PC in years

Is this how growing up happens? Losing all energy/motivation to enjoy everything after a long day at work? I'm 26 and all I want to do is bust nuts, chill, and make money.

It's probably not that you don't enjoy games anymore but don't enjoy them in the limited time window you are able to play it. I don't bother to play anything for the 2 hours I got the time for it.. no point in starting some game that I am not able to finish in a one smooth run interrupted only by little sleep and occasional fap.

The weekend is not enough for most of the newer RPGs or some RTSs.. that's why I dedicate one of my yearly vacations for gaming only. I don't give a fuck if that makes me a retard or a manchild being 31, but last year 2 weeks of Witcher 3 in December was the best vacation I had in years.

>> No.14418982

>>14418946
I thought the same until I joined the telegram and the nice anons helped me set it up. It was actually pretty easy. Since its still early you would be able to mine with difficulty being low. Again, its like Bitcoin but deflationary so the early adopters will be rewarded greatly. Check it. btcsov.com . Join the telegram if you need help.

True, I think it also has to do with the community aspect of it too. Back when we were younger video games had communities, making friends, etc. I've even went to a guild meet up, we had a fucking blast, playing poker losing money, just fucking around and being wankers. Games these days lack that social aspect because people want everything handed to them/not work with others.

"Growing up" happens once you question your behavior. It fills you up with self doubt and saddens you, rationalizing an acceptance ("this is how it is to grow up").
Deep down we will all be kids till our hair grows grey and even then.
The most enjoyment is found in playfulness and curiosity we had as childs and still contains within us.

Self doubt like you just demonstrated is what's causing us to be miserable.

We replace things we enjoy. Crypto may simulate the playfulness and enjoyment video games gave you, so you replaced it.

I've really stopped relating to my old group of friends ever since they got heavily into twitch. It just makes me feel like they've become completely brain dead. The only bigger waste of time I can think of than playing video games is sitting for hours and watching somebody else play video games. Not only that, they say those gay emotes IRL like some kind of autistic 14 year old. These guys are almost 30. It's pathetic.

I just hope I can make enough money from crypto to move up the social ladder a little bit and make some friends with real life hobbies and goals. Literally anything is better than sitting around talking about your favorite streamer on bitch.tv
