Acceptance of reality. I recommend trying it some day.

>>3171542
If this is the largest issue present in your day to day function, then just smile and relax. Christ.

>>3171542
dunno i just play games Im not autistic.

>>3171542
I cope by lowering myself to the level of an emufag.

Then I flagellate myself afterwards.
Because I deserve it.

Quality opinion

All those jrpgs
Play some real games

>>3171553
This.
I was like OP but after my life has gotten busier I've just had to accept I gotta be more selective about the games I want to play, rather than play everything. At least I have a log of about 400 completed games, so that's nice. My "coping" mechanism has been to remove lower tier interests from my enormous backlog, which used to include about 3500 videogames, ranging across most systems, years and scenes, including a bunch of doujin shit. I've managed to trim it down gradually to like 50 games I wanna finish.

>>3171654
OP here, that's a good plan. What I've been doing is pretending my backlog is only a maximum of 5 games long, focus on beating those 5 or fewer games, then building a new backlog. I call them my "playlists" and I try to stick to them pretty diligently.

>>3171542
Dont need one because i dont have crippling ocd and i just play w/e i want on an emulator. Feels amazing!

>>3171905
You deserve to die a really, REALLY, painfully slow death. Like ASAP.

FUCK YOU

>>3171913
But who's going to play the games in OP's pic in perfect emulation with my i7 rig and big ol' 4k monitor?

Stay salty you whacky little bitch, top fucking kek.

>>3171542
I just go back to playing Space Harrier

That and alcoholism

>>3171651
I was pretty impressed he actually included a bunch of western games in there, no discrimination

Most of that stuff isn't for me but he's following his shining star, good for OP

>>3171571
To fallegate is to wallow across a surface as a microscopic organism by user of a tendril-like appendage. Did you mean you fellate yourself?

>>3171917
>SNES
>4K

I hope you emulate NGPC on 4K too you worthless faggot

>>3171938
Yes, yes I would like some salt to go with those fries.

>>3171847
How do you decide what goes in your backlog and what stays?

>>3171542
Easy, I don't keep a back log of any kind.

When you keep a back log it is bound to become impossibly huge and then you can become overwhelmed by it. I learned that by doing it with movies in the past.

All I do is every now and then I'll just load up an emulator and look though a compleate rom set, find a name I'm not familiar with and load it at random.

I'll make notes of games I liked and just 4-5 words of why I liked them if I wanted to revisit them, but otherwise, I've played FAR more games (and found diamonds in the rough) just loading up ones at random then I ever did with a list.

Can this whole board be deleted already?

>>3171932
never thought of the etymology of it

but flagellate is indeed harm, perhaps its a flagellum that got its name by resembling a whip's movement, as farmer harms his animals.

>>3171542
Don't worry OP, I have the same issue.

I'm not that much of a conpletionist, though. My issues the other way around. I own a ton of games, but after I get a couple hours in to one, I get really curious about another. It can be a real pain sometimes.

By far, my worst issue is not knowing exactly what I want to play. For example, a few days ago, I had the day off from work, and I was in the mood to play a JRPG. I started playing through some of my old standbys, but they weren't exactly what I had in mind.

I spent the whole day trying out roms, after that. That, in itself was a bit of fun, though.

This, literally was a shitposting thread, turned into an emulation shitposting thread, don't derail the thread because you emulate you fucking fags

>>3171542
I play the first 10 minutes of the game.

If it feels like a chore I stop playing and watch a speedrun on youtube at x2 speed.

Consider it complete.

>>3171553
Well that's just silly. No one here is going to do that.

It actually makes me happy because I know I'll never run out of stuff to play no matter how shitty modern games get.

Also for the modern games I do buy, I don't bother getting them at release because I have so much other stuff to play, and then I get the modern game for like $5 later on.

>>3171542

Have you tried being an adult?

Well for starters I'm not an anal retentive completionist.

>>3171991
I pick five of my top-tier interests and put anything else on the backburner. It is hard to decide which games are the five at a time, but I manage

>>3173383
Clearly that will be impossible for several years.

I'm still holding out for immortality to be discovered in my life time.
