Play skill based video game that releases lots of adrenaline

Play CASUALLY. A game is usually not meant to be stressful. If it causes chronic stress then it isn't a game for you.

>be 17 year old me
>love playing video game but reaching that age where its harder and harder to ask money from parent to buy silly computer game
>get high sometime since its high school
>one day get high a play TF2 or the first time

since that day i cant seriously play video game anymore an now that i graduated from college i cant get high anymore because of work and responsibilities, only legal drug are literally pathologic so get drunk like once a month. the only thing left is the liftin +playing sports
>tfw yesterday i pull my back stunnin on some young at the rec

I remember I was almost shaking the first time I fought monsoon in mgr but it passed quickly

>play dota
>people take it super seriously
>lose their shit at the tiniest incident
>argue for the entirety of the game with teammate in allchat/voice chat
>throw the game at 50 minutes
>this is 3000 mmr fucking unranked games
Don't be this person

If it doesn't give you adrenaline rush, then what's the point of playing?

>being scared of liking things because most others don't

Hilarious.

This thread is seriously about being tired to lift after playing video games?????????????
What the hell is wrong with you millenial faggots???
You really are the most pathetic generation to ever have sprouted!
I can't believe you whimps aren't ashemed to write this down in pubic!

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

The entire population browses Veeky Forums and the shitposts and ecstacy from making a neckbeard /v/tard rage are heaven.

But you know how Veeky Forums users are, they'll pick any little fault and exploit it to the max. So you work really hard to not give them a fault so you can watch them gloriously rage.

Any skill based PvP game can bring that feeling on.

Rainbow Six probably gets me the most. Stuck in a 1v5 on match point. Heart starts racing, hands start trebling then by the end after I've rekt the entire enemy team my hands visibly shake like fuck.

It's the most glorious game ever for duels especially.

>100% skill based
>neckbeard virgin Veeky Forums population
>easy to bait faggots and watch them rage

As the best player on the game (Cap'n Jack) there is nothing that will ever compare to these experiences, that I share with you friends.

Cheating isn't fun

>Enjoying anything I don't enjoy
>Kys

Can't cheat on the PS4. I'm just good at the game.

I used to love chivalry, I have every veteran helmet for every class, but I hate what it's become. Autistic feinting while doing unpredictable swings that look rediculous.

Aim assisted shooter, wow

chiv is goat

I love harrassing teammate scrubs that deserve it, then make them teamkill me and kick them

There's no aim assist either on consoles for R6. Try again, fgt

As a MAA (kingpin MAA I'm literally the best chiv player) I love when they dance around with their ballerina moves.

I stab them and chop off their heads.

>video of me owning famous chiv player
youtube.com/watch?v=w7zMVQw0Q20

Oh, so everyone has potatoe aim because aiming is literally skill capped to that because of the retarded input device.

Ooooh, a PC elitist. Bet you're fun at parties.

I don't give a shit who plays what.
But boasting about skills in a ego shooter while playing that on a fucking console is just ridiclious.

Any other game: sure, no problem.
But not a shooter user. It just doesn't work.

That sounds fucking sad. Trash pc gaming, buy playstation, turn off voice chat, enjoy gaming in a casual setting again.

Clearly you do

No

This

implying games aren't normie as shit

>thinking Chivalry is normie
>at all

I really enjoy overwatch because it's the frist shooter in a long time I have actual fun on
getting rid of KD and actually having asymmetrical characters has made it like the old days of playing shooters

the whole hyper competitive scene is so overrated
the most fun I had on shooters ever was running noob tubes and oma on mw2 to make people rage

Duck off to Facebook normie cunt

>But boasting about skills in a ego shooter while playing that on a fucking console is just ridiclious.
This. Playing something like quake live on PC versus COD on xbone isn't even comparable haha

May I ask, with the overwhelming consensus of this thread being that video games are juvenile, how looked upon are girls who seriously play video games past 25? Fit, no uggo, good games, but cripplingly introverted, so absolutely 0 contact with the popular kids. How despised/rejected would I be if I ever made friends and told them my free time is spent 50/50 between gaming and fitness/painting? Would I be more accepted if I lie about it?

>implying you're actually a girl

Literally Team Fortress 2: Blizzard edition

Girls are supposed to be social creatures. Introverted ones (of any age) are an aberration.

I think the only negative there is you are shy.
may be hard for guys to get to know you, they may assume you don't like them because you squirm when they talk to you, and they take that as something based on them, and not you just being shy.

fuck that was wordy.
TLDR
girl gamer is fine, its just a niche

>Do a killer 1.5 roid assisted arm work out
>performance in raids drops because my fatigued arms and hands cannot keep up with the incredible amount of skill needed to play wow

nobody notices anyway cause im a healer

There is no respectable way for me to prove you wrong, and doing so would derail the thread further. Hypothetically if you made a new friend and they were already very shy and socially awkward, how would you feel about them if their interests mostly revolved around video games? Not "I play Zelda on the Wii u teehee" but "I invest more time in my games than you will find acceptable".

>Enjoying life at all
Pathetic

just play games after lifting retard

Freudian slip user?

I go to the gym a lot and play video games a lot......You can balance them out -_____-

You're right. It doesn't make making friends easy either (if you prefer like-minded people).

Well Uhh. Fuck. Thanks for the feels user, I suppose my incapability to maintain eye contact is read as dismissive or unfriendly too. Thank you for your reply, I need to work more on my social skills, it will be a little easier if I don't have to lie about my hobbies or make up new ones.

What games do you play?

I'm 29 and all I really do now is lift, got bored of games, but then again all I did was mostly play WoW.

....The part about "good games" was not entirely true. Currently Ds1/ds3/civ5/DayZ [thisshouldbespoilered]league[/spoiler]

Well aren't you a nerd

>Tfw on fire with Tracer in overwatch and getting a 50+ elim game

You are welcome :)

I have come from the same spot as you, truly.
Be honest, with yourself and to yourself. If you pretend you are somebody else you will attract the wrong people, probably worse than being alone (in the long run) IMO
So don't lie about your hobbies its counter productive haha!

There's a quote along the lines of "bring what's dark inside into the light so you can inspect it"
It helped me a lot with just being comfortable with myself, I was (still am) my own harshest critic.

There's a girl at uni kinda like you, personally, the whole gamer girl thing was attractive

Titanfall 2 is stressful like nothing else

shyness is something easy to snowball. A lot of who we are is based on interpretation.

So say if you were old you were "good" when you were quiet or "bad" when noisy as a young kid as a quiet kid it would be easier to ignore you, easier to be shy

DROPPED

>tfw 999 hours in csgo and if I have 1000 I'll be a dyel nerd

2 weeks clean but fuck I miss it

Why?

League is the most skill intensive and popular game on the market. Have you seen the crowds for LCS and how many koreans (who only obsess over games that require skill) play it? I

>popular
you a big justin bieber fan too?

>skill intensive
ROFL

League is like Zyzz, Dota is like Arnold.

>implying they are not the same thing

> Overwatch > LoL

It was only popular because the extreme lack of other fresh games to play. There are other MoBA's who are more fun these days.

CS 1.6/Source and Overwatch.
Maybe boot up a psxe Emulator for some Legends of Legaia or Legends of Dragoon.

You're right League is like Dota except if the map were smaller, the physics were less realistic, last hitting was autistically uncompetitive, and every hero was queen of pain with a different colored g-string.

>you a big justin bieber fan too?
No and Justin Bieber isn't the most popular artist in the world right now. League is like "Taylor Swift" there is a reason that every single she releases is a hit. There is also a reason League is the most played video game.

>League is like zyzz, Dota is like Arnold
Actually it would be the other way around. League is a household name, (like Arnold is) while Dota is only for autists on Veeky Forums (like zyzz).

Original poster here. I fully understand why someone would dislike me for playing league. In a way it is skill intensive. I'm currently what can only be described as the worst cesspool on earth, diamond5 on euw. People at my level, including me are completely trash at the game, so I can only imagine how bad the other 90% is.

All in all, thank you for all your posts. I think I'm a little out of touch with reality, and I think modelling the behavior of the world outside of me according to fit and r9k isn't always the best of things. I'll focus more on improving what I have rather than changing something I can't. Talking to strange new people will be a little easier if I try to imagine that at least some of them are nice people, like you user.

>There is also a reason League is the most played video game.
Because you don't need to be good or learn anything to play it? It literally defines casual gaming.

Dota is the original. Bigger. Better. More defined, more developed. Arnold.

League is the gook knockoff. Zyzz.

Not hard to understand.

Also
>Liking Taylor Swift
Pathetic. Maybe when your balls drop you can play with some real competition.

All memes aside, try to find a good balance of both. I don't know how it can fatigue you, and I've had matches in Rainbow Six Siege like this user. But whatever, just play a few matches of your game, exercise, and play some more after. Also, try to make gaming a useful hobby- like streaming, uploading to YouTube or something.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a game now and again. My rig has SLI 980ti's and a 6700k, but that doesn't stop me from being active and enjoying my body.

In 2 years, I could dedicate myself to being top 500 in Overwatch (dat Zarya carry), or getting realm first kills in WoW. I could also train hard and have a body that was chiseled from marble in honor of Zyzz. Or any mix of the two. You can still get your vidya on when you have time, but still make your workouts and social obligations. Learn time management, and don't let Veeky Forums tell you what you're allowed to enjoy.

Tilling fields is hard work. So is planting seeds and maintaining your crops. But when it comes time for the harvest, would you rather have a yield of hardwork and dedication to your body, or a different emblem on your gamertag? Choose wisely, senpai.

I think you misunderstood. These are wise words and I fully subscribe to them: I place my gains above my vidya. Lifting/Vidya/painting is pretty much all I do, and I've had a body that reflects that for the past 8 years. In the end I would rather die happy with a fit body than with great rankings. The only thing I don't have is a social life due to anxiety/shyness/introversion.

I stopped at age 26 and now read for 3 hours a day instead. Am I gonna make it?

I used to be addicted to gaming and lived a neet life at home with my parents before getting fit. 2 years after I started my journey I'm living with my gf in my own apartment, work 25+ hours a week as a manager at a semishit job and another 20 working in a gym as a trainer. I'm 21 and haven't played a video game in over a year, but every now and again I'll look up news or something strategy guides on dark souls 2 like I might actually spend the time to beat it. For old times sake

I don't play videogames but I watch LCS every weekend. Is this bad? It is wasting as much time as guys who watch sports every weekend so I don't see the harm.

Iktf user, post arm workout cramps in your forearm so you can't mash your buttons hard enough and dps those +15

I can't play video games anymore. My past as a gamer made them too addictive to me, even single player ones: it's either living life or playing games. I can't into balance. Even if I do play them, I can't feel the immersion I used to have because I keep thinking: gotta do the laundry later; gotta lift, got exams coming up, got to prepare lunch.. It's just an escape that isn't even that rewarding in the end, because real life always takes over. This whole thing Is shitty, coz I used to love getting lost in them, but at the same time it's good because it means that I'm growing up finally and accepting my responsibilities.

If you're a qt I'd hurry up and wifey you immediately

I always liked being a healer. I could just alt+tab out to msn and chat with my friends while doing elite dungeons. Good times.

Turn rate and CC duration make dota like playing league in the mud. Theres a reason that fat americans actually have a chance in that game.

Just play some comfy stuff.

I enjoy a good rpg a night after gym.

Is that Black & White? Fuck, I miss that shit.

It is. Short, but very good. Shame about B&W2.

i watch hearthstone videos to fall asleep
not sure if i'm alone who does that but it's very comfy

You are a millennial.
