Did anyone else here lose interest in video games after they started lifting?

I still play lots of Mechwarrior and Supreme Commander but not much else

Lifting for 3 1/2 years now and I still play heaps of vidya

Nah more like I started lifting BECAUSE I lost interest in games.

>can pull lmao 5pl8ts
>just added 20 mods to Skyrim

Moderation faggots. Work hard play hard etc.

only games I still play are emulators of SNES/MAME, CK2, and Football Manager

It's not a question of quitting because I sunk too much time into it

It's just that I don't even wanna play

anyone else loosing interest in life ?

I guess. I still really enjoy it. I mean calling lifting achievements "real" (not saying you're saying this) achievements is false to me. You can reap all the health benefits coming in 4-5 times a week and running or walking a bit. Tf kind of benefit does a 500lbs deadlift have over a 225 one irl?

Sorry kinda ranted there but ya

Occasional couch co-op with buddies is where it's at.

When I was lifting I was too tired for Vidya.
No that I'm not lifting I'm skipping meals and drinking.
It is what it is

Same lost interest around junior year of hs. I dont know just didnt feel like playing plus the battlefield bad company 2 community for ps3 was dying and that was the only game worth playing.

Now I just watch youtube videos, lift an do hw. I occasionally play minecraft survival games on mineplex

Yes. However I've become the guy I used to hate/not understand. After lifting I come home and have been watching people play games on youtube or twitch.

either this or overwatch w/friends, it's more a social event than anything. i wouldn't play if i hadn't met people through competitive.

i hardly play single player beyond an afternoon for nostalgia's sake (half life 2 recently) or the occasional RTS for sheer meditative purposes tbqh

Yeah for a bit, but it was mostly just because nothing was coming out/the games i had been playing were becoming stale. Once I got a few most games I started liking them more. Been having a lot of fun in PUBG with my bros

mine was Bloodborne.

I never understood where playing games became wrong as you got older or began wotkimg out.
Brotha. I get drunk and play vidya. I love lifting to. Its one of my hobbies. I enjoy it.

No. What does one thing have to do with the other?

I was going to post this, but you already did.

Used to be an autist, picked up skyrim in 2012 when I started lifting... play it every few weeks for an hour or two, comfy af, got autistic mods and I got into the modding community for some autistic time-filling reasons, been great so far

japan and eastern europe still make good games

lifting is a video game where the rewards are much more tangible
Although just like in video games it is impossible to win the game so to speak. i.e. get a gf

i can only play video games if im high. Which is once in a while

There's still some good games coming out from NA. Nu-Doom and Titanfall 2 come to mind as recentish ones

idk i like me some splatoon but liftan is more importante so i lift get home shower eat play vidya study etc etc nofap fooken jooceh boyos lets get it !!!!

I only ever got to play at my friends houses
Looking back I'm glad I was active instead

Yes. But then I got depressed and stopped lifting. Sadness made video games unlikeable. That made me even sadder. Then I went to the gym and felt nothing and now I never spend more than 20 minutes there.

Literally me
Bloodborne 2 when

Kind of, yeah. I'll go back to rocket league from time to time but rarely are there any games coming out these days that I'm actually compelled to play. Fuck it, more time for the gym and shitposting

Not really, various fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Tekken keep me inspired.
Who /hwoarang/ here?

No i just grew out of them. Played Warcraft in college and a bit after (quit years ago) but always lifted. I think i had about 250 days of play time when i quit and it's kind of depressing thinking nearly a year of my conscious life gone to a game. Was funny when our guild posted selfies and i was 220 and shredded. No one believed it was me. 195 and thick otter now. Last game i played was breath of the wild but life is the game now.

/Lili/ myself. Do you do bodyweght exercises between matches?

In retrospect, only thing it gave me was good fap material.

No, but my tastes have shifted to mostly JRPGs, Miku and VNs instead of all the other genres I used to play.

Mechwarrior Online? If so, How? the devs finally tackle the POS skill tree and manage to make it fucking worse.

The only thing I really do is play payday 2 for those trophies in the safe house

I used to play that game a lot but lately it's a chore to play. Don't understand why it's still so popular when they haven't changed anything since releasing it.

I only ever played Korean MMOs most of which are shit now so I'm free from the curse.

No now I'm a biff guy who plays bicycle simulator 2.0 pokemon edition looking for shinies.

Even got a blow job while I was playing and the girl knew what I was doing.

Good looks are everything bro.

I regret literally no time I spent on WoW
I had so much fun back in the day

buff*

I lost intrest after I got so good at grind as fuck Korean MMO, and Asian games in general that were either skill or grind based.

Everything else is beatable in a few hours and a huge waste of time and money.

Gave up playing vidya at 16, recently started up again in my thirties. Im now a one man holocaust machine in Paladins.

now that youve brought this up i guess its true i sort of replaced video games with lifting and havent played one since i started, although i spend equal amounts of time on my computer looking at fit so i guess it balances out

Asian MMOs are extremely addicting literally wasted 6 years of my life.

90% of games are shit now.
recently got a wheel and got into the dirt games and racing sims. Thats pretty fun

Quality post. Tired of DLC and microtransaction and anti-consumer attitude.

>lift instead of vidya cause time
>start cutting
>play vidya after gym to make meal transitions easier

but i gained interest in your mom

I just left ARK when I got on Veeky Forums few months ago, and fucking hell it was like a mental prison that I couldn't get off of. Grinding was just too addicting. Finally dropping a few lbs.

on nightmare mode

Same here. They haven't made anything better than Dark Souls or Darkest Dungeon to me.

Now youve got it!

why does it feel like they keep getting shittier? I honestly don't think it's just me becoming older/mature

they objectively seem to be getting less fun, and more of just a cash-grab

Because nowadays it's easier to sell chunks of the game as additional payments rather than sell a complete experience. It's about taking as much money from the customers as you can.

That game is worse than WoW in terms of the time investment required once you decide to play imo. At one point the tribe I was in on one of the official "cluster" servers had like 10 guys doing 16 hour days and playing in shifts and shit. Eventually we got the tek tier stuff from beating all the bosses so I quit because we had essentially beaten the game.

I've lost like 40 pounds since then, mostly because i felt terrible about myself for sinking so much time and effort into a game.

same, except for a few matches of Overwatch once in a while

i think as you get older and less manchild you realize how much of a useless waste of time video games are. Hell, at least sports as hobbies are good for your health or meeting people.

Thousands of hours of video games as a teenager and I had nothing to show for it.

Bloodborne was 10/10, but I hope we'll get a new franchise instead.

this
FUCKING jews

Vidya has always been escapism for me. I stopped when i failed college.

Not really no, what else would I do with my free time? Watch Netflix like some normie shit? Reading is the superior form of entertainment but I already do that a lot when I go to work and my breaks. When I'm home I like to sit back and play video games. You could say I could use this time to improve myself more and study or some shit but working 50 hours per week already makes me feel cucked by society enough, I'm not gonna use my free time to become even more cucked. I rather play my video games and immerse myself in a world I have some sort of control.

Tfw you dont know if you outgrew games or you just lost the ability to enjoy things.

iktfb
lifting was the only thing i saw good results from

One word: normies.

Whenever normies get a hold of something they always turn it into utter shit. Video games companies are just like any other firm -- they want to maximize profits. You get more money by appealing to the lowest common denominator to maximize sales i.e. normies.

Nah, they are good for relaxing at night with. Sadly so many new titles are shit, so best just to stick with older games.

I've all but given up on them. I played some Hitman yesterday, but besides that I'll really only ever play a game or two with friends now. Life's far too short for me to waste it improving a virtual character's life instead of my own.

Haven't played anything for the three weeks I'm hitting gym now because either watch fitness youtubers all the time or sleep. The only thing I want to play is the Bitcher 3 anyway.

currently replayin this

>go to the gym
>heem weights
>get home
>heem kids on Overwatch

>pic related
>it's me

I was going off them already, still play one or two occasionally but I've decided to try and make my life awesome instead of turning to escapism

There's nothing wrong with playing vydia as you get older, moderation is key.
Most adults get home and watch tv or do some other mundane activity, women around my age (early/mid 20s) usually browse shitty websites, take snapchats and insta pics which seems to be just as much a waste of time as vydia.

>heem
Is this some kind of new nigger talk?

Wasted so much time playing video games and realized I was wasting my youth in front of a box in the corner of my room. No stories to share, no experiences gained. I could have been using that time to better myself and make new memories in various ways.

I still play video games, but not nearly as much. Only when I really enjoy a game will I sit down for a bit to play it (certainly helps that most games are shit now). Though games like the new zelda and destiny still give me enjoyment

>being this new
>you need to go back

>me
>new
Nah, I think you just want to talk like niggers

I lost interest in games except FIFA, NHL and Madden. Literally, every other game is just fucking boring and a timesink but sports games are GOAT (plus they're the only socially acceptable vidya to play, even Cock of Doody is not socially acceptable any more)

hnng I need to replay the trilogy again

Yeah. Because the games became shit. If the new Call of Duty is good, I will probably get it on console and start playing video games overall more casually than now, and start focusing more, for example, on school.

Been making good gains too. Plus fucked this really qt girl recently. Feels good man.

>caring about what's sociably acceptable

If you make it seem weird then people won't think you're weird.
Many of my friends at uni knew that I played WoW and even wanted me to show them what it was like sometimes. Just don't react like a fucking sperg when someone asks or finds out what you play.

No, vidya has been my favorite hobby since early childhood. I hated sports but when i started lifting i loved it too. And lifting and vidya are perfectly balanced in my life.
Vidya also became my profession since i'm a game dev and me and few friends started a game company.

honestly if you're over 23 and play video games for more than 10 hours a month you gotta rethink some stuff

What is NEETs lifting?

Masturbation to japanese anime porn

>heem

I have no idea what you're talking about /v/irgin and I've wasted multiple years of my life on this website

>Other Bloodbornefags on Veeky Forums

I maintain this game actually raises your test. It's like a straight dump of adrenaline into your system, I always want to go lift after I play it even when I rage quit.

God I love that stupid game. The aesthetics, the combat, the music... The Japs have produced very few immortal works of art in their crappy civilization, but Bloodborne might be one of them.

souls games are 50 dollar cucksheds where monsters fuck you while youre forced to watch, occasionally managing to get some brief satisfaction from your flaccid toon.

Quite the opposite, after I started lifting I threw away three months of my life to private server wow.

After I started lifting I lost interest in everything.

I don't know what my problem is
