I play(ed) video games for 15-20 hrs a day for 3 yrs ( AMA)

[Robot666]

Just like the title says, I used to lurk around here when I was younger and was going to college but i decided to drop everything and just go full no life and moved on in my apprtement. I have been gaming all day everyday for the past 3 years with 0 human interaction aside from the grocery store people or other stores when I needed stuff. I looked at the calendar today and its soon going to be 3 years in like 1 month also I will be 24 soon and I have been getting reminded that im getting older and basically already wasted all my life being a no life lul. This is also the point where im starting to get bored, well I have always felt bored sometimes but Id just go to sleep and wake up in the middle of the night or the day and keep gaming, basically theres been days where i would sleep the whole day or the opposite where i wouldnt sleep for 2 days since it did not matter what I do since I have no life.

I play mainly FPS games and MMO games, MMos are all trash nowadays and dead, so dead that people get excited for classic WoW, a game released in 2005 so I just stick to FPS/ battle royales now but I have not been able to get pro enough to be confident to stream and I dont like interaction so all this time pretty much went to waste.

So yeah AMA i was pretty bored and decided to visit the misc, part of me is happy that I choose this path but part of me regrets it, I feel like i wont live past 30 doing this and life is already behind anyways so Im just fkin around at this point.

For all of you that are wondering if its a great life, i would say it would only be great if you make alot of money and have a hot gf. Like a top streamer that plays the same amount as I do but makes 50x more than I do and is in a relationship with a hot chick otherwise you get bored quick, only reason why im not bored and manage to keep going is because i been doing this since im like 11, i been playing video games for 8-10 hrs a day since a young age so im used to it.

And the reason why I choose this life is because I feel like if ure not rich its just not worth the time. I would only have fun in life if I had alot of money ( or extremly good looks/genetics) , without money I just feel like a loser anyways and having a normal life wouldnt be any better. And im too lazy/dumb to get any decent degree so yeah will prob live this life till i die . Getting older is depressing so im honestly thinking about overdosing on stuff when im around 40 ish so I dont rly have to worry about it and at 40 i will be bad at video games and wont enjoy them anymore since young people have better reaction time and sht, well by the time im 40 idk if games will change alot, idk whats gonna happen but if the technology dosent get any better i honestly hope i die around 40 years old lol no joke. I know some 40 yrs old have better lives than i will ever have so no offense to them but 40 is gonna feel like I am dead, since even now i feel like i didnt experience the party life that ppl had at 16-22 so already feels like life is behind me, at 40 ill just feel like im a dead man walking.

Anyways AMA idk why im posting this sht here tbh i guess im bored as fk.

Jokes on you, not reading all that chit OP

Cliffs?

Based on your title that lifestyle sounds fuarking miserable srs

[socalivin]

Why don’t u stream and make money

[dozaman]

do you have a job? how do u get money to afford the apartment? i don't get it

[Robot666]

Why don’t u stream and make money

i dont like interaction and im not good enough. neeed to be at least in the top 0.1% skill level to be noticed. like if we look at apex legends, id have to be as good as mendo, aceu, diego, shroud etc id say im top 2-3% player which is not enough , thousands of players are as good as i am and more entertaining to watch.

[Robot666]

do you have a job? how do u get money to afford the apartment? i don't get it

im on welfare atm i get just enough to pay for the apprtament and the internet and i eat chitty food most of the time

[bristol83]

Didn't read.

Unbelievably stupid if thread title is correct.

OP is a *******.

[JustThatBrah]

Sounds like you're depressed and need help, talk to a therapist.

[Tinge52]

Did your crotch smell something similar to BigFoots after a couple weeks?

im not depressed, new CoD actually came out today, gotta get on that grind soon im just taking a break right now

[JotaroJoestar]

Gotta be trolling.

Also, I don't think most streamers are in the top 1%, most have a fun play style or are entertaining, or attractive.

[Robot666]

during the summer i do smell bad since i dont really like taking showers, i only shower 2-3 times a week

being top 0.1% skill level is how you get noticed, obviously not all of them are but the ones that get big quick are top 0.1%. they go form nothing to thousands of views because they are insane at the game. like dizzy went from nobody to big streamer in a month

[I3igAl]

Change that lifestyle instantly. Get a job or enroll into uni again. Get a therapist.


Is that avi real? I would expspect someone, who sits on his PC all day to resemble a melted candy cone much more closely.

Semi-Read.

In high school I was sponsored by a few companies to play Halo, Gears and CoD. Loved playing against people and destroying them. Always played with my friends growing up and I was just always better than them. One day we were doing game battles for Halo and I carried my team to victory against a top ranked team. They then recruited me and that's how it begun. I still went out on the weekends and stuff, but my days in high school were like School, Sports, Homework, Gaming til I passed out. Then one day my senior year in high school I got a girlfriend and stopped playing completely. I was playing for a very well known team at the time and was one of the higher ups and I was like, yeah this is lame, getting laid is better. Never really played as much since then, and now I'm lucky if I get an hour in a week. Last time I played was last night and it was the Local Modern Warfare Intro mode for like 20 minutes, and before that it was the Gears 5 Launch Day.

Cliffs: Get your PP touched, and you'll stop playing games.

i would care more about money than a girlfriend tbh, being broke sucks. but id assume it would make things better short term. The thing is the average salary seems very low, i wouldnt be able to affrod anything with that, its like not much better than being on welfare so why i would even try to get a job

[Robot666]

Has dwelling behind video games all those years caused you to develop Aspergers or something equivalent? I would imagine your social skills have gone down the crapper if you had any to begin with.

Also, you've got a poor outlook and negative attitude towards life and yourself. I hope you're trolling because as a man, that's truly pathetic buddy. At 24 years old you've got all the time and energy to make a dramatic change and turn your life around. Ded srs.

i would say the mental state does deteriorate over time, like i talk to myself like id be taking to another person sometimes just so its not 100% silence all the time but when im gaming I talk like i would be streaming even if im not. it also kinda makes you afraid of humans if you go a long time without talking to ppl

[nothingshocking]

Why is your body pink?

OP it seems to me like you've kinda given up on life, in a sense. You need to come to terms with the facts below...

1) You can take control of your life. You can steer yourself into solid goals (improve aesthetics, educate yourself and succeed, get a career with an income far above wellfare, maybe get into a relationship if you want to). It is within your own power to shape your destiny which would plant yourself in a role that you are currently dreaming of being in.

2) You're behind. Don't let this discourage you, there's plenty of folks in college who are 1st years that are in their lower-mid 20's. Instead let it fuel you. Get angry at it. Say "phark the world I'm fighting back," and get yourself into a vicious motivation of onslaught to reach success.

3) Fun fact about #2. Young chicks like older dudes. Especially lean dudes (you're lean). College girls are very likely more accessible to you than you anticipate.

4) You might be addicted to video games. You describe being bored of it, having nothing else to do, so you do it anyways. The rate at which you play also supports the statement that you might be addicted. We all have our hobbies, and I personally think addicted can be a pretty alarming buzzword or an extreme word, but really it can be confused with pursuing a major hobby that you're passionate about with a heavy quantity of hours. I think 3 years though puts you in the addicted bucket. Plus you admitted you've identified a poor diet, lack of exercise, and general health issues related with it. Come to grips with the fact that you're unhealthy, this activity is unhealthy, and you should consider finding another way of allocating some of your time (gym, education/career, etc.).

5) Consider support from your friends (real life or online), and family.

LDAR lifestyle.

What country you live? Mirin the neetbucks.

Btw, being a dumbass twitch gamer is also good to get money, you don't need to be good but you need to be able to act like a fool.

well the thing is to me nothing makes sense. i dont understand why humans do certain activties, video games seems like the best place to spend time in. I dont know anybody and my family dosent live in the same city. school is too boring, and if i drop of welfare id have to work + go to school at the same time which is alot harder than living with my parents and going to school. too much effort not enough reward, its not like i can become a laywer anyways and other jobs dont pay very well.

canada. its rly not much money though, can barely affrod **** since im paying 120$ a month for the internet aswell

[Destor]

You’ve played 15-20hrs per day for 3 years and aren’t good enough to stream? Brah...

I did something similar from 19-21ish, spent 2.5 years doing nothing but power gaming Star Wars Galaxies all day every single day. But I was one of the top players on my server and could have made big $$$ streaming if that existed back then.

After isolating myself for that long, it legit took me years to get my social skills back. Chit is no joke

Yeah and being an astronaut or neurosurgeon might be a bit out of scope as well.

What about IT? What about Cybersecurity? Programming, Database management, Software engineering? You can research these fields, and land a job that pays well and even enables work from home. There's a lot of low IQ people in these fields tbh, very likely lower than you.

I'm in cybersecurity personally and have a schedule that incorporates working from home.... and make $35/hr, with ~$55/hr overtime. Just gotta get a relevant bachelor's degree, find a relevant entry level job (bonus points if you do this while you're still studying simultaneously), get a cert or two each year, and then you'll wind up with opportunities for something similar.

i mean if i tried to study and failed id go back to square 1 minus my welfare check lol. its pretty scary. doubt low IQ people have degrees.

i played alot of CoD / pubg/ apex legends/ guild wars 2/ fortnite. idk how many hours tbh a fk ton lol. getting on welfare is easy but you have to be actually broke as hell and get no help. I was so broke i was sleeping on the floor before i bought a bed. i mean its not like they can 100% verify but if they find out you lied they can ask you to refund everything and it gets complicated. and no social skills and most likely low IQ since school has always been hard for me.

Ever thought of partying and playing video games at the same time sometimes? A few beers and some nice gaming is fun.
