Serious Video games aren't a good cope for me

I tried to get into them recently, I bought GTA V and the longest I can play that is one hour as the boredom really gets to me. I also tried a couple of the Mafia games and also Watch Dogs Legion. I will always end up getting aggravated with them and slamming down the controller saying "I don't have the patience for this nonsense".

Having to watch these storylines in the games and follow instructions and look up the controller buttons is just too much like work for me. I actually felt like I was a wagie again playing these games, I couldn't numb my mind off and LDAR like a true NEET.

When I was young I used to enjoy kids video games like Rugrats search for reptar, Toy Story 2, Lion King Simba's pride, Bugs Life and Harry Potter Philosophers stone. I wonder if I should play these old kids games again, maybe I will enjoy the innocent stories unlike the degenerate storylines of these adult games. I still have my PS1 and PS2 but I think playing my PS2 will bring back uncomfortable memories of the mid 2000s, I had friends in those days and it will feel very strange going back to that PS2.

My only long term cope is TV, I can indulge for hours in a classic sitcom or a drama series. I can immerse myself in the TV shows in a way that I can't escape myself in these video games.

I've found the only ones that keep me interested long term have a social aspect where you talk with people on a mic. Having a coffee or energy drink makes it more fun as well.

I still like some video games. What I was referring to was not getting the same level of satisfaction out of most video games like back in the childhood or teenage years. It's not the end of the world if I cant get back into enjoying them. But still it's another cope that would be gone which sucks.

I know it’s a meme but the Switch made me get into games again due to how accessible they are.

I don't think the switch does it for me but never say never. Have you looked into oculus VR headsets like neetgod often talks about here? Seems like major lifefuel, I might get one later this year we'll see.

My cousin has one mostly for VR chat or whatever it’s called. It is a completely different experience and way more immersive than traditional gaming. I imagine games like Skyrim would glue me to it for weeks.

And the anime porn, of course :feelsthumb:
