Do you play video-games?

Yeah. It's fun. I do what makes me happy. As long as it doesn't consume my life we're good.

I used too big time from childhood through college. I'm 27 now and stopped pretty much completely. I say pretty much because my housemate would beg me to play tekken 7 with him from time to time.

But I stopped because I was sick of the gaming industry. The whole loot crates, DLC and pay to win ruined games for me. Just cash grabs everywhere. I remember I was playing Mass Effect 3 nearly two years after it was released and their DLC extra missions costed $30 still. I was like Fuck that. $30 for two extra missions that last only an hour of gameplay? And this game been out for how long?

Plus when I turned 24 my social life kind of took off where I didn't have as much time to play games not to mention grad school. Also not having video games kind of forces me to do other things/activities.

So now at age 27 and done with grad school I still have yet to buy the xbox 1 or PS4. The time I used to spend on video games is spent on other things. So that's my reason.

i used to love runescape (lol)

then i happened upon a 'post a pic of yourself' thread on my clan's board.

and holy shit they were fat and ugly as fuck.

so i quit right there, gave all my shit away to a friend, started lifting weights and began using steroids a few years later

now i can't force myself to sit and play a video game even if i tried... i get this weird anxiety

I played a lot during childhood. Started to phase out of playing by the end of high school. Social life and later college became more important and I started to pick up other hobbies like playing music that were more rewarding.

I aspire to be a professional CoD player so Im always playing that but I step outside the box and do other things like gym, skateboarding, music, etc.

Yes, but they're no longer first priority. Hobbies and lifting are.

No, never saw the appeal of it.

I still do. Some games even improved my game such as dragon age 2 with humor answers in dialogs. Or i can say witcher 3. Girls are keen with these dialog puzzles but men need practise.
