š¹Early to RISA š§Anon has a busy day
rockerface šŗš¦This is why I limit myself to one gacha and one MMO at a time
ZozanoAnd one idle-game, and one town builder with real-time build counters
DashboTreeFrogAt my worst I was doing three Gacha games and it was killing me. I had to quit and itās genuinely hard to stay out seeing how fun some of these new Gacha games look. Canāt imagine doing this many and not hating your life
Yeah thatās way too many. I gave myself a rule to only play max 2 gachas at the same time, and itās working out fine.
Also dude forgot that these games also have events and story, not just dailies.
At least Genshin introduced a system where if you do Exploration, Events or Story, you donāt have to do dailies.
Dark patterns in gaming are the absolute worst and although I understand that theyāre structured to cater to the worst impulses in human thought patterns, I still donāt understand why people canāt quit.
Then again, folks donāt quit drugs easy either.
When already planning to quit again after a gacha relapse a few years back, I remember thinking āIāll wait till this event is doneā, but then the next event starts, then the next, then the next and they all overlap at least a little and I didnāt want to miss out.
These games made me feel like it was important " work", that I was building up to something and that mastery and improvement was as easy as showing up and doing dailies.
Yeah, dark patterns in gaming absolutely suck
burgersc12Like the other guy said, its mostly just fear of missing out. You would quit, but what if you miss the DOPAMINE.
I donāt tolerate grinding, some people just straight up do daily, made up chores without fail for years. Itās like self inflicted torture imo
Same, I have enough chores at my home
And it is not even like grinding in a game like, say, Minecraft, where you work on getting some resource and then get to look at something nice you built with them afterwards, it is often literally just some checkbox or counter.
To each their own, some can appreciate the checkbox
starman2112get pneumonia
go to hospital
canāt do dailies for 3 days
i will never catch back up
Meanwhile I just opened Stardew for the first time in 6 months and my pup just gave me some bone shards for petting him
Pope-King JoeWell that just sounds delightful.
Had to cover someone at work who was off sick and I missed 2 weeks of classic wow raids. Felt great and uninstalled it immediately. Never going back.
I attribute my revulsion toward live service games to this greentext. Great visualization of the endgame for the soul-sucking garbage thatās become popular in recent years. Itās a return to the 80s arcade, stealing your every cent at record speed, but infinitely more surreptitious.
There is a place near me thatās a three floor complex of arcade machines and itās a single entry fee to play them all.
Yes, itās horrible. My goal with a game is not to find something to fill hundreds of hours of my life, I have enough shit to do. Iām looking for an experience, like when I go to the movies.
Maybe related, but Iām also not a big fan of TV series for the same reason, even the good ones have some filler and waste time.
I remember once when my wife and I binge watched some exciting thriller series on Netflix, that was impossible to stop. We did 2 seasons with 10x1 hour episodes, and then realized it was Sunday evening, and our weekend was gone. It had more seasons, but we said nope, itās just not worth our time.
Youāre saying youāve only ever watched one tv show ever? Thatās wild
This was me up to about age 24. I just read books instead
Funnily enough I donāt watch movies very often for similar reasons. They feel so shallow compared to a good series due to the limited time the creators have to tell any stories.
morrowindI just refuse to watch any shows with episodes longer than 35 minutes. If I wanted a movie Iād watch a movie
CruxifuxIām lucky I hate gatcha games and old style MMOās. It seems exhausting.
He forgot to do his neopets dailies.
Ah least he brushes his teeth.
They did not after dinner though.
Once a day is better than not at all. Same as showering once per week is better than not at all. Gross, but better than nothing.
Walk_blesseDAnon is the most hygienic 4channer
As I get older I begin to hate everything that wastes my time. Modern multiplayer games and social media are like that. Iād rather learn new languages and ride my bicycle instead.
Yeah Iām in the same boat. Iām 29, havenāt gamed since I was 25 or so. Its allure just evaporated once I got into botany, coding, hiking, Pacific War history, etc. Who has time to play vidya??
Those are rookie numbers.
> masturbate
Oh, I think what anon meant to say is
"> do Lovense dailies"
I would have thought you were joking but having bought one recently, the amount if wacky shit in that app, dailies included, is wild.
Frickinā mobile games. Got sucked into giving KonoSuba: Fantastic Days nearly an hour of my time every day for a few months. I even gave them nearly a hundred dollars. And it felt like WORK, because I didnāt want to be inefficient and miss quest rewards.
Never again.
NelotsUsed to love the game Summoners War, but I had to quit for exactly this reason. Eventually I realized I was logging on for FOMO and that I had stopped having fun long ago.
Dailies suck
āļø-single player games are mostly still good.
Itās sad that one of those dailies canāt be done anymore.
Thanks, Crunchyroll. >:(
pewgar_seemsimandroiddoesnāt watch any YouTube videos seemingly
festntand never opens 4chan either
