i don't want to play this game of life

[Darkover]

I'm not exactly a "n00b", as I have been playing this game for the last 30+ years, so I think I have a pretty good feel for the overall story, game play, etc by now. I've got a pretty decent character, graduated the tutorial, completed enough of the campaign (solo and co-op), learned many of the basic skills and even some more advanced techniques, collected a few achievements/trophies along the way, and yet, everyday is a burdensome chore. The only reason I am still playing is because pretty much everyone else is enjoying some part of the game (or at least appearing to?), they are relying on me (guilting me?) to keep playing for some reason, and/or they feel stuck/trapped since this is all they know and maybe there isn't anything else to play anyway.

I've never enjoyed playing but people kept telling me it would get better later so I continued. I've tried various jobs/classes, locations, equipment and medications, and... yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it. This is the core game play and I find no joy in the playing/doing.

So, at what point am I allowed to just set it all down and just walk away? When I inquire about deleting my account, I am met with anger, confusion, and threats of punishment like being hurt, banned, fined, etc, (which is like, yeah okay whatever, take my red party hat too because I'm deleting my account) I am somehow still surprised by it all. By hey, why would I expect the game to start making any sense now?

This game so sucks I'm gonna shut down the whole pc to over it

 

[who doesn't matter]

Well, the game I lay was designed specifically for me to lose. I never had any sort of help and had to figure everything on my own. This open world has been nothing short of brutal and now, I understand it all.......you can't win it but you can certainly break it by removing your character permanently.

The game is so unforgiving you can't re-spec the stats you were given randomly in any significant manner. Doesn't do so good with the constant debuffs.

What the hell is this thread lol

What the hell is this thread lol

Well, we are using video games as a euphemism for the shitty, bloody lives we have....and how we intend to end it....I know you already knew that...but still.

I'm gonna use the analogy with other people I know. Maybe it will actually get through to them.

Well I was trying to cheat in my game in the first place.. not for getting an advantage, but for getting to the base level of other players.
But I fucked it up regardless so I'm almost clickin the quit game button now

We don't play the game. The game plays us.

 

[thewalkingdread]

We don't play the game. The game plays us.

The name of the game is "Primate Simulation".

The game is rigged, designed to slowly torture and rip us apart, piece by piece.

And since we all have at least 2h playtime, we can't even return it and get our money back

you can only win by not playing
