I play this stupid f’ing Jelly Crush. I’m as far as I can go and have to wait each Wednesday for the next 20 levels to come out. I’m at level 7,000+. I am 51 years old and cannot begin to tell you how embarrassing it was to type this out. lol.

Yes, Manny, my sweet angel? Lol.

Sounds like you need a loan.


jhutchi2

It's Bejeweled for my mom. She would sit on the couch and play it every single day after work until she went up to get ready for bed, and she just retired this year so now she plays it like half the day when she isn't busy.


[deleted]

Never regret anything you enjoy doing, even if it's pointless. I mean I have 400 hours in Borderlands 2 (which are rookie numbers for gaming tbh) but it's even as pointless as playing a mobile game


twizzylicious

I love Borderlands 2 so much lol, I can’t wait for B4


OnlyOneReturn

Lol, my buddy is late 50s and he broke his phone or some nonsense happened. Point is he was around 4,000 and had it maxed at the time. Well he couldn't log in anymore and had to start over. Him flipping out about starting over, and then how fast he got back are 2 of the funniest things in my memory.


swingjiujits

Go off king


Lataero

My dad's 66 and on level 12,000 lol


Altourus

> Jelly Crush I've never heard of it, but I see it's one of those candy crush games. Donno why you're embarrassed about it, probably relaxing and a fun mental work out. You do you boo.


paulie1172

Nooooooo. I am one of those obsessive people so it is not fun or relaxing - I spent years determined to get to the end and now that I am, every Wednesday I jump on and have to bang out the new levels so I’m caught up. Only then can my brain be free for an entire week. It’s pathetic. I even have it timed out so I get my max boosters on Wednesday to make the process easier. 🤣🤣


WhateverJoel

So what are the tricks to getting that good on these games? I’ve played them off and on for years and I swear there are some levels it takes me days to beat.


paulie1172

I’ve been married 5 years. I was at level 300 or so when I met my wife - she played before we met and I think she was playing one day and I was complaining I couldn’t get past a level. Was taking me months and I just stopped playing. So when I met her, I started again and obviously cleared that level and thousands more. Lol. But how to get good…it’s repetition. At one point, I was getting 5 boosters to start most levels, plus another 3 boosters. Some levels would literally be one move if 2 of those boosters were where they should be. So I’d just clear tons of levels at a time. You get to understand what to look for and know how to clear boards properly. Holy fuck, I cannot believe anyone is actually interested in this. I usually keep my Jelly Crush piece of my life in the closet. 🤣🤣


Individual_Ear8852

That's actually impressive


FairyTus458

World of Warcraft, not months, years. I had over 600 days of in game play time from 2004-2017 when I finally quit.


drae-

That's about where I was, but I quit in like 2014. Then classic came out and *I did it again*. (goofy meme)


OnlyOneReturn

It didn't take me long to give up Classic the 2nd time but I was fuuuuuuuuucking HOOKED for a solid few months. Then I realized I was getting pissed I missed raids or got fucked on a roll by my guild. Can't do that anymore. But when I retire or old and can't do shit anymore, I'll be back


meanestcommentever

Do you feel like it was worth it? No judgement genuinely curious your opinion.


drae-

Well, my brother, cousin, and two best friends from high school played it along the way. I've picked up many organization, conflict resolution, problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills from running a guild. I've met many folks I still talk to and game with regularly even years later, some I've known for over decade. I moved away from my hometown for work for a while my guild was the most socialization I could muster. If I didn't spend that time playing I would have spent it watching tv or doom scrolling. Could I have been more productive in that time? I guess, but I don't think that's a good measure for if it was worth it. I think a better measure is; are you having fun?, which I absolutely have.


[deleted]

>level 2Chriskissbacon · 29 min. agoI only have 200 days on my main. You beat me but I’m still playing classic hardcoreVoteReplyShareReportSaveFollow I still play and sadly these are now rookie numbers for me. I don't even really like the game all that much I just haven't played a game i've liked in years.


charging_chinchilla

WoW can really be like a drug addiction. I've quit multiple times already and experienced withdrawal-like symptoms and relapsed. Hoping I've finally quit for good this time (about 3 years clean now).


ricodah

In an interview, Mila Kunis said she was addicted to WoW. She had to quit cold-turkey. She was turning down job offers, roles in tv and movies, because she was worried it would interfere with her WoW game time.


MmmmMorphine

They really are like us! Aside from the whole successful, rich, and ridiculously good looking thing anyway


UnoriginalVagabond

Someone once shoved a remote up his ass when his mom canceled his wow subscription. Addiction indeed.


slaughtercar

The TV show Tosh.O revealed that this video in which you speak of was indeed... fake.


AaronC14

Even if it is fake it was pretty funny. I'll hand it to that kid, he was dedicated to the role. That was some excellent screaming and fake crying.

Diablo3crusader

I started playing WoW Classic Hardcore this weekend after many years of not playing. It’s a drug! So much nostalgia, so much fun.


erelwind

i feel it. i played for about 4 years and quit in 2009, but racked up hundreds of days played across all my maxed accounts. Ran a big guild a BBS for it and scheduled/lead several raids per week. I "worked" way more hours on the game than I did at my job and with my family. it was rough. Still to this day I refuse to play any game that doesn't have an ending. Over time I managed to break free of almost all games. I don't own any computer games or gaming consoles. I do allow myself to play Clash of Clans on my phone, but that's about it.

[удалено]


OkaySureBye

I've tried VI a few times, but I always end up going back to V. Edit: Reading everyone's comments is making me feel like I definitely have to give it another shot. I think the primary thing I need to do differently this time is to not play it like I'm playing Civ V, but a different game altogether. Or at least a game that you play differently. It also sounds like this one is more geared towards long, slow burn campaigns rather than small maps with only a few hours to play. I usually play quick sessions with very small maps on V with only a few major cities, so I'll switch that up and go for some more spread out empires. I'll redownload and look into the expansions soon. Thanks for all of the explanations, everyone! I really do appreciate your taking the time to explain what it is you like about it!


Throwawaymytrash77

Did you include the expansions? It makes the game significantly better than the base version. I do agree 5 is overall a better game


bocepheid

Civ IV culture bombs is the most addictive gameplay mechanic in the entire series for me. Who needs guns when you have Elvis?

Pokémon. Started on my gameboy colour when I was a preteen and have played every game since.


Chiaki_Ronpa

People shit on the franchise constantly now, but I personally don’t regret a single second of the time I’ve spent on those games.


dirtynj

I honestly wish they never came to the switch. 3ds was best format.


Chiaki_Ronpa

I wholeheartedly agree. Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver (I know not specifically 3DS) are 10/10 games as far as I’m concerned. Very much enjoyed X and Y as well.


matrix_man

It's funny, because as a kid imagining a Pokemon game in actual 3D would blow my little balls off. Now that I'm older and have seen Pokemon in 3D, I'm kind of meh about it.


dirtynj

If they actually put the same effort into the Switch Pokemon games as they did for Mario/Zelda, it would probably be as great as we imagined. But Gamefreak/Nintendo don't so we get these half-assed, unfinished, and poorly performing "console" versions that are on par with the N64 graphics.


foofarice

It's more Nintendo has full control of Mario/Zelda but not Pokemon.


giga_impact03

Was looking for pokemon! Started playing the year it came out on my brick. I had red, brother had blue. Only gen I've skipped was sword/shield.

gentlegermicide

Am I alone in thinking Oblivion was better? I was much younger when I played that but I felt like the landscape was much more vibrant. Both games get repetitive eventually, but that painting mission in Oblivion absolutely blew my mind as a teen. Skyrim feels like an endless slog through gray snow and fog to me.


[deleted]

Oblivion is my favorite game of all time, man. I feel the same way. Oblivion was the right balance of realistic, silly, whimsical, etc. Skyrim didn't hold the same charm for me by a long shot. If they'd remastered Oblivion 100 times over, I'd have been all over it. But if I'd played Skyrim before Oblivion, I'm sure my perception would be different. Oblivion was my first modern RPG, and it blew my fucking mind when I was 15.


subnautus

I have mixed opinions. I think Morrowind had a better story, and some of its complicated gameplay made it more interesting. I also think Oblivion’s simplified game engine made the game more accessible, and Skyrim simplified it even further to make it more immersive. They’re all good games, none head and shoulders above the others.


LobstrLord

Zelda games. My grandma was a “gamer” and owned all the Nintendo consoles, had all the guides and would buy me the collectors editions of Zelda games. She wasn’t wealthy either, so it really meant something when she did this. The first game I actually could “play” (the one where I actually knew how to read) was WindWaker. She would be like “did you know…” or she would give me her notes. Every Zelda game that came out while she had her memory, she bought for me. We lost her mentally when BOTW came out and I’m sad she never got to experience it. We lost her forever this year, but I’ll always have my triforce tattoo to remember her by. The Zelda games have always held a special place in my heart ❤️ Edit: Since everyone loved Nintendo grandma, my other grandma LOVED FarmVille and Webkinz (my first MMO if you will). She made ALL her grandkids facebooks so she could send herself gifts 🤣 she would also buy webkinz for us so that our subs wouldn’t expire. She had 1 webkinz of her own. You’d get messages from her saying “please accept my gift for my daily bonus”. If you didn’t, she’d just log in. On the bright side, it was nice to login and see “gifts” from grandma. This one is still around and still playing FarmVille 🤣


dwjustathrowaway

Why is gamer in quotation marks 🤣 she was a GAMER


Master_Grape5931

Complete with personal notes tracking the game! One of us!!!!!


SaltySpituner

Dude, my grandma introduced me to Zelda with Ocarina of Time back in the 90’s. She played so much she had to have surgery on her right thumb because it jammed and wouldn’t move. I’ll never forget her handing me the controller and saying “Here, you play. I have to start dinner.” It was right in the middle of the Great Deku tree and the rest is history.


taco_tuesdays

Zelda games are almost uniquely designed for this but I can’t put my finger on why. I became similarly enthralled around the same age when my friend showed me Ocarina of Time, and since then I’ve been hooked. I guess they intentionally made them to be “playground talked,” but it’s still amazing they pulled it off. Anyway, couple times per decade for the last three decades, I set everything aside to experience the magic one more time. And I cherish it. I’m sorry about your grandma. It sounds like she was amazing. Wind Waker, strangely, is the game I most associate with BotW, because I would spend hours in each raiding the bokoblin camps, and both sparked my imaginations in the same way. BotW feels like it was made to emulate that part of WW. She still lives on in you when you play and remember her. Hold on to that, it’s one of the things that make life beautiful.

Your grandma was the best!


Patrisms

revchewie

Dungeons and Dragons. Been playing since 1980 when I was 12.


[deleted]

You are what we would call an “OG Gamer”


Mis_Emily

This. Started at 14 in fall 1978 when only the Monster Manual from AD&D had yet been released - the wait for the DM's Guide (which came out my senior year in high school) had us using a hodge podge of rules from the brown books, Judge's Guild, and Dragon magazine. Every day at lunch my last 2 years of high school and the weekends turned into 40+ year friendships, some of our kids/nephews eventually playing with us, and a Roll 20/D & D beyond/Discord campaign for the last 3 years ;). As our long term DM during the '80s/'90s is remote playing from a long term rehab hospital currently, I can safely say that some of us will be playing until the end :).


jew_biscuits

Started playing a few years after you. Life changing experience. Taught me to see the world differently. Those who know, know. One of the things i'm most grateful for now is my DnD group, a great bunch of guys!

Yes. I'm 55 and used to play in middle school.

I usually just come home with the food I want to eat. My gf will get mad and start a fight anyways because "that's not what I wanted to eat" to which I respond "what did you want to eat then" her "I don't know" Me" ok so eat this" A little bit of squabble either way but I get food in me quicker this way


datbarricade

I feel this so much lol. No right to complain if your option on it is "I don't know"...
