>>31916That list makes me think he must have spent his last few years playing games out of habit and growing more and more distressed that they didn't seem to give him the same pleasure anymore. He obviously kept up with what was trending with gamers at the time but I don't see anything in there that indicates he felt passionate enough about gaming as a hobby to seek out more particular niche titles. He bought games because everybody else seemed to love them to death and he probably had more than a couple moments where he sat bitterly in front of the screen asking himself what the big deal is.

I remember this,there was an audio on youtube or twitter of the mom crying and screaming his name after he killed himself.
And fucking normies trolling and posting mean comments on his twitter account after he killed himself,poor fellow,I wonder if he was a virgin.

>>31925> None of his game or anime/manga include anything beyond surface level though.>>31918>I don't see anything in there that indicates he felt passionate enough about gaming as a hobbyWow. So this is how it is?
No.31929
>>31925You're all wrong,for starters he doesn't have a switch,he killed himself in 2016 and switch was launched in 2017.
Even with my limited Japanese (and google translate of course) I can highlight a few important points of this fine nip life,Maeda Hitoshi.
>poorfag (for japanese standards)>Had internet since october 2010 (Holy shit even in my 3rd world shithole I had domestic internet WAY sooner)>lived in a small 1 floor house with another 5 people>Hitoshi gets caught shoplifting UNO and some other things (that was a fun anecdote)>He was embarassed as fuck by his living conditions,actively tried making friends in HS because he was scared of someone going to his house>pretty much everyone there is a trainwreck,except for the sister Hitomi>Dad was a truck driver and taxi driver barely making any money>Mom was a Janitor or something related >Had a good relationship with his Brother Ken until he went apeshit and killed himself>Dad is fed up with this shit and divorces mom and leaves the house>Hitoshi suffers a mental breakdown at 16 and starts developing Hikki tendencies dropping out and going full Hikki at 17>He basically documents all his life in this sort of blog because he was scared of not leaving any "proof" that he existed after he killed himself.>Because we read his blog we now have a part of "Hitoshi" in our minds,so he still lives in some kind of way and he's grateful for that.As I said my japanese sucks balls,if someone with better understanding can add/correct some things I said here I would appreciate it.

>>31929It's been half a year or so since I've read his blog fully but yeah that's the basic gist of it.
>>31918He mentions that he only cleared a few and the others were just kind of filler games he bought for the sake of it.
>でもほとんど詰みゲーばっかで、クリアーしたのはメタルギア5のGZとTPPとドラクエビルダーズだけでした。はい。Only cleared the two MGSV5 games and Dragon Quest Builders.
Shortly after he mentions how he got disillusioned because of shitflinging online where people were bashing the modern game industry and making fun of modern fans because "they have to buy 10 games just to support the dying industry". So he stopped being interested in gaming.
Then he mentions that he wanted to try VR and FF15 before dying but all that shitflinging on the internet kind of made him not care anymore.

>>31926I'm not really judging his tastes if that's what you're trying to get at. It's just that he didnt seem to love any of the games he played hard enough to seek out more games in a similar style, for instance. Everything he bought screams "flavor of the moment" in a way that makes me think he was playing games to fill a void more than anything. Once again, i'm not trying to call him out for being a casual or anything, i'm speaking as someone who's been in that situation before

I remember that guy
when you google translate it you can read his diary and the thoughts he had while wriging this story down
it is as if he wanted to leave something behind after he dies

>>31918>passionate enough about gaming as a hobby to seek out more particular niche titleswho the fuck cares about video games niche titles when all consist of the same mind numbing low iq tasks that can only trick the reward system of retards with an unwavering will to lose their time in the most moronic unsatisfying possible way.
Going on walks is a better past time than videogames.

No.34082
>>34079Read the whole thing a while back, it's pretty claustrophobic, from an observers view he often seemed to make a huge deal out of rather petty things, the mother gets bashed a whole deal yet seems to be doing quite a lot for him. No news that people living cramped like that tend to drive eachother insane but he comes off as extremely selfish at times.
No.34083
>>34079>it is as if he wanted to leave something behind after he diesHe literally said this was the reason behind this massive blogpost.
"If you read this it means that a part of me is now inside you,that's proof that I existed,I was terrified of committing suicide because there was no proof of my existence,now because you read this I can now commit suicide"
"Thank You!"
I remember that there was also an audio recording of his mom crying after finding out the body,he also had a twitter account and after his dead a lot of jap normalfags were making fun of him.

I keep two backups of his entire website just in case the archives of it go under. I was going to translate the entire thing and host it on neocities but it turned out I'm really fucking lazy. There's a massive amount of pictures I would have to organize. oh well
