Do you still play video games?

I tried to play some videogames today, (I’m currently playing Zelda) but it feels like I can’t get any enjoyment from playing. Like something is lacking in my brain. I guess it’s the drugs messing with my reward system or that I’ve become older. I don’t know??

Do you still play videogames? Do you enjoy them? At what age??

I try to play for an hour everyday but yes it feels like a chore instead of fun but I still do it to stay less in bed.

Exercise games are awesome. I can’t afford buying a new stationary computer and a oculus. I just bought a MacBook and it was expensive. So I’m playing Nintendo switch.

Most of the non-Oculus games I play are retro video games. I love my RetroPi. It has over 11,000 old games.

An hour isn’t much. Do you have a hard time getting enjoyment from gaming? Or is it the neg’s?

Its the neg. I can’t play on my own at all, I only play when my friend calls me to play with me. On my own when I try I turn on my pc then instead of launching the game I just update my pc then turn it off go back in bed.

Hah.

Try punching like that for an hour straight. Forty minutes is the best I can do and then the next day has to be a rest day for my arms.

I never could finish the last level (boss) in Starcraft. I also suck at it. Never played it online!

İ have been played 2500 games online but i m really suck at it.because i can not follow to the prefixed strategies which is most fundamental thing for success at starcraft.its just too hard for my limited primitive brain

Yes. Depends on the game. I’m 29.

I played some Lost Ark, today. Both alone and with Hubby, after he got home from work.

■■■■ no man… i tried to get back into gaming but like what everyone one else said, its become more of a chore to game now before it was fun… it takes too much mental energy and focus. I can play basic games.

I got an Xbox last fall and I love it because it got me through the harsh winter… I only played one game though, hollow knight. It’s very long game but $#@& it’s good. These days I’m a little busier but I plan on playing Nier Automata when I have more free time. These are indie games.

I love to sit down and play when I have the time. I don’t have much time to game regularly anymore, but I still occasionally have binges on “time-intensive” games. Most of the time, though, I play in brief spurts on things that don’t require consistent playtime to get through.
