I used to be into the sims.long time ago. Now I don’t really do video games it just doesn’t interest me in the slightest.

Maybe if I had sky TV, I’d watch some, but it’s a bit pricey

3ds isn’t really a person. Actually 3ds is a handheld videogame console, made after the DS and before the Switch, manufactured and marketed through Nintendo corporation.

I wish I could still play games. Got two new games, Metro Exodus and Final Fantasy 15. Didn’t played them yet. I’m vaping all the time and consuming passive media. And every day I read some pages in a book.

If I play games I get voices that tell me to stop or that it’s a waste of time, and then I some delusions come up so that I can’t focus on the game.

Playing games in my late teens and early twentys were a great time. I remember buying the PlayStation 3 couple weeks after release from my part-time job money. I bought it with two controllers and two games for I think 639€. Resistance 2 multiplayer was great fun, I played hell out of Killzone 3 multiplayer. Or Metal Gear Solid 4, one of my favourite game of all time.

I also was an avid pc gamer, even more than a console gamer, even if I started with consoles first.

And I just hear from one friend, who I did skateboarding with for years, that I should just start a game and play. My family see’s gaming as a waste of time. Good that at least you still enjoy games and that they are helpful.

I use to play video games a lot but I slowly lost interest in video games after I developed mental illness.

I’m playing Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition on Xbox and EverQuest on the laptop. I usually raid with my guild on EverQuest once or twice a week.

I have lots of other games I’m just not playing now. Playing Minecraft on Xbox sometimes, really looking forward to Rust’s console edition and the remastered Mass Effect trilogy in May. I never played the Mass Effect games before so this will be my first experience with them.

I logged 1400 hours in stronghold kingdoms, a pay to win game. I think that’s pretty pathetic lol.

That’s quite mad, we do what we do though.
