There is no point in playing video games anymore. When I was younger I wanted to become very good at video games for personal achievement, but that doesn´t make sense anymore.
I´ve tried to invest myself into videogames over and over again just to kill time, but everytime I try to play they get boring, everytime more quickly.
The problem is that it´s leaving a big hole in my daily routine and I don´t know or want to do anything different. So I´m pretty bored nowadays…
That is a good sign. It means you are ready to move on to other things.
Yeah i wish i could get invested in gaming as much as i used to. I think its becuase of the reward dopamine pathway stuff in my brain is a bit blocked from the meds or the sz negatives.
games are entertainment. if youre not enjoying it just stop, its not like people force themself to watching the kardashians tv show despite hating them lol same concept with games
Koksukers!
They are total garbage.
I haven´t thought it that way, good point!
Video games are a double-edged sword. When you play them all the time, especially to the point of addiction, they get old—and I don’t think they’re gonna have the same satisfaction as they used to. I have a hard time not focusing on things about my life that I’m dissatisfied with when I play video games now. But I don’t have much else I enjoy.
I cant play as much as i used to do. I remember i spent entire afternoons beating the Far Cry series. I can’t focus now, last time i bought video games i bought 4 of them and only finished one. I don’t even play online that much so i mostly focus on single player mode.
Maybe it is time for you to play classic games instead.
I can’t seem to get rid of chess and poker from my own schedule.
Or you could explore indie games on steam. Some developers, e.g. Jonathan Blow, put a lot of time and thought into their games.
Maybe it is your hormones that are slowing down and therefore you don’t want to compete with others anymore.
Thanks, I have chess and poker on rotation but they feel like the other games. I think I don´t enjoy that much single player games anymore.
Definetely I don´t have the drive to compete with others anymore.
I´ve nevery played those indie games, but usually I don´t like new games, just the ones I was playing as a teenager and their continuations…
Some people play poker at the casino, or chess over the board. It’s a social get together. Not me however: I only grind online. I don’t do it for competition anymore but it would be nice to get that aspect back.
chess over the board is deffinetely more fun. I´ve never been into a casino tho. It´s true, I miss that aspect of competitiveness.
I dont even know how to get interested in video games anymore. I used to have a ps4 but it just collected dust
Try a new hobby or volunteering.
I don´t have enough energy or social inclination to volunteer. And I should be doing my own chores instead.
I would love to have a new hobby but I don´t find anything interesting.
I understand. I struggle with that too
Maybe games with swords are great.
I’ve always been a shooter game until 3 years ago I felt I was quick enough.
But any other games do require quick reflexes
Can you watch movies at all, @dreamer54 ?
I tried getting back into gaming too but it just couldn’t hold my interest for very long.
I did get pretty into Skyrim though for a little while.
The latest run of consoles is the first I have not bought since the PS1 in 1996, when I was 9
Before that I had a Mastersystem II
Games have always been part of my life, but I have retired now for a fair few years
Just couldn’t keep up the focus required to play them anymore
I don’t play computer games anymore bc my eyes get sore and i lose interest very fast and i don’t watch tv or movies either,
I am trying to get into sound production though but i have issues with confidence and low self esteem, my moods play a big part and my energy levels, i get fatigue now and then so its hard to feel the good vibes.
i have to play this song lol i think its pretty iconic now
