Don't forget: shaken, not stirred.

In addition to what everyone said above, there are many videos on YouTube with this same topic. “Gaming isn’t fun anymore” “Gaming, Halo, and getting Older” Type any of those titles and the suggested videos will get deep and personal on where they are in their journey and where they started.

For me, it’s a matter of perspective and prioritization. I’m 28, still trying to get along in my career field and struggling a bit. Staying on the game all day doesn’t feel productive to me anymore, but when I am productive, I can reward myself with a nice gaming session complete with my vices and desires. That’s how I enjoy gaming. It feels better for me when it’s earned

It seems you haven't been playing for a long time son

I think original voice is generally better so if Japanese game/show then japanese.

Gaming burnout is real. Consider all the games you've played over the years - every new game you pick up has more competition for your enjoyment than the last. RPG's are my bread and butter genre, but I rarely play them anymore because I recognize builds too easily. I come up with something that nearly breaks any challenge the game has, and can't force myself to intentionally weaken my setup or experiment the way I used to.

Play a lot of nearly any genre, and you'll begin to predict what's coming, and no longer get hit by an incredible surprise or mechanic you wouldn't have expected. Fewer and fewer surprises and innovations- everything that you've seen before in X game becomes a quality comparison when it comes up in Y game. Competetive multiplayer games dominate the industry because the complexity of a human opponent is incredibly hard to match.

There's nothing wrong with you - you just need to broaden your horizons. Either try out some genres you never thought you'd like, or try out new ways to spend your free time that aren't gaming, and come back later. We want every new game we play to feel new the way they did when we first started gaming, but new games often reuse what's been done before, so depending on you and the title, it's possible very little of what you encounter in a "new" game is actually new to you.

the ease of life controls and graphic upgrade sell it for me, I understand why ppl like the og oot :)

Good. Never forget what they did to the Geth.

I play FFXIV mostly as DPS but I do heal from time to time so:

If the healer can't keep up then slow down a bit. Pulling one group less at a time or letting the healer recover some MP will be faster than wiping.

Also chill with the damage meters on normal difficulty dungeons, raids etc. If you gonna whine about others not doing enough and throw percentages around you can be sure that you gonna get reported for that shit.

For me, casters and sword and board types are always female. Theives and brute types male.

Sadly I had those too but my mom donated it to cousins damn! Even my action figures while I was doing my bachelor and was not back home for 3 years 😖

You’re growing up, that’s all.

Good advice realhornyfuta

The Witness

I'll start it up and just wander around, maybe go for a slow ride around the island. Just gotta have the pathways opened up to get around.

It would be different for everyone. When im in a slump i stop playing all games for about 18 months. I read books study other hobbies. Research new weird trivia. Focus on family. Then i deep dive games again.

Its normal. You are human.

Hearing this alot. Might just read a synopsis or watch a video on the first and just start on 2. It bugs me leaving a game unbeaten once I've started, even if I don't enjoy the game, lol. I'll have to slog through the first, eventually.

Happy cake day!

I'd say Corvo from Dishonored or Gabriel Belmont from Castlevania LoS.

As a girl, when I started playing I assumed all girls were girls IRL. Over the years I’ve realized more guys than not prefer to play as female toons actually. It makes no difference to me personally. In my wow guild I would say there maybe 3 girls out of 20 of us but probably 75% of the toons are female. At the end of the day, it doesn’t affect any one but you so eff them if they care.

But you could always just ask your sister if she cares. Chances are she doesn’t :)

Had to hear about it from somewhere.

I do that too. I like when my character is a little psychopath running around being evil for kicks. I hear most people play as a superman type - big, strong, and helpful; but for me that’s how I am irl, so it’s not an escape. Besides, you’re watching the character for hours and I prefer looking at women

Just wishing for a Vr conversion done like RE4 , one day hopefully

No

Time to take a break bud
