Black tar heroin just doesn't hit the same these days.

The trick is to have other things to do.

I was getting like that, gamed for 5+ hours a day after work. 10+ hours a day on the weekends. Started to get burnt out. Found myself just staring at a screen.

Then I got married and had kids. Also picked up a non-gaming hobby. Now when I do have time to game, it’s good shit.

GetGud_Lmao@reddit

crazy how you have to moderate fun like drugs, we’re all little addicts

Heroin is weak shit compared to being 7 years old playing Crash Bandicoot.

This also effected the type of games I like. I used to love putting hours into big exploratory RPG's, especially when I was high all the time etc.

Now I'm coming at gaming in a snatch what time I can kind of way they seem daunting, but I just got a port of a few old PS1 platformers and its genuine simple fun I can enjoy for an hour

HanselSoHotRightNow@reddit

I guess ill get married and have kids then. Kinda puts a kink in my current plans of "nothing" though.

Next-Use6943@reddit

When I work daily then gaming is fun. When I have 4 or more free days, then it's not anymore

Staylower@reddit

took me a bit to figure out turns out that's depression

TimberAndStrings@reddit

The thought of gaming is just so much better than gaming itself.

Substantial_Bet_1007@reddit

not just gaming but gamingrelated stuff too im trying to optimize my piracy setup

[-]

TheMorbidHobo@reddit

I can tolerate it, but it's not very fun anymore.

If you're burning out on a hobby that's supposed to be only for entertainment, then that's a great sign you need to diversify your free time.

Do literally anything else for a bit and then circle back....it's not that complicated.

Bharny@reddit

Nah,

games, movies and books just get boring now for me.

[-]

UnNecessary_XP@reddit

Try a creative hobby? Drawing, 3d modeling, wood working (if you have space and money)

[-]

distortionisgod@reddit

That sounds like depression then.

Get on meds or improve other areas of your life to manage symptoms (exercise, socialization, etc).

[-]

distortionisgod@reddit

Or just don't change anything and complain that everything sucks and watch as everyone in your life moves on cause you're a miserable cunt that is a black hole for happiness.

I'm speaking from experience here lol. Best thing I ever did for myself was something else.

My friends keep trying to convince me to play games. They love to talk about how the skill tree is expanded, or how some new mechanics are better, or how the graphics are next level.

I dont even know how to reply anymore because I read it and my brain just says, who gives a fuck, this is meaningless. Who cares.

They'll be like ive got this new strategy which we'll dominate with and my brain is all, "you're gonna get a bigger number, but it wont make you happy"

I think i might actually be a boomer now...

Broccoli_Sam@reddit

I think your mindset is much healthier. Videogames are a great way to waste huge amounts of time without adding any value to your life.

[-]

AsbestosDude@reddit

I spent years playing games, i think ive got my fill

[-]

It feels weird to realize that you really just can't play a game for more than an hour a day anymore. I used to play The Witcher 3 for like half a day every day, and now I go in, do some side quests for 30 minutes, and exit without really doing much progress.

[-]

NoCard1571@reddit

Could just be that your taste in games changed. I was in the same boat as you, but then I tried some other games in different genres than I typically play, and it felt like rediscovering gaming again.

AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit

Wasn't he caught jerking off on stream that one time?

[-]

GDMolin@reddit

Honestly that’s probably the most moral thing he ever done…

[-]

ShibbyTheScrub@reddit

He had a 10 year anniversary stream a few weeks ago to celebrate it… he’s quite the rabbit hole.

[-]

HAHAHA020125@reddit

How to fix this sht man. Games is literally on my screen but the energy to play games is not there anymore fuck

[-]

Pumpkin_Sushi@reddit

Its bad when you can't sit down and read for an hour.

You know things are totally fucked when even the dopamine stimulation machine can't maintain your interest.

RunInRunOn@reddit

But somehow, 1 hour of social media disappears in the blink of an eye

Does DND count as gaming? I play like 20 hr/week of DND, but when try to play vidya I just meh.. maybe like 5hr/week tops

[-]

theGaido@reddit

Not exactly his fault.

I discovered beauty of working out couple of years ago, and today most new games just bore me. I often think "Why I play this, if I can progress my new calisthenic move?" and this win.

And lots of new games are just bland and mediocre. I played RE9 and it was just "tuesday". But to this day I remember Disco Elysium and how it absolutely destroyed me, and to this day there was no game even close to it.

The "OP doesn't tolerate 1 hour of gaming" is much deeper topic than most people thing.

I get it, anon. I've burned out too.
