what did you do without gaming? i really want to stop sitting in my room all day but i feel like i'd just get bored

[@ragsdale9]

If you are feeling bored or apathetic then it's time to pickup drawing, 3D modeling, programming, or something other than gaming. The issue is that gaming like anything else can get to be repetitive and common. So your brain no longer sees it as novel or interesting. Changing routine or hobbies every few days can prevent this, I personally 3D model when I start feeling this. Also going outside and seeing some nature can help you reset.

[@Legendaley]

Great comment, love this approach

[@sskarter]

You have been playing same type of games

[@ragsdale9]

@@sskarter actually I play a wide variety of games and have thousands of hours in some games. I have over 1k hours in Kerbal Space Program and I have over 2k hours in PUBG. And I was going to deliberate on my history but instead I'll leave you a partial list off the top of my head. Ocarina of time, link to the past, minish cap, smash bros, smash bros brawl, harvest moon, Mario, duck hunt, perfect dark, battle at prycon, shores of hazeron, warfare incorporated, plant tycoon, village sim, tradewinds, Joust, Stardew Valley, Halo, COD, rust, cs source, CS go, gang beasts, DayZ, among us, astro empires, empyrion, the original galaxy online. I've played much more including Indy titles and early access. But I think this should be sufficient to make my point. // I forgot to mention the racing titles like track mania and need for speed but I feel like need for speed is something I can't enjoy anymore. Racing in general has lost its touch for me.

Games aren't boring, we're getting older and as you get older you experience more games, so everything starts to feel the same until someone comes along and makes a game with mechanics or a style you've never seen or experienced. Games used to last months as a kid, but that's because everything was difficult as a kid. Things get easier as we get older.

[@stubbztheman3052]

I agree. I can’t say that it’s because everything starts to feel the same. At least on my end. Apex keeps me around, but that still gets boring. Minecraft kept me busy for a bit again, god of war I waited years for like everyone else. Even took some time off from work to play but I only played it through once. Played the first one about 10 times. I can’t pinpoint what it is, but it’s just getting boring

[@myboijonsery]

WRONG it’s basically because of innovation when we were younger brand new ideas of games came out every year so the games were more exciting that doesn’t happen as often now making them seem more boring

[@case4298]

No, it's also because back then games were made by gamers and nowadays games are made by just some money hungry companies. There are still some indie games that are still fun to play

[@gamermonkeyplayz9776]

If you're playing just to chase that feeling that you felt as a kid while playing games, you won't get it. Just accept the fact that we have grown up. Enjoy and appreciate the game in your own time and moment. Just have fun. Dont keep chasing nostalgia, it wont come.

The gaming detox goes very good and this video is a BANGER!!!!

[@FLUIDITY_O]

Best advice I can give… if you feel like gaming is empty try these 3 things: 1. Stop playing for at least a month 2. Don’t do any drugs for that period including alcohol drugs can heighten your levels of reward chemicals making normal things like gaming seem dull 3. Find something hard and rewarding to do like a job or even just cleaning, fill your days with difficult tasks so the game feels even more rewarding 4. Limit social media and online interactions. I know it’s not always feasible to completely cut out all social media but putting time limits can really help. This all helped me feel the super exciting and rewarding nature of video games I had lost so long ago. The good times seem dull when you don’t have any bad times and doing difficult things truly heightens the excitement that gaming can bring. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
