I can remember playing super mario bros (the OG one) on my console when i was a wee lad since then playing games never gave me any joy and felt like i was wasting time for nothing .

Edit : For clarification i do enjoy other mediums such as tv, movie, books and enjoy working out etc. its just gaming that i am burned out of .

I found less and less returns to sit at a desk for several hours a week. I play maybe 60hrs a year and it's mostly just replaying the same games I played when I was a teenager.

I grew up. I also broke out of a shy shell more and prefer living life rather than sitting in my room, which wasn't very good for my mental health.

Ain't gotta sit alone in one's room to enjoy gaming. Just about the only time I game anymore is when I'm hanging out with my friends.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

That's great! I was primarily referring to singleplayer stuff.

Some of my favourite gaming moments have involved getting the friends together to have a few rounds of Mario Kart or other games

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Multiplayer gaming with friends on something simple is far more superior to playing alone. I wholeheartedly agree with this.

[-] 520@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Even online doesn't do it for me, just feels like I'm playing against advanced bots.

But having the controllers out, snacks in the middle and a good selection of games just brings me back to the days where you'd lug an N64 over and play Goldeneye and MK64.

I prefer to play the game of life, pretty similar to video-games but instead of wasting time you have to spend money you don't have to buy useless shit to impress people who don't give a fuck and keep working to pay your debts, just part of growing up..

After years realized it's total waste of time. Reading books is zillion times better than playing games and watching TV. Finally realized truth which wize man said: I found gamas and TV very educational. Whenever somebody play or turn TV on, I go to other room and read.
