Current Events > Playing videogames makes me feel lonely and depressed

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im finally admitting to myself why I havent played them much since I beat Uncharted 4 in 2016. I bought RDR 2 and TLoU2 at launch without getting more than halfway through, only played SW: Jedi Fallen Order twice, gave up on RE7 at the last boss, and got to the Mr. X part on RE2 Remake.

Whenever I boot up my PS4, I feel like I can literally be doing anything else and it would be a more productive use of my time. But when I force myself to play a game, its like half of me is having fun, while the other half is reminded of how lonely and depressed I am. Maybe you can call it a trigger for me, because if Im laying in bed on my phone with the TV on in the background Im completely okay.

I feel like a weirdo CE.

Tragic thing is that all of us weirdos are spread so thin across the country (and world) that we can't even keep each other company. I find roadkill more engaging than the rednecks where I live.

Youre burnt out, take a break or do something else

I relate to this part hard. That's why my plan is to stop playing games and make the most of this summer.

What video games did you play though?
I can understand the immersive triple-A immersive cinematic experiences you listed boring you half to death but where were the games?
