Current Events > What do you if you stop liking video games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What happens after that and what actions are you supposed to take?
If it's a big part of your identity or a big thing anchoring the social circles you participate in, are you supposed to try and swap it for something and hope they'll go along with it, or walk away from everything to do with it altogether?
Or is it something that happens gradually and unconsciously either when they either push you away enough or something more interesting shows up? That'd make sense since I don't really hear anyone talk about this. It goes with those last online 800 days ago pictures/stories at least.

Is this how you're currently feeling?

Turn off your console.

I was mostly thinking about the pictures I mentioned at the end. They give off this kind of lost forever vibe, but in actuality most of them were probably either won over by another console, weren't really there for the long haul from the start and just treated it a casual leisure activity or got sick of paying whatever subscription was in the way. Then it makes you wonder what happens with the real thing, people who seemed really into it and then just sort of walked off one day and didn't re-emerge.

But sometimes I do also look at all the games I haven't bought in the past few years, the dwindling amount I'm still interested in playing and the hoops I find myself jumping through to wring mileage out of some of them and wonder if I'm getting there.

Find another hobby

secks! rawr XD

Gonna sound crazy, but I'll start reading books. Complete the witcher series, then read the books game of thrones is based off of. Then the Andy Wier top picks probably.

My work hours doesn't allow me to connect with my old friends. Everyone works 9 til 5, I work 3pm til 1am and work weekends. And I can't just switch jobs because its my own business.

Stop and do something else for awhile.

Im stressed from the piles of games i have that im trying to play and all the other games i cant afford

I don't know, learn how to write a coherent sentence?

Was worth a go I suppose.

Ive never stopped liking them, Ive had stints of going weeks without playing due to life or lack of interest.

Let the earth reclaim me at long last.
