I’m in my late 30s now and over the past 6ish months, I have been gaming a lot less or I find myself gaming but not enjoying it.
I used to always have a game I wanted to play or revisit, but it seems that nothing is really catching my interest.
I’m mostly a retro gamer so I was always happy to revisit old titles. But now I get bored of them quickly.
This can be a depression indicator, for me at least.
I don’t have any good advice for what to do with that info, but I hope it’s not that for you.
If you’re mega stressed and you lose your primary stress relief that can be rough.
Absolutely a depression indicator.
Post-election, my wife and I are going hard on co-op games again. We are not feeling so great.
But prior to that, we were casually gaming, maybe 1-2 hours a day at most.
Late 20s and I have the same. When I work I am often looking forward to play something after work or when I have time. But when I finally have time and want to start, I look at my library, can’t decide for something and lose interest.
I have exactly the same feeling. Work life and kids. When finally I had two hours of free time at 21pm when everyone was sleeping the other day, I spent one hour looking at my huge steam library of games that I bought on previous sales and still never played. I really wanted to spend those 2 hours on a good quality game but could not figure out which one. In the end I figured out it was not worth starting a new game for only one hour and wasted the remaining time watching useless stuff on YouTube…
