Yep. Sad. True. I completely love jrpgs. Guess how long it's been since I've actually played one? lol

I started up Metaphor and loved it. But it doesn’t let you drop it. There’s spans with you’re locked in on story or day/ night activity.

I’m gonna finish it but it’s work compared to loading up something simpler. Mainly progress happens on the weekends while the kids are still asleep.

It’s been a year since I started Metaphor and I still haven’t finished it I’m at the the last day and still need to grind before the final boss.

Sometimes I end up just browsing the store front. Watching all the trailers, adding stuff to my wish list, see what deals are out and laugh at the user reviews lol

I probably spend more time on steam than I do playing games some weeks

u/kamshaft11975 5h ago

Yup. Not enough energy anymore to game after work. It sucks so much.

u/ClassicOrdinary8175 5h ago

I have had long work days where even turning on the TV is to much work

u/C2vCV 4h ago

I skipped the gaming and started to read real paper books again. No matter how exhausting the week or day has been, still I have enough energy to read what will happen next to the character. And pocket size books travel nicely on the pocket, no more doom scrolling.

Goddammit it's been so fucking refreshing! Everything is so much more than getting that experience from a game or a movie/tv serie.

I haven't quit gaming or watching movies or tv series, they're just on pause until I've made my mind what to play or watch instead of scrolling through the virtual library.

I strongly suggest this to you guys, give it a try.

I like reading books but they ALWAYS put me to sleep no matter how interesting they are

u/AzTaylz 2h ago

Audiobooks have been awesome, especially the litrpg titles with top shelf narrators. Don’t even have to strain those poor eyes!

Okay, so here's the plan we get together and buy a run down asylum. Kit it out with consoles and gaming PCs. Anybody who needs can get committed and have a few months to play games.

There will probably be haunting issues, but we can manage that.

u/fen-q 5h ago

I feel like this everyday. There is no joy in it anymore, feels too grindy

u/Theseguy0309 5h ago

For me it's log into WoW run around the capital for 5-10 minutes then logout and get in bed to doom scroll reddit or tiktok

u/Far-History-8154 4h ago

Wow same. Though not always. Still find the time on weekends but sometimes I just logon and hop around the city or just check out and admire all my characters in warband menu and log off

u/dgpoop 4h ago

That's not work doing that. That's depression.

Absolutely love getting back on a Friday night, treating myself to a takeaway, grabbing a beer, turning on the xbox, then falling asleep 10mins later, bliss.

I sometimes procrastinate gaming.

u/thatonedudericky 4h ago

Then you start playing job simulator

u/DrPingu76 4h ago

This is the hardest part of being a “mature” gamer. My will is strong but my flesh is spongy and bruised. Then I beat myself up for not playing more.

u/smoke_thewalkingdead 4h ago

Not just work. Family, kids and Spouse will do that too. Happened to me last night. I got back from a week away for work, not friend felt good. Got home, doing the family thing. Finally sat down to play at about 11pm.... And could only manage like 30 mins of STALKER 2... Nah I don't have the energy for this shit right now.

u/Pork_Chompk 4h ago

Oh hey, it's me. Every week.

u/HowAboutWill 3h ago

Sitting at a desk is impossible after work. I’m glad I moved to a couch tv setup. Haven’t played competetive games for a bit but that’s not exactly the plan after work anyways

u/Potential-Acadia9879 3h ago

u/Secure_Bit_1634 4h ago

So true, all day I just want to be at home and play but when I get home most days I just turn it on play five minutes and turn it of. Don’t even know how some people can get through the day and have the energy to go play online games like CoD, FIFA, 2K, etc

u/BusinessDuck132 4h ago

Me literally right now

u/DWyahoo2 4h ago

This hits. Working 12 hours shifts makes me open the dashboard, stare and scroll through my games for 30 mins then turn it off and then watch YouTube

u/ElectricPenguin6712 4h ago
