I thought I would never tire of vidya. And then one day I realised I was basically done gaming. Maybe when my body starts failing me I will come back to it, but I don't know...
This was me for many years when I joined the military. But then it fucked me up and gave me PTSD and now it's about the most productive thing I'm capable of aside from posting terrible memes so I can totally see how our generation will retire back into video game connoisseurs now.
As long as my old consoles still work. Imma be playing them.
It's a weird thing. I never really stopped playing video games. There were games I played pretty kuch daily, if only for half an hour or so. Then if i stop for some reason (vacation, girlfriend, no time, whatever) and i didn't play any video games for a week or two, i don't have any urge to go back really. And then i fire up a old ir brand new game and i remember how much i like it.
@BruceTwarzen @Kushia @Flyberius, i'm 70 Jears old and i still like good Videogames in a spare time. Keeps the mind fresh.
Sometimes its just that there is no game that scratches that itch in your head that you had when you were younger - bg3 scratches that itch for me too
