!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

There are certain video games that I feel like I’ve outgrown, but I will never outgrow video games as a whole. That’s like saying you’ll outgrow movies.
I'm stealing this
Yeah this is a good one.
I wouldn't say that. At some point, you may just lose interest. I used to be playing all day, but during my 20s interest faded and now in my 30s, I maybe play some old games for a few hours here and there, but more for nostalgia. If I couldn't play any games anymore, I wouldn't say I would be terribly sad.
Maybe it's different for you. People are different, after all.
I think I may be have outgrown movies, it's that or almost all of the movies in the past 5 years have been total crap.
Hmmm nah I don't think I've outgrown movies, I think it's the total crap thing.
i usually stay away from hollywood and cookie cutter movies and its fine. even then every once in a while something will catch my attention, i think you are just tired of all the really bad movies out there, like your tastes got more refined if you will.
Sorry, i replied on the wrong comment.
To your point, I've found storytelling to become fairly predictable as I age. Not that I didn't watch shows or movies anymore. There's a comfort in knowing what comes next and enjoying the art of visual storytelling and good acting. It also makes shows/movies that defy expectation that much better. Not "subvert expectations done poorly" like later seasons of GoT. More like (Andor spoilers)
