I can remember playing super mario bros (the OG one) on my console when i was a wee lad since then playing games never gave me any joy and felt like i was wasting time for nothing .

Edit : For clarification i do enjoy other mediums such as tv, movie, books and enjoy working out etc. its just gaming that i am burned out of .

    I grew up. I also broke out of a shy shell more and prefer living life rather than sitting in my room, which wasn’t very good for my mental health.

      Ain’t gotta sit alone in one’s room to enjoy gaming. Just about the only time I game anymore is when I’m hanging out with my friends.

        That’s great! I was primarily referring to singleplayer stuff.

      Some of my favourite gaming moments have involved getting the friends together to have a few rounds of Mario Kart or other games

        Multiplayer gaming with friends on something simple is far more superior to playing alone. I wholeheartedly agree with this.

          Yeah. Even online doesn’t do it for me, just feels like I’m playing against advanced bots.

          But having the controllers out, snacks in the middle and a good selection of games just brings me back to the days where you’d lug an N64 over and play Goldeneye and MK64.
