Gaming Does anybody like the idea of gaming more than actually gaming?

    I’m the same way, I have games I’ve never even played lol.

    I got in a accident at work about a year ago and hand my dominant hand pulled off. They were able to put it back on but I’m missing two fingers and the only thing that works is my thumb. So some games are to hard for me to even play.

    I work in a lumber mill. My glove got caught in the chain that brings the lumber out of the mill and my hand went through 4 sprockets

    There’s too much to do in a lot of the new games. With much more limited playing time as an adult, games like Cyberpunk or RDR become a chore to get through.

    When I get my need for a gaming fix which i hardly ever have the time for, I just go replay some of my old favs from way back in the day. Dont have a ps4 or anything just play old PC games. Don't really vibe with the games these days, they just arnt the same. Granpa Skux out.

    Games are fun when you play with friends from IRL or have some kind of connection. That’s most likely why you assume the games from your childhood were more fun.

    I took a break from gaming for like 10 years and got back into it during the pandemic. It was honestly fun bonding with friends in a virtual since we couldn’t see each other in real life.

    Yeah, I kind of feel the same way lately. Since I've had my son I don't have much time at all to play singleplayer games. It's too easy to lose track of where I left off. I've been playing Warzone with a few dudes the past couple of months. Turn my brain off and just s---t the s--- with some friends for an hour or two.

    I've become too old to ignore how s-----y the industry is. That's taken a lot of fun out of it. I have not bothered with this generation so far, and between all the delays, the scarcity of consoles and the increased cost of the games, I don't see me bothering for a while yet.
