BTD6?

That game is so addicting...

[–] Salmarez@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I've had this problem(?) a few times in my life. Having a several month break from gaming helped me ignite the spark once again.

That deep fear of being homeless and hungry if shit goes sideways irl really takes the punch out of how much I give a shit if a sparkly pixel on my tv screen falls off a ledge or whatever.

Anyone else having a hard time after beating zelda totk?

That's my secret, I haven't beaten it just yet. Despite buying it on launch day and having 50-60 hours played, I'm still not done with it.

Being an adult and adulting and doing adult stuff - like taxes and buying groceries - does wonders for limiting your play time.

I'm 25 hours in. But man I'm enjoying it. Just spent an hour farming meat to make some rupees.

With some of the really good games that have come out recently, I've learned it really isn't just me not having interest/motivation. It is, in fact, that most games just fucking suck now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

AAA titles are mostly re-optomized towards selling you more of the game, by withholding that game's content and reselling it for more than they would've gotten.

This is partly a side effect of game value being mostly stagnant for years but also just greed in general.

Indie games have been a huge boon for me due to that, no bullshit, just a game; a fun game.

Literally, indie titles and games made by smaller companies (AA titles like Dishonored) have been the most fun for me to date.

I don't play games with dark patterns anymore. And seems like almost all of them went deep into that territory which severely limits what I can play.

[–] Wutchilli@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Dont worry, it will come Back(maybe with a new different kind of game)
