Heavy Sigh...

I have been losing a lot of interest in my gaming hobby, it is a little worrying for me personally, right now I find playing anything longer than 30 mins a chore but I have no problem burning through 24 episodes (average 25 mins max per episode) of anime, obviously with short break intervals of course. I'm also almost running out of things to watch.

Back in 2019 I had made plans to travel alone to Thailand and Bali, all sorted out, itineraries all up and ready then covid hit I have since divvy up the money between entertainment and food and it's all gone.

I would love to respark my interest in video games though, I have a mountain of backlog to conquer... sigh, maybe it's just a phase? ...Am gonna lie down and I will try my hardest not to be a dramatic and attention seeking pussy of the highest order on the internet (of all things and places).

Goodnight friends.

I went through a period like this during my PhD. Gaming is my main hobby, but I got to the point that I would get bored after a few minutes and then not know what to do with my time. My solution was to spend more time with friends and I got into hiking. Over time my enthusiasm for gaming returned (maybe not to the extent it was before though - I wouldn't spend all day gaming these days even if I could). I think I had just kind of burned out.

Admittedly, in-person social interactions aren't a great solution right now with COVID, but there is a reasonable chance that you have just burned out like I did and your enthusiasm will return.

Dunno ur personal story tho, maybe you should consider back to college or find a job, just to fullfill that void and made urself usefull to the community.
If you spent Valentine alone then shall find a grill/partner which fills the void too.

Good luck.

@Graxer you are right! I need to get out there and do something different but alas Covid. I tried to divert my attention elsewhere and downloaded Pocket app it is an app to collect short articles for a quick read and right now I find that fulfilling.

@leon315 I do have a job and is making ends meet. Work life is fine, just bored of a hobby that I used to find a lot of joy in that's all.
