    Is this a real thing?

    I think it's sort of like: somebody that suddenly loses interest in all things relating to games, and not having fun in the games they usually enjoy

    Maybe there's another word to describe this type of behavior

    @Shana

    That is called "starting to live the real life". Gaming becomes less and less interesting the more you interact with people in talks, parties, trips, whatever...It acts like a haven for everyone either not ready to take the next step in life or for everyone not wanting to...I hate to say it but...grow up.

    Gaming is perceived as fun, but there are just so many more fun things to do with your time the older you get.

    A few years ago, I watched Anime and played lots of games caring alot about how I play. Lots of talk with friends was about Fifa for example.

    But it is going back steadily. I stopped watching Anime long ago and also stopped playing anything alot besides RF. Competitive gaming? That was long ago. Other things become more important in life - studying, doing stuff with friends you won't ever forget, having a relationship and much more. Earlier, I would have talked about the weapons in a game, now it is more "adult" stuff like politics and talk about real-life occurrences. Gaming now and then sure can be fun, but you realize that there is more. More fulfilling stuff.

    RF is the only relic of the past I am not ready to throw off yet. If I could and would, my life would become even better and I would complete the "transformation".

    I wish you the best of luck in finding your fulfillment.

    I get that from time to time. Just have to take a couple days where I do something else, but it typically comes back to me.
    Having a daily thing that doesn't involve games helps a lot, be it exercise, a job, sports with friends, or hell, even board games.
    Been playing Talisman and Catan with friends every week or so.

    This is the way to go, imo. Don't let games be your main activity and you are fine.

    I think it's just the fact that we're getting old.

    e.g. why am i feeling the need to shitpost on forums for a game I haven't played in years as an M4

    Usually happens to people that are too busy with life or they grow out of it and do other fun activities.

    Ever heard of depression?

    "A brain disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life." - Defined the depression.

    That's your answer.

    I don't see problem with mine. I am sloth. I cant understand what feel depression like. But I do know what it's meaning.

    For me, usually, when I feel like i don't want to play this game because I want to play that games than rather playing both this and that games. Even some games makes me lazy that I don't wanna to ******* farms the **** I want.



    In addition, for example of For Honor, a ***** playing one of top tier class and face to someone that is lowest tier class but they beat him with their godly ******** spam. And make him face it the realist that he lose to the lowest tier class it made him depression so easier. Because they dont want the real fact right over their **** face.

    That's what I see the players does that.

    You more than likely have some real life issues that need to be taken care of and your conscience won't let you have peace until you have either reconciled or solved said issues AKA DENIAL

    Nah
    I've been playing games since I came out the womb
    If I take a break from one game I move on to another
    Never ending cycle
    Never actually really just take a strong hiatus
