2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Anyone have a sudden loss in gaming? (lemmy.world)

I’m in my late 30s now and over the past 6ish months, I have been gaming a lot less or I find myself gaming but not enjoying it.

I used to always have a game I wanted to play or revisit, but it seems that nothing is really catching my interest.

I’m mostly a retro gamer so I was always happy to revisit old titles. But now I get bored of them quickly.

What the others said.

Maybe you need to take a break from games and indulge in some other, or new, hobby.

I like audiobooks, electric skateboards, cycling, manga... And more.

You could also expand the kinds of games you play. I keep trying new genres and if one gets boring I try something else.

Don't force yourself if you aren't having fun. That's a quick way to really ruin something you like.

I've gone through several episodes of feeling like there's nothing I want to play... But, if I keep giving things a chance, and make sure not to burn myself out by trying to find something too hard, or forcing myself to play something because it "supposed" to be fun, even when right then it isnt, something eventually gets me hooked right back in.

Most recently that has been Deadlock. I can't get enough of it and the feeling is the best.
