Since it's a slow morning I have an interesting question.

Friend of mine told me he is done with gaming. I was like wow after like 35 years you're done? And he proceeded to tell me modern gaming is shit. He is like all these games are sci fi which I don't like, I don't like these super slow games that take forever either. But then he tells me old games have bad graphics...

Do you think it's possible to just get old and not like gaming anymore or is modern gaming actually kinda shitty? I never really thought that but I still enjoy gaming.
I think you friend just realized there's more to life than staring at a tv/computer screen 6-7 hrs a day. He may have just gotten a life. And no modern gaming does not suck, but what do i know i stopped playing when controllers started getting too complicated with so many buttons

I don't know if it's just me personally that has changed, but I get bored with games a LOT faster than I used to. I don't know if that has to do with the quality of games or if, again, it's just me that's changed. Every once and a while I'll get nostalgic and play some older games that I used to love SO much, and I'm like ehhhh these kind of suck and are boring now and I get sad because I wanted that same feeling I used to have. Only one I still love playing through is Warcraft 3. The only modern game I don't get tired of nowadays is League of Legends, but I guess it constantly changes so maybe that's why.
I think as we get older and have a lot of other things to do that plays in. Like I've been playing red dead 2 forever because I can't just put in 10 hours a day at it.

Actually...to be real with you...it's kind of the opposite. He's a single dude that lives with his mom and has no job. He got divorced and over the last few years I've noticed basically anything and everything he use to like he says sucks now. Then he'll say he's to busy to try new things or seek out aspects that are good when in reality...he's not doing anything.

My GF thinks he's depressed and won't admit it.

I hit reply to be like "Dawg he sounds depressed" when I saw your GF said the same, 100% agree. That sounds like the super sads.

back with my burrito!

As for gaming... I've always been into casual games but I have stopped playing as much as I used to because I have to think more about trade-offs in terms of what I do with my time and what I do for enjoyment than I did in high school and college. Ex: stardew valley - it's so much fun but I just don't want to invest massive amounts of time because that time is too precious/limited and I'm using most of it for music and turking (to fund the music stuff). So it's really just about priorities I guess!

I tried to have a conversation with him about it and he's like "I'm not depressed I don't get why people keep telling me this" it's like I dunno dude you literally crap on anything and everything constantly.

Back in the day when the arcade games were better than anything you could play at home.
