I’m wasting my time.
Two sides come to mind:
Remember that productivity is at its peak with life satisfaction as well; we need relaxation and breaks, even if they must be scheduled at times, to maintain long-term productivity. We’re not emotionless robots.
On the other hand, it’s totally fine to feel phases when gaming isn’t currently for you. Digging into a skill-based craft (pottery, cooking, music-making, etc.), exercising while watching TV & film, or even writing scripts is all fine as well, if not maybe even preferable. For me, I went through a time when the majority of my gaming was casual, turn-based, multiplayer board games with friends over voice chat, mostly just to have fun with and catch up with said friends almost more than the actual games (which include a range of both co-op and competitive titles). I’ve also generally gotten hyper-picky with games and how I spend my time; Lemmy posts are just as interesting as many games, or tinkering with the programs Espanso, Syncthing, etc. There is nothing wrong with leaving gaming due to a lack of personal interest, even if you were a hardcore gamer before or whatever. I can’t even visit my favorites from before, but I find immense joy in watching a friend play through any of them for their first time. There are all sorts of things we can do in life outside of our own direct playing of games. Some even get wanderlust and fly abroad… those weirdos (lol jk).
I get tired of being me.
If this has been going on for a while, and the above mindsets don’t make a dent, it sounds like a trip carefully planned and actively supervised by a veteran psychonaut may be worthwhile. 🍄
I tried with HK and gave up after going over halfway through, taking a break, and getting slaughtered repeatedly upon the skills drop from the break. I have since learned that I’m no masochist and prefer my max health solidly in the double or triple digits (if the game has health at all).
