!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Back then I would play games for hours and hours to the point my parents would get angry at me. Now above my 18s I can not even play more than 50 minutes because for some reason everything quickly gets boring.
I used to draw a lot back then. My loss of interest for games gradually made me go back to drawing and I am fine with it, it is nearly a decade I have not drawn until I decided to work on something yesterday on a paper. Did my first dedicated drawing yesterday and I am planning to do more in the next weeks 🙂.
I still play games sometimes though (warframe, minecraft, worldox) but again just for a few minutes and rarely an hour or more.
Hey, that wasn't mean at all! I don't believe you are a mean cow.
For me, it's a lack of friends to play games I like with
Yeah, I've only gotten one friend ever to get vintage story and play it with me
i get that but it might not be the games fault dawg
Definitely isn't
What’s your relationship with social media, or cannabis? Do you scroll short form media? Do you post lots of comments on Lemmy/reddit?
If none of those are an issue, then maybe you just got older.
I do not use drugs. I do not scroll short form media because it irritates me too 😅. Social media use is occasional.
That’s great! I assume your interests have just changed as you got older then! Or, the demands of adult life are pulling your attention.
Maybe it's just the type of games you play that you've lost interest in. Steam has lots of demos for games from just about every gaming genre, so maybe try out demos for highly rated games of genres you don't normally play. You may end up surprising yourself. Maybe you do like cosy games, or real time strategy, or management simulations, etc, but because you've never tried them, you never realized that you like them.
