    Idk dude. I think I flipped a switch and now just playing games doesn’t do it for me because what’s the point really? There’s too many and too many of them are just cash grabs. I can basically only play old or indie games and only if I stream it so that my friend who’s depressed can get some virtual company.

    I don’t regret having spent so much time with games but I guess there’s a time and place.

      Yeah. When you start to realize that video games are just success surrogates to help you compensate for a lack of success in real life, it gets depressing fast!

      I did so much gaming in my 20s. Now in my 40s it’s hard to motivate myself to play more than a few minutes!

      That’s so sweet and thoughtful of you to stream it for your friend. <3
