I thought I would never tire of vidya. And then one day I realised I was basically done gaming. Maybe when my body starts failing me I will come back to it, but I don't know...

This was me for many years when I joined the military. But then it fucked me up and gave me PTSD and now it's about the most productive thing I'm capable of aside from posting terrible memes so I can totally see how our generation will retire back into video game connoisseurs now.

It's a weird thing. I never really stopped playing video games. There were games I played pretty kuch daily, if only for half an hour or so. Then if i stop for some reason (vacation, girlfriend, no time, whatever) and i didn't play any video games for a week or two, i don't have any urge to go back really. And then i fire up a old ir brand new game and i remember how much i like it.

I was several years in this phase, but now I've completely recovered and getting on with BG3

Sometimes its just that there is no game that scratches that itch in your head that you had when you were younger - bg3 scratches that itch for me too
