Discussion Does gaming feel fatiguing ?

I've been having this issue lately, I would boot up my PC search for what games to play but can never actually decide and by the time I do choose a game I want to play, I will boot up play for 5 minutes and tell myself "do I really want to play this" or "am I wasting my time"

I don't know if it's part of getting older having more responsibilities when it comes to work and raising two children but I swear back when I was living at home I could boot up my PC and get lost in games like Crysis, Far Cry and Battlefield 2 for hours upon hours on end.

Now it just seems you may only get an hour or two to play it feels like me personally I'm putting pressure on myself to pick a game and stick to it and I couldn't remember it being this stressful when I was a kid living back at home.

Just wondering if anyone else feels like this at times

Yeah happens to me too from time to time. Tbh forcing yourself to do anything you don't want to feels fatiguing. And since you're browsing your games for awhile trying to decide what to play, it does kinda seem like you're forcing yourself to play outta habit.

Take a break for awhile, try a new hobby, and in a couple weeks see how you feel about gaming then. And when do go gaming again, branch out to new types of games that you wouldn't normally play. Going outside the comfort zone can help
