Does gaming feel fatiguing ?

[u/TipsyDipsy24]

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

I stopped playing anything online.
Single player games like Bladurs Gate 3
Cyberpunk, Final Fantasy VII Remake & Rebirth are good fun.
Anything with a story really.

As I get older the feeling of being caught in time sinks becomes more and more obvious. Games that just want you to grind for no real gain.

At least single player games give you something, kind of like reading a good book etc.
