I can remember playing super mario bros (the OG one) on my console when i was a wee lad since then playing games never gave me any joy and felt like i was wasting time for nothing .
Edit : For clarification i do enjoy other mediums such as tv, movie, books and enjoy working out etc. its just gaming that i am burned out of .
YouTube happened. If it wasn’t for it I’d probably still play much more than I currently do.
However I’ve always had a weird relationship with games anyway. I’m not interested about the vast majority of them but when I find one I like then I really get into it. Examples being games like RuneScape, AOE2, Minecraft, DayZ and the GTA series especially San Andreas Multi Player at which along with RuneScape I probably have the most hours in. Nowdays I only play DayZ which is probably my favourite game of all time despite being over 10 years old but even that I generally only play for few hours a week and then sometimes I go months without touching it.
