@Tea, it sounds like a solid workaround and nudging one in the right direction.

I think what also contributes to my initial post is that there are so many games this generation year after year delivering AAA and even AA titles that excels. I think in the long run console gaming, or even just the games, is getting pretty expensive. This generation already saw what the market is doing with price hikes a year after launching base models. This in itself doesn’t make software any less expensive . Nintendo made a benchmark on new titles by charging $80 a game. The rest will follow suit.

My objective opinion is that we can already see what the next generation is going to offer in terms of hardware. Example, the price tag of the PS5 Pro is the next benchmark for the PS6 base model. Sustainable? Is it still following the cheapest way of getting to game? Philosophy one-o-one.

i get it too tbh - remedy it with 2 things.

1. A genuine break from games (read/ hike/ tv series etc.)

or

2. Select a completely random game I usually wouldn't play , and give that a go~

Those two get me gaming again!

Gaming fatigue is for noobs

Gamer 4 Life!
But yea, adult responsibilities can get in the way.

Goooooood mornin’ NexusHub (que Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack),

Do you ever experience gaming fatigue? It’s a phase now and again talking with respects to myself. I’m just wondering if it is a reality to feel this way. I mean, I’ll never give up on my most favorite art medium, sometimes I just manage to take a breather - of courselife happens in between and gaming would never be the same since you hit the adult world full of responsibilities.
