For most of my life I’ve been an avid gamer. From the arcades in the 80s and the first Nintendo Entertainment System my family obtained to today’s PS5, XSX, and Switch, I think I have just about played them all over the years.
Recently, though, I have not had any interest in video games. I don’t think anything changed other than I just lost interest. It’s been months now, and while I have picked up a controller now and again, nothing has really grabbed me like it used to. I still watch the trailers and hype. Today there was a Nintendo showcase. But no excitement.
What I do instead is sit. I read, I paint miniatures, I scroll on my phone. Sometimes I do nothing but sit and stare. Somehow that’s preferable to diving into any number of the adventures I have loaded on one of my machines. I wonder if it will last?
