I grew up and stopped liking games as much.

Sometimes you just have to busy yourself with other things and wait for a day you know you can play.

@komrade "I grew up and stopped liking games as much." from the guy with 50 runs on the site!?

I was grown up. then life to a dump on me. I turned back to gaming to escape my personal hell. but you must have known about my life to be able to judge me as childish.

I love to draw some art or read some books :)

I can understand this. Growing up I had seen a lot of stuff and tend to worry a lot about everyone. Gaming just calms me down and takes my mind off things. In fact I just got Ultra Sun and will do a mono Fairy run on it.

Basically just do whatever helps you relax and have fun.

@kyten44 yeah I didn't mean it to insult you. I wasn't telling you to grow up, just saying I care less about gaming now, that's helped me

@Komrade I am sorry. I told you I had a Shitty week. but there was no need to take it out on you. Forgive me please?

You did nothing wrong.

Scratch the fairy thing, I changed my mind and went mono Dark instead. But I digress. You'll be fine, don't worry too much and try to relax. :)

Isn't that normal?

Spend a lot of time doing something and you are likely to get tired of it or just not enjoy it as much and look for other hobbies or other ways to spend time.

When not in a gaming mood, i like to walk around town, listen to podcasts(strangely enough, not much of a music listener...that doesn't come from TV, Movies or video games), watch tv or movies, or just read, sometimes there are periods when i do one of those things more than the others before going back into doing another more.

Right now i am in one of my gaming periods where i really like to game, before that it was TV shows(thanks Netflix!) and right now i can see myself going back to walking around a lot while listening to podcasts.

At least that's just me, there are just phases when i do one hobby more and do less of the others and ignore them only to get back to them.
