Stoneykins, in Gamers who have gamed for a long time

It’s depression, and other stuff.

Personally, I find that when I feel that way, it’s because I’m actually just kinda tired of games in general. The huge variety available will often trick me into a headspace of “I’m not bored of games just certain games, I need to find the ones I’m in the mood for” but really what I need is a break. Do some crafts/art, get extra exercise, socialize with people that don’t normally game, read a book, visit family. Just shake up the shedule for a bit and do other stuff with your free time, and in my experience, you’ll want to play something, instead of just looking for something good enough to fill boredom.

dingus,

People are always so quick to jump on the “it’s depression” train, but it can also be totally normal for one’s tastes and interests to change over time.

I used to absolutely love games as a kid and teen. But as an adult, I just have a hard time getting into them anymore. I often seem to have fun watching people play games instead of experiencing them myself, and that’s ok too.

It’s like…after a day at work, I just want to unwind. Gaming requires a degree of effort and can even be stress inducing. So I’m just not super into it anymore. I try to get into games now and then but usually I can’t be bothered.

I mean, you’re right that for some people, it can signal depression. For others, it just signals growing older. Such is life.

Stoneykins, in Where can I NEUTRALLY keep up to date about the Palestina/Israel situation?

I haven’t found any, let me know if you do!

I just try to find all the information I can from all sources of all types, and then stress about my complete inability to be sure what is even true, considering how much of it is contradictory. The only thing I’m certain I learned is that neither side of this wants to tell the truth all the time, and new news will often change over the course of a week or so as people get caught in lies.

Agent641, in Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

Kings park, Perth.

Bigger than central park and high up on the only hill for miles

Dagwood222,

One of the great design tricks of Central Park is that at almost every entrance you go downhill. You are instantly cut off from the city noise.

For me the main reason is that games are the exact same with better graphics.I already spent hundreds of hours in one game getting better, unlocking shit, learning the maps. Why would I want to start from scratch for another game that is the exact same gameplay.

Nowadays I will only get into a game if it’s something I have never played before, and Pokemon games that I know what I am doing already and I just do. But starting a new shooter, new adventure game, rpg, etc, its just the same in green for me.

mbp, in What are some places you can spend time where you're protected from the elements and it doesn't cost anything to be there?

Museums! I find a lot of free ones here in Florida (indoor / outdoor)

Used to spend lots of late highschool - early college time there with friends when we couldn’t spend any more than $3 a day on extras lol

blackbrook,

Even ones that aren’t free often have a get in free day once a week or once a month.

I would say that my interests and priorities have changed, and when I do want to game I am much more picky as to what I invest that time into.

Maybe 5 years ago I was super into gaming. I would pick up lots of new releases, play them into oblivion, and move onto the next. Nowadays, I will research until I find a game I think I might like, and drop it quickly if I feel like I’m not having fun. Jedi: Fallen Order was a game I thought I’d like but I hated the backtracking and combat (I’m not a Souls-like fan).

aplomBomb,

I absolutely love souls games but cannot stand souls-likes

Kedly, in Gamers who have gamed for a long time

I mostly play indies now as I can get new experiences with them. I buy an AAA title less than once a year on average now

What about cities that dont have a lot of high rises?

thelsim, in What things do you do while eating?
@thelsim@sh.itjust.works avatar

For my work lunches, I either read a book or do some random sketching. Alternatively I go and buy something outside and go for a walk while eating my lunch. Some coworkers make a big thing about eating together, but I really can’t do that every day.
At home I usually don’t eat on my own.

HonorIsDead, in Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

Because its really hard to do it retroactively. Not too many people cared about its aesthetic/health or public value when compared to the commercial real estate value

someguy3,

The whole point was to do it proactively.

Crashumbc,

That ship sailed 120+ years ago

someguy3,

Thus the question, why wasn’t it copied more.

Appleseuss,

Well, they answered your question

This is how I am with books. I have Starters Anxiety

angrystego, in Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

Possible answers include: Because this concept is not suitable for every city. Because there are other ways to introduce greenery into the city center, like many bigger or smaller parks.

xc2215x, in Cookie purchase or hell?

No you are not going to hell.

Bad guys vs villains is never neutral. The winner writes the history and call themselves the justice. That’s how conflict works

Magnetar, in Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

The English Garden in Munich comes close: A long park reaching almost into the very center of the city.
