   Someone irl pointed out that I never (or at least extremely rarely) touch actual video games anymore and it made me go huh. What a weird thing to realise after knowing I spent so much time when I was younger with them

     @allison @cell @nyarlathotep oh yeah, I pretty much got nothing but bangers as a kid on console
     
     Otherwise, for the anhedonia, the thing is that you most likely get yourself used to a routine without games. Gotta try to force them in... it's weird like that. Also play something awesome, that'll really get you going

     @cell @nyarlathotep I lucked out in the sense that I found what clicks for me pretty early on and it still holds up, nostalgia or not.

     @allison @nyarlathotep When what used to excite you does not
     Like you've used up all your allowance of experiences

     @nyarlathotep anhedonia is a real enough thing, yes

     I'd like to say they just don't interest me anymore, but also ???? nothing really does tbh. Smells like a Mental Illness Moment™ mayhaps

     @coolboymew @allison @cell Yeah, when I find something kickass I like it a lot, some of my fav games ever have been ones I forced myself to play and complete in the past year or so (JSRF and Postal 2 come to mind)
     
     It's hard to get started in the first place and then have motivation to complete them as well though :beatoPout:

     @nyarlathotep @allison @cell yeah, I understand, same. In the end, the more you don't play, the more you just get into this habit and it's lame
     
     I have a hard time also starting game but goddamn do I hate tutorial periods

     @coolboymew @cell @nyarlathotep that's why I like arcade games, pretty much all of that frustration is zeroed out in favor of actually *learning the game*

     @allison @cell @nyarlathotep oh yeah arcade games holds no hands, are tough as nails and are merciless

     @coolboymew @cell @nyarlathotep and also unrelentingly fair unless they're badly designed or screwed up in export revisions
