Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sold all my consoles.

I mean raising children and playing games is not mutually exclusive. But if you weren't using the consoles and had no plans to, it makes sense.

But that kid is gonna get bored of you eventually, he will probably want a console.

Sometimes I feel like that. It feels like video games are just another stress to add to the pile of stress that already exists. Just another chore to get to. A responsibility meant to hide your other responsibilities. And sometimes I want to rip away that luxury and just address the real problem at hand. To stop hiding and running from it.

But nope. There's a comfort in just conforming.

LOL depends on what game you're playing. There are games you can just jump into and have some fun for a few mins and walk away and then there are those complex games that you need to devote so much time that make you feel like you can't walk away.

Games that are stress free to me are games like ANY racing game...love the WipEout series and NFS: HP or NFS: Rivals.

Also, a fighting game like Tekken or Mortal Kombat. Fun games that I can just enjoy without caring too much about any details. Hell, even a simple game like Shadow of the Colossus to me that has a great story without the story overpowering the simplicity of the game world. Good stuff! There are games to cater to every type of player...makes me happy to say that.

Changing diapers and lack of sleep has a metascore of 100?

Oh hell yeah. Because after all he is giving me one smile and my battery is fully charged again.

Hey people. I just sold all of my consoles. I am console free now. Thought of holding the switch but nah. Just my PC left. But also just for printing something, writing emails and for sure my crypto wallets. 

Why i did that? Gaming is boring. My first "console" was a c64. So i have seen all of the generations. I have a son  now. He is better than every game with a 100 Meta Score.

I really feel free. I am happy about that. Just wanted to tell that to the vgchartz. I will not miss it.

 

Regards.

As soon as Sony ever decides to make their games available on PC, I'm cutting the console cord too.

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Sure go for it if you want, but if you wanted to give up alcohol would you go into a bar and start to talk about how you just sold off all the hidden booze you had stashed in your PC case?
