Along with the suggestions here can also recommend a short hike. There’s also a bunch of short, fulfilling games on itch.io and the developers see more of your cash vs steam, worth considering if you’re so inclined.
I also go through phases like this, particularly in the winter. You could be suffering from depression or if this is a more recent thing as the days get shorter maybe its SAD. Get some sunshine and a SAD lamp and see if that helps. If not, worth talking to a professional like others have suggested. Godspeed fellow gamer!
I just replaced my headphones with a set of these https://global.beyerdynamic.com/dt-770-pro-x-limited-edition.html
They’re so comfortable and sound incredible, they’re mostly intended for audio work which I do use them for but for gaming they’re so precise and clear too! Also incredibly comfy and loads of aftermarket stuff available for the dt700 pro x which are also excellent.
You’ll want a mic with these and I can also recommend this if you want a headset style mic rather than a standalone one on your desk: https://antlionaudio.com/collections/microphones
A friend of mine introduced me to this, it’s a great idea. Hope it gains some traction. Basically a purposefully vulnerable online game to help educate developers and of course a cheaters sandbox. https://pwnadventure.com/
Naturally , there’s no money in it so it wont stop cheaters elsewhere but a cool idea nonetheless.
Factorio cranking up towards 800 hours with the new expansion out. I dread to think how many hours got sunk into WoW over the years…
