Reposted by Mitchell R. R. AkhurstNayan Ramachandran @thetrin.blacksky.app · 19/09/2026Sincerely, if you're not enjoying video games like you used to, maybe it's time to step away and enjoy another hobby. Go read a comic book. Or a novel. Or watch a TV show. Play a sport. Just go do something else for a couple months. If you want to play again, you'll come back eventually. 153
