Be honest, young bloods, what's the longest you've gone without playing video games?

[firemanBk]

Right now I've barely played any games in months
Since I beat Elden Ring NG+, I played that Ninja Turtles game and a little bit of Fall Guys and that's it.
I kinda go in and out of gaming tbh
I'll get very very hooked for a long time but take long gaps without playing anything

Now I almost have to put this shyt in my schedule to get some hours in.

This is exactly how I feel a lot of times. I used to be clocking hours and hours a day when I was younger. Now I have to make a conscious effort to sit down and game. And even then, I'm usually only playing indie games, idle/casual games, and retro games...maybe throw in a simulation or base-building type game if I'm really feeling it. Hard to find the time to jump into AAA adventure games, they take me weeks to beat.

Haven’t really touched my PS5 since April. I want to get back on Elden Ring but I just be doing other things

Years....matter of fact I completely skipped over the PS4\XB1 era as a result

Back in HS when I thought my PS3 broke, I went a full year without playing the game. I randomly decided to turn it on one day and it worked.

I may do 2-3 games a year honestly nowadays. Most games just don't move me like that anymore. Besides Elden Ring (which I've probably put 200 hours in), AI Somnium Files Nirvana Initiative (Virtual Novel basically), and Wasteland 3 (just started but like it) I haven't really played anything.

I thinks the biggest difference is I don't really play multiplayer games like that anymore. Nothing but time, but I just don't have the urge. Avowed, and the Kotor remake are the only two games I'm actively anticipating besides the annual FromSoftware project. It's nothing to go a month or two without literally playing anything.​

Longest: month or two
Mostly, I go a week or two without playing something.

Gone years at a time. I only really play if there’s a game I really want to play.

Longest I’ve ever gone in my life without playing games has probably been about 2 weeks and that was cause I was out of town or some shyt

My earliest memories were playing super Mario and mortal Kombat on SNES
