      Had to cover someone at work who was off sick and I missed 2 weeks of classic wow raids. Felt great and uninstalled it immediately. Never going back.

      Well that just sounds delightful.

    I attribute my revulsion toward live service games to this greentext. Great visualization of the endgame for the soul-sucking garbage that’s become popular in recent years. It’s a return to the 80s arcade, stealing your every cent at record speed, but infinitely more surreptitious.

      There is a place near me that’s a three floor complex of arcade machines and it’s a single entry fee to play them all.

      Yes, it’s horrible. My goal with a game is not to find something to fill hundreds of hours of my life, I have enough shit to do. I’m looking for an experience, like when I go to the movies.

      Maybe related, but I’m also not a big fan of TV series for the same reason, even the good ones have some filler and waste time.

      I remember once when my wife and I binge watched some exciting thriller series on Netflix, that was impossible to stop. We did 2 seasons with 10x1 hour episodes, and then realized it was Sunday evening, and our weekend was gone. It had more seasons, but we said nope, it’s just not worth our time.

        You’re saying you’ve only ever watched one tv show ever? That’s wild

        Funnily enough I don’t watch movies very often for similar reasons. They feel so shallow compared to a good series due to the limited time the creators have to tell any stories.

        I just refuse to watch any shows with episodes longer than 35 minutes. If I wanted a movie I’d watch a movie

        Once a day is better than not at all. Same as showering once per week is better than not at all. Gross, but better than nothing.

    Dark patterns in gaming are the absolute worst and although I understand that they’re structured to cater to the worst impulses in human thought patterns, I still don’t understand why people can’t quit.

    Then again, folks don’t quit drugs easy either.

      When already planning to quit again after a gacha relapse a few years back, I remember thinking “I’ll wait till this event is done”, but then the next event starts, then the next, then the next and they all overlap at least a little and I didn’t want to miss out.

      These games made me feel like it was important " work", that I was building up to something and that mastery and improvement was as easy as showing up and doing dailies.

      Yeah, dark patterns in gaming absolutely suck

      Like the other guy said, its mostly just fear of missing out. You would quit, but what if you miss the DOPAMINE.

    Oh, I think what anon meant to say is

      I would have thought you were joking but having bought one recently, the amount if wacky shit in that app, dailies included, is wild.

    At my worst I was doing three Gacha games and it was killing me. I had to quit and it’s genuinely hard to stay out seeing how fun some of these new Gacha games look. Can’t imagine doing this many and not hating your life

    source
    • Sat@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah that’s way too many. I gave myself a rule to only play max 2 gachas at the same time, and it’s working out fine.

      Also dude forgot that these games also have events and story, not just dailies.

      At least Genshin introduced a system where if you do Exploration, Events or Story, you don’t have to do dailies.

    Frickin’ mobile games. Got sucked into giving KonoSuba: Fantastic Days nearly an hour of my time every day for a few months. I even gave them nearly a hundred dollars. And it felt like WORK, because I didn’t want to be inefficient and miss quest rewards.

    Never again.

      Used to love the game Summoners War, but I had to quit for exactly this reason. Eventually I realized I was logging on for FOMO and that I had stopped having fun long ago.

    As I get older I begin to hate everything that wastes my time. Modern multiplayer games and social media are like that. I’d rather learn new languages and ride my bicycle instead.

    • Classy@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah I’m in the same boat. I’m 29, haven’t gamed since I was 25 or so. Its allure just evaporated once I got into botany, coding, hiking, Pacific War history, etc. Who has time to play vidya??

  • Boomkop3@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I don’t tolerate grinding, some people just straight up do daily, made up chores without fail for years. It’s like self inflicted torture imo

    source
    • slaacaa@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Same, I have enough chores at my home

      source
    • taladar@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      And it is not even like grinding in a game like, say, Minecraft, where you work on getting some resource and then get to look at something nice you built with them afterwards, it is often literally just some checkbox or counter.

      source
      • Boomkop3@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        To each their own, some can appreciate the checkbox

    I’m lucky I hate gatcha games and old style MMO’s. It seems exhausting.

    This is why I limit myself to one gacha and one MMO at a time

      And one idle-game, and one town builder with real-time build counters

    single player games are mostly still good.

    It’s sad that one of those dailies can’t be done anymore.

    Thanks, Crunchyroll. >:(
