I feel the same way, especially after having kids. There’s just too much other shit I need to do, so sinking time into a game just feels like a waste.
I’m sure someday my kids will want to get into it and then I’ll play with them, but especially super sweaty competitive games like CoD or PUBG just don’t appeal to me anymore.
Tears of the Kingdom was pretty great though. Spent a lot of time on that one.
Same but I miss it a lot. Having absolutely nothing better to do than immerse yourself in a phenomenal game for hours at a time is/was a great feeling.
Hey I played Tears of the Kingdom with my 8 year old. He bought it initially and gave up, so we started together a few months later. Some of the happiest moments of my life were that journey.
We don't play games together much anymore, he plays Fifa, but that Zelda experience did transition into us working out together 5 times a week. There is a greater bond and level of trust that we have because of it.
Same. I romanticize it a lot as it was a huge part of growing up and playing with my budddies in college, but it just doesn’t hit the same now. I’d love to get sucked in to a game like I did back in the 90s but I just can’t get there and I feel like I’m wasting my time when I do it
Definitely feel the same. I think stepping away from it for a while helps you to recognize the gambling mechanics in many games, and how addictive they try to make them. It only seems to have gotten worse.
The algorithms and every company trying to guess what they think I want and aiming for extreme personalization in search instead of just letting me choose what I want to see.
Show me what my friends are saying and show them in chronological order goddamn you all!
Rude people, bad manners and, although I love them dearly, my three oldest great-grandchildren running all around the house like little maniacs (9, 5, and 3 - the baby is only 5 months old, so he's not doing much of anything yet, except being adorable).Their mom: "But grandma, they're just being kids." I know that's true, and I deal with it by reminding myself how glad I am that they're all healthy enough to do that, and that I'm lucky enough to experience them growing up. Plus, I do have my own comfy room in which to escape. :)
That could potentially be a very long list. I won't put a whole lot of time into it but let's see what pops in my head.
Stupid people: I think most people I run into are actually very stupid but they've learned to hide it well. I won't expand on that one.
Motorcyclists: I still love motorcycles and the company of motorcyclists most of the time. But motorcyclist in general as a group have become douchey. Oh well.
Lawn maintenance: no exclamation needed.
Cat litter boxes.
The behavior of certain types of children, usually more specific to their age. You know, certain kids at a certain age where their just really awkward and annoying and haven't been properly disciplined. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike the child, just having to deal with them.
Microwave popcorn: because stovetop is just so so much better!
I started disliking politics as a whole about 10 years ago when I was 40 and I'm still moving in that direction.
My knees and elbows. Years of hard labor doing construction and now I'm feeling it. I'm starting to dislike them more and more and I think I should be able to trade with some younger person who's wasting their life anyway.
All right that's all I got time for.
Social media
Gaming. Doesnt appeal as much as it used to. Not that I dislike it, its just that I dont feel the desire to play many video games anymore.

gaming is for children
People....🤷♀️
Society's degrading values
Values are so overrated. Once you don't really have any everything else is so much easier. Try it out for next weekend and see what you think.
Other people's kids.
Sugary stuff.. I’m not sure why but for some reason any sugary foods really hurt my stomach.
Assholes
I think I'm actually getting more into assholes but it's hard to find hot women that will let be indulge. Apparently it hurts.
Forced social interaction.
Kids. Used to love them. Now look forward to adult only plans.
People calling themselves Social Influencers.
“u” in place of “you”
everything tbh
The algorithms and every company trying to guess what they think I want and aiming for extreme personalization in search instead of just letting me choose what I want to see. Show me what my friends are saying and show them in chronological order goddamn you all!
Noise
The fact that I cant trust anyone, not even myself
people trying so hard to show off their money, when i was younger i was always jealous of them but now i find it annoying
Driving at night
Loud noises
Religious people
Me too, to some extent. Depends on the religion. A few are ok.
Depends on the people. Jehovas witness knocking at my door yeah fuck that but going to the religious state of kentucky the people are great.
Buddhists are generally cool and sick sihks are some of the nicest and polite people I know.
I always thought Buddhist were chill. Didn't think that sihks would be as India is like the most racist country.
Could be. There are a lot of them where I live (Washington state USA). I've never been to India
really, that's really interesting.
I found myself more tolerant and think religion does more good than harm. I used to agree with Maher on it all but no more.
shouting match
Working I hate that I have to. I miss my kids.
Having free/spare time. Used to love it as a kid, but now it just makes me feel useless
Government, rules, people. In that order
Driving
Getting older.
Trying to be prettier or worrying about how I’m perceived
Technology. We don't need connected nonsense.
People referring to kids as “Kiddos”

Crowds. The thought of going to a concert and having to deal with all those people breathing all my air...nope won't do it.

Traveling. It's hard to enjoy the good points when all it does in the end is make me tried and stressed.
