You can do that? Stop playing a game when you're not having fun anymore?

Hubi@feddit.org · 58 pts · 321d (3 replies)

Don't let War Thunder players hear about this

Dagnet@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 321d

WoW players in shambles

I'm pretty sure they just play the game so the have something to do between arguments about military secrets on the forums.

Or Destiny players

Quitting Dota 10 years ago was the best gaming decision I ever made. I still love the game but playing it made me nothing but miserable.

I was into it for like 4 straight months last year but fell off over Christmas and never really picked it back up. If I take a break from something for whatever reason I tend to lose all interest in it and more or less forget it exists. Just ADHD things I guess.

I kind of regret losing momentum as I feel like I was getting better at it, but at the same time it might be for the best. One of the other reasons for quitting Dota was to actually get to experience and finish some quality single player games. Last fall Deadlock was taking all my time.

Also I'm not getting younger am I, won't keep up with the teens forever in a fast game like Deadlock.

Sounds like she's doing what every bottom feeding streamer can't do.

Quitting cuz it isn't fun anymore.

Good for her.

Sounds like she's doing what every bottom feeding streamer can't do.

Quitting cuz it isn't fun anymore.

Or most employed people

I thought she did that a year or so ago? Regardless, as much as I like Skyrim there isn't infinite content. Probably isn't worth the stress

Zorque@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 321d

Yeah, it's in the article.

The feedback Curry gets on her videos isn't quite the dialogue she's looking for

Aaaaaand this here is why we can't have nice things

SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org · 7 pts · 321d (1 reply)

Can't some rapper teach her to ignore the haters?

Gloomy@mander.xyz · 19 pts · 321d

From what i understand in the article, it's not haters she has a problem with.

It seems that her strem has to many kids as followrs and she doesn't feel she can have meningfull conversations with them. At least thats how i read it.

58008@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 321d

She's said this every year for the last 3 years at least 😆

rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 23 pts · 321d (5 replies)

She'll get back on that horse when ES6 drops

Infernal_pizza@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 21 pts · 321d (2 replies)

She'll be over 100 by then!

It's not called whippersnapper scrolls.

bogpunk@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 321d

PunnyName@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 321d

She'll be in it, whenever it drops.
