Right. Let's see...

Take long breaks from gaming maybe, like a month or 2

 

[Dead End]

Just don't be anhedonic, bro.

 

[poorenglishcel]

Play something else maybe. I have to force myself to play games. It's the habit that keeps me going rather than the enjoyment of the game itself.

 

[1Disturbed]

Play something else.

 

[AutistSupremacist]

Change genres

 

[sewER dwellER]

Don't play sober

 

[Chud Norris72]

when I take long breaks from gaming I usually get the feeling again or try a genre of games you haven't tried before

 

[Dcel]

[zd60]

have some alcohol or drugs while playing

 

[Hoppipolla]

Modern games are often a bit pants though to be fair.

Yeah, I’ve felt this way as well I believe… not only the games I used to like no longer bring me joy, but also it’s very hard to find anything new that I can really get into

I think that mind rotting is part of it.. but also I think my soul or mind or something is trying to say that it’s expecting me to be raising a family and stuff instead, but I haven’t had romantic success to achieve that

Try different genres.

If you've got a job it's gonna be pretty hard to enjoy games again.
