@Kidfried Good to see you, my friend. I was thinking about you the other day when we were discussing a game… but I completely forgot what game and what the context was 😅. Ah well, I might remember later. Hope you’re doing well, all the same!
@Th3solution@colonelkilgore@Jimmer-jammer and everyone else I have decided after falling off a slew of video games, including now, unfortunately, my latest, FFXV (I got lost in the first ice dungeon and even with the map markers showed no promise of finding my goal, it just seemed unreasonable and unfair), that gaming just isn't for me any more. I feel like I hit my peak completing Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls III and Bloodborne, and now it's just enough ,i don't feel like I can play games to any decent standard any more, and as I'm just not enjoying them I don't want to do it any more, it's been great chatting on here for the last couple of years, and, I won't delete the profile as hopefully I can still contribute to the General Discussion threads, possibly, maybe sometimes to keep in touch, but I won't be posting about gaming any more. I am, of course, open to suggestions for games which are about the same level as God Of War (2018) as I feel like something with that amount of hand-holding is manageable for me, but I'm not really open to anything more than that at this time, and it's only a possibility that I take you up on your suggestions any way, as my recent experiences have really soured me on gaming for the time being. All the best, keep in touch, and best of luck with your games and everything else. TBS.

@TheBrandedSwordsman sorry to hear that buddy... and it's typically ironic (in the best possible way) that you found little to no issue getting through From Softs notoriously difficult games yet have found yourself struggling elsewhere.
As we always harken back to, gaming is first and foremost about fun and enjoyment, so if you're not getting that from it, I don't blame you taking a hiatus at all. Good luck TBS... and I'll be hoping to see you back here sooner rather than later... and don't forget, God of War: Ragnarok isn't 'too' far away 👊
@TheBrandedSwordsman It’s okay to have a break from time to time and maybe see if things click at a later time for gaming. Immerse yourself into your other pursuits and passions like music, literature, sports, or whatever brings you joy. Elden Ring isn’t too far away and you might reconsider dipping your toes in gaming at that point. Many gamers will take months or even years away from it and then suddenly find it enjoyable again much later.
The community here is diverse with their interests so I do hope you still drop in and share your thoughts on any number of subjects at hand. 😄

Sorry to see you going but do whatever is best for you. As ever gaming is about the enjoyment and if you're not enjoying it then it makes sense to take a step back from time to time.
Whenever I get into a similar funk I find it helps to mix up the genres i'm playing so I'm not just banging my head against the wall, so to speak, with the same old stuff.
Take it easy and we'll still all be here, I reckon, whenever you drop by.

@Kidfried Hopefully we see you posting again sooner rather than later. But honestly, you’re probably on the right track taking a little break. It all got a bit heated for my liking.
@Kidfried I understand. Since they gave users the power to block other users it seems like the community is fracturing and you are getting cliques now like it's high school or something. I don't think the staff thought giving users the ability to block others through. I have been blocked by other users for no reason on NL and it just makes following conversations annoying. Even forum games are annoying now cause especially ones that require you to post a response to the one before you. If it's someone blocked then it just makes a mess of things. Look at Nintendolife's Video Game Character Alphabet thread and you will see what you mean.
I get it they are short on mods or whatever but giving that ability to users is just not a well thought out idea and I hope they get rid of it soon.

@Kidfried I'll be sorry to see you go but you got to do what's best for yourself. Take care and hopefully catch you in a game club thread or something soon 👍
@Kidfried Sorry to hear that. The block feature is interesting, because I've talked to a few people about it on here and NL, and have encountered differing viewpoints on it. I def. understand the problem it's trying to address, but I also struggle with the way it gives me the ability to fracture another person's user experience. While it's imperfect, I feel like the ignore function accomplishes 90% of what the block function does, but without harming the user experience of others.
I won't tell you how you should feel or ask you to stay, but it will be a shame to see you leave. Definitely consider returning at some point if you don't find another community that feels right for you, though, as you'll always have folks here who welcome hearing your perspective.
