    What’s your go-to comfort game when you’re in a gaming slump? 🫶🏼

      I seem to always come back to Stardew or AC

    • @Gremlinish
      @Gremlinish Před 5 měsíci +8

      Stardew valley or animal crossing

      I've been playing pokemon unite and marvel snap. Just to get me thru the days. But I need to continue my other games. I guess I just don't want to finish them

      This is going to sound weird but I have been going back to Elden Ring when I'm in a slump. It's a big world I can run around in and i know how the world works now that I can master it....while occasionally getting chased by death birds. 10/10

    I'm currently in a gaming slump. It's been about a month. Each time I try to play something, no matter what it is, I last around 10 minutes, lose interest, and have to turn it off. I'm just watching a lot of movies and waiting for the interest to come back.

      @ian_sear Před 3 měsíci

      @BiscayneBarbie sorry to hear that. Just give it time. My interest in gaming came back a few weeks ago. I know the slump will inevitably come back at some point though.

  • @Pin_official95
    @Pin_official95 Před 5 měsíci +19

    My slump in part comes from not knowing what to play, I have bought a lot of games over the years and now I just don’t know how to choose, so I end up choosing nothing and not playing at all

      When I’m dealing with a situation like that I leave it to chance!! You can number your games and use a random number generator, use a rhyme, pick two and flip a coin, or get someone else to narrow it down to 3 and pick one from there. Whatever method seems easiest for you is best :) And if that choice is also overwhelming then please use the number generator

    Ooblets has been my current cozy game because of how easy it is to pick up and put down for other hobbies I have as well. I think the amount of choices has been overwhelming, and we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to want to play them as soon as they come out or try to stay in the know. It's definitely all about balance 💯

    Yess I am so glad you mentioned Baldur’s Gate 3! This one absolutely ejected me out of my gaming slump and I am obsessed. Even people who know me really well said it wouldn’t be my kind of game, but it’s been exactly what I’ve been missing!

  • @jamiljordan1040
    @jamiljordan1040 Před 5 měsíci +12

    Great too see you again was thinking about my brother who passed away in November but. I smiled when I saw you just posted a video 😊

    i missed your videos.. i agree last month I got into a gaming burnout and found myself wasting money and time on games that did not interest me. Even though they were “trending” games. I ended up going back to my past games that i loved and it got me back into it. I’m also a new gamer so right now i’m learning what kind of games i like and the type of gameplay…

    @itscapricious Před 5 měsíci +4

    been finding a lot of joy in potion permit lately. i can pick it up for a few minutes if that's all i have time or energy for but because the story element drives the game, it's given me a new outlook to how gaming can be self-care for me. it feels a lot more like picking up a book, which has led me both to reading and gaming more!!

  • @Poppy9988poppy

    I've been in a gaming slump too! Recently rediscovered my 3ds and have been playing New Leaf again. Have also ordered SOS trio of towns, never played it but heard it's one of the best!

  • @shimmerngspirit
    @shimmerngspirit Před 5 měsíci +2

    My husband and I used to love to play professor layton on the ds together. The old professor layton games were the best. But also, BG3 is extraordinary.

    Really enjoying FF7 Rebirth myself, that kinda got me out of the gaming slump I was in.

  • @Marie_24
    @Marie_24 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I missed your videos 🥹 I’ve actually have not been playing with my switch as much, got back to being obsessed with my DS and been enjoying reading on my kindle. I did however order princess peach because I have been waiting for this for years! ✨

    I’ve been in a gaming slump the last couple months while balancing undergrad. Glad to know others out there feeling the same way! Thanks kat for the video

    I've been in a bit of a cozy gaming slump as well, but something about Coral Island has me hooked. I love how much character the NPCs have and the repetitive tasks don't seem dull. I've spent a good few months on this game and usually by this point, I get bored and try something new. But Coral Island hasn't done that for me :) I've also limited myself to one cozy game at a time, otherwise I get overwhelmed.

  • @erikdaniels0n
    @erikdaniels0n Před 5 měsíci +5

    I am *obsessed* with Coral Island

    • @catsandstuff29
      @catsandstuff29 Před 5 měsíci

      I wanted to be but it feels a bit thin. It's mostly just decorating your farm and I couldn't find myself caring enough about the characters. It's a shame because it's a lovely idea but I just couldn't get into it.

  • @manakupo
    @manakupo Před 5 měsíci +1

    I was going to write a whole paragraph about this video, but in the end I simply decided “thank you” would suffice. I needed it. Happy to see you’re enjoying BG3! It’s the one that hooked me, too… reminds me of one of my old favorites, Dragon Age: Origins. You’ve also convinced me to finally go ahead and grab Cult of the Lamb 😂

  • @Muses333
    @Muses333 Před 5 měsíci

    Missed you! ❤ my nostalgia game is Final fantasy 1 and 2 on the GBA. They just released the pixel remaster on the switch and I love it so much 🥹 so happy to hear your soothing voice again! ❤❤

    Your videos are calming to watch and to listen to. Sorry about your gaming slump though! I agree with what you said that time is precious. I hope you have enjoyment in all you choose to dedicate time to. :)

  • @iskisparkles
    @iskisparkles Před 5 měsíci

    Very helpful video, thank you! I was in a gaming slump recently and I came up with the idea to make a picker wheel with games from my backlog and spin it and play whatever it lands on. Although I’ve procrastinated playing these games for so long, when the picker wheel picks one, it just somehow sparks my interest to play it again, idk xD weird

  • @iheartjaida

    Grindstone! Has been my go-to when I don’t have much time, or I don’t know/feel like playing

  • @TheExileWolf
    @TheExileWolf Před 4 měsíci +1

    Animal crossing, Cult of the lamb and Clubhouse games are my burnout games. These games help me unwind and chill until I'm ready to play a game with more intensity and challenge.

  • @WonderinPlays

    I am also at the gaming slump right now but we will get through this

  • @tinahoefs1455

    My go to would probably be a retro style turn based rpg and one of my current pick up and play ones is the cruel king and the great hero.

  • @brambleberry_png
    @brambleberry_png Před 5 měsíci

    If you're looking for a cozy a little melancholic visual novel I can also reccommend Necrobarista- the last pour 💜 The graphics are really pretty and I loved the cafe setting and characters

  • @tinahoefs1455
    @tinahoefs1455 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I just finished mineko's night market unexpectedly but am glad I can keep playing after the credits to finish up a few things. I've been playing my xbox one gamepass lately trying to get all of the monthly rewards.

    I need to get myself into more games. I just play for 10 min at a time. Not like where i usually go for a couple of hours.

  • @heatherclark2701
    @heatherclark2701 Před 5 měsíci

    I got Monster Hunters Rise after a friend recommended it. I think I'll try it out soon like you did baulders gate 3! Also you might like genshin impact, it's a beautiful open world game

  • @bear3s
    @bear3s Před 3 měsíci

    I bought Palworld yesterday and it runs sooo badly in my pc, it's not very well optimized yet, so I asked for a refund. I have a total of R$80 to spend on games in my wallet since Steam wouldn't refund my credit card... And this is so weird, but for the first time I feel like there's no game I want.
    I am addicted to buying games, have around 160 on my account and 380+ on my whishing list. And yet I feel like there's no more games I want... Definitely a burnout coming in my way 😢

    Can you guys recommend me somenon-farming games i can play while listening to an audiobook and it doesn't require concentration much

    I really like your soft voice but for my taste the intro with 5-7 minutes (including ad) is too long. Maybe your videos would get longer watching times if you'd shortened this up?
