First of all, Ben and Andrew, I listened to your latest podcast and for the record, I'm 38. With that said, I've been contemplating either completely quitting gaming or slowing it down. I've tried to quit before a few years ago but I was trying to do it cold turkey and that didn't last long. This time around, I'm taking a slower approach and I figured, since I'm the type of person that likes to be at the forefront of cutting edge gaming technology, I think that downgrading my PC, cancelling my Oculus Rift pre-order, etc. is a good way to start.
Why is the PC side getting punished? Well, because for me, it's the most expensive (hardware). I'm going to sell my two GTX 980 ti and stick my old 690 in my PC and game on a 1080P monitor. I plan to also sell my Dell Ultrawide.
As for my consoles, I'm going to keep them. Gonna continue on my current addiction that is Gears of War UE and The Division, occasionally play Live, 2K, etc. Like I said to a friend, this might take a while. Years even. But again, the process starts with PC downgrades.
What will I do with my extra time from gaming? Well, I'd like to get into reading, learning to play the guitar, and continue exercising more not just to look good/fit but just be overall, healhy.
What about you NLSC family? Have you ever thought of quitting or wondered if you'd game forever?
