I switch in between reading books and playing video games as my primary hobby. When I get bored with one, I take a break and do the other activity for a while.
Brilliant! I try to do this, but I have so many hobbies that I love. Cooking, reading, writing, biking, and playing games (board games with friends and video games). I’ve become obsessed with cooking as of late.
I do get sick of video games from time to time. Sometimes I’ll go back and replay one of my favorite games from my childhood to get nostalgic and remind myself why I love gaming so much. That usually helps.
More often than not I will only get tired of a game after I’ve played it extensively and feel burnt out. It’s not that I don’t dislike the game or hold anything against it, just that I need a change. Sometimes I return to games that are just simple and easy when I get tired of a game that demands the utmost of skills and attention and all times. Going back to a game like Thomas Was Alone, or Firewatch always seems to help me fall in love with games again and rekindle my desire to fully immerse myself in a great game. Another great way to feel motivated to play a game that may have fallen out of your favour is to research it and learn about it. Discovering all the effort that was put into a product can truly allow you to feel a better and deeper understanding of the product, plus you will appreciate all the intricacies of the game even more than before.

Exactly the same with me. Actually, in most cases a good book wins with a good game.

Sometimes! Switching up genres helps. I’m going to need to take a break from massive open world games soon I think, haha.

I burnt out every so often. Like others, I recharge the batteries by taking a break by focusing on other hobbies (such as watching anime.)
