That happened to me from around 2003 to 2008. Games became too repetitive and uninteresting. I got back into them for a while but it wasn't until Dark Souls that I truly rekindled (sorry for the pun) my love of what games could be.
That was a game that perfectly recaptured my imagination and made it feel like I was a kid in the 1980s playing the original Legend of Zelda again. It was everything the modern Zelda games, which have always been my favorite series, had forgot about. I think Zelda regained its footing with Breath of the Wild which I thought was fantastic, but Dark Souls taught me that there is still great games out there if you look around. I started getting more and more into smaller, independently developed games and although I might not have as much free time, I love to discover new games that aren't just bog-standard shooters or annoying multiplayer games or AAA produced dribble.
I agree. It's very nice to see them refund the hardware and software. I barely used Stadia, bought it more for the novelty and to test out it's tech, but I feel bad for the people heavily invested in it.
I have no love for that family. I don't wish any ill on them, but they are a relic of a bygone age that caused more harm than good.
The tourism angle that people use to justify their expenses doesn't really hold up either. Paris alone has just as many if not more tourists per year and they got rid of their royals a long time ago.
To be fair though I am not British, I'm Irish. So my perspective on that family is not the same as someone who was born and raised in the UK.
I really enjoy my Mk2 Star Labs laptop. Was a great intro to Linux for me. But I'm still not too fond of the glass trackpad. I wish they would change it in upcoming models.
