I've gotten into sailing, salsa dancing, mountain climbing and I realized that video games are stolen valor for men. They tap into the male psyche to get things we naturally crave: goals, leveling up, adventuring, learning skills, competition, risk. But it's not real risk. With video games getting more expensive I have even less incentive to keep dedicating them as a hobby. Still like them, but just don't play them with regularity. I still don't own a PS5 (I have an xbox series x though) and I'm not rushing to get one either. For Nintendo Switch 2, the sequel console to the system I bought for $300 to cost $450 to start out? Mario Kart World costs $90? Games may have jumped the shark. It might be time for a video game break again. I am not paying $80-90 for a game unless it's GTAVI.
DK looks incredible, though. I'll say that. But that $80? That's money that could go into buying a boat.
