And This Is How I Quit Gaming

After a life of gaming as my favorite past time, I quit for good.

Here’s how and why.

For a long time, this was an afternoon well spent for me.

Life of gaming

I was a gamer since I was seven years old. Back in the day I got started with a C64 by commodore. I saw one of those at the house of a family friend and was immediately hooked, when I was just six years old. A year later, it was my birthday gift and I officially was a nerd.

The graphics and sound effects, compared to today’s standards, were slightly above Gameboy levels of polish and clarity. They were garbage, really. But back in the day, lacking the comparison and not knowing any better, it just felt as “high tech” as an iMac Pro does today.

I did enjoy my life as a gamer tremendously and I owned many systems, including:

• Commodore C64
• Nintendo SNES
• Nintendo 64
• Nintendo Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance
• Sega Game Gear
• Nintendo Gamecube
• Nintendo Wii
• several gaming PCs
• several gaming notebooks
• Microsoft Xbox and Xbox 360
• Sony Playstation 3 and 4
• Nintendo Switch
