Well folks I've nuked all of my characters on GW2, ESO, and WoW so that means that I'm pretty much done with MMOs for like the rest of my life. I wanted to ensure that I had zero temptation to get back into those games and so I took some drastic steps.
I ended up purchasing a Playstation 4 console about a month ago (only like 6 years after it came out LOL) and have been enjoying the hell out of games like Witcher 3 and Horizon: Zero Dawn to name a few. It's quite an adjustment going from mouse and keyboard to a gamepad, but I'm getting used to it slowly but surely.
If you want to add me as a friend on PSN, my id is gurnathron. It's Sindarin for heart weaver
All the best!
James
Oh and thanks to @Azilori and @Elisel for the belated birthday wishes! Turning 50 was a whole different experience LOL

One of the things that bothers me a bit about Witcher 3 (and I had a similar beef with FFXIV too) is that I have no idea where to go in order to level up so I can keep upgrading my skills. There's no particular zones for a particular level and I'm gotten my butt handed to me numerous times because I end up fighting something many levels above me. I guess I'll have to break down and look at a wiki or something.
Oh and if you've tried to add me on PSN I made it so people can actually find me and add me now LOL. OOPSIES! Not sure how my settings got so restrictive but I'm out in the open now so feel free to add me to your friends list.

I'd been hearing a lot of good things about Warframe lately and decided to give it a whirl. Definitely a good game from what I have seen so far, which really isn't much. Never played it before but the graphics are really nice and the story seems okay. Hopefully, it will get better as it goes along. It reminds me a lot of Unreal Tournament, but that's probably because Digital Extremes made both games. I can see why UT4 isn't leaving alpha anytime soon.
Also, I finally decided to whip out my copy of Destiny 2 and play that for the first time ever. Yup, you read right. Never. Played. Before. Go ahead, read it again. The opening sequence is really epic and I enjoyed a lot of the skirmishes. The story appears to be a lot better than Warframe at first glance, but we'll see if that lasts.
I really don't have any idea how long I'll be playing these games. It could be a short-time distraction or it could turn into a dangerous obsession. Maybe I just got really tired of the whole fantasy sword and sorcery stuff. Heck, I started playing D&D when I was 8 and I read every fantasy novel I could get my hands on when I was a kid. I haven't dabbled in sci-fi much because there isn't a whole lot out there as far as games go. I did the EVE Online thing years ago and enjoyed it quite a bit. Went back recently to see how things have changed and I gotta say there's a lot of great improvements that have been made over the last several years. It should be good to see where they go from there.

I feel your pain, my friend. I've got so many games from so many places and I'm pretty sure that most of them are going to sue me for neglect
I guess I just got to the point where I was tired of all the games I had and needed something new. While Destiny 2 is not exactly "new," it's something fresh and different and exciting.
There is a Destiny 2 interest group here but it's apparently closed

I enjoyed Destiny so much I didn't go to sleep until 3AM
I also went and purchased the whole Complete Collection, which is (thankfully) on sale for $40 from Blizzard.
I'm also getting ready to join a clan soon so I can have other people to play with.
Let me know if you pick it up, I'll get you into the clan.
Jury is still out on Warframe. I like the setting but switching weapons is taking some getting used to. Hopefully gets easier the more I play it. But I may just drop it and focus on Destiny 2.

FYI I'm done with gaming folks
Not just the games that RoH is involved in
All games in general
I'm just not interested anymore
If I'm going to spend $15 a month on something entertaining
I can always spend it on Crunchyroll and Funimation
I'm not leaving RoH
I'm not going on LoA
I'm still going to be here
I'm just taking on more of a backstage role
Feel free to reach out if you want to say hi
I'll still be around
Peace

It's all good, I had a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of great people in DC. I'm just done trying to get anywhere in ESO or GW2. I thought about going to WoW or SWTOR but honestly I just need to stop gaming and do something that's going to provide me with more entertainment than frustration.
Like I said, I'll still be around. I may even pop into Discord from time to time.

I know I haven't been gaming too much recently but it's because I've been watching quite a few movies over the last few days. I find that they're a perfect fit for my ADD because they have a definite beginning and end. I love stories, and I love watching how great movies put so many different things together to make it feel like you're part of it.

Well I started with The Matrix, then moved on to Pan's Labyrinth, and then ended up with Shaun of the Dead. Still looking for other movies to watch so if you have any suggestions I'm all ears

I hate having ADD. I'm just so inconsistent and it's driving me crazy. One minute I'm all like GO GO GO and the next I'm like ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I get bored super duper easy. I have lots of different interests but very little time to pursue them. I change things up at the drop of a hat.

@Ezoura I've looked into Adderall before and my opinion of it hasn't changed: I'd rather not get addicted to a controlled substance. I know for a fact that I have an addictive personality and it's so easy for me to get hooked on something. Went through kidney stone surgery 3 years ago and refused to take the Vicodin they were giving me. I'm definitely looking at other options and I hope that I'll be able to get started with something soon.
@BobNapalm It's something that I have been looking into ever since last year when my doctor diagnosed me and it's been pretty eye-opening. It's great to know that I have it because I was always wondering what it was that made me so inattentive and be like a space cadet. I'm part of the ADHD subreddit and that gives me a really good perspective on how other people are dealing with the same issues.

I'd love to, but it's super difficult to get an appointment with a psychiatrist so I can get diagnosed properly. Incidentally, what medication are you taking?

Finally got into Path of Exile, after having played the game off and on since it first came out over 5 years ago. I decided that it was time to dig deep into the game and to learn as much as I could while playing the newest Challenge League. I'm having a great time with the game and ended up joining a guild just so that I can play with other people and hopefully learn from them.
There's a lot of good beginner guides for PoE if you're interested in getting started with it, but there's no substitute for playing the game and learning from your mistakes. I figure it's going to take me at least the entirety of this League to get a handle on the basics and maybe be able to get into a competitive build so that I can run endgame maps.

Cool! I just found the forum post that explains the build, so I'll be looking into it further, if only to further my knowledge of the game and associated mechanics. I will say one thing: this game does offer a ton of variety with regards to builds and I think that's one of the key things that attracted me to it. I also like that they have different leagues starting every quarter, so there's a good opportunity to try different mechanics and classes.

I'm taking a breather from GW2 and ESO for a few days. I've been playing ESO quite a bit lately, to the detriment of everything else in my life. My depression comes and goes and never seems to have any type of pattern. I'm still going to check in from time to time, maybe run some dungeons or take part in some events, just not to the point where everything else suffers. Feel free to message, email, and chat with me because I'll still be around, just in a more reduced capacity.

Thanks, everyone for your support and understanding! I've been dealing with depression since I was sixteen. I'll be fifty in August (
) so I'm pretty well used to it and what it does to me. It's never predictable and I'm always trying to keep my chin up. I'm actually doing a lot better since my doctor weaned me off of my antidepressant, but it still takes a lot of mental energy to keep this wall up and around me. I won't be gone for long, but I feel that it's better for me in the long run

Took these screenies last night while exploring Auridon, specifically the areas west of the Lluvamir Dolmen. I love how beautiful this game is!

I’m glad you enjoyed looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them
