So I realized something about myself yesterday. I was having trouble with a game and I thought to myself "I have enough games to play, I have packing and stuff, work to do, site stuff to do, yada yada, maybe I'll just watch the rest of the game since I know how it plays and save some time."

Then it occurred to me, I have been playing the game for less than a week. LESS THAN A WEEK. I used to grind for a whole week and now I couldn't be bothered to grind for like a day. This wasn't just for this game, I've noticed this to be an ongoing pattern with new games I play. But if I play FFIX or VIII, or one of the games I played when I was younger, I spend much more time grinding and I don't even mind it. In fact, I enjoy it!

So was I really busy or was I making excuses for just being too lazy to grind anymore?

How about you? Have you lost patience for grinding in games or are you the same as ever?
