Taking a break can be the best thing you ever do for gaming. I’ve noticed the times I step away—whether it’s a summer without good internet or just choosing other hobbies for a while—I always come back enjoying games more. In this episode of Intentional Gaming I’m talking about how breaks reset your excitement, help you figure out what you actually miss, and remind you that gaming is just one part of life. If you’re feeling burnt out or stuck in a loop, maybe it’s time to step back for a bit. This whole series is built around the Feelings Test, so if you haven’t seen episode one go check it out first. #gaming #gamingvideos
