I feel like I've started to enjoy yume nikki less. Don't get me wrong, it's still by far my favourite game, but it just doesn't feel the same. It's so hard to describe. There was a feeling in my chest when I listened to the music that plays in the barracks settlement, or perhaps the ending theme, that just isn't there anymore. It was a feeling of being perfectly lonely, of wanting to walk among the trees, of wanting to draw the figures that swam before my eyes. It's just not there anymore. Who knows. Maybe it's a by-product of the internet and my interactions with it becoming more jaded and cynical as time wears on. Does anybody else feel the same?

Times change, and we change along with them. YN was the backdrop to a very specific period of my life that simply isn't anymore. I still love it, but other stuff came to fill its place.

With Y2K it was a bit easier because the onslaught of low efford parallax bg updates slowly killed all that I loved about it, was easier to let go.

It's funny for me: I went from loving 2kki and yn to being full disillusioned like you guys, but now I went back to liking it again

2kki still has the occasional welcome surprise here and there, like the 825 worlds

And the classic worlds do it for me again, it's great

Even western authors are on point sometimes

No, this isn't it. I feel the same way about them as I always have, but the physical sensation that they bring over me just isn't there any more.

I think we just grow numb to stimulus over time, you won't have those tingles forever

Would you say you have that lack of enjoyment with other things as well?

For me, 2023 was a sort of a magical year in this regard, everything was interesting, emotionally involving and worth pursuing. I especially remember playing the Deltarune demo for the first time, and it was one of the most enjoyable games I played in a long time, it was almost scary how the game pulled me in. 2024 had some good moments too. But this year, it's like nothing gets me going anymore, everything seems predictable and lacking nuance.

I was wondering if this numbness might be a global phenomenon somehow.
