There was a time when I loved playing JRPGs, which can become a mindless grind if you're trying to maximize a character for fun.

I still like them, but on an emulator, with cheats for easy experience or money. I enjoy the story without the grind, and although I lost the perseverance and endurance I had then, I don't think I'll ever have the time (or the patience) to play them properly again.

You lost something to gain something else.
