the worst period is when you're lurching from thing to thing that should be giving you some measure of happiness, and none of them are working for more than an hour or two. Everything just feels wrong. Eventually you just... give up and start f5ing. From there we reach the not getting out of bed stage etc...
I've written my own experience, but I suspect it's a collective one.
What do you do for fun, boomer?

So your soul dies when you become an adult? Makes sense I guess.
My interest in games has never been super high, but other than multiplayer, I have almost never considered games to be "fun". I don't get what people mean when they say "I just got ___ and I'm having a blast", as if they're smiling and laughing when they have to walk across the whole game's map to get an item or something. I usually can't be bothered to play games now unless the story is interesting. I'm playing Ocarina of Time at the moment and it feels like a step below work.

Does your situation improve?
Eventually you might start to notice the scripted and repetitive nature of videogames, so they become boring.
They still are to me but I only mostly care for games from the 3-6 gen. Some in 7th like Dark Souls. By last gen though gaming took a turn for the worse unfortunately. I am shuddering to think how bad next gen might be. Listening to the based Halo CE ost right now.
you're not doing anything productive user. that's why. plus when you're over-rewarded (for example masturbation), you're brain chemicals will be unbalanced. forgot which one but it's the one where your brain feels good or something. too much of it will make you feel numb and shit.
>it feels like a step below work.
This. some where along the way you just stop caring to get "into" something or to git gud.
It takes too much effort and the payoff is what? you don't get anything in return.
will you be playing game x in z years? probably not. so why put the effort in
also this, you have seen the same shit over and over and you start to see through the made up world that games are in and you see how its made. once you do this you lose magical aspect of gaming, not knowing what will happen if you do x. the sandbox ish type of feel
I mean technically yeah since I can just invest in bitcoin and become super rich.
I'd have the exact same life but I'd be rich, that's a big improvement compared to now where I'm poor and in debt.
Besides, money is the only thing I care about so I'd be happier as well.
