I can remember playing super mario bros (the OG one) on my console when i was a wee lad since then playing games never gave me any joy and felt like i was wasting time for nothing .
Edit : For clarification i do enjoy other mediums such as tv, movie, books and enjoy working out etc. its just gaming that i am burned out of .
I lost interest when life became more interesting. I earn a decent living now, but the games I play are around tech and society. Feels less like I’m throwing my time away.
