Anyway I wanted to ask you. Have you quit vidya? Were you addicted? What did you replace the time with? The problem is that I am often bored and resort to playing games, but much more often than that watching LPs.
I know it's not the ideal thing to do.
But don't you "grow out of them" at a certain point?
This extends to any interest or occupation that has hit mainstream "nerd" shit, like comics or cartoons or card games. There are many reasons for this, but the most prevalent reason is pussy. There are a lot of dweebs who think that they'll get laid or get some positive female attention from bending to the will of the shrieking cunts that have infested these hobbies, and since betas ruin everything, we find ourselves with a gaping mouthed, soy-laden hellscape of social rejects coming together and telling each other how cool they are. This creates a self-sustaining vortex of virtue signalling and fake outrage at shit people forget within a week or so, and all the while, nobody's getting a pity handy for their service, causing more frustration and lashing out.
True, but 30-40 years ago, most people just wanted to fucking enjoy themselves instead of subscribing to eternal victimhood at the hands of some imaginary foe. They also went out and did social shit instead of spending all of their time on the internet and generated their perceptions of the world based on actual people and not the loudest voices on twatter
At this point I can only enjoy games like red orchestra or hoi or total war.. or yeah, old games

I personally grew out of vidya, but there people like in OP's pic who don't. I still play them as a way of staying connected with my friends, but the absolute pure fun and suspension of belief that made them so magical is something I left behind with childhood. I can't enjoy them the same way anymore. To expand something I said earlier, being obsessed with something isn't necessarily bad. Being obsessed with consuming is degenerate, and that's what most gamers do. They suck up to cash cow franchises, and waste hours of their lives and their wallet space too. If the obsession is creative however, that's where the great things of history come from.

Video games have become gigantic time sinks. I miss games that had a tight story that you could complete over the weekend instead of open world bullshit.
Neither were those from the 90s.
The truth is that everything went to complete shit starting at the turn of the millenium and anyone who's old enough knows I'm right.
this is tight
