Anyone here hit their mid-30s and find it hard to get into video games anymore? Every time I try I get bored pretty quickly or feel guilty like I could be doing something more productive. It sucks because I used to like to game more and I've totally lost the ability to be into it.

@charlie_root I feel like this, gaming just feels like wasting time.
I think it's because consumption isn't really fulfilling, especially after a certain point in life
When you play a game, your just consuming a product
Same with watching movies and TV shows
if you want to seek a fulfilling passion, ask yourself:
What do you like doing that's not based around consumption?
Learn a language? Exercise your body to its peak? Learn how to draw?
Creating is more fulfilling than consuming
Nailed it on the head, exactly how I feel. And if I'm not creating I'd rather be learning. This also ties into my waning ability/desire to escape into fiction and fantasy, when the real world is so much more interesting.
