    Back then I would play games for hours and hours to the point my parents would get angry at me. Now above my 18s I can not even play more than 50 minutes because for some reason everything quickly gets boring.

        I used to draw a lot back then. My loss of interest for games gradually made me go back to drawing and I am fine with it, it is nearly a decade I have not drawn until I decided to work on something yesterday on a paper. Did my first dedicated drawing yesterday and I am planning to do more in the next weeks 🙂.

        I still play games sometimes though (warframe, minecraft, worldox) but again just for a few minutes and rarely an hour or more.

        Hey, that wasn’t mean at all! I don’t believe you are a mean cow.

      What’s your relationship with social media, or cannabis? Do you scroll short form media? Do you post lots of comments on Lemmy/reddit?

      If none of those are an issue, then maybe you just got older.

        I do not use drugs. I do not scroll short form media because it irritates me too 😅. Social media use is occasional.

          That’s great! I assume your interests have just changed as you got older then! Or, the demands of adult life are pulling your attention.

      Maybe it’s just the type of games you play that you’ve lost interest in. Steam has lots of demos for games from just about every gaming genre, so maybe try out demos for highly rated games of genres you don’t normally play. You may end up surprising yourself. Maybe you do like cosy games, or real time strategy, or management simulations, etc, but because you’ve never tried them, you never realized that you like them.
