“ human civilization will achieve a steady-state economy one way or another. Either we will plan for it and execute a plan that takes us as a global society on average down to a fraction of what we consume today. Or, nature will take its course and we will collapse down to a steady-state level of consumption”
BTD6?
That game is so addicting...
This isn't unique to video games*. It can happen with anything that you spend a ton of time on, and either burn out on or start to develop more refined taste in. I've had it happen with:
- novels
- board games
- movies
- people
You start to see patterns, tropes, or just plain get burnt out on something. It's a sign you either need to take a break, or that your tastes have simply become refined enough that you require a higher bar to find something interesting.
I'm in my 40s and definitely don't play games as much as I used to. But there are still times I get sucked in and have a great time. Most recent example: Cosmoteer, a spaceship building game with loads of freedom and creativity. I'm also looking forward to the Factorio DLC and the Dyson Sphere Program combat update.
Edit: case in point that I can still get excited about games: I finally tried Shadows of Doubt and, wow, what an interesting game. It's like a Deus Ex shadowy sneak-around world with detailed voxel simulation.

I celebrated my 5th anniversary of being vegan yesterday. I didn’t originally start doing it for climate reasons, but I know the meat and dairy industries are huge sources of pollution so I’m glad I’m on it.
Hopefully one of the DLCs adds land vehicles 🤞🏻
I'm so glad this community exists
I've had this same thought, OP. Lately I've been extra thankful for fresh fruits and veggies, because I'm sure a lot of crops are going to have a hard time going forward -- already have in some cases.
For those looking for a reference like I was:

I haven't played or run it; however, I've been watching videos on it and reading the free quickstart.
After more reflection, I probably won't be using it. It's very much in the OSR vein, and I am finding I'm getting tired of the medieval fantasy tropes. I'm mostly looking into Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition right now.
That’s a paddlin’
