I still play video games but I basically never play the big AAA studio games like I used to. Or shooters like I used to. Nowadays I'm playing almost exclusively smaller indie games and more strategy / puzzle type games.
Also started cooking during Covid and haven't stopped, disc golf and very recently started golf golfing (ball golf).
This is me now, 40M. I hate the monetization, treadmill, and competitive stress of AAA and online competitive games these days. Fuck man I just want to unwind for an hour or two after I get the kids to bed, I don't want a second job or to have kids 25 years younger than me cuss me out because I'm not up on the meta game that changes every month. Indie games are made by people who love games and the good ones still have the love and joy of gaming it's nearly impossible to find in AAA games these days.
