Does your favorite meal taste good or is your brain tricking you into thinking as such?

Depends, do you trust that same brain to allow you to reach the answer you seek?

Every time you've ever had fun, it was just your brain tricking you into thinking you were having fun. There is no such thing as "fun".

Have you heard about how younger men are developing erectile dysfunction from watching porn too often?
You did the same thing to yourself by playing video games too often

I feel like you accidently asked a deep, philosophical question that I don't feel like answering.

your brain and who you are are the same exact person. unless you have one of those fucking retarded personality disorders, there is no tricking
For a small stint I had the problem of looking at games from a very reductionist viewpoint of keys and locks.
I eventually asked myself if there are more enjoyable activities I could be doing and realized that there were not.
Preferring to play games where I could invent my own keys and doors.
Self-imposed achievements really.
Testing the limits.
Trying for absurd permutations.
