I fear I'm getting old, /v/. Every time I try to replay

It's none of the above, you're bored and need another hobby to supplement videogames.

It's just a thing. From what I can tell it starts off with you replaying old content, when you get bored of that, you just want new content. After that, when there's no new content that you enjoy, you begin to create new stuff.

I'm stuck in the wanting new content phase as well. It's not so bad, just keep finding new stuff to entertain you, maybe try different stuff that you don't think you'll enjoy. Expand your taste.

You might find old stuff you really enjoy that you haven't played before.

Other hobbies also help as this dude said. >>382001112

Go back and play Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

If you can't have fun kicking the universe to death in the name of your Sauron daddy while an overly devoted succubus sings your praises and tells you how much she loves you, then you truly are a lost cause.

I can not have a ton of fun trying to climb up a pit with a million spiders in it

Yeah, boredom might be it. Maybe I really need a new hobby, even if just for a little while. It's a pity, there are so many old games I love and would like to replay, but every time I start them, my brain shuts off.

I'll try old games I never tried before and expand my taste, like >>382001162 suggested. This >>382001229 might work too.

Be honest and tell me what your off time looks like, you should have two or three things going on

>>382001635
University, mostly, but now that summer is here things are much slower. I don't have many friends, so I don't go out much.

>>382001821
Yeah man you gotta add other activities so your vidya time means something, rather than it being your default state when nothing else is happening

Clearly you aren't kicking hard enough.
Try kicking a little harder, but with more feeling.

What helps me avoid that feeling is cheating. Specifically speed hacking. Increasing the speed of a game can breathe a lot of life back into it because it allows you to mitigate a lot of the minutia and tedium. Old emulated games from the SNES/PS1 eras are possible to be played by me now because I'm no longer turned off by how slow the games naturally are. Games I overlooked or passed on when I was younger I can actually get through now. Granted I'm not immersed in the experience of it, but there's nothing that can bring me back to the mindset of when I was 10 years old and only had the one fucking game I rented that week to play.

Another thing I do is challenge runs of certain games. Limiting myself mechanically from using something useful or overpowered and force myself to get creative with how to complete a game.

You gotta find a way to make a game exciting for you. For me it's speed and a handicap. For you it could be anything.

I used to feel like this, and snapped out of it a few months ago. Usually happens when you're under pressure, can't relax and feel like you're on a time crunch. Hence why you keep playing new games.

You described it perfectly.

Your brain will come to terms with it eventually. Try to take it easy and relax, no matter what situation you're in unless you're in danger there's no need to panic.

I'm still exhausted. Old people always told me my youth was being wasted, but they never bothered to go into detail why.
