You seem to have the will and the ability to live a real life. Don't squander that. Gaming is for the hopeless.

I've been putting a lot of effort into living a "normie" life, working out, school, work, friends, being social, but I really don't want to just give up on games, as they've done so much for me in the past.

Who gives a fuck if you're being productive sometimes. It's okay to have lazy days. Don't work yourself death faggot

I used to feel that all the time.
Then I started doing productive things.
I was never bothered by that feeling again!

I only get this when I replay a game, it kinda sucks cause all I think about when playing is "I could be playing something new"

Seems reasonable, LOL. But nah, I do my fair share of productive shit, but whenever I try to delve deep into a complex game, like Tekken, or Civ, I feel disappointed because all the effort required to learn the game would have an impact on my normal life.

put the energy into a creative skill. This is a waste.

Do what makes you happy

This. I'm the type of person who'd rather watch somebody play a game, than play it myself. Strange, but I guess that's just how we change.

I've actually put a lot of effort into music production, art, stretching, and fitness. It just feels like video games fill a certain gap that can't be filled by other things, but playing video games themselves creates an even bigger gap in other aspects of life. Strange. I'm kind of just ranting at this point.
