The best part of video games back in the day was making memories with your friends, now it all feels like structured fun. “This is how you play the game and this is when you are supposed to have fun” Idk if that makes sense.

  • It can also be natural shifts in what you enjoy. I know that I mostly enjoyed very large time investment games in high school. But now any game that has elements of ‘and then go grind this for 5-10 hours’ is a no go. But my brain only remembers the fun I used to have with these, so I end up unhappy after I’ve bought a grindy game and not understanding why.
