Mine is video games. Like, I’ve sworn to myself that I was going to cling to that until at least 10 or 15 years while I still have the cognitive ability to play them. But it’s mid-30s and they say the 30s is generally where your love for video games go to die unless you’re in the industry or having some working part involving games.

I’m having a harder time picking up a controller and getting excited for any game. I know I’m isolated by choice which is part of the problem, but, I can’t even get that worked up for nostalgic games that I grew up with.

    Who says you stop playing video games in your 30s? I’ve never heard that and it’s not true. If you like games, the number of years you’ve been alive won’t change that. You also seem to be expecting some serious reduction in cognitive ability at an early age. Go and play Stray and Inside. I challenge you not to enjoy them.

      Totally! So videogames didn’t exist a 100 years ago, much less 10,000 years ago, the rules aren’t written yetand there is no evolutionary reason to think by 30s you can’t. Do whatever you want and challenge yourself often
