That was a great rant. It is getting harder to connect with people, online or irl for me. The games industry is going down the shitter based on it's current state unfortunately, and alot of what you said about that hits the nail on the head. There's the odd game or two that's worth it these days, but they're getting harder and harder to find. So mostly I turn my attention to classic games like you mentioned in your post. I hope things get better for you

And yeah video games haven't inspired excitement in me a lot either. Part of it is the shift in the video game landscape, but part of it is also not being able to kick back and just enjoy games for what they are. Ironically, I can't escape the fact that games are an avenue of escapism...so I can't enjoy them in the moment.
