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.

I know I play video games much less now, but it is not because of the lack of interest, just time and energy.

Always hesitated to start playing when all I can think about are my responsibilities. The one time I tried playing the new Stardew Valley-like game, I Loved it but also not, because it was suddenly 3 AM on Monday 🥲

If I suddenly have 1 million in my bank account, I'm sure I'll find my passion for video games back hah

There are many games that I still can't wait to play and I'm in my mid 30s too. Then again, I care more about story and characters than (fast-paced) gameplay so maybe that's why?

The sad reality of adulthood. It's so hard to get properly immersed in a good story unless you have several straight hours to spare, and those are hard to come by.
