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.

Such a claim is baseless. Video games have been evolving every few years for their entire existence. Such a claim sounds as ridiculous as someone in the 60s saying that people grow out of watching animated shows in their teens.

Either your priorities have just shifted, or you might be in a bubble where you only see the same old games that have already been done, so nothing piques your interest.
