That statement might've been true a few years ago but it definitely isn't now with all the dad games everywhere. Hell even Guardians of the Galaxy is a dad game.
And yeah I know I'm still like 'officially' young but tbh I do feel old in many ways, cause I don't take good enough care of myself. Like I haven't done regular physical exercise since high school, I don't eat well, I just sit in a chair all day so my body just feels like shit all the time. I certainly don't feel young but really that's on me.
I don't think I ever had any problems mentally, until my physical health started getting worse. From then on it's definitely been harder to find happiness or motivation for things in general. But I wouldn't say I'm severely depressed, maybe a little bit but generally I'm fine. It's not like I don't enjoy anything that I used to, I still went to the cinema 10 times in the past couple months (to see a whopping 2 different films!), and I've been constantly thinking about games I dream would get made someday. I'm still excited for at least a couple upcoming games in Silksong and Metroid Prime 4. But generally gaming hasn't done it for me, and yeah it's obviously a case of me wanting new storytelling experiences, rather than only new gameplay experiences.
