“I’m a big gamer and book reader, and one of the worst for me is that there’s a lot less sense of wonder and discovery to be felt. The past few years have been especially rough, but the older you get and the more you experience, the less new experiences there are. You eventually settle on which one is the best or your favorite, and there’s little to no incentive to venture outside of that because you already know exactly what it’s going to be like. MOST things are egregiously formulaic, and once you recognize the formula, you can never turn off knowing what it is and how everything follows it. Few things are ever a surprise, or unpredictable, or mentally challenging.”
