Same. I can't even be in the same room anymore. Somehow made gaming there feel like a chore as well...

So bored of games, that I'll go work on some other stuff (home servers) and just taking care of day to day life stuff. Maybe I'm just growing up, but I never thought I'd be bored of games... Ever...

I still prefer working remotely though!

I solve this by putting an Xbox downstairs and only playing games where short sessions are possible (rocket league, racing, indie games). I'd love for them to port WoW so I could grind/level up on the Xbox and go to the PC for raids though realistically even like that I probably still don't have enough time anymore.

Yeah, I've noticed I do feel more at ease on my living room now. But the only console I own is a Nintendo switch and I games that aren't multiplayer bore me faster, and switch's multiplayer games don't really speak to me too much...

Well you could in theory, use XPadder or something like that to play with a remote controller on PC. It's not ideal by any means though...

With that + steam streaming to the TV App (just add the game as non steam) you could play WoW. Not anything competitive though lol. Just questing simple stuff or easier dungeon content.

Home servers are a hobby for me as well. It's a better hobby than gaming, is what got me into my current career.

But yeah kid me would be somewhat disappointed in adult me losing all interest in gaming...
