I can remember playing super mario bros (the OG one) on my console when i was a wee lad since then playing games never gave me any joy and felt like i was wasting time for nothing .

Edit : For clarification i do enjoy other mediums such as tv, movie, books and enjoy working out etc. its just gaming that i am burned out of .

I just lost interest. I used to play PUBG Mobile for example, but now it's basically transitioning into Fortnite-style game instead of something more realistic. I used to play CODM, but there's so much paywalled crap to click through that it became less fun.

And also, they kept getting larger, and larger. I think CODM may now be taking some 30-40GB. That's a lot for a mobile game. I'll rather use the storage for something else.

For example, a few days ago I installed and set up a Navidrome server on my phone in Termux. Navidrome can't do folder-based categorizing, so I had to play around with the actual metadata to achieve what I want, but I also didn't want to alter the original files. So now I have duplicate music which means extra 19GB. That's still less than even just CODM. And I have more fun with stuff like this.

If I did have the extra storage... I'd use it for Wikipedia maxi package (110GB) and install kiwix-tools in termux to serve it.
I really wish 1TB MicroSD cards were cheaper.

Edit: Perhaps I could just delete the 110GB of DVD ISO files that I used exactly 0 times. Or just get at least a 512GB memory card instead of current 256GB. Yeah, probably that. I hate deleting files. But this can't go on forever...
