I’m in my late 30s now and over the past 6ish months, I have been gaming a lot less or I find myself gaming but not enjoying it.

I used to always have a game I wanted to play or revisit, but it seems that nothing is really catching my interest.

I’m mostly a retro gamer so I was always happy to revisit old titles. But now I get bored of them quickly.

This can be a depression indicator, for me at least.

I don't have any good advice for what to do with that info, but I hope it's not that for you.

If you're mega stressed and you lose your primary stress relief that can be rough.

Absolutely a depression indicator.

Post-election, my wife and I are going hard on co-op games again. We are not feeling so great.

But prior to that, we were casually gaming, maybe 1-2 hours a day at most.

If I'm not mistaken, the depression indicator is gaming less, not more, when gaming regularly is your hobby.
