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.

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
