Just watched this 5 minute video:
“Why Aren’t Games Fun Anymore?” by Jackus
And it pretty clearly lays out the Hedonic treadmill and describes depression and alienation under capitalism, even calling out the companies who are just churning out games for profit. But then he blames the games and says he doesn’t enjoy them anymore because they’re not as good.
Is that the point and I’m just taking it at face value when I shouldn’t be? It’s just super sad for someone to basically express the experience of becoming an adult under capitalism, but then completely externalize the cause.

Yeah at one point he complains about only being able to play for an hour. Playing a videogame for an hour sounds extravagant to me

yeah, I have been tired of hearing 20-somethings complain of "feeling old" since before I was in my 20's myself... honestly can't relate
