This. I was born in early 80s too and I lost a lot of previous passions.
I was very into gaming back in the 90s/early 2000s, nowadays I rarely play them. I thought I am more into older games but 200+ games sitting on GoG convinced me otherwise. Games are really boring comparing to real world.
I think the only things that can surprise me is a hot WW3 or a 1929 style depression. I have seen the rest.
A 1929 depression wouldn't even surprise me, to me it's a question of when. Plus people are so much more unruly now that I think people would be rioting on a scale that was previously unprecedented.
A nuke going off I don't even see as an impossibility.
Same here on games though. I thought my adult years would just be me playing all the great games. But as an adult they are much less interesting. That's what makes being young such a vulnerable time. You don't know that you are going to dramatically change once you become and adult. But generally you will.
