I been playing games since I guess 2000 and to be honest now that i'm 26 games dont give the same nostalgia like they use to. I wanted to 100% so many games but now I feel no motivation to do that anymore.

Are my interests changing? I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere so there's basically nothing to do here but my grandma is like" nah you complain too much" and im like " grandma we live in a dry ass where its hot as ♥♥♥♥, it never really snows and there's literally no mall or beach. How is anything in this town fun? " atleast its quiet here though.

I didn't say that to her but I always think it everytime, lol.

Video games are getting worse and you've already played the good ones.

Now you must develop a hobby of some sort, thing about hobbies is they have can have a small input cost. Maybe try drawing and that'll get the gears rolling on how you might like spending your free time?

It's not you, it's the publishers and the developers. They don't know how and/or don't want to create games with soul anymore.

The soul is what cured us of boredom.

maybe it's time for a change of scenery. small town america is not a place to be young, it is a place to stagnate and die.

Maybe you just need to switch off the internet and start growing some fruit and veg and maybe keep some chickens. You could get an ATV with a little trailer you can ride it into town and get all the things you need.

Start reading fiction.
Immerse yourself into that world example : Robert E Howard's Conan stories.
Make a project out of it, maps, characters give descriptions.
It would be a project that you put your mind to.

Can take other inspirations ie Fighting Fantasy books after playing them start world building Titan (the land many of the books are set) and who knows you may come up with your own style of game.
Your mind most likely needs something to focus on with bit of substance.

I think you said it yourself; you are boring yourself to hell from only playing video games. Get yourself a metal detector or a skateboard; gosh, do anything else to break the boring cycle of doing the same thing all the time.

Introduce some diverse hobbies into your life so that your free-time doesn't feel like an institutionalised ritual of habit rather than something that is pursued out of a need for fun.
