I would like to play a video game, but nothing is hitting that dopamine itch

I think I am depressed or bored or something. I’d like to play a fresh RPG, but nothing springs to mind atm (generally don’t like medieval fantasy RPGs).

What you’re suffering is called burnout. You need to do something else for a while, possibly a long while. Switch to a different genre or even a new hobby. You need novelty, what you’re chasing is that thrill of experiencing something new. It wears off after a while. To experience novelty again, you need new experiences.

In their defense, they’re right (at least to me). Playing a ton of video games does make them a lot less fun in the short term, the struggle for me is finding something else to do rn
