Tales of an aging gamer: Why don’t I pick up a controller as often as I used to?

The mindless thing is pretty important. My former self would have cringed at the amount of casual games and cheapo e comics that pass my tired eyes.

Also, especially while sick, a strange attraction to slightly tense reflex games somehow keeps unwinding the mind.
