Why do our attention spans and imaginations decrease/change with age?

250 views

When I was younger, I’d boot up Jak II or III on my PS2 and be able to play through imagined scenarios for hours, day after day. If I lost interest, I could simply do it in another game. I’m sure most of us remember being able to play pretend games outside that were absolutely riveting. Flash forward 10-15 years and I’m no longer able to entertain myself for very long with things that have loads more possibilities than some PS2 platformers or my backyard. What changed? Can I get it back? I’m very bored.

I dunno. I’m almost 40 and will lose hours and hours to Rimworld. Maybe you just need some better entertainment.
