That sounds terrible for you.

I'm a greybeard who wears socks-n-crocs, I have lan parties all the time in my house, and sometimes I nap in the afternoon so I can hack at odd hours. I think you should do what brings you joy. Maybe not all the time, because taxes and your health are important too, but at least some of the time.

Some things aren't as good, but many things are, and at least some of those things are better.

Maybe not for you though? Everyone gets old, so of course, on the whole, at some point things for you are going to look worse than they used to be, but guess what: you're also going to die, so if you think the whole point of your life is about you, all you'll ever see is decline, so I think the best move is to think the whole point of your life is about something else, that way you can see things getting better and become a part of that.

Maybe you will discover life is about the community we're a part of and you need to get to a lan party: Some of those middle-schoolers might have fun playing games with their parents too.

The infinite is great.
