I’m personally tired of how everything worth doing is already mobbed by others.
I blame the death of video games and media during and post Covid. The games and movie and TV industries are shells of their former selves, and are actively in decline right now. Why should I stay home to replay games from the 2010s (since nothing in 2024 is worth playing) when I can simply be part of the problem by going to the national parks or hot springs every weekend?
Plus, we all know that most people who are on the fence tend to regret introverted activities since they are “nerdy” and the opposite of glamorous. Going out to a national park is a chad move, staying home and doing introverted stuff literally keeps you a virgin (and this bears out in sociological data)
Murders on the Yangtze River, Animal Well, Nine Sols, Snufkin, Chants of Sennaar, Slay the Princess... I could go on for a while. How are there no games to play? Those are all recent and fantastic.
