If you're over the age of 25, I have news for you that could help you make sense of your confusing feelings for games. Video games weren't made for you. We aren't the audience. Even pretentious art games like Disco Visualnovel were made for children, not for grown ups like your selves. We've already played the archetypal, genre-defining games of our childhoods, and if you missed them then, there's no going back. We can't experience what its like to play a new game. All this decline is simply you getting older and the world leaving you behind. Bacchus says you're ugly and he only dances with the young.

So, you're telling me my students should be better Dominions players than I am, right?

Yes. About 25 is when you know you're getting too old for games, but you have become addicted. By 30 you either break free of the gayms, or you embrace the manbaby life and cope.
Yeah I've certainly aged out of what's most popular these days, but there are still new games coming out that appeal to me.

I've been enjoying Cultic and Warhammer 40K Boltgun recently. I've never had an interest in classic FPS games before, so it's come as a surprise to me just how good these games are. There are quality experiences to be had, you just have to ignore the AAA nonsense.
