    I’m the same way.

    Put on a movie and I’m asleep before the first scene is done.

    I’m a tinkerer, need something to do with my hands and keep my mind occupied or I lose all interest. Video games often fill that but don’t feel useful in any way. They aren’t even a distraction from my real life, they’re just something to do I guess. Which isn’t what I like to do I guess

      For me, video games have always been about “accomplishment,” which is why I don’t think I was ever into the battle royales and that ilk. Do it, win game, repeat. I liked games that you built up to stuff, longer, more difficult levels, that sort of thing. I also enjoyed racing cars in Forza, but that was almost a workout, squeezing the controller, it would get my heart racing. Platformers like Celeste did the same.

      I used to enjoy sitting down and playing some shoot em ups with my buddies, but it was more social hour than the game.
