Exactly. Nowadays those feelings are lost. It's colder, a more isolated activity. I used to play computer games back then and still we played football/soccer outside, nearly everyday after school, either on the streets or the park. Now, we barely see kids outside playing anything, skating or riding bicycles, they are all inside "playing PlayStation" (it's funny because those older who don't know any better say "playing PlayStation" instead of "playing console", because they don't know more than that).

I forgot to mention that I used to draw maps of games and send them to a popular newspaper that used to have a video games section. I was extremely popular in that regard (they even made a Sensible Soccer contest and mentioned me on stage :D ), and it took a lot of work, but it was fun. Those were the only sources for maps and cheats back then.

I don't like difficult games as in Dark Souls or Cuphead. I want to experience an adventure, not to lose and replay 20 times the same section over and over again. For me, videogames aren't a sport, they are an escape and a fun distraction. Give me a Life is Strange or an Inside over Dark Souls anytime.
