I typically take long hiatuses in between periods of my life where I am in front of a PC with any regularity, so when I am in front of one I'm usually thrilled to be. That said, I think some of the novelty of video gaming has eroded over time, and modern games don't seem to be made with as much imagination and heart as they used to be -- still much fun to be had though . I think the 90s and early 2ks easily had the most impactful releases. The PS1 era and the years shortly following it were magical.
