For me it's: I miss my youth and health, and I'd love to be able to go back just so I could have the time and energy to work on the things I'd like to work on now.

I am still making things, it's just more difficult now.

But video games are a hell of a lot better now than they were back then. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? The Witness? Life is Strange? Persona 5? So, so good. And there's nothing stopping me from playing the old games when I feel like it (except having the time).

Also I wouldn't mind having another replay of my high school and college years with the confidence that I have now. A lot of my experiences with women would have gone a lot more positively then if my attitude and approach then were the same as it is now (Well, in the past five years. I'm in a solid relationship now). I wouldn't want to replay the sitting around a classroom or schoolwork part of it though.
