I dunno, I see where they're coming from. Someone once asked me what it's like being me, and my off-the-cuff semi-joke response was "sometimes coding isn't fun and I have to play video games to have fun, and other times video games aren't fun and I have to code to have fun."

So there's definitely a tide-goes-in, tide-goes-out flow to this for some people. I've learned to embrace it. When coding makes the serotonin flow, I get a lot done. And when video games gets the job done, I experience a lot of new stories and ideas.

Right now we're in the video game part of the phase. Valheim. It got me good.

I am the same. I bought a PC and played video games for 1 month then I got bored. I just needed this to recharge. Now I am back on a company project and I have a very good flow. What worked for me is melatonin to get better sleep too.
