I feel inspired by your comment. I have gone through burn out, found unable to satisfy myself with gaming as I used to, and I am called to the wild and real work with my hands, that for the time being I am completely unable to indulge in. I am working on getting there, but for now I stare at my Steam account after work to decompress, unexcited by anything, bored to the gills, while deep in my heart all I want is to go mountain biking with a dog, carving wood, fixing a house and reading philosophy under a tree. I am still a few months away from being able to do all that, and it’s excruciating.

Sounds like you're close, well done! I can relate to no longer being fulfilled gaming. Satisfaction feels a lot more elusive for me these days, and gaming presents it so easily. I think that's why it's way harder now for me to be satisfied with slow burn hobbies.
