For years, I believed modern RPGs had lost their magic. That the golden age was behind us. That something about gaming had simply gotten worse.

But over time, I started to question that assumption.

In this video, I explore why RPGs might feel different today — and why the answer has less to do with declining game quality, and more to do with how we engage with them in a faster, louder, more distracted world.

We’ll talk about:

🎮 Why nostalgia hits so hard
🎮 The psychology of “taste freeze”
🎮 Awe, aging, and attention
🎮 Modern gaming’s length and density
🎮“Time confetti” and fractured focus
🎮 And how to reclaim the magic

RPGs haven’t necessarily lost their depth, ambition, or beauty. But the conditions under which we play them have changed — and so have we.

The magic isn’t gone. It just requires participation.

If you enjoy thoughtful RPG analysis, philosophy of gaming, and reflective discussions about modern game design, consider subscribing. The conversation continues.
