Recently, I just can't just watch youtube videos on 1.0x speed, I go as fast as 1.5, sometime 1.75 or 2.0. I skim all the articles i read. And I just skim anything said by npcs in video games. I used to be able to take it slow and enjoy the details in games, now I kinda go like ugh, boring... next thing please

I played BOTW and TOTK then I can't finish TOTK anymore. Like its not bad, just feels tedious after playing for a while (barely been 2 months)

Is this a thing? Getting older = less patience? (I'm not even old lol, still only a young adult)

I mean youtube videos ahve that issue with getting to the point. I don't even pay attention till ten minutes in. Articles can be the same so have to skim to find the main point or significant details. There are plenty of games I play and never get back to. All depends on how fun im finding it. Even the best I tend to take a break from and come back till I complete it. Yeah some of it is our modern multi task bs existence but a lot of it is the modern bs ways videos and articles are made.
