I suggest you try to do some research - working on things that are still unsolved. Personally i work on a self balancing ragdoll as a toy project and i enjoy this a lot. It's exciting and motivating. After i made some progress i get back to the boring stuff.

I do this as well, i create physical simulations like fluid dynamics to preserve my knowledge about math - which i forget when i dont use it for many months. And sure i enjoy this as well, but only for a short amount of time.

I can't relate because I'm constantly developing stuff to create games and coming up with new ideas for games in my sleep so I think it will be quite a while before I get tired of games. When I was younger I had ideas for games too but didn't have the skill nor the discipline to make them. Also had much less motivation to learn new stuff in programming so the fact that I can now turn these ideas into reality is cool. Also technology is evolving so I will likely stay gaming for a while. Already been doing it for 15 years and have only become more interested. Also games and programming have been the only interest that I have not "grown out" of.

For me it's more like I've grown out of having tons of free time for games. I recently started making videos for my YouTube channel (about video game design), and between work, learning to make decent videos, and actually making videos, I haven't played anything just for fun for a while. It's to the point where starting an RPG worries me, because I hate being on a game for months, but there's no way around it. 

I can certainly relate to that.   I still play games, but sometimes I wonder if I'm only playing them because I enjoyed a previous entry when I was younger.

Agreed on the time required for an RPG!  Friends have chewed me out for not finishing Mass Effect 2, but honestly feel like its too demanding in terms of time and concentration.  I joke about being stuck trying to swoon Kelly on the bridge - "no matter what I say or do I just can't get anywhere with her!".  Its usually met with "Just play the ****ing game, you GOON!" 

Ah, Panzer Dragoon.  Now there is a very swanky game! 

They made another game called Crimson Dragon for the XBox One.  Never got round to playing it, but its considered a spiritual successor.

Dude just switch it up! Play the games you never played before see if you can get interested in them. Choose your games better I like to scan reviews first dont be fooled by the trailers!
