Youth is wasted on the young.<p>I&#x27;ve loved video games since I was about 7. I&#x27;ve made a good living off of video games.<p>In my thirties, I never once thought &quot;Man, I wish I&#x27;d spent <i>more</i> time playing video games in my twenties.&quot;<p>Now, as I turn 40, I wonder how different my life would have been if I&#x27;d spent more time doing other things, instead of playing video games.<p>The process of aging is impossible to convey fully, but it&#x27;s fascinating to be on the other side, having lived the transition.
