Just kinda popped into my head earlier

-I have always liked moe slice of life kinda anime and now 90% of the anime getting made is soulless wannabe KyoAni variations on that theme (at least it seems like it to me)
-I love idle games and CCGs but now that's about the only two things on Kongregate and few of them bring anything new to the table
-I feel like deckbuilding is in the process of becoming this

to a lesser extent maybe marvel and star wars

Like, I still like those things but geeze chill there's other good stuff out there to be made

This leads me to believe that you rarely venture out from your comfort zone as a lot of good stuff is constantly being made in film, video games, and board games (you also mentioned anime and deckbuilding, but I have limited experience with the former and I thought deckbuilding had to do with CCGs). You can develop more eclectic tastes if you broaden your horizons and keep an open mind while doing so. This could also prevent the burnout that you are experiencing from the stuff you love already.

Escape rooms are a prime example of this phenomenon. They can still be fun, but the freshness is definitely gone.

I'm cool with "real" video games, I was just griping about flash/unity/whatever stuff mostly. Film if I'm being real I'm not that into in the first place I guess, and board games I'm not cranky YET I just see a lot of deckbuilders that don't live up to Dominion or even Ascension imo.

Anime though I feel like it's getting hard to leave my comfort zone even when I want to because my comfort zone ate the medium >_>

Kind of specific, but "worked shoots" in WWE. I swear John Cena (and others) have had almost the exact same feud like 6 or 7 times post-CM Punk. It was great when the "reality era" started but has grown so, so stale now.

Reality tv shows. I was never an enormous fan but they were an interesting twist at first before they became 60% of the tv schedule. stuff like survivor, batchelor, big brother are so overdone by this point.
I feel like Pokemon is heading this way too. Like seriously it's ok to take a break and actually make great new pokemon if it takes a few years longer.
Comic book tv shows.

I really have lost a lot of my interest in sports these last few years.

I'm sad about it to because it was such a big thing for me for so long. I used to watch sports center every morning, listen to sports radio on the way to work, etc

Now I get more enjoyment watching random games of rugby, curling, lacrosse, other sports I dont see often.

Trains
Thunderstone
Nightfall
Core Worlds
Star Realms
Mystic Vale
Into the Echoside

All great deckbuilders my group enjoys, with widely different takes on the genre. I would rate them all at least on par with Dominion.
