This is a really honest and self aware post. The way you described the gap between hours spent gaming and actual memories really hit home.
Cravings around this stage are normal, especially when gaming used to be your way to unwind. Noticing that it is nostalgia rather than real happiness is a big win. You are not running from life anymore, you are choosing what actually matters to you.
It sounds like you are at an important turning point, and you are handling it thoughtfully. Keep going, the empty space you feel now is where better things usually start.
