There are more games at any standard than one's lifetime to play them in.

Nonsense.

Even if you take an old established media, like literature, you can trivially read all the classics by the time you are 30.

Saying that about gaming industry, which is barely 50 year old, is a joke.

One can only say that when they no idea what "high standards" actually means.

		Hey, I actually have "played all the classics" for some definition of the term. Some time ago I started playing all the games that to me felt worthwhile to play in roughly chronological order. I think the project is overall quite different than "reading all the classics" though - a lot of old games have aged pretty poorly so I can either skip them or abandon after giving them a fair shot. I'm currently roughly in the 2000-2010 era of games. (It's not pure chronological, because I tend to sort play order by console, then by series, then by year.)

Nothing meets my standards. Nothing.

No film, no music, no game.

There's good, but there is no truly magnificent to the level I burst into tears and see the face of God.

Come on people. Your standards are too low.

The solution to that is not to continue to seek consumption, but starting creation. Your consumption phase is done.

Producing things of value takes a lot of time and effort, you would be too busy to waste time lamenting about things outside of your control.

Listen to Bach, if that doesn’t work then your standards are not high but completely wrong.

Honestly sounds like you’re just depressed. I don’t even mean that in a mean way.
