I'm roughly your age and I still play regularly, but how I play has changed quite a bit:

- I spend a lot less time playing than in years past.

- I play the whole spectrum of retro to modern games depending on what mood I'm in.

- I do retro gaming entirely with emulators because I don't enjoy messing with old hardware.

- I've significantly narrowed the games that I play. Many retro games and even entire genres like 4x just aren't fun for me anymore.

- I ditch games quickly and start new ones when I'm not having fun.

- I'm happy to cheat (single player), or play on easier difficulty levels if that's what makes a game fun for me.

If you have a yearning to play video games, go for it, but do it with some thought.

I don't mind playing football manager with the in-game editor on.
