How about go find something to be your adult version of Pokémon. That mass-market LCD slop keyed to getting people to mindlessly play it, but the shit aimed decidedly at adults that might actually do the kinds of things adults want in their shit. Because you're not getting it off Game Freak and sitting crying about your lost childhood's tiring. Not my fault you invested your life into a property that didn't invest in adults.
