Exactly. Thats it what i most miss, the sense of wonderful misteries and possibilities that the computer had.
replyI have a text book called Hamlet on the Holodeck about how the machines could take imagination to greater heights.

Humans never change so I have hope things will correct and we dream again.
I don't think that's fair to the wonderful people using the computer for imagination, they're called game developers and there are so many wonderful experiences out there. A lot of the AAA stuff is kinda trash nowadays, but you still have some older stuff and indie games. Off the top of my head, some really great experiences I've had:
replyPersona 3, probably any game in the series belongs here but this one's my personal favorite
Fallout New Vegas, last good fallout game
Undertale, really good indie rpg that flips rpgs on their head. Also has really good music
Deltarune, not finished but is a pseudo-sequel to undertale
Celeste, lovely little platformer with a good soundtrack. Trying to 100% it will make you want to rip your hair out
