The best antidote I've found for indecision is action. Start a blog that reviews the games you've loved over the years. Offer your services to a game review site (with a portfolio of reviews you've written). Spend some time learning to make tic-tac-toe. Design a brand new game you'd love to play. In the worst case you will have spent a few hours learning about and promoting something you're passionate about, and in the best case you'll have found a new opportunity for personal fullfillment.
