Other than my brain being worried about failing and being worse off? nope.

Any new games, music, movies, etc coming out in a sense just reminds that I struggle to enjoy those things. It's like you see people around you enjoying them but you can't. They fill up the time but there's nothing, no response, no excitement so it's similar to staring at a wall.

Same here. I think this happened for me when I realized how unfulfilling they are compared to having a girlfriend or genuine friendships etc.

I am much older and not really into games but I understand that feeling very well. things I used to enjoy just don't arouse any interest any more and I feel depressed I have reached this point in my life where there is nothing more to do but die.

The next Animal Crossing doesn't make me not wanna die but I'd love to play it before I do. I'm scared both of being around when it comes out and the thought of playing it and discovering it doesn't give me peace any more, though.

Tbh, this is how I used to get through life for a long time. Just constantly giving myself little things to look forward to so I could get through stretches of time. 'If I live for a couple of days, I'll have a decent day when I leave the house.' 'My parcel is coming in the mail in two weeks.' 'My favourite author's next book is coming out next year.' But being lonely and anhedonic has made that less meaningful because I can't enjoy things well enough any more and don't even have people to help me enjoy it/pretend to enjoy it for. The only thing that brings me any relief is nature and I feel guilty for the amount of time I indulge that. But conversely I also feel ashamed for not enjoying things, like it reflects negatively on me and makes me dull. All that's left in me is criticism and irritation. Even the things I was interested in enough to say I would devote my whole life to like neuroscience and writing are just bugbears.

I am really glad for you that those things make you excited about something, better than being sad like us who can't find pleasure in those things any more - no need to demean it as stupid. :)

I would elaborate, but then I'd get too sad.
