Hmm that's interesting. I always find videos games take too much energy. Also requires good hardware to play good games, meanwhile you can play video content on any cheap tablet in 1080p.
(I also can't really read books, unless the story really interests me, its hard to visualize scenes. (aphantasia, maybe?) Again, takes too much energy.)
I find the quality of Movies to be usually higher than TV Shows. Movies are consistent throught, but TV shows sometime gets rushed in some parts, especiallt if its a different season. (Infamous GoT debacle, remember?) But its usually TV shows that tells more interesting stories, but you are also at the mercy of big media companies of just cancelling your favorite show and fucking you over.
I recently find animated content, especially (Japanese) Anime, to be an interesting medium. Some concepts can be expressed in animated, but would look very silly when acted out / live-action (like Death Note adaptations, or Avatar: The Last Airbender, I mean, shinigamis and bending elements in live-acting is just cringe, and they have young adults playing kid roles which is just ridiculous), and because you don't have actor restraints or need filming locations, its much less likely to get "cancelled" like Netflix does.
Tldr: Movie > Anime > TV > Manga > Books
Video games is an energy vampire
