>Being a manchild isn't based on your activities, it's based on your mindset

The mindset of a child is one of fascination, curiosity and will-to-life; for children fun and pleasure are ends in themselves and never a waste of time. When a kid plays a videogame or watches a cartoon, their aesthetic experience is both visceral and transcendent, and as deep as any grown man reading Homer or Shakespeare.
The mindset of an ''adult'' is cynical, self-conscious, moralizing and impotent.

I'd rather have the former than the latter.
