Does anyone else just have a really... "meh" bond with their siblings?

I have two older brothers and I'm the same way; just a lukewarm "meh" relationship where we barely interact. We all live in different cities and are in different careers, and we usually only meet up during Christmas at our parents' house. Even then it's just awkward as I'm a PC gamer and my brothers play console, so there's not much to talk about aside from random small talk.

When I was younger I wanted to be closer to them but it just kind of seems pointless since they also don't seem to make much effort in keeping touch.

I have to also mention that my relationship with my parents is kind of similar, where I just visit out of some weird sense of responsibility since they did bring me into this world. I'm the black sheep of the family and completely different from the others with different values.

Sometimes it makes me a bit morose, but I guess it's just how it is sometimes.
