Getting old with kids you’ll start to feel this. You just want to disconnect from the world after a certain point. It sucks because you WANT to play; you just… don’t want to lol.

It's even worse as PC gamer.

My Gaming rig literally sat there 4 years unused because of two kids.

Now I feel the urge to game again, everything in this rig is outdated. Spent couple hundred bucks to get it ready again and it was amazing getting back to building a PC.

Now do I have time for playing? Hell na, see you in three years upgrading again.

A Steam Deck mostly fixes that issue, but not always. Assuming that a heck ton of pictures of dads in r/steamdeck went in.

I also played new games more likely because of the Steam Deck.

Yeah I had the deck and the ally. Then I just returned it because I knew I didn’t have time. Now I just stream my PS5 to my phone and use dual sense with a clip. Diablo 4 at 1080p very minimal lag.
