How many games do you manage to play at the same time? (sh.itjust.works)

I’m a separated dad with a demanding job and a fiancé. I only have the kids when I’m not working but I want to be fully available for them.

Recently, I’ve noticed that it would be difficult for me to play more than a story/ambiance game (next one is gonna be either Dead Space Remake or Aliens Dark Descent) and forever playable game (Gran Turismo 7 since its launch).

If I played more games with the time I have, I would forget the story or the controls. I haven’t tried but I’m pretty sure of it.

The problem with such a system is that I’m almost a aralyzed when I have to chose which story/ambiance game I’m gonna play.

So what’s your system and what are your time limitations?

I just buy whichever game i enjoy playing when it's on sale only to never actually getting to play it.

Life is a matter of you either have the time, money or energy. But never all.

I have the money now but not the energy, i just pass out the moment i get home and playing games just gets postponed until i get time off.

Sorry for you as it sounds really sad.

I hope it’s just temporary and you’ll find a more comfortable balance soon.

Thank you for the compassion, i'm hoping too.
