do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used to be I couldn’t wait to see what happened in the story, what new items you could collect, what new worlds the developers had created. Not anymore. I return to playing the same franchise for a quick FPS match or three and then I’m done.

Same here. Time is just more valuable now. Hopping into a few quick rounds just feels easier than starting something up and getting halfway through the beginning tutorial, before being interrupted by the kids or wife, and then feeling like you just wasted the hour or so you had to spare, because you didn't even start playing the actual game yet.

Yup, the only game I play right now is factorio and that was a mistake. Staying up after the kids fell asleep and magically it's 4 hrs later. PC broke and I'm finally getting proper sleep. Should have stuck with slay the spire and other 1 hr run type games

Dang, I was defeated... but now I get to sleep?

Slay the Spire Victory? Screen, The Silent laying on the floor

dunno, better start another run to have something to do while you figure that out

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Exactly. I know I only have like an hour tops before need to do something and it's just not enough time to truly immerse myself so I end up not even want to start the game.
Now I'm wondering when I'll be 50 and the kids will be gone and have time again to play 8-10 hours straight. Maybe then.

Why I play brawlhalla, and only brawlhalla. For as long or as little as I can
