For me, the attention span isn't the problem. I have been going on DOS2 and Factorio benders over the last couple years. For me, it's about making sure that I don't have some niggling anxiety in the back of my mind ruining my concentration. Got chores done? Dinner prepped? Laundry done? Animals fed? Game time baybee.
The trick is to push through the anxiety and truly become a worthless pile of shit destroying kids in online shooters, running solely on off-brand Cola, microwave pizza and self-loathing
This dude games.
Absolutely crush them into the ground.
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well
On one hand, playing stuff like Minecraft with my kid is super rewarding.
But on the other… is it possible to learn this power?
Spot on. You have zero responsibilities at that age, except for maybe some homework and a few minimal chores. As an adult all you can think about is the endless todo list.
Oh man, Factorio is the black hole that has absorbed the most hours of any game I've ever played. I wouldn't have enjoyed it much in my youth, but it's the perfect fit for me now!
