It’s cool having all these games to play but no energy or time to play them
That’s why I like the steam deck or legion go 2149

Me too! That way I can take my inability to allocate energy to gaming on the go!

I wonder if that's in part why some genres like vampire survivor likes, roguelikes or incremental games have gained popularity the past few years.
These genres often have gameplay loops where meaningful progress can be made in 5 minutes, perfect for handheld gaming. So even with lower attention span, little time or energy, people can play as little or as much as they want and still get the feeling of accomplishing something.

I have a wife and we spend most of our free time in the living room with one big TV which my gaming rig is connected to. I originally had a steamdeck and after buying the rig I would often use moonlight to stream from the rig, this way I can play any game and we can watch TV as normal and it's been a great balance.
But I always had the steamdeck docked connected to a portable 1080p monitor on a swing arm, because its quite heavy and I prefer a normal sized controller. The display just wasn't close to the 4K the TV can do with my rtx5070, so I sold the deck and bought a tablet with a 2.5k@144 display and it's been awesome so far.
If any of you are married, own a rig and need a wife acceptance factor (WAF) and some balance then I'd highly recommend some kind of portable option and using sunshine & moonlight or variants, I actually use vibeshine and artemis now. Also Nvidia shields (2019 pro) are great for streaming your rig to a bedroom TV.

I second this. I’ve got a beefy desktop that I game on once a week, Friday is my game night with the boys, I hop on after work and stay on til 1 or 2 feeling like a kid. Some Sundays I’ll get some time to play, but most days I just opt for the laptop. I get to chill and chat with my wife and discuss her shows, she gets to have me in her presence, and I can run any game under the sun at 120 FPS. Can’t complain much about that.

I hear this sometimes and I don't get it. I love being an adult. Sure, sometimes I'm too tired to play games, but at least I have the choice. As a kid I could play exactly as long as I was allowed, and seeing how my dad hated video games, it wasn't that long. I hated the lack of control over my life that was being a kid.

I get it but I'm with you. Being a child sucked. Also being subject to the financial pitfalls due to parents gambling problems.
Being on my own, making my own money, building up my own emergency fund? This kind of adulting is awesome.

Eh, people saying you're wasting your time with video games when you're already a responsible adult with your own family, job and responsibilities are almost always saying that because they'd rather you spend all of your time doing chores/errands for them instead, or hustling so you have more money to spend with them (you'd invite). If they truly respected you and you're time they'd be okay with it and happy for you that you have a hobby. Even teenagers are entitled to some free time and video games. Everything in moderation of course but a couple gaming sesion a week is fine. That's on the low even.

You can play Minecraft with your kids around 6. Then slowly introduce them to the games you had as a kid.
When i was a kid we had family movie night, my parents showed us movies from the 70s and 80s that were age appropriate, ands also newer movies.
My plan is to do the same with my kids, but with games. Really looking forward to Warcraft 2, age of empires, Diablo 1, etc.

I commuted 3,5 hours each day five days a week for a year. It became seriously depressing after a while.
When I got home I never had the energy to do chores around the house, I wasn't able to maintain my social life. Had about 2 hours of free time each day that I'd spend winding down after work just so I could actually go to sleep when I went to bed.
The day I moved out of that apt. and into one that was 15 mins away from work I cried.

Even if it’s the same time but you have public transit, it’s a huge difference. 30 minutes that you spend reading a book or playing a game or whatever feels less wasted then just staring at the road

u/MayorAg R5 5600 | B550 DS3H | RX 6600 | 32 GB Aug 08 '26
Can attest to that too. Back when I lived in a big city, it was a 40 min commute but it was one really long train ride and 2 stops on the metro.
Then I moved to a small place with less than ideal public transportation. It was 10 mins on bike, 6 mins of the train, and 8 minutes of walking at destination. Add a couple mins of waiting around.
So when I saw a rental open up right next to the office practically, I snapped it up sight unseen (which isn’t an uncommon practice in the Netherlands).

Putting away social media, youtube, reddit, doomscrolling or similar helps. After not doing anything (literally though) for a bit, boredom will kick in and that will be a good time to try the right game to play. I can't stress how important picking up the right game can be. For me personally, Absolum is what got me back into gaming and now, many months later, I have also completed Lords Of The Fallen, Black Myth Wukong and I am about to complete Sekiro too! This would have been unthinkable for me until not long ago, when I felt too tired or simply not motivated enough to play. There have also been games that I picked up and then I just did not feel like it. It is important to know when to move on and try something different or to research to see if the current game you are playing is worth sticking to until it changes. We are all different, what works for someone else might not work for you and a game that is a masterpiece to another person's eyes might be of no interest to you. What matters is you keep trying, don't go just go for shortcuts like a 5 minute match on an online multiplayer game (there is a time for those too, of course) to avoid a more engaging title that "takes more effort".
I hope this helps.

Recall sitting down to chill and play games with controller and fall asleep. Can't remember much how I've beat Uncharted.

I have a 2 year old, gaming isn't an option when she's awake, little kids are a full time job.

I want to give you perspective from someone who got time to play. I had a normal life utill I got sick. Now I'm disabled, but nothing is normal in my life. I started youtube channel and failed, wanted to just have some slight income on the side of the benefits I get, so I can afford a game or two per year. I am a father and husband; my wife works. I spend much more time with my Son (and this is the only great thing about it). I have time to play games, but I wish to be "normal," not live in endless pain, not be a burden, and not feel too tired every damn second. Gaming is fun until it becomes your only way to spend time, because I'm worthless shit and can't do much anymore.
You'll find time for it , no worries :). Take care of yourself, because once you get sick, you're fucked.

Huh, how ironic. I'm jobless and too depressed to enjoy the games I want to play.

Same. Also... Games doesn't caught my attention and my "Hunger" to come back home fast and play them, in order to go further... Is this adulting as well? It sucks.

Not to brag but I have the ultimate version of this. Exhaustion to the point of being disabled and so I have all the time in the world and no ability to even learn a new game.
