Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?

I go through waves. Sometimes I don’t want to play games at all, and during those times I do some of my other hobbies/activities. Summer especially I spend a lot of time outside. I would advise against spending money to try and fix what just might be a temporary thing. Not to say you shouldn’t buy a SteamDeck if you want one outside of the fatigue, just don’t let that be the only reason.

How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment. School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people. Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

For about 2 months and a few days now. So I think, I already adjusted to the changes.

Definitely! It was tough the first few weeks, lol.

Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

At the moment I don’t yet, I purposely asked if I could work full time at office. I still live with parents and the distractions are a bit much. Might try working from home sooner or later though.

  In that case my original advice might be the best. Try doing some of you other hobbies, and then re-evaluate after a couple weeks. I’m guessing you are not in the US, but the weather is getting better in the northern hemisphere. Try finding something to do that gets you out of the house. If you still want to play games later, you’ll find the time
