I can maybe squeeze in an hour of gaming every third day if I am efficient (work and household stuff) and lucky. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just there are many games I want to experience so I have to be very selective.

When you get older it gets harder and harder to play video games frequently.

For me, it’s that a game is a big time and energy investment. I’m hesitant to jump in.

@kandoh That's what I'm normally like for bigger games but then I always find some game that can just fill up my time to the point I've paid twice the amount of time the 'Big' game would have.

I had this happen with me for Hearthstone. It’s so easy and quick to play that it ends up taking up a huge chunk of time.
Once I stopped playing it though, nothing else could really fill the void. So my playtime decreased and never really recovered

@kandoh I'm 21, Moved out of home and don't have to work... I have nothing but time and that's the problem.

That’s nothing to feel guilty about as long as you’re not neglecting trying to find a job and self improvement. Your 20s are rough, all opportunities available are pretty shitty and exploit your energy and inexperience. Videogames are a great way to stay sane during this.

@kandoh I know my career path is right there with Video Editing I just seem to end up doing games over editing and it's something that I will most likely have to seek professional help in the future for.
