I work most of the day and when I finish I have little time to share between studies, chores, family, partner, friends and games. Maybe during the weekends I can play more but I don’t have the time I had during uni.
Edit: Fuck I’m mad with the
you’re definitely living life wrong.
Pay me a salary and I’ll stop wasting my time going to work so I can go play games.
Hard to get context across in a post, this was only intended as a playful jab. I know all too well the consequences of aging and how it sucks your time away. Though I got divorced sometime ago and my (adult) kids live with me. I work full time but from home, the time I save on the commute allows me time to cook etc and not having to be up as early allows me to stay up later at night. But because of this isolation I don’t really get out much There’s no “other half” and friends are in short supply, no co-workers to hang out with in my free time. Which leaves me plenty of time for video games. Now is this a good trade off! I don’t think so, would much prefer to be in your shoes.
Being down voted for being stuck in the machine of capitalism and having little time for entertainment is bonkers. “Living life wrong?” Motherfucker, it’s not like most people have a god damn choice in the matter. Sure, let’s just quit our jobs and starve in the gutter. 🙄
we all have a choice. we didn’t just ‘end up’ where we are, every decision we made along the way got us there. so yea you had a choice you didn’t just land some horrible job that doesn’t give you time to game.
I’d argue you have plenty of time for this game. It’s big, but it isn’t filled with bullshit and doesn’t waste your time. Treat it like playing pen and paper D&D. You can play a campaign over many sessions and possibly hundreds of hours spread out over a long period, but if it’s time enjoyed it’s time well spent. You don’t need to sit down for an eight hour session. Just play for an hour or two and come back some other time. It’ll still be there and there’s no battle pass or anything to miss out on.
Most modern games suck because they treat your time like nothing. They have you doing bullshit quests and collecting meaningless items. BG3 doesn’t do that. It treats you like an adult who can make their own decisions. It doesn’t waste your time and everything you choose to do will be fairly meaningful. It is what gaming should be in my opinion.
Have you ever heard of Capitalism?

Sorry, you’re right, is difficult to get the tone just from a post.

I’m losing my shit over this. Some people are so out of touch with reality.
