    I mean I definitely play them a lot less, even when I find myself with some time it’s difficult to get invested when I know I won’t have more time going forward. But I do still play them, and I do still love them. Card games board games video games they are still a ton of fun with friends I just don’t have the ability to dedicate entire days to them anymore

      I feel the same sometimes. I’m so disappointed with games like God of War and Doom. Between my gaming sessions, I forget how their talents and upgrades systems work, and generally I have no interest in them. Nowadays everything wants to be an RPG, and throw as many mechanics at their players as possible. But I just want to have some fun after work, not obtain a PhD in game design.

        Returning to a game you’ve left unfinished or just havent played in a long while can really feel like leaving ones comfort zone. Funny thing though is that its often a lot easier than one might think once you actually gather enough motivation to sit down to it.

        When it comes to light rpg mechanics, those are usually designed so that you can’t really go wrong with them. They’re more of a problem when you’re a “minmaxer” looking to “optimize fun out of the game” as then it’s really easy to start overthinking about these things.

      This is it. I have less time now as a working adult to play games, and I am single with no responsibility to a partner or kids. Heck, I also find few times to read books and I have a book from library due soon to return. I am a bit traditional with wanting to read books but I might try audiobook at some point.

        Audiobooks are a game changer for a time-strapped reader
