My secret is playing retro games. Knocking out a few levels of Ecco the Dolphin isn’t nearly as mentally tasking as booting up Cyberpunk.
It helps I have a kid but I’ve pretty much completely stopped playing ‘adult’ games and have been enjoying the shit out of stuff like all the Lego games, Astro Bot, Kirby, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and other more kid friendly games. They’re nowhere near as mentally taxing and grindy and they’re way easier to just pickup and play for just a bit. I don’t even remember where the heck I was at in Elden Ring and have little interest in spending 2 hours just to refresh myself with all the mechanics and my progress just to get my ass kicked by some boss 17 times.
I still want to play more ambitious games, but everywhere i go forums and chats are full of elitist gatekeeping pricks complaining that the games are “too easy”. And lo and behold the souls plague encroaching over more and more genres.
Persona 5 is the problem. I’m tired too and no way I’m willing to micromanage a kids life while taking down bad guys. No no, I’ll snuggle with my steam deck and play Balatro tyvm.
Gotta train your brain to run on 4 hours of sleep (please help, the exhaustion is flaying my brain in slow motion)
I was like that. For too long.
Now my ass be in bed by 9… looks at clock… Ish
Me except guitar instead of games.
That’s me every work day. So at least you’re not alone
