Even when I find time, I'm usually too tired to play. I might play a couple of games a year now. Used to be a couple of games a month.

This may or may not be correct.

Adults don't play video games. Adults read box scores in old newspapers and replay entire baseball games in their minds.

I find that by not having sex with women, and also not doing the required exercising and grooming that would aid in that pursuit, I can have many hours to play video games.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

I am 35 years old with three kids and a career that involves about 1.5 weeks / month of business travel.

I get so much time to game that I'm about 1/3rd the way through Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and usually play enough to remember which button does what and then a kid falls or pukes or shits on something before I get bitched out from my wife for not spending enough time with her and when I do make time she's always on her fuycking phone and I just wanht to plant Uncharted for 1 loving hour and yes Laura I can watch the baby and play a video game, she just sits on the floor and drools and I dont give a gently caress that the tree people are suggesting another round of insecticidal soap, I am playing uncharted, you make a decision for one in your life!

Basically give up on open-world stuff or sprawling rpgs or anything else that doesn’t have concrete segments that you can polish off in 30-60 minute chunks.  Those games used to be my jam but it’s just not satisfying to explore a bit and do part of a quest and rearrange your inventory a bit and then be like “ok well time for bed, maybe I’ll get to play this for 2-3 more hours by this time next week”.  Witcher 3 looks sick but I literally don’t forsee any period of time in my future where I can actually play it and enjoy it. Even if I did manage to get a lengthy game session in I wouldn’t be able to get another one for weeks.

This displeases Dev- ..van. Shut up.
op, you just read slow. try books on tape, because they let you game and read. the fact that you need this spelled out to you is exactly why you never have time to do the things you want. I bet if I was your life coach I would find a vulgar amount of inefficiency and once I did away with it, you would finally blossom like a happy flower in spring.

I have a so I live with and she has been enjoying watching me wreck poo poo in MGS:TPP:AHKG*. We are both pushing 30 and live in a nice apt and eat good food and collect stupid poo poo like Lego and watch cartoons like Regular Show and the one with the Catbug in it.

We have no kids but DO have a cute Lhasa Apso (shaggy cut gently caress that long hair dog show poo poo) and also that $150 app driven droid from the new Star Wars.

Basically don't have kids.

It is insane how much money you can basically light on fire on a whim to fuel vacations and hobbies and it's still way cheaper than raising a kid.

We are actually going to Europe for 10 weeks in like 10 days. This is something we are able to do because we are child free and yet our parents wonder constantly why we haven't had kids yet. One of these days I want to tell them "Why yes I would love to give up the ability to travel the world and enjoy life in exchange for shuttling brats to practices, screaming, tantrums, babysitter fees, and worrying to death about poo poo like pregnancy, preschool, daycare and school districts. Cannot loving wait for that."

None of this is to be all "lol breeders lol crotchspawn" and take anything away from happy parents. Whole lot of people get joy from raising kids. But I feel about having kids like I've heard people talk about going to med school: make sure you really want it first because if you don't, you're going to be miserable and in a whole lot of debt.
