Gaming as an adult be like

[Gizmo_Duck]

Yall probably are doing yourself a disservice playing like 6 open world/single player games at the same time. I can’t imagining feeling very invested or finishing any games doing that.

My backlog is insane now. Was never a problem years ago. I'm like 40 hrs into cyberpunk over a few months lol

I feel as long as the games are different enough, it's easy to play multiple gameas at once. I usually range anywhere from 4-8 games within a weekly rotation. Among them tho, most are of different genres, the bulk of them being SP, but may have 1-2 fighting games among that mix. Having the gaming control scheme acclimation issue that some claim deters them from doing this has never been a problem for me (hence/byproduct of the multiple fighting game habits).

You care enough to not only respond but one star this thread. Talking about I don’t have to do chores for mommy anymore like that’s a major part of adulthood. I can tell you getting no cheeks

Get your paper up so you can afford a maid and you'll have more time for other shyt like gaming.

Gaming is so young as a medium, I be wondering if it’s the games evolving beyond my tastes or me just growing up.

Last time I stopped playing games from 2015-17 entirely. It took BOTW to get me back in the fold, and I was back on it heavy, but I feel 10x more apathetic rn than I ever did back then.

I’m hoping a TOTK does it, but imma be looking at that 30 fps again like I don’t even touch my fukking Switch anymore.

You really do gotta take break sometimes. The games themselves keep tryna copy formulas. Even if the game is a 10/10 when you've played the same game formula recently it kinda dulls the experience. Taking a week or 2 off into another genre or no games at all usually fixes that issue for me tho

I miss playing rtwp rpgs like Baldur's Gate. Now when a game requires me think a lot I end up bushing it.

That's i feel about Pillar of Eternity and Pathfinger. I used to spend literal days playing these games as a kid. Now I get sleepy even thinking about them but I still wanna play.

gotta find a game you enjoyed. I replayed mass effect legendary edition and that took 60 hours to beat all 3


now im thirsty again but nothing quenching this thirst

It's crazy when you realize the amount of games released per system has not changed much going back to the 90's.
We've always had many games to choose from and too many to play.

When we were kids we couldn't buy as many games se we had to focus on the ones we had. There are games I didn't like as a kid that I went on to finish.

Now if I don't like a game I buy a whole new one right in the middle of playing this one.
