mechoman444,

Back when I was a kid I could play games for hours and hours. Now that I’m 38 I can play video games for hours and hours.

When I get into something I’m doing in SWTOR, I can play for a LOOONG time.

BaskinRobbins,

This is how I felt until I played Valheim and BG3. I think my preferred genres have just shifted. I need something I can relax and play at my own pace. I use to only play competitive shooters, where I needed to be “on” the whole game. Now I can only play a shooter for about an hour before my mind starts to drift and I lose interest.

Blackmist,

I think that’s the fault of games rather than me.

A lot of games are the same generic open world bollocks and it’s honestly just exhausting.

joyjoy,

Also me: will watch an 8 hour stream on twitch

korny,

I feel this way pretty often, but then I open Factorio again and the night turns to day quickly.

Floodedwomb,

The most realistic part is that you can’t afford name brand chips as an adult.

licherally,

I’ve put over 400 hours into vanilla terraria and recently started the calamity mod, first day I put like 6 hours into it.

I don’t play every day, I just don’t have the time/energy. But when I do I try to make it count.

That being said, we used to play Edward forty hands and try to beat ocarina of time in a single evening, usually staying up until dawn despite the copious alcohol.

I’m not the stallion I used to be, but even an old horse has something to prove.

For me it’s less the attention span thing and more the lack of time

There’s a million things I gave to worry about all pulling me in every direction at the same time

Plus now that my ADHD is actually being addressed it’s way easier to find time for things

son_named_bort,

No wonder Homer couldn’t beat Bart at video boxing.
