Adulthood means being able to buy as many video games as you ever wanted, but having absolutely no time to play them.

2022 was the year i learned to resist the trap of the Steam Sale. I still WANT to buy games to never play, but I stopped myself for a year

@jeremysayz I’ve seen some games—mostly older JRPGs—which do like a little recap of what your last few events were from your save. Like specifically what YOU did, not just a plot recap.

@adamconover My steam library has about 30 or so games and I tend to replay them because not all games are created equal. Much prefer exploration RPGs like Witcher 3, ACOD and story driven games like HZD than the repeated death of souls games

For me, adulthood is having a docket of games which Young!me would have killed to own, but being unable to play any of them because there's this thing in 6 hours which I need to spend 15 minutes preparing for and so instead of doing anything meaningful or enjoyable I'm just going to fixate on that and also neglect to eat or anything.

Show threadGarretJan 12, 2023
@marcus_grant @adamconover
I agree with that. The Steam Deck has helped fit in some gaming here and there in settings where I wouldn't typically have access to a traditional game system. I guess it was that way with the Gameboy, but it is nice having the PC library available.
