Piracy will do that to you. No investment, and a neverending backlog kills the engagement.

Go look at the thread how much u spend on steam…I don't pirate

 

[N0S]

GAF is a game, in a way. Try to shitpost as much as you can without getting banned.

 

[Deerock71]

Normally I'd be playing games more...but I'm putting off playing Switch games until June 5th, for some odd reason.

 

[HRK69]

My condolences.

Thanks, I'll take those condolences straight to the bank where I'll deposit them next to my free time, sleep, and sanity

We're all half-assed casuals every now and then

With my big family it's harder and harder to have time to play and when the kids are asleep I'm dead.

can relate
with little kiddos, saturday morning is basically my only consistently available time right now.
wake up, make a giant ass coffee, make everyone breakfast, then tell everyone to f off while i go play for a few hours.

like with songs, you sometimes have to go through a bit of crap to get to the good stuff.
if you've pirated a ton of songs/games, ive noticed a lot of people dont have the patience to give the stuff a proper chance. doesnt click right away? on to the next.

That's not weird at all. You have to be in a specific mood to play games. But we are always in the mood to argue in forums. They load faster and you don't have to pay too much attention or try too much.

With my big family it's harder and harder to have time to play and when the kids are asleep I'm dead. So I don't feel like playing. Thx god for GAF

I'm not a parent but I'm %110 damn sure parenting is all about making your kids enjoy whatever hobby that you find it worthy for yourself, that's basically the opposite of being selfish, otherwise you're not a real child's man.

 

[Schmendrick]

We are way too involved with our kids. Just have your kids in the room while you are playing. no need to wait for them to go to sleep.

If they are making too much noise, kick them out and tell them to go in their rooms.


I understand kids can be very attention hungry, but they should be glad we are in the house. They will be alright if we arent constantly hanging out with them.

right let's play doom or something like that with a 2-5 year old in the room that wants to spend time with "Daddy"

Dude... What? You don't have kids, have you? Or am I missing a /s here?

Got 2. And i stand by every word.

Obviously, something ultra violent like Doom is not something you can play with little ones around but those games are rare. Im a big souls fan and most of the time they had zero interest in watching the games.

I go through this phase depending on what's going on.
Part of the cycle of life as a parent. You will get more time or find ways to make time as the kids get older.

My wife is going on a girls trip in two weeks for about 4 days. Im gonna be gaming my ass off.

We'll have to agree to ...=>very<=... much disagree

 

[SlimySnake]

All jokes aside, children are only small once, then they grow up and don't want to hang around with you. I'm enjoying the reciprocal attention while it lasts.

Good. Looking forward to it. I have 17 years of combined attention from two needy little shits and i am ready for them to ignore me.

 

[wondermega]

Now just wait for the next phase, where you spend significantly more time on OT than on the gaming side.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I recently hopped on to play Hunt Showdown with my usual team and instead we sat in the PS party chat making stupid jokes, sending memes and we ended up not playing at all.

 

[Ritsumei2020]

The game for me is actually tinkering with graphic settings

Show us your gaming setup.

You should've been here for the golden years. It was amazing

 

[kiphalfton]

Got out of LTR last year, thought I would have all this time on my hands...

Nope, just waste more time on my phone.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Dial in 30min of game time than go up to 1hour a day, I don't know how people not have time to game, a lot of deceptive posts about not having time, 24 hours is a long time for a day.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Welcome to the club.
Tri psvita at night if you are still up.
