The "average adults" in my bubble all complain about not being able to game, but somehow know all about the popular TV shows of the moment. And of course Formula 1 and the many football leagues (world football that is, not 'American' hand-egg).
It's all a matter of priorities.
Also, as my kids are a bit older now, we sometimes game together. My son loves coop Portal and my daughter enjoys it when I play Valheim. She loves watching me explore the game world.
I know what gets me is being too tired to commit to a game mentally after work.
Then the weekends get filled with chores
It won't get better if you have any kids. I bought Valheim for the casual exploring, but it got a bit more intense than that. :-/
Yeah id be at the bar for hours with ppl whod be like how do you get time to game lmao, like I just don't goto the bar every night
TBH gaming can be a very reasonably priced hobby too
one of the most, for bang for your buck, depending on the game you buy, but I also have plenty of games I bought and barely touched when I was very into gaming.
Many games people play, like counter-strike, League of Legends etc is all games you can't pause. That's really where the problem comes. If you kid wakes up, you have to leave the game, which sucks and even have penalties. So most choose to not play, because of that and watch tv series instead.
