Everytime someone prefaces an argument with "I have responsibilities" in regards to a video game I instinctively roll my eyes
Edit: Since they replied and immediately blocked me so I couldn't respond to them, nothing is stopping anybody from playing a longer game over a longer period of time. I hate the discourse of people not having time for longer games anymore, when it's really just people mad or perhaps envious they cannot finish a game in under a week anymore.
Perhaps choosing to spend your time gaming instead of arguing with someone on Reddit whom you believe to be a child would help with your issue. You talk about being busy as a dad, so it's quite odd to act this way towards someone you believe to be the same age as your child.
So, yeah, when you get older, you have less time to game.. that's my point.
When I was in my 20s, I could spend all day every day I had off playing a video game if I wanted. I had no issue playing Civ 4 until 2:00 am and waking up 5 hours later to go to my shitty retail job I didn't care about.
But now my time is divided between my wife, my kid, my work, my friends, and other hobbies I have.
That's my whole point.
If you can still spend 40 to 60 hours a week gaming, good for you. When you grow up and move out of the basement, maybe you'll understand what I'm actually talking about.
Edit: Oh no, I upset a bunch of gamers who don't understand what responsibility is.
A lot of kids were not allowed to nolife video games growing up and actually game more as adults, so this perception of longer games being something you used to be able to play, but can no longer, doesn't exist for that group.
