I spend so much time installing, tweaking, and optimizing games for performance and experience that once its set up its time for bed. Then I never revisit them. Every time.

I relate hard. Multiple times before, I’ve spent hours and hours scouring the internet for a download link to a game, or even a tool or library needed to make it work. I’ll open the folder at 99%, ready to install 0.05 seconds after it’s downloaded. I’ll launch the game just to make sure it runs okay on my system, then give it a little whirl, and even then, it’s rare I’ll ever see beyond the tutorial, if that.

Getting old with kids you’ll start to feel this. You just want to disconnect from the world after a certain point. It sucks because you WANT to play; you just… don’t want to lol.

It’s even worse as PC gamer.

My Gaming rig literally sat there 4 years unused because of two kids.

Now I feel the urge to game again, everything in this rig is outdated. Spent couple hundred bucks to get it ready again and it was amazing getting back to building a PC.

Now do I have time for playing? Hell na, see you in three years upgrading again.

A Steam Deck mostly fixes that issue, but not always. Assuming that a heck ton of pictures of dads in r/steamdeck went in.

I also played new games more likely because of the Steam Deck.
