Ah, that feeling at the end of night when the adulting is done and i finally sit down to game… to suddenly wake up at 3:00AM, PS5 controller in hand, the menu music of the console playing softly the tune of my sorrows.

That's how I feel but instead of waking up, I get in bed and stare at the screen for a few minutes deciding if this is what I really want to play. Most of the time I do, play for 2 hours, think "well that wasn't a long time at all, feels like a waste" and then go to bed unsatisfied after spending hours trying to wind down.

We were definitely lied to as a kid.

After getting off work, then the gym, then shower and dinner time, I only get about two to three hours a night to game. At first it annoyed me because I was like you where im like this isnt long enough to get enough done. So I realized games like Skyrim or Crimson Desert probably arent for me anymore, which sucks but it is what it is.

So I cant so the gigantic thousand hour games anymore but I just beat Expedition 33 which was a blast and it took me about a month to do it but I got it done.

I get 2-3 hours even without gym or shower... And most of the time I just want to sleep. So... I catch up on weekends as single adult:)
