My dad is 60 and he'll sometimes stay up till 3 in the morning playing CoD on the weekends.
CrispyBYnoon
Nah. I put in a good hour minimum a day. Need it to decompress after a long day of pretending to work at my office.
NotSoIndependentGamer
Tween? Psh. I'm 22 and was playing Advance Wars on my phone waiting for a job interview last November.
TheKnave
I'm a night auditor for a hotel. I do all my work in 2 hours and get paid to play games on my laptop for 6....ahhh livin the dream
TheOnlyHopeForMeIsYou
What does a night auditor do?
zoogz
Stop depressing me with my life.

Sure most days, but I have one day a week that I devote to playing games

...the fuck is up with people I spent ALL DAY yesterday playing Yakuza 0.

Toxicempanada
Speak for yourself. I play more games (tabletop and video) now than I ever did as a kid or teen
youDontKnowMeByNow
Childhood: Less Money, much time ; Adulthood: more Money, no time... Working on the right balance of Money and time is what iam aiming for
kawaiimeeshe
Childless FTW
dogsi
Oh fuck that. I put in a solid 6 to 8 hours a day gaming after I come home from work (making games).
mormacil
How!? I'm so done with game engines by then I just lazily browse, attempt some pixel and maybe then an hour of some game before bed.
MathewMara
This, 100%. Almost 34, married with 2 kids. Hard to find time to myself...I miss the days of gaming all night with my friends, great times!
CyberAkuma
Opposite of me. I'm in my 30s, have over 150 hours in both my FFXV and BotW saves.... still haven't beaten them yet.
jagiyakitty
literally the exact same 2 games fucked up my entire adult needed sleeping schedule.
YamaLama
One round? Fuckn casual. I commute and 9-5 and still have time to come home and...ZzzzzZzzzzz... Play until 1am .*loses consciousness again*
FrogTheSpy
7pm to 4am?
ForsakenEostre
Yep, work all day, come home, shower, food, errands, a little gaming/surfing the net, then bed, amidst the groans from my guildmates.
SuddenRandomFinnishGuy
So true lol
HaydenZimmerman
Playerunkowns battle grounds and overwatch are great for quick 30 minute to 1 hour sessions one or two rounds then off to bed!
DADM0DE
That's what I've been doing!

Why are his hands under the table?
elBajoNegro
12 years after College, I'm still at the College part.

Sometimes I don't even start and go on Imgur instead. Whelp.

smadge1
It's much easier to just watch people play games on YouTube than to actually play them,
rapemeokrobmoneyarenot
Dude, how many times have i turned on my xbox just to watch other people play on YouTube? Dude, lots.
lifemarv
this... I will never get in my mind...
samsonguy920
Thanks to my mobile phone, I can do both! I just finished a FTL run(won on easy), while listening and sometimes watching Totalbiscuit >
samsonguy920
> play FTL. His streams are the best, since he is never afraid to lash out at morons.
Vansauce
And less expensive. *ding*
payHOMAGEpupil
I thoroughly enjoyed watching people play Dark Souls 3 on twitch!
Desaku
If you play while you watch, you can clear twice as many games in half the time!
smadge1
When I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn, I had to force myself to go to bed at a reasonable hour, and I would watch streams while I was playing
Teslatomic
This is what I do. Very convenient.
monsiuerdownvotes
I do this. EQ Emu (neeeeeeeeeeerd) while watching people on Twitch play PUBG.
Siptro
can confirm, waiting to play my one match of CS before bed after the baby is asleep
rockstedi
Always one afk for pistol round. *sigh* there goes my one game.
Atropos97
This is why I'll never intentionally have kids. Plus, I'm shit with small animals...
putinmybutt
One game of CS? You must be a Nova scrub lord. Have fun playing though!
mike34568
Lol yeah us lems and above we play hundreds of games everyday!
sickncrazy
Matching? MM scrubs. Esea is where its at.
putinmybutt
FaceIt is more populated for Europe I'd say, high level FaceIt that is though.
jewnoguat
You have to give up sleep if you want to play I found out. It's worth it once a week otherwise yes one game then bed lol
Siptro
eagle actually. was supreme before he was born
putinmybutt
Was supreme, that's the important word. I'm still supreme, are you LE or LEM?
iwannadipmyballsinitguy
Sorry, lem
iwannadipmyballsinitguy
Ayy. Same here, we should play sometime (I'm UK based)
TheTastiestTampon
That was true except for 6 weeks I spent unemployed this year. Playing all the computer games I owned kept me sane with all the spare time.
ThrowawayHBS
My life right now, in between school and job.
PresidentProTempore
That has been making me more depressed and withdrawn.
TheTastiestTampon
It's a trick, fighting the part of you that wants that. It helps to make a schedule; shower and shave, every day. It makes a big difference.
PresidentProTempore
I've been working out a lot to boost my mood and self-esteem up, I was in that hole 2 weeks ago though
InsanityCrab
6 weeks? but you're such a delicious little tampon!
TheTastiestTampon
I took a two week break initially. It was a semi-planned unemployment, and the last job had me working 100 hours a week for 3 prior months.
miserableprincess
Woah dude, thats way too much work and not enough play.
FreyaNicci
Same thing happened to me. I went to library to get away from my games and stay focused on job applications.
CactusFantastic0
Totally. It's hard for spouses to understand too. I HATED it and was getting depressed and spouse didn't get why I wasn't happy w/ free time
NZSheeps
So how do I become 'unemployed'? Does it pay well?
UnculturedHeathen
Saaaame. Played through Skyrim AGAIN.
Gawky
hahaha, weak sauce, scandinavian here, been unemployed for 6 years now :)
LanceCrossfire
My mate did that. He would stay home and play Goldeneye all day and then flog my ass when I got home from work.
JustAnotherLinkInTheChain
*is an adult with bills and shit* "guys if we trade having sex, we get more time for gaming! It's not hard if you browse Imgur!"
guilhermedidi
what is this 'sex' you speak of?
YamaLama
It helps when your wife is a massive gamer
CycloneSP
where does one meet such wonderful (single) women?
NZSheeps
Well then you can multitask
TheMershedPerderder
Advance wars. Fuck yeah.
Spartan005
Check out WarGroove, announced at E3 this year, it's Advance Wars Medieval.
Kompi
The character themes... the character themes man! Great game!
Titmouseman
Oh yeah, esp. the local MP with friends. Esp. the games where I won a meatgrinder with some ridicolous super-CO-power cheese :D
Fadedsun
Check out AwBw (advanced wars by web)

Nah brah, Sami Infantry Zerg Rush right to HQ. Made even better when paired with Eagle/Sensei for maximum coverage. Cant fight with no money
KPopGirlKimi
Max was my go to character to play!
Jadorel
It was all about Eagle and his Triple turn ability in Dual Strike
SpecialContainmentProcedures
Pfff... artillery rockets and 'Grit'. I was untouchable

Oscarwildebastardson
Now that I am an adult and can buy any game I want, I did. And have only played 2 so far.
IMoveWithTheEleganceOfAnAfricanElephant
I bought 3 games in last year's Black Friday sales. This week, I finally got to game 3 (MGS V). Dammit, I'm old.
Navor
What age is adult for ya? I'm scared.
jayphat
I find I'm too tired to sit down and play some days. Others I'm wired and I'll play until long past when I should for the next day's work.
AnatomicalMouse
Stuff doesn't hold my attention any longer. I used to be an achievement whore and now I'm fine just dabbling in it on occasion
AdventureousYetiMan
Same thing with me. Getting every GTA 4 achievement was my holy grail, but now I can't get an hour into it without life getting in the way
ICantThinkOfAGoodUsernameSoIWillSettleWithThisOne
I have a Steam library of over 700 games, I've played about a quarter of them at varying levels of completion
IdonotknowwhatthehellIamdoinghere
I have a pretty epic Steam library. I've heard a lot of the games are really good.
JimmySmits
I blame humble bundle and the way steam sales used to be for mine. I think I've played about 30% of my library.
madjo
I have a whole bunch of unclaimed humble bundle steam-games. I feel like a digital hoarder :(
MrPredator
Hell, all I feel like doing it going to be after I get home.
cfw34677
Learned two things as an adult. I now have the money to buy the games I want. I no longer have the time to play them all :(
disinformatique
Welcome to the club.
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
I don't even have a child and this is true. I don't want to think about having a kid in the mix someday.
NotTheSharpestSpoonInTheDrawer
I had a kid recently. Paternity leave has given me a lot more time to play than I've had in a long time.
SchwiftyGameOnPoint
True, but that will only last so long. Then you go back to work and have a kid. Good luck. :p
yoshi
~400 games in my steam library, played only about 50 of them, and just 20 to completion :(
01DragonLord01
So true, and after that realising that theres only 1 type of game that you really like, and that they only make one of those every 7 years
RedRaptor
ARE YOU ME?!
CherryEmpress
Try being a mentally ill unemployed adult. Plenty of time for games. Wanting to die is a downside.
rismail2
Damn. Inbox me if you wanna talk buddy.
CherryEmpress
Hey thanks for being kind. I'm on meds and on a waiting list for therapy, so I'll be ok eventually.
realwomenfightnaked
I just beat horizon zero dawn last night. Ive had it since release.
bobbobberson12
I'm 26 and I'm still waiting for a new advance wars to come out
kmikl
Guilty.
Cortezdelanoche
I blame steam.
Justarandomgiffairy
That's quitter talk OP. My dad works 9-5, cooks dinner often, goes to bed by 11/12 and still plays Zelda almost everyday. You gotta want it!
Istherenothingleft
I'm not the only one then. Nice.
Bleepitybleep
Truth. I buy everything I can get my hands on. Then never play them. Like I'm some weird doomsday prepper.
jo3v
We're slowly becoming our dads. The other night, I farted myself awake and I had a moment... dads are just conditioned kids
Maitis
I bought mirrors edge 2 and dishonored 2 on release. I've played the tutorial on mirrors edge and havent even started dishonored :|
NoLongerFoamingWolffo
My own to have played ratio on steam is about 5%
Elven91
But, boy oh boy, do they look good on that shelf, don't they
DontTouchMyHoHos
What made us play a lot is the ability to only play a small amount of games so we milked the ones we got
kjatar
Hah, oh, man. I went so far as building an arcade cab from the ground up. I don't PLAY it, but I built it!
TheWorldEndsWithYou
I want Persona 5 but also I don't know how long it will take me to sit down for 100 hours
LokiKingOfJotunheim
As an adult, my Steam folder alone has exceeded a terabyte... I have quite a few games that I haven't finished though :/
osteopoppolulu
Now that I am an adult and can buy any game I want, I do. And have played all of them extensively so far. I love my life
Icommentoncomments
Which two? Mine are Doom and Halo5
spetcnaz
Same story here man. Just can't. I noticed that if one thing bothers me in the game I will stop playing it now. Before, who cared.
TachyonCode
I have been an adult since 2004 and it took ten years, but I now don't game on the daily for hours. Not enough time.
blackguard89
im 28, have 450 games on steam....Hav installed 41....play like 5 from time to time. WHAT HAPPENED TO US MAN! WHAT HAPPENED!
TheBasementNerd
Driving uber is so good for free time. I just gotta keep up my own hours, which is hard
Qumefox
I really hope you're factoring in taxes and vehicle maintenance into what you make. I've heard with uber it's easy to actually lose money.
TheBasementNerd
I've been driving about 7 months, I just need to budget better and I could buy myself a new car next year
holypumpkins
This is why I have no kids and no friends plenty of time for videogames...

Look at all these systems I bought! This 50" tv and awesome sound system.... basically living room ornaments for 95% of my week.
InspiredUser
Life fucking sucks don't it.
Chernobyx
me and my 250+ steam library...
KaseiVallis
At this point, my backlog is into heirloom status. I won't live long enough to play them all and my son win inherit them.
Qumefox
Own maybe 300 games on steam. Have played maybe 10% and completed maybe 2.
Efreeti
870 games on steam. I've never played 68% of them. Proof:
wiggadewah
We buy games about 2 years after they come out. Not necessarily play them, but it's a cheaper strategy and all the walk thrud are on YT.

Fuck, ain't this the truth. I still have not started The Last of Us, which I bought 3 years ago.
MasterWong1
Similar, catching up, recently bought a ps4 pro, got TLOU remastered.. barely played it
LiamBoyd
I bought Witcher 3 and only played till level 11
MrDrWatson
I also bought Witcher 3,but first I want to finish the first one, then the second one. But I don't find the time to do it. 1/2
MrDrWatson
Those games need at least one hour gaming sessions. Nowadays I play 1 or 2 matches of Fifa and even then that hour flies fast.
MasterWong1
You're missing out
CivilizedUndead
Decided to relive my childhood and bought over 130 games, have only play 4 since I bought them 3 years ago. I just don't have time :(
itsybitsyspider
I have played many games...but then my friends dragged me off to an MMO.

Right?? Same here. Man I miss the show gamepro and dream of all the games I wanted.

You just reminded me of the show "gamezone". Made some great online friends using their online forum. Memories :,)

This is why lets players on youtube are popular and are sustainable.
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
I'm married with 2 kids, and I recently bought a Switch. Being able to play it on the go has really gotten me back into gaming. 1/2
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
With the kids, I would just never have time to play a console sitting down in front of the TV. 2/2
couldhavebeenabaggins
I miss them too, e3 was the highlight of my summer back then. Got 100+ games on Steam and I play 2, keep saying oh I will play this never do
Ididthisforthelol
Stop being so damn relatable...
couldhavebeenabaggins
Hey man gaming is something I grew up on, older you get the less gaming you do or even the amount of games you play decreases
