That hurts.
Yup. Haven’t really gamed much since my 20s which was half a lifetime ago now.
I still play games frequently, but in MUCH shorter sessions. I’m also gravitating more toward slower strategic/tactical games that can be paused at any time.
Agreed, it’s easier to jump back into those games, too. One thing I hate is picking a game back up after a week and spending the first 20mins figuring out what I was doing last time.
I did install a Sega Genesis emulator on a old laptop during the Xmas break to play some NHL94 and 95 with modern rosters.
That was a lot of fun. I also installed Pirates! Gold after a day and it was fun to revisit these games from my youth.
I loved the ability to save stats.
However after a couple of days I’ve not really played them again since. It only cost $14 for the Sega controller so it was worth the price. I don’t think I could buy 2 beers at a bar locally for that.
No wonder Homer couldn’t beat Bart at video boxing.
He learned but marge fucking ruined it and then bart never played him again.
Yeah, Marge really did Homer dirty there. There was no reason why she couldn’t wait until after the game was over to tell him about Lisa’s jazz performance.
For me it’s less the attention span thing and more the lack of time
There’s a million things I gave to worry about all pulling me in every direction at the same time
Plus now that my ADHD is actually being addressed it’s way easier to find time for things
Swap the shitty snacks out for something healthier and maybe you’ll have more stamina to play
