That’s nothing to feel guilty about as long as you’re not neglecting trying to find a job and self improvement. Your 20s are rough, all opportunities available are pretty shitty and exploit your energy and inexperience. Videogames are a great way to stay sane during this.
@kandoh I know my career path is right there with Video Editing I just seem to end up doing games over editing and it’s something that I will most likely have to seek professional help in the future for.
I can maybe squeeze in an hour of gaming every third day if I am efficient (work and household stuff) and lucky. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just there are many games I want to experience so I have to be very selective.
@kandoh That’s what I’m normally like for bigger games but then I always find some game that can just fill up my time to the point I’ve paid twice the amount of time the ‘Big’ game would have.

When you get older it gets harder and harder to play video games frequently.

For me, it’s that a game is a big time and energy investment. I’m hesitant to jump in.

I had this happen with me for Hearthstone. It’s so easy and quick to play that it ends up taking up a huge chunk of time.
Once I stopped playing it though, nothing else could really fill the void. So my playtime decreased and never really recovered
