Finding time for them has become more difficult. The kids dont typically play great games. Its fun to play some things with them but by the 3rd lego game I was done, its so repetitive. I keep playing stuff like that to entertain them, not really to entertain me. Playing more adult games requires setting up a separate space or waiting for kiddos to be in bed, and man I’m too old to stay up so late. I still enjoy them and haven’t grown out of them completely, but in a sense I sort of have just because of competing responsibilities that win the fight for my time.
I feel this, I have a Steam Deck that allows me 30 minutes to an hour of play at a time with the ability to pause and resume games when other responsibilities come up. This allows me the separate space but I can always plug it back in to the TV and play with my children. Of course I play mostly single player games these days so it's not a fit for online multiplayer games.

Fucking Roblox
I tell my son I don't let him play Roblox because of all the exploitive stuff around Robux
But the truth it calling those things Games is cancer, and we have to stop cancer before it spreads.
Fucking REAL. My library continues to grow and my time continues to shrink. Damn the Steam sales
When all the kids are outta the house and you have an empty nest, only then do you find the time.
Yeah. I set up the PS5 next to my work station at home and am on my fourth play through of Cyberpunk. I often play between or even during boring meetings.
