I honestly don’t see how the average working class adult find that time. I feel like gaming is a luxury for rich/middle-class teens.

    Where would I ever get time for that? I don’t have kids but I’m genuinely curious. In-between chores, upskilling and work and S.O., I have absolutely zero time to just sit down and game, and even when I do, I have no energy.

      A significant other should not prevent you from enjoying your hobbies.

      Most of the people I know who don’t have kids and ‘don’t have time for gaming’ in reality just have a significant other who looks down on gaming and makes them feel bad about it when they do.

        Nah my S.O. is down to game and does so more than me because she’s unemployed, but I on the other hand don’t have the time for it.

      I had kids a couple of years ago.

      Before having kids I didn’t really have time for “gaming”, but I did lounge around watching TV for a few hours before sleep.

      Now with kids it’s pretty much the same dynamic, but that few hours down time is interspersed with tending to the kidlets.
