@adamconover I'd replace the "video games" with "*" and then it'd be an incredibly accurate statement. Are we sure capitalism isn't just some joke Loki is playing on us all?

@adamconover Adam ruins my Steam library

@adamconover 😞 no need to be rude

@adamconover I have a large 3-ring binder full of TTRPG campaign ideas. Now to just get 3-5 other adults with jobs, families, and responsibilities in the same room after work once a week for like 3 years

@adamconover Not to mention starting to play one, then life gets in the way, then you come back to it and be like how do I even play this game? What was I doing?? What is anything???

@adamconover Adam ruins delayed gratification.

@adamconover And books and hobby crafts and vegetables

@adamconover I am in this toot, and I don't like it.

@adamconover If you upgrade your adulthood with the insomnia package, you'll always have plenty of time for gaming! 🥳 😶

@adamconover people just give away video games all the time now! good ones! what is happening and why couldn't it have been happening thirty years ago

@adamconover @cassidy my Steam library has over 600 games >_>

@adamconover My to-play list is eight deep but by God I'm going to get there

@adamconover
This but books

@adamconover Well, like any adult thing, gotta put it on the schedule!

@adamconover That's the honest truth.

@adamconover unfortunately I am still broke as shit

@adamconover Or even the desire to play them! No matter how many games I add to my library because they look fun or interesting, when I actually sit down to play a game it's never one of the new ones, it's always one I've already been playing for years.

@adamconover

@adamconover

Worse: having the luxury of getting bored and not even finishing them.

@adamconover My steam library has about 30 or so games and I tend to replay them because not all games are created equal. Much prefer exploration RPGs like Witcher 3, ACOD and story driven games like HZD than the repeated death of souls games

@adamconover Hopefully I can finish some titles this year! 😖🤞

@adamconover I've found once my kids hit university I have more time to play thing although I'm noting one daughter just did her first play through of Stray in a third the time it took me.

@adamconover All this, forever.

@adamconover I think you misspelled " privilege "...

@adamconover

For me, adulthood is having a docket of games which Young!me would have killed to own, but being unable to play any of them because there's this thing in 6 hours which I need to spend 15 minutes preparing for and so instead of doing anything meaningful or enjoyable I'm just going to fixate on that and also neglect to eat or anything.

@adamconover Yes. Absolutely yes. This has been said before but it never stops being true. Lots of us relate to this, not only with games but also books, comics, etc.

In my case, adulthood also means having the technical ability to create everything child me ever wanted (drawing, music, videogames...), with just a small fraction of the time, excitement and focus I had back then. So it's like my dreams came true and crashed down at the same time. Yay?

@adamconover sometimes I sneak in some playtime, though :) It's fun to play some RPGs! Pathfinder Kingmaker is the one I spent a lot of time on last, and it was fun.

@adamconover I feel seen.

@adamconover *ahem* just leaving this here https://steamdb.info/calculator/

@adamconover @garret basically the reason I got a steam deck. It’s easier to pickup and play in more situations

@adamconover You also lost the friends to play with because everyone is so busy.

@adamconover Adulthood is using your brain instead of your wallet.
You can torrent pretty much any game safely with a VPN.
But you're probably proud to spend money instead of using your brain. It's a common flaw of this generation of nincompoops.

@adamconover Or having the time to play them but still just playing Minecraft with the Nomifactory modpack.

Please help me I put in 21 hours over the past 3 days into this modpack

@adamconover
Oh! Hi, Adam! Loved your show!

Keep ruining stuff for us, it's great!
