Getting back into gaming after 10 years

B

May 111 min read

Picked up a PS5 and been playing Elden Ring at like 11pm after the kids are down. I'm terrible but having so much fun being challenged again. My hands hurt and I'm constantly getting destroyed by the same bosses but there's something about problem solving that makes my brain feel alive again. Any recommendations for games that aren't too story heavy? I only get like an hour a night to play.

That's awesome you found something fun again. I'd probably just fall asleep holding the controller at 11pm these days, but I respect the grind. Enjoy the challenge while you can stay awake for it.

Man, I feel this. Getting back into something challenging that's just for you is huge when you're in the thick of parenting. Even if you're getting destroyed in Elden Ring, you're winning at giving yourself a real outlet.

Dude, that late night gaming after the kids crash is peak dad time. Elden Ring will humble you real quick but that's what makes it so addictive. Your hands will get used to it after a few weeks, trust me.
