Getting back into gaming after having kids

Used to be pretty hardcore. Now I play like an hour or two after bedtime when I can. Been working through some older games I missed. There's something nice about low stakes gaming when you're just playing for yourself.

My kids are starting to watch me play which is cool but also weird. They root for me haha. Might get them into gaming when they're older but right now I'm just happy to have that quiet time for myself.

What games are you playing? I've been curious about getting back into stuff too but everything feels so time intensive now.

An hour or two after bedtime is solid though. That's actually realistic with kids. I used to think I needed eight hour gaming sessions to enjoy it but honestly shorter bursts hit different now.

The hardcore gaming life is pretty different when you've got little ones depending on you. But honestly there's something nice about just vibing with a game for an hour after they're down. Low pressure.
