Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I recently got a job after finishing university, all is good. However, after 5 full days of being behind desk job, I feel a bit exhausted of being behind desk.

Thus my desire to game on PC has soured immensely. Despite having a huge backlog and actually want to finish games.

I’m debating to purchase a Steam Deck OLED in the hope, I can actually play some decent games on there without getting fatigue of desk/ screens but that’s a big investment (€670-700).

So I was wondering; how do the adults of Lemmy with 5 full days of work still get the time and desire to play their games?

Lol...you don't! Welcome to adulthood and having real world responsibilities. For me it's turned into maybe 1-2hrs a night at best. Weekends I can sometimes get a bit more in.

My job is half field based, half desk based. That, and I study part time too, so the simple unhelpful answer is the same: I don't.

Recently I've taken to building a list of five or six games I'm interested in, booking a week or two off work in the summer, buying a month of Game Pass and just hooning through the games, and if I've got any time left then I'll smash through some Doom WADs and that's me.

Otherwise, I try and stay away from screens and try to read or run more.
