Even with a 40 hour work week, this can be how it ends up. With a 60 hour work week, I'm surprised you can even fit in the cleaning. It's rough. I don't many recommendations anyone else hasn't already mentioned (try to work less hours, which may not be possible). I think you need to, somehow, try to fit in a small window of time that is just for you. Even if it means giving up a small amount of sleep. I had to do this to retain some sanity. I found that trying to prep my meals in batches saved me some time as well. I used to work 40 hours a week on paper, but there was also an hour unpaid lunch and 2-3 hours of daily commute, so I was gone from home 12 hours a day. I've been doing this for 20 years, and the only thing I can say that as the kids get older it gets easier. When they can feed, dress, and entertain themselves, it makes it much easier. Also once they eat adult meals so you aren't making several different things at once. Hang in there man.

I did too, but my Dad ended up buying me one of those tiny handheld TVs with a 1" screen instead. It was more a novelty that anything, it sucked down batteries faster than an actual Game Gear.

The battery life was hilariously bad, it was almost the defining trait. It was made especially prominent since it was being compared to the OG Game Boy which could go 20 hours on four AA batteries. The GG could only go about five, if you were lucky, on six AA. Mine basically lived plugged into the wall with a long extension code so I could use it from anywhere in my bedroom.

This is so fucking crazy, I love it. The fact that they already have a previous model on the market you can buy is so surreal.

That game is better than any new TES game Bethesda has made in ten years. Oh right, they haven't even made a new TES game in time frame. Game is still quite good :)

I didn't know monsters were allow in here.

I imagine they mean the US SMB2 aka Doki Doki Panic. I have actually played the "original" version and the SMB2 game is actually improved in some ways, not just reskinned. While I don't think it is better than SMB3, I think it is a great Mario game, even if not initially intended as one.

SMB3 is peak Mario, but Super Mario World is probably second place.

Hey, we finally agree on something.

This is what I am going to think about every time I am being stubborn and refusing to move until all my demands are met. "I shouldn't back down, I'm Christopher fuckin' Walken!"

I have been using my Sony DS4 gamepad (wired) with no issues, requires no setup. DS5 gamepads also work well, but I had extra DS4 controllers just sitting around. I greatly prefer them to any of the Xbox gamepad personally.
