This year I turn 40 and beside the usual "I have less time to play because work and life" I have noticed there are some rules I abide by as a gamer, only recently though.
for example, I won't go for subsequent "just for fun" playthroughs of big adventure games I have already finished.
the reason is literally "I am running out of time" in life and I wanna experience more of the medium. I'd love to replay Bloodborne or TLOU, not gonna happen. I may do quick speed runs for a trophies or so but at most I will play the NES mini games when I just want to chill.
I also avoid games that are huge time-sinks according to the internet, like some RPGs (Pokemon, Xenoblades, Witcher)
Multiplayer games... I avoid them to, they just have no end.
how about you?
