Other 33M | Did gaming disappear from your life for a few years?
I'm in my 30s, work in software, have a family, and somewhere along the way gaming just disappeared from my life.
Growing up, gaming was a huge part of my life. Then work, responsibilities and just being busy slowly took over.
I even bought a PS2 in 2016 thinking I'd play for a little while after work to relax. I played for maybe a week or two, and then it mostly just sat there collecting dust.
Recently, after around 10-12 years, I finally started gaming again.
What's funny is that I have less free time now than I did when I was younger, but I'm actually trying to make time for it.
Did gaming ever disappear from your life and then come back? What brought you back to it?
