This is one of those games that I would have chewed on all summer back when I didn’t have responsibilities to tend to.

To those who might consider themselves “well-rounded” with careers and families and sports etc. Does that magic and sense of free time to dig deep into something ever come back?

Not for me. After going through the Switch (perfectly designed for people like me, by being a main console that's also portable), the Steam Deck (finally being able to play those Windows games on Linux, _and_ take it with me), and a few of those Chinese portable emulators like the RG35XX (maybe if I play the games I already love? ...), I finally admit defeat.

It wasn't the games, or even the time, it was my age. That's gone now, and I'm finally admitting it to myself.

I think the grown up version of gaming is coding. It's tackles the things I enjoyed, but in a more mature way.
