Or they realize it's a huge waste of time. I don't really respect people that can waste that much time on any form of entertainment, but to each their own.


What you do with your leisure time?

Depends on the game and context. I’ll watch some tips and such or if there are some hilarious clips out there, but I would never spend hours of my of my day/week just watching someone do a play through or whatever random rpg nonsense just came out.

This is very true. However, Millennials were the first generation of Americans to play video games en masse.

Doesn't Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire always push this plus grown men shouldn't watch sports?


I play them when it's raining outside or I have no projects to work on. Also when I'm WFH and just waiting around on phone calls. It's only a problem if you're neglecting your health, wife, house, yard, etc. It's a great cheap way to kill a few hours.

It's a matter of free time for me. Just don't seem to have enough, especially with a 9 month old. I'm sure it will ease as he gets older and becomes more independent; but there is little to zero time for video games with our current schedule unless I stay up late. And staying up late doesn't work well anymore when our morning starts when the kiddo says it does (usually around 5-5:30).

I’m in my early 30s. I have 3 kids. I make over 150k. When I was a new dad I gave up gaming for about 7 years.

You better believe I play the shite out of some games these days.

I have not played a video game in over 5+ years until this week……I’ve been kicking my son’s arse in NCAA25 and he has no clue how I’m still capable of doing it.

I know several men in their 30s-40s with wives and kids and they WISH they could still play video games but haven't been able to in years. You are only 22. You have no idea how your free time will be sucked away until it is non-existent. It's not a matter of time management, it's a matter of priorities.


Do you watch sports?

What if me and my daughter play games together?

I'm in my 40s and haven't played video games in about 15 years, but NCAA 25 and the prospect of GTA 6 has me wanting to buy a PS5. Most TV sucks these days, movies are shite for the most part; I could use a new form of entertainment.

No.

For one thing, both Walsh and his wife are die hard Baltimore Ravens fans.

I can't judge, I just watched two men play 18 holes of golf on YouTube. Granted it was Bryson and Trump but still. I can see the appeal of watching people do something you yourself enjoy doing.

I’m 40 and I still play PlayStation from time to time. Grew up playing ncaa football on PS and will continue to ! As long as I don’t have obligations or responsibilities ahead of it, why not?
