    Yup. Haven’t really gamed much since my 20s which was half a lifetime ago now.

      I still play games frequently, but in MUCH shorter sessions. I’m also gravitating more toward slower strategic/tactical games that can be paused at any time.

        Agreed, it’s easier to jump back into those games, too. One thing I hate is picking a game back up after a week and spending the first 20mins figuring out what I was doing last time.

          I’ve started taking notes. “Next time, I want to start out by doing this or that.”

          Then my only problem is starting the next time and going “Oooh, what about this other thing?” :D

        I did install a Sega Genesis emulator on a old laptop during the Xmas break to play some NHL94 and 95 with modern rosters.

        That was a lot of fun. I also installed Pirates! Gold after a day and it was fun to revisit these games from my youth.

        I loved the ability to save stats.

        However after a couple of days I’ve not really played them again since. It only cost $14 for the Sega controller so it was worth the price. I don’t think I could buy 2 beers at a bar locally for that.
