Absolutely. I’m a dad now and I still play video games. Usually FPS like COD, because strategy games (LoL, Diablo, etc). take too long and I don’t have as much free time anymore with a kid.

 

For a long time, I couldn’t play single-player games with a story and only played online. But I recently completed RDR2 and played more than 60 hours and I’m already thinking about what to start next. Keep an eye death stranding or guardians of the galaxy

 

God of War, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, Witcher 3, Skyrim, Batman Arkham series are all elite

 

I played red dead redemption from 2018 when I was in HS to 2022 and I have over 400 hrs over 4 playthroughs. Great game, greatest game.

 

EU4 but cannot understand Stellaris for the life of me I’m retarded

 

EU4 is annoying because it has an absurd amount of DLCs. $300 worth. Great game besides that though.

Yea but I’ve been playing video games in my free time heavily for the past 5-10 years (had parents that didn’t limited tech when I was a kid so went the opposite way once I had the freedom) and have recently been trying to find other things to do. I like competitive gaming (normal modes bore me) but when I lose now it’s depressing and when I win I’m barely happier.

But I do still find myself falling back to gaming when I’m bored and want to mindlessly pass the time. I’ve always been a League degen, play OSRS casually, a bit of Apex, and sometimes random popular Steam games (played Palworld for a week or two). Only mobile game I dable in is CoC.

 

Got back into OSRS last summer. I wish the game was more social and had less bots. If it did, I would play it more. Now I play it probably 2-3 times a month. Have a level 80 something in F2P.

 

I had no idea that Carlyle owed Jagex and sold it to CVC this year. For some reason (and may have been true in the past) I thought it was owned by some random Chinese PE firm. It’s a pretty cool investment - if I were to choose a video game company to invest in it would probably be Jagex (limited number of games to inflate valuation, extremely loyal/long term player base, straightforward business model today with opportunities for long term growth). Definitely over WoW/Blizzard.

 

I have no clue how anyone can get home from spending 12 hours a day on the computer, and want to fire up a different computer to play games on it. I'm only on my computer for about 3-5 hours a day, and I still have no interest in spending more time on the screen

you literally went on a computer to post this.

GT7 on my PS5.  It lets me do everything I can't do IRL with my sportscar.   other than that we mostly use it as a server to put crappy vlogs on the TV (not my choice)

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

I think I would start playing more games once I move in and set up the Xbox with a TV etc. But nowadays the updates and installations take way too long - the next COD/GTA installation will probably mean you have no free time during the week to properly start it

I recently started using my PS4 again to play whatever games are still supported like OW2. I was pissed when I found the latest Madden for PS4 don’t have any of the new features.

At what point is it worthwhile to upgrade to the PS5? I really don’t play much but would still like to play games occasionally.

Like 2-3 years ago. 
 

But at this point, just hang on until end of this year/early next when the PS5 Pro drops
