What is it like to be an adult gamer?

Video games is a very wide world where you can get different people of different ages, cultures and many more things, because always in a meeting of gamers you will see really incredible things, one of the most shocking is to get older people or adults in this great hobby, however, the life of this type of gamers is not easy because of a very important factor called time.

When we are children and we don't have any kind of responsibilities life is a world full of surprises, every day you learn new things. For my part I always wanted to play sports, but for some reason my mother never supported me in that, to calm my anxiety she decided to give me something that I still keep with great affection, a Nintendo Entertainment System.

Those memories where they only let me play on weekends are very valuable, I only had 4 titles on that console and I played them so many times that I learned each of their levels by heart, then the years went by, my vice with video games was increasing as well as computers, thanks to this I studied many things that today are part of my economic stability.

There comes a time when you reach an age and you start to have responsibilities, including going to work and study at the same time, having to buy things for the home, among others, while you want to buy and play several video games that catch your attention, however, there is a problem that I mentioned at the beginning, time, which does not allow you to enjoy any video game extensively.

When I was young I used to wake up easily playing any title, as well as with my friends in the longed games of Half-Life and diablo 2, but due to different occupations that you choose as you grow up, you stop earlier and your energies get weaker as the day goes by, producing that at night you are tired, so much that you fall asleep with the controller in your hand.

When you have a little time to clear your mind and decide to play a few games of an online video game, what happens is that many of your anxieties or frustrations are transmitted in the game, making a kind of instability and not being able to play properly or correctly. It is also the case of RPG games where you need a long time to complete them, these usually have to dedicate at least 100 hours to be able to reach to see various aspects and scenes of the game, others cover 300 hours, this sounds very attractive, but when the time factor enters our lives, it seems that it would be endless to see the end.

In my case I do not have children, but I have friends who have them, they were pure gamers, they spent hundreds of hours playing any video game, but the time and dedication they must give to their children do not allow them to enjoy that same way of yesteryear, there are simply more responsibilities that shorten those little moments where we can play.

Despite all this, there is something that all experienced gamers of age can say, and that is that we have seen a great part of the history of video games, the evolution of consoles, how companies came to an end and were never seen manufacturing consoles or developing video games, also being able to play and observe the first revolutionary and famous games, the first steps of online titles, and many more things that make us a bible about this wonderful universe.

If you are one of those people who don't have much time and are always looking for a little space to play, tell us in the comments section how you felt when you were young and what the difference is today.
