I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

My Steam Deck and other game consoles, I have the money to buy them as an adult but I found that I have a fleeting interest at best in actually playing video games these days. At least my kids get some use out of them.
I find a lot of things as an adult arent that I dont have the interest anymore, its that I dont have whole days to pour myself into them anymore.
Thats why a lot of dads I know got super into their yard, grilling and camping.
If I have to do this shit for the family anyway, I might as well make this stuff my hobby
Online gaming used to be fun for me in college. Now with kids I have much less time, so getting good at online games is much harder, making loading up Apex legends for 45 minutes and getting curb stomped a waste of my time.
Yep. I get maybe an hour a week at max to game and it’s usually interrupted constantly so … I just don’t. And I hate that. But the family is worth it. I do a lot more news and Lemmy reading now since I can stop that easily to engage in whatever is going on.
Turn based single player tactical/strategy games became my go-to for when I can game.
I left my pc mid turn once and came back 2 days later.
Some games still tick the box for me and make me enjoy gaming again. It’s usually not the massive triple A titles anymore, though.
