Have you started playing more or less as you've gotten older?

When I was younger, I could spend entire weekends gaming without even noticing the time. These days I still enjoy games, but I definitely play less than I used to. Is it because of work and responsibilities, or do our gaming habits simply change with age? Curious to hear how it's been for everyone else.

Definitely less, but I think the bigger change is how I play. When I was younger, I had no problem spending 5–6 hours in a single session. Now I usually look for games that I can enjoy in shorter bursts after work.

That's actually why I ended up trying the Chicken Road app. It's simple to jump into, doesn't require a huge time commitment, and runs smoothly on mobile. I found it through the Chicken Road download page: https://chickenroad.run/en/download/ and have been using it on and off during breaks. These days I'd rather have a game that's easy to pick up for 10–15 minutes than another massive title with a 100-hour commitment.

For me it's less about age and more about priorities. I actually have a bigger game library now than I did when I was younger, but much less time to enjoy it. The funny part is that when I do find a game that really clicks, I can still lose an entire evening without realizing it. So I don't think the passion disappears—it just becomes more selective.
