Sometimes we just want to chill and not have to focus!
minus-squareDariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·15 hours agoClearly, sometimes watching a TV show or a Youtube video is way less demanding than gaming. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s my reality. I also know that I really love immersing myself into story driven games, so playing a few minutes before cooking the meal isn’t an option.
