Poll of the Day > Now that I'm an adult, all I do is play games.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like I was so career/academic focused from middle school until my first couple of years on the job. But have been doing more fun stuff lately.

Now I have board game nights in-person 2-3 times a week (different people each night) and with video/board games with other IRL friends but online 2-3 nights a week and Ill usually get 2-3 nights a week rest from games where Ill usually just read about games and gets in a couple online games with strangers or maybe work on a solo game (board or video) or do something my girlfriend wants to go do, but she usually likes just staying home and watching the stories in single player games or watching tv. I still feel way more casual though and out of the loop compared to my friends into games.

I dont know what busy people actually do to make themselves busy. Im 31, for reference.

Seriously I feel like I exhaust myself keeping my living space on the border of complete shithole, I can't imagine the dedication it takes to keep a place actually spotless.

The key is to marry a neurotic clean freak and let them do it.

The downside, of course, is being married to a neurotic clean freak.

What are the positives to marrying a paranoid obsessive person?

Not gonna lie, this is the sole reason my place is as clean as it is (though without the marriage part). Every week, it's a full clean of the bathroom, kitchen (including taking the burners apart and cleaning them), floors (vacuum and mop), all linens, and every surface, with a mid-week vacuum and a nightly kitchen wipedown. She's 100% got some manner of OCD or related disorder that's gone undiagnosed/untreated, and it gets bothersome sometimes, but it does keep the place tidy.

Luckily, thats not something I have to worry about, either That said, it seems like a downside when giving, as well Haha

I might have like a 5 week period without a night that didn't go to gaming with others, mostly in person.

I used to go 5 weeks between doing stuff with people at times.

Being an adult is weird. But I wonder if I'm just going to be wasting my 30s on relationships that I won't keep from eventually moving.

Maybe we need a kid or else we'll feel empty later in life. idk

It's a hobby. You're interacting with people, which is something not a lot people claim to do anymore.

If you have a job and are bringing in money, there's no harm done.
