I enjoyed more long-form content when I had the time.

I can't imagine having 10 hours on a Saturday to just "waste" on playing through XWing, no matter how much In want to. Retirement is looking pretty attractive.

There's a lot of middle ground between doom-scrolling type content and a 10 hour block of non-stop immersion. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

> I definitely enjoyed more long-form content (like the mentioned games) 10-20 years ago.

On a chat about OpenTIE, and OpenXWA, I was talking to this. I used to be able to dive into several hours of a simulation game.

My kids are able to play Minecraft, Stardew Valley, or other immersive games.

I can't because of many reasons, and I was just saying that I'm looking forward to a time when I'll kick them out the house, tell my boss that I'm done, and strap on a VR headset and finally play through Star Wars Squadrons.
