    I generally don’t play the same game consistently and rarely spend more than 40 hours (usually 10-15) in a given game. For most of the games I spend more time in, it’s either mouse driven (most strategy games) or I use a controller (most third person/top down games). And for the few I play that use WASD, my kids also play on my computer (e.g. Minecraft).

    So I just don’t edit keybindings very often. I actually sometimes avoid playing WASD games because fixing the keys is a pain, especially when some games don’t update the in-game hints or don’t warm when there’s a collision (silently unbinds the key). It’s annoying and I don’t understand why it was ever a thing.

      Takes thousands of hours just to git gud! I play for the sense of fluency and control that only comes with extending your sense of body and self into the game world. I play strategy games to relax, but I play my mains to channel the torrents of energy swirling around in my head.

        Lol, I used to be that way. But now I have kids and don’t have hours to git gud anymore, so I go for variety of experience instead of depth, except for a handful of strategy games I really like (Paradox games mostly).

            🙁

            That said, I’m probably getting a vasectomy soonish, because we’ve definitely had our fill.

              I really love my vasectomy. You’ll kick yourself you didn’t do it sooner. (No sooner than your last child, I hope.)
