I don't have time, nor the will to put hundreds of hours into games that don't leave me feeling like I've accomplished something. I've had a lot of personal reflection time recently, and I have wasted a lot of my life being entertained, instead of *doing* something with that time. I haven't looked at how much time I put into Destiny, but I really don't think I want to know either. I got sucked into a game with no story and not much value/time ratio, and that's over now. This kind of game, while fun in spurts, is just not for me at this stage of my life.

I'll play Fallout 4, Halo 5, and probably Star Wars Battlefront, but even that seems like a pretty big time sink that I don't know if I can justify. Growing up is hard to do :) Doesn't mean I'm giving up games completely (come on, that would be pretty ridiculous), but I will be much more judicious about my time going forward.

Time is the only currency that really matters in life.
