How Has Growing Up Impacted Your Gaming?

I find myself not playing games as much, now that I've got a job, college, and other hobbies to balance. I also tend to stick to fighting games a lot more now, playing those with my friends when we hang out. Of course, I always find myself picking up some other genres during my spare time too, but I usually end up dropping them after a while.

I've had a revival of playing games these past few years. From 2009-2012 is when I lost interest in gaming. I often talked about it more on forums like this than actually playing games.

But, ever since 2013, I've gradually been getting more and more into gaming. Right now, I'd say I spend 2 hours a night on gaming if I have time. More on Friday and Saturday nights.

Having money of my own nowadays also helps. My parents were always super stringy about buying games, so I never owned too many as a kid. Now I've branched out more in my gaming tastes.
