  • Two games, likely flash, but possibly just JavaScript and stuff. I remember accessing through dedicated webpages.

    One was a puzzle game that had a planet and a bunch of items to place on it. The game let you place each item only once, and the items would have different interactions depending on which order you placed them in. So if you use the seed before the water, it would grow. But if you placed the fan down before the water, it would create a storm which would make the seed grow even more…or something like that.

    The other one was a game where you leveled up like an RPG with stat points, but the stats were just how long or wide your sword is. Power too, I think. Your character followed your mouse cursor, and clicking would swing the sword. You could choose different areas where different monsters with different stats would appear, chasing you, and you could kill them for more experience. Almost a proto Vampire Saviours, I guess

  • I’ve done full-time work and part-time college and still had time for leisure activities. My work weeks were about 60 hours, before getting into errands and such.

    I’m not a parent myself, but my friends who are parents have hobbies and we have social interactions and meetups. Sometimes with their kids present, sometimes without.

    I can’t speak to your situation. Maybe you are incredibly busy. Either way everyone on Earth gets the same 24 hours per day. And while I was lucky enough to be born in North America, I wasn’t born into any sort of extravagance.

    Plenty of people have to plan and schedule leisure activity, including gaming. And there are plenty of options if you only have time for quick bursts here or there. Puzzle games and turn-based games are great for that.
