I have to pick and choose new games, especially on PS4. I really only play the ones that are interesting to me AND get excellent scores. If I had more time for gaming in general (and if I only played one console/console generation), I'd probably take more risks with so-so games.

The Switch gets most of my time because the portability means I can get extra sessions in at points when a TV-bound console wouldn't work. I've found myself passing on multi-plats lately, thinking, "there might be a Switch port in six months," and it would be a waste to buy on a system I don't have time for.

I also split my playtime between current consoles and retro machines 60/40 in either direction, depending on how good the new releases are at that given moment. There are many, many years of awesome gaming out there. If I'm playing something mediocre, I think to myself: there are decades worth of 9s out there, why am I toiling away at a 6 that I don't even care if I finish?
