Older gamers?

[mgoblue]

Before I was married I would spend/waste so much money on games, buying stuff new I wouldn't really play, etc.

Now I'm cheap, but Game Pass is pretty cool, and I just get digital games as they go on sale slowly. Since I don't have as much time, i get stuff later and save money that way, not having to be cutting edge.

I spend an ungodly amount of time playing most of those. Fallout NV is my favorite at the moment.

Moved to Missouri - and had a bad experience & situation. Ended up leaving and now live in Indiana. I'm in a state of flux & confusion about what to do next in life. I turned down a great situation after everything was finalized. I won't bore you with all the reasons why - a couple I can pinpoint, but there are other deep-heart reasons I guess I just can't explain. If any of you are the praying types here, I'd appreciate it. There is something potentially on the horizon that I don't want to go into here, but might be that which I've hoped for my entire life. I've already provided some materials to those who will be making some decisions in the near future. Will take patience and some time - which I have and actually want because of our other 3 kids (2 boys - a jr. (age 16), a soph. (age 15) and our 8th grade daughter (age 14) - yes, we bunched them up LOL! Personally, I play video games as a release. I have an original xbox, 360 & ps4. I gave my XboxOne to one of our boys as I just didn't find it all that necessary in my life. I mostly play MLB The Show 18 and NBA 2K11 - classic roster files. I consider myself a together type of person. Pretty strong. I don't need much and I'm low maintenance. My wife has struggled. I get it. She comes from a screwed up family, so even on her best days I knew she needed special patience and a sense of tenderness. I don't really have any "friends" - trust me, ministry life doesn't lend itself to that. So I've had to find my way through things pretty much on my own, but I'm cool with that. I accept things as they are. My faith is strong. I don't say much because the truth is, people don't understand. It's a path you have to walk, and I don't want to burden others. I don't want pity. I'm not a victim. But I would really like for this potential next ministry step to come together - just for once in my life I'd like to have something happen FOR ME - not for selfish reasons, but because I would be able to give all I have to this opportunity. It would be a tremendous challenge and come with some difficulties - it's not about something bigger or paying better...it's just personal to me. Maybe one day I can explain... I've done a ton of roster stuff here at OS. I like this community. It's changed over time, but most do when new people come along. Reading some of the stories here are refreshing because I've often wonder if I'm some weird dude who can't give this stuff up. I'm not ultra-consumed with it like I was a few short years ago. But I still enjoy it. Appreciate you guys sharing your stories.

Hi my friend. So sorry for your loss. I too was a pastor for many years. I got burned out and left the ministry. I'll be praying for you that God's will would be done for you and your family.
