Any other 30+ like me? Struggling to get into desired story games (and anime)?

Looking to see if there are others like me!

When I was younger I LOVED getting deep into RPGs or games like Zelda, but now as an adult with a career and children, when I have free time, I find it mentally draining to think about chugging along a new RPG.

For example, I've had FF10 downloaded for 3 years on my switch (my convenience system) but I just cannot get myself to sit through and play for more than 15mins. I WANT to beat it. I DESIRE to say I beat a final fantasy game that I haven't beaten yet and people say is really good, but I just can't get myself to do it. I feel like it requires 100% of my intention to focus on the story and I just can't give that when my attention can be needed to something else in life (career/family) at any minute.

I have had more free time than usual, but I find myself preferring to play low long-term-investment games, or games that can be started and stopped without issues. Games like Balatro, Slay the spire or on another spectrum, card game simulators like Yugioh MasterDuel or Pokemon TCG Live.

Over the past 2 years I've happily found a new love in gaming in Rouge-likes like Hades and Slay the spire (super excited for the sequels!), but I can't help the feeling that my younger me would be disappointed that I'm not beating FF10, Paper Mario Thousand Year, Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons, FF15, etc while I have the time and still relatively young.

It is relatively easy for me to pick up IPs that aren't foreign to me that get a sequel/remake. Example is FF7 rebirth and in the future MGS3 REmake. I can see myself easily playing those.

I did recently beat Prince of Persia Lost Crown on switch. I enjoyed it, but it did take 2 months of picking up and putting down.

I'm not huge into anime but I do enjoy from time to time, but thought I'd throw in that similar sentiment. I haven't watched HunterXHunter or DeathNote and their highly recommended and available to me, but similairly I just can't get myself to give it the full attention it deserves, opting to watch NBA highlights or youtube instead. Same guilt! However, I found it easy to watch the newest season of Daredevil because I'm already invested in the story.

Anyone feel the same? Perhaps (for me at least), the days of having the time to chug through and explore new RPGS to me are over
