No time to survive make your time

One of the things I've been doing this past week to distract myself from my sore throat (I don't think I'm actually getting sick here but I don't want to take any chances) has been to go through my old video game collection here and just play a large variety of games. I can't say that I hadn't expected my video gaming skills to have deteriorated somewhat, but good grief do I suck now. I'm looking at my old save files and high scores here and wondering just how in the hell I ever did any of that stuff.
This was only to be expected given how intense my schooling has gotten in recent years, I know, but I suppose what bothers me the most is knowing that, in all likelihood, I'll never have the time or dedication to play video games as well as I used to ever again. I've got too much grown-up stuff to do now as it is, and of course that will multiply exponentially once I get a good-paying job and move into my own place.
I don't think I can adequately convey to you just how depressing this is to me. I think I'm going to go string myself up with one of my old NES controllers ...
