it basically only works if the console let's you pause at any time and if the game assumes you have 20 minutes a week every few months to play it

I just play until I get bored or frustrated and then turn it off until I want to again. Sometimes that means I'm cycling back and forth between game and something else every 20 minutes, sometimes it means I have something on my computer installed but never run for six months

for pc games, the problem is the pc itself, probably. it's 12 years old and can't keep up with too many open programs and it has had gone home on it for the last 5 years
