'should' give up but yeah as an adult you just have way less time. Work long hours, commute time, taking care of yourself, any pets and your place, significant other, then eventually kids.
I've been playing Umamusume and just getting crushed in pvp (partially because of bad deck but also because of time). Content creators say "you don't need to beat the whales, you just need to beat the tired dads who come home and can barely play" and while I'm not a parent, I took that damage in the soul.
