I too don't have time to play all the games that I want to play and I find myself like you, putting most of the games I play on easy mode. Though I still play Normal or hard sometimes...

For example I play Mega Man legacy collection without using the save state, (I might save between levels but I haven't completed any yet.) I want to know how far I can reach in this short but hard game.

So I am now a casual player, that my past self would have frowned upon.

So on the point.
