Nah. That’s nonsense.
A career? Fuck that noise, statistically you will never make enough to make the effort worth it, get a job that offers you what you need and doesn’t demand more bullshit from you (although i understand some places just won’t let this happen). Family? Frankly i think having kids is a mistake regardless, but once they are old enough you shouldn’t be a helicopter parent anyway. A partner? Good partners let you have some time for yourself and your hobbies (and that goes both ways!).
There is just something about coq that feels bad. I play CDDA, i play elona, i dabble in DF, and i play the heck out of kenshi, but coq just doesn’t click. Maybe it’s the UI, maybe the game just doesn’t feel as deep or as rewarding to explore.
