There are a lot of games in my library that are unfinished because I cannot bring myself to open the game and finish them. That’s usually caused by feeling like I’ve seen everything a game has to offer.

Sometimes I just don’t finish a game because I don’t wanna get that post-lifechanging story depression. Happens every time I find a game that I love. Currently needing to finish Dishonored 2 and Control

The need to finish my backlog is also something that fucks with my enjoyment of some games too. Understanding you’re allowed to put it down and never play it again is also valid. Go watch the synopsis on YouTube if it has one after.

When you get old you have way less time to slog through the mediocre games like you did as a child. They also get more apparent when you play nothing but primo games with mids in your favorite genres.

Sometimes, you just gotta enjoy your CoD, D4, PalWorld, LoL, Slice of Life, idle, etc. You don’t need the next best thing in gaming every time.

Fwiw I also watch a lot of Fully Ramblomatic since what feels like high school two decades ago lol.

i saw a post once talking about how people think they had more energy when they were younger, but it’s actually because they now using more time and energy to take care of themselves. i’d like to believe that’s true
