How are you feeling right now (gaming-wise)? (beehaw.org)

I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn't get submitted and I didn't have it saved in copy-paste. It's just so ironically fitting.

So ya, what's something you'd like to ramble a bit about?

I feel super stagnated when it comes to games anymore. I still want to play but I only ever seem to play the same 2 games which are positively ancient now. I have tried to chip away at my backlog, but I will play for one night and then go right back to my comfy games even if I enjoyed it. Then if I want to try again I have to start over from scratch because too much time will have passed and I can't remember the controls or what I was doing, so it's back to the comfy games again because at least I won't get frustrated.

Maybe I need to try some very short games or something? But also maybe I am just being too picky! I look for things that I think would scratch the same itch as my comfy games but haven't found anything that gets close enough (yet!). I just want to have fun why do I have to make this so difficult?! >_<

I'm stuck in that same kind of gaming rut, I think it's because dealing with "being an adult with responsibilities" is a lot more stress than when I first started gaming as a kid. My brain just does not want to learn a new system of rules, and I end up quitting new games halfway through the tutorial.

The couple times I've fought through that feeling, I've found a few new games I really love. So maybe it's a mindset thing. I miss the ease with which I used to lose myself in new passions.

Yeah good point! Come to think of it I got a new game late last year that I thought would have a good shot with pushing through that mental block and then some life stuff got very in the way and I just didn't go back to it and forgot about it until now. I should try that one again now that things are slightly less chaotic.
