I'm trying to play some earthbound every day because it seems that the second I put a hobby on the back burner it is DEAD TO ME according to my brain

this was my downfall with many rpgs.. metroidvanias... hell even a lot of shows which is why I don't watch many or fall off after hiatus

I put a game down for juuust too long for me to remember what I was doing and it's like oops, well, guess I'll maybe try again in a few years

anything that involved I gotta power through and hope I don't get stupid busy

e: hell, it even happened twice specifically to earthbound like 5 years apart, and I still never finished it

THANK YOU NESAM :^))

yup.
same with Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma, any of the Dark Souls games, lots of RPGs...

Fighting games are a total no-go, same with anything that has involved control schemes or battle systems...

I really only have the attention span for F-Zero 99 nowadays. 3 minute races. Before that it was Red Dead Redemption 2 but I was mostly birdwatching and exploring and also only ever played on edibles.

still beat it tho

thanks deep dish peat moss and big black turnout!!

Better than I managed. I don't think I've ever finished a Rockstar game since GTA3. They're amazing worlds, but eventually I get to a point of there being too much to do and I forgot what priority is what, where I am in the story, what the story even is, what I'm trying to accomplish, oh well I guess I'll just wander around and explore, get bored of that and stop playing.

no worries friend

also I'm playing the outer worlds! (space new vegas) It's better than people said at the time. It's pretty clear that the Fallout designers (Tim Cain and the other guy) made this game, because it's Fallout as hell

ive been meaning to give this another shot, especially since i got the spacers choice version for free on epic

I finally finished BG3. I was going to jump right in with a new campaign, but, actually no. I'm good. Satisfied. The two endings I chose to do were an excellent end to the story. I'll put it on the shelf for a while.

I've decided to stop playing Void Stranger for a week. I just managed to complete a full run without the VOID status for the first time. Intense.

Swordsman VR is a kind of fun for about 20 minutes before the motion sickness kicks in. I could see it getting really boring and repetitive but thankfully/unfortunately I get to the point where I have to take the goggles off before I get there.
Fantavision 2020 VR mode is chill AF and reminds me of playing OG Fantavision on drugs back in the day.

i picked up my last save where I leaned into being a drug-addled superstar and a money-grubbing ultraliberal

got to the tribunal at the end of day 5 (i think?). oh my god that was stressful

EVIL Gibson: Internet of Things is just someone else's computer that people can't help attaching cameras and door locks to!

I used to play long games and complete them. Planescape Torment, Baldurs Gate 1 and 2. Puybso much time into EverQuest, Star Wars Galaxies, EverQuest 2, and WoW.

Now I play a game where I'm a network engineer robotman underground for hours trying to make the perfect packet filter to get those bits per second up for $$$$

There are monsters in this game too, but I turn that off because I just only care about making those bit rates stay above dial up rates.

ToastGhost: 20% cooler

I'm not touching Elden Ring until I beat the Dark Souls 3 DLCs and Sekiro, but I have only myself to blame. I'm so out of practice I had to start a new file on both of them. Oh well, that just means more souls for the taking.
