Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

its almost exactly the second one, i really really want to play my singleplayer games and i know they're fun and i do enjoy them, but i just can't really get into it or even start at all. maybe i need to watch less youtube
I feel it's like reading a book. While I am, like everybody else, inclined toward the path of no resistance, I always end up having fun playing a new game. Starting a new game always feel a bit like a chore, but it always end up clicking to the point I keep thinking about the game and looking forward to play it.
Sometimes just going for a 15 minute walk can help a bunch. Thinking about something you want to do without digital distractions can make it a lot easier to get into when you get back.
ooo thats true, maybe ill try something like that, also my backlog is huge and i have too many consoles (im not tryna flex this is for info)
