I love games that encourage me to do things unexpected instead of hitting me with a stick for not doing the expected.
That's really nicely bringing it to a point.
I think I'm on a similar track. I kind of want to keep playing Hades but at some point doing it over and over again became a chore and I stopped playing although I really like the story and think it's a really good game. And on the same level I keep procrastinating Elden Ring although it might really be enjoyable in some ways.
Few years ago I found medlars (German: Mispel) in my local grocery store. Had never seen them before. They look somewhat like apricots but taste like a mix of other fruits. Really tasty for a not so popular fruit. It's cool to make such a discovery. :)
