Folks,there aresomany incredible games out there right now.
I am freaking drowning.
And its my fault.
Because I really need to stop trying to stuff in every good game.
I need to stop right now.
Im glad there are a lot of good games out there!
Im glad I can spend20 hours pretending to be a pirate in Hawaii.
Im excited I canspend 30 hours exploring the Living Lands.
Its good, actually, I canspend 50 hours building and re-building museums.
Sure, not all of my favorite releases this year take dozens of hours.
But when there are also dozens of great titles that takejust a fewhours, that itself also adds up.
Im losing out on goodness by trying to do a complete 2025 run on greatness.
Its like Im at a fancy buffet at a fancy hotel.
Lots to eat and drink!
Everything on offer is high quality!
There are no wrong choices!
But, from another angle, when youre a broken person, that feels likeeverythingis the wrong choice.
No matter what Im choosing to focus on, it means Imnotfocusing on something else good.
Im trying too hard to shove them all on my plate and theyre running into each other.
and also, Youre paying for this service, you better grabeverythingin here and squeeze your moneys worth out!
Oh no, that just reminded me Ive got a fullAtomfallrun that Ive left behind.
Maybe afterDoom: The Dark Ages.
Yes, thats what Ill do.
Its FOMO, and not even social FOMO where Im doing it so I can fit in with people.
I cant emphasize enough just how few friends I have.
Rather, I know that all of these games areso goodthat I want to play all of them.
I wish things were different, but here we are.
And, hey, Ive been considering finally starting a play ofKingdom Come: Deliverance 2!
Ive got no time to finish it!
Im still not done with most of the other stuff!
Its For The Greater Good
The thing is, I like supporting games.
I dont mean that cynically.
I appreciate when - even if downloaded on Game Pass - my participation has helped a developer succeed.
And I do want more games like Expedition 33.
Probably should get that, too, because I like what theyre doing over there with games preservation.
You see how these problems add up?
You see what Im doing to myself?
Ivementioned this problem with Steam sales.
I want too much.
I get too much and Im the only one who suffers for my financial idiocy.
I come from a family of hoarders.
But this is less about spending money than it is just my desperation to enjoyeverything.
There is so much quality.
And there are lots of great games that arent even in my general area of interest.
But for the things I do love, I need to stop trying to stuff in every good game.
I need to focus up.
Its great there are so many great games.
But I need to finishSplit Fiction.
I need to get to the end ofAvowed.
I need to get past just the earliest of endings in Blue Prince.
