The need to finish my backlog is also something that fucks with my enjoyment of some games too. Understanding you’re allowed to put it down and never play it again is also valid. Go watch the synopsis on YouTube if it has one after.
When you get old you have way less time to slog through the mediocre games like you did as a child. They also get more apparent when you play nothing but primo games with mids in your favorite genres.
Sometimes, you just gotta enjoy your CoD, D4, PalWorld, LoL, Slice of Life, idle, etc. You don’t need the next best thing in gaming every time.
Fwiw I also watch a lot of Fully Ramblomatic since what feels like high school two decades ago lol.
