Yeah, the games are decent but I feel like they re-iterate each other. How many games are set in a wasteland? How many are zombie games? How many include vampires? You can make entire video lists out of 'em. And I think that's my problem: they're decent but they don't have my particular flavor or style.

Idk. I could be wrong. There's much to find out.

It might help to go watch some game trailers, or read or watch reviews about games, that sort of thing. If you can get hyped about wanting to play a game, it might help getting over the hump of getting into the groove. That, and sometimes you just have to grind it out a bit. It’s like when you want to read a book but don’t have the motivation, sometimes you have to just commit to giving it five minutes, and if you don’t want to keep going after that, you stop and take a run at it another time. Often I need to play a game for a bit before it clicks, get a sense of the mechanics, pacing, and overall feel. I’ve bounced off of a number of great games the first couple times trying to play, only to get sucked in properly on a subsequent attempt. It can be hard to get to the other side of that hump when the whole reason you want to play a game in the first place is to escape the feeling of being frustrated and unmotivated, but that initial phase is sometimes the investment required to get to the fun and engagement.

Very much agreed. I definitely need to find ways to be hyped and stay hyped. Alternatively, I can give myself a break.
