do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used to be I couldn’t wait to see what happened in the story, what new items you could collect, what new worlds the developers had created. Not anymore. I return to playing the same franchise for a quick FPS match or three and then I’m done.

As I get older I find I have to know what I like and spend extra time selecting titles because I know that I won't be buying that many games because I don't have time to play all that much. I buy what I know I will like and that way I will finish it. I don't want to feel like I've wasted time.

Sometimes I jump back and replay games that I really enjoyed. Even like an MMO, I'll reactive my character after years of not playing.ast game I bought was Witcher 3 on Steam sale. Will be buying Cities 2 this week, after waiting for it for years and years.

I'm excited for Cities 2 as well but keep reading its poorly optimized. Let's hope not 🤞

It'll come around. I'm okay with it.
