Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Late 20s and I have the same. When I work I am often looking forward to play something after work or when I have time. But when I finally have time and want to start, I look at my library, can't decide for something and lose interest.
You might just need to reduce choice anxiety.
Once my library got really big, I would find time to game, but then waste it on figuring how exactly I want to spend the time. End up on youtube or something and not actually get into a game at all.
The solution was to keep just a few games favorited, and forget the rest existed.
When I'm done with a game, it gets unfavorited. When I buy a new game it gets favorited.
If the list gets too short, I might do some spelunking in my library to favorite something from my backlog.
This way, each time I sit down to game, I have a very short list of stuff to start or continue that I might actually manage to pick from.
