oof one-in, one-out works for me: i dont buy anything new until i finish or consciously drop something. It turns buying into a reward instead of a habit. lmk how it goes

    help!! honest talk: I love long RPGs, but I almost never finish them. I keep quitting right before the ending, and my backlog is now a backlog of over 100 games. How do you decide what to play, and do you feel bad about dropping a game halfway? Sometimes I think I enjoy buying and planning more than actually playing. That cant be healthy for a hobby. How do you keep gaming fun and not a chore? Any honest stories are welcome, including the failures.

    ahh classic keep only two or three games installed at a time: something long, something short and something to play with friends. Fewer choices means less decision paralysis.

    oof wishlist instead of buying on sale. Most things go on sale again, and ull often notice youve lost interest by then. lmk how it goes

    oh ive been there lol write a quick note when you stop playing a game: where u were and what you were doing. It makes retunring to long games much easier. fingers crossed 馃

    ok so check average completion times before starting. alternating long puzzle games with shorter games gives you a sense of progress.

    hmmm give yourself permission to drop games lol If a game hasnt hooked you after a couple of sessions, uninstall it. Life is short and the backlog isnt an obligation. worked for me anyway 馃し
