How to deal with Video Game Overload

[PhrawzT]

I would agree with much of what everyone else was saying, Take a break and try something else for a bit. My wife and I will binge watch a show for a day or two, or I'll read a book instead. When I do come back, I'll pick out something new, or an old comfort game that I haven't played in years to ease back in before diving into a more time consuming game.

AAA titles aren't all that. Might be the Let's Player side of me speaking but I want to have a reasonable session to where I'm making progress even if it's through power-leveling. I prefer satisfaction than just a rush. I play longer games, sure but I prefer something that makes a session worthwhile in progression than just for some high.

It's been quite a while since I have found a modern mainstream game that really caught my interest. I wanted to like Baldur's Gate 3 so much, but just got bored with it after a few days and went back to the Saturn.

Main reason why I don't deal with video game overload? This:

I bless and curse with free roms avaibility so decided plan what games i play a week ahead like this

Though in my case this is because probably i have such big drive for curiosity and i don't have much change to get into gaming at my childhood

... anyway, on may to download NDS game, AGAIN

This would make me hate gaming forever and any other hobby I enjoy

But you know what they say, to each their own

I'm surprised to see so many people schedule their gaming sessions, I would not enjoy that one bit, I never stick to schedules, I'm very random about what I do through out the day. That would just make the things I enjoy seem like a chore.

As you say, each to his own. I personally would rather have me picked a random game and finish that instead of sticking to a schedule. I noticed that's actually an easy thing to do so I might try it out ... after I finished the games that I've recently started, that is :D
