I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn't get submitted and I didn't have it saved in copy-paste. It's just so ironically fitting.

So ya, what's something you'd like to ramble a bit about?

I'm the same with basically 2-3 games but I recently made a bold decision to actually start playing something I bought recently (Hitman 3) and I'm having a great time with it! Idk if you experience the same but I get this anxiety at playing something other than my comfort games, but honestly it's been very nice to play something new for once :) so I really recommend to just give something else a try and really commit to it.

Yes, idk if it is anxiety exactly but I definitely find it stressful and discombobulating. But having the backlog sitting there looking at me is also stressful! Probably I need to take pressure off and just try to chill out with a new game, which is sort of the approach I have with drawing, like if I remove the pressure to be instantly good at it and let myself be terrible at it, it actually is a lot more fun for me and I will do it more often.
