I started up my PC to play BG3 again, and have just been distracted by everything else instead.
Finally sitting down now. In the time it has taken me to traverse Act 2, my partner has completed 3 playthrough π sometimes I hate that I cannot concentrate on games or hobbies for as long as I used to. Ugh
You and me both. It's like... why is this so hard to stick at? It's a leisure activity!
I have suspicions and theories as to why I'm like this, but I certainly require a therapist to help with unravelling it all.
We can only be kind to ourselves π
Oh Iβve done the same things many times. Get distracted by tv or suddenly looking up something and forget to get back to the game
Being distracted is too easy, I do it pokemon when I look up shiny stats or info, and then I just end up reading Bulbapedia for 3 hours -_-
I suspect it is my cptsd, depression, or undiagnosed ADHD. I have no idea. My brain seems to sort 'hobby' into 'chore' and puts up a wall. Annoying as shit when I have half finished projects and games everywhere. My half-painted necrons judge me from their shelf π³
It's possible. It's hard for women to get a diagnosis.
I've dropped so many hobbies because my brain sorted it into 'chore' (plus money). My half painted Cold One Knights have been hidden in a box and the paints have dried up
I can't play anything that warms up my GPU. My cooling is simply too good and actively heats my room by dissipating that heat.
So I've been playing lots of Halo The Master Chief Collection. Starting up my legendary Halo CE playthrough again!
Quick edit: Also BG3 is very good! I haven't played since finishing 8 runs in the first two weeks of release. I should do another.
Still waiting on my new rig To arrive so I can play it. Super excited!
It'll be worth it, I have already planned what I want to do when I replay it. Stuff I've done that my partner didn't realise could be done. It is insane how much freedom there is with certain choices, even combat approach.
You're in for such a good time!
