I hate how much my brain starts remembering interesting stuff when I finally sit down to play a video game (self.gaming)

This might sound super weird, but whenever I actually find time to go "I have like 4 hours to spare, might as well play a game," my brain just goes "hey, remember that movie you wanted to watch?" or "hey, remember that thing you wanted to wikipedia?" or "Might as well pay rent now, it's due in 3 days."

I just wish my brain would do this when I'm actually bored.

Not the same person you reply to, but I think they meant some more gripping. More exciting. For you. Whatever you consider more exciting and gripping

Well that's the thing, it happens when I play games I find exciting, no matter the genre. Even when I pumped hundreds of hours into it. I put like 88 hours in cyberpunk 2077 but I found myself drifting away every time I'd start up the game.

Do you only drift away when gaming, or does it happen for every medium?

Just gaming

You don't like gaming. Stop doing it for a while and maybe your mind will care about it again.

Was it like that when the game was fresh and you were getting into it in the beginning, or just after youd put the hours into it, and the novelty wore off?
