I go through great effort to avoid thinking thoughts but they tend to pop up regardless

Sorry unfortunately I'm too busy playing the entirety of the Yakuza series again while telling myself I'll definitely finally branch out and spend 3 dollars on something new on sale
Maybe next year

I booted up Witcher 3 for the first time after being heavily into with dark souls 3 and the combat in the Witcher unfortunately bounced me off hard. Just wasn't what I needed in a sword swangin' game at the time. I prob had wrong expectations going in

I always used to ask Alexa to tell me a joke as I walked by, just to bug my wife with bad jokes
Then she started to give sponsored jokes voiced by Minions and whatever other movies were being pushed and that took a lot of the joy out of it

So many Like a Dragon games to get through (currently on Yakuza 5) before I'm caught up. It's tough to be trying to go quick on entries in a series where so so much of the experience is side content.
I'll be going back through then all again at some point for full completion, I can already feel it

The time I put into OSRS and games like it have never really been about the game, but the fantasy of highly visible progress towards easily identifiable goals that build into something great. Life isn't like that, and that's been a challenge to accept. Still haven't, really. But I'm trying.

I enjoy the work that I do, but I miss the concrete sense of accomplishment of long term goals. Building an engine, laying out a plan with milestones and then just charging that course. When each day at work is largely a full reset from the previous day, it just feels like a lot of spinning gears.

With long term goals in play it's easy to lock in, even in a game as mind-numbing as OSRS gets after a couple thousand hours. I'm missing the feeling these days of a game that can do that again, and I've found it's because I'm also feeling the need for that kind of inspiration back in my own work.

Reminds me of the same way I felt getting the Brutosaur in WoW. Played for a bit afterwards, but when I've completed whatever arbitrary goal I come in with, the game is fundamentally different and on its last legs. I've been thinking these days about how I've had similar thoughts in real life.
