I can always appreciate the work of teammates during that time, lol.
I have to not look at my games for at least a month to recover enough from that fatigue....just so I can appreciate the work I've done. "Oh nice, good job me!" without the urge to claw off my own face.

Repeatedly playing a game in the leadup to release, trying desperately to reproduce bugs so we can figure out how to fix it...nothing has made me hate a game quite like that. Especially when new bugs are reported immediately upon release.

What a fantastic set of beans

This, absolutely.

I suspect this is why we get nerfed at birth.

Walking around repeating inane stuff like a demented parrot is unfortunately common for me as well. We don't get to choose what our brain decides to play on loop... it can be such a burden sometimes, lol.
Perhaps if we could choose we'd be too powerful?
