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.
This might be the first time I’ve heard someone else describe this phenomenon. It’s gotten much worse in the last 5 years, to the point where I barely game. I still want to though. Very odd.
Happening to me too, I’ve had to find a new hobby. I’m hoping after some time off I can pick gaming back up again in the future.
