so ive been thinking about time a lot recently, about how many games i have in the backlog and wishlist and how im gonna beat them all before i die. that was part of the reason i made a huge high priority list to see what i actually fucking care about lol, because to be honest about 250 of the games on the backlog i dont really give a shit about, they just fall between mid and low priority titles. and when accounting for replays, thats around 200 total games i wanna play before i die. lol fucking looking at my wishlist, whats on there that i really really wanna buy? the rest of trails? wolverine? baldur's gate? p3r which is already pre-ordered? that's not much...

the point im trying to make is the majority of games ive added over the nearly 3 years ive been on this website are little more than a "that looks cool, i dont wanna forget it". but i forget anyway. i dont forget trails or xenoblade or persona 2 but i forget why i wanna play fucking... elder scrolls or stephens sausage roll(????) so maybe they arent that wonderful of an experience im imagining if i have little care to whether i buy them for more than ticking down the boxes of "182 games" on my wishlist. i could spend 108 dollars on the steam store for shit i wouldnt play for years. maybe id boot it up but then be like "nahhh" like i was for fear and hunger, or blood, or duke nukem?

today was christmas (duh) and i got a lot of stuff id consider high priority, metroid, p5t, ff16. i got a few other things on steam, one of them being this game. and while it's a perfectly fun game, with nice music and a nice loop, there was an emptiness i felt whilst playing. i could be p-ranking violence or something. its like that game "arrow a row"

you feel so empty after it ends but then get back in thinking itll be better the next round, but you die and die and die and keep playing and keep playing and keep playing. and unlike something like cybergrind, or fortnite thats based on skill or playing with friends its mostly based on rng and such, and just keeps you coming back but like social media you dont really wanna be scrolling, i could be playing something epicsauce instead, yknow. something from those 200 games. and thats not to say this is unfun or anything, it just feels.. empty.

i feel like id be a bad candidate for trying out hoyoverse games for the same addictive tendencies, but even then those have fantastic art and a story behind them, which this does not

im refunding it
