Is this ADHD in practice? I just went through 17 websites looking for games ranging in genre and popularity from Bioshock to Rasetsu Xan (2001) to Yumina the Ethereal. I keep doing this all the time but I never actually end up playing anything. Why do I get a thrill from looking for games but not from playing them? I have at least 62 different ones downloaded but haven't finished any. I thought about getting a new MMO when the last one I got was a week ago. Not even enough time to get into an MMO. What the fuck is going on with me? I'm currently downloading a bunch of Touhou games I missed but probably won't play them and quickly running out of space. Does anyone else do this? I basically do this whenever I have moderately fast internet. Already burned through several gigabytes doing basically nothing

I've felt like this for the past five years. The only thing I do game-wise now is play Mario Kart with friends for an hour. I've even gotten this way with movies and TV; it's not that the entertainment is bad, I just don't care to watch or play anything. It's best to take a break and come back when you're motivated, but to be honest, I never recaptured that feeling, and it's been nearly five years. I used to have a general interest in watching or playing something for hours, but now I don't care at all. Sometimes you feel like you've played and done everything; if you're not getting the spark, it's best to just chill for a bit. I'm sitting on 2TB of pirated games, movies, and shows. I open it for ten minutes, close it, then scroll through forums again. I guess I hit a point where I just felt like I was wasting my time or didn't feel satisfied after completing a game, movie, or show. It's so odd; it just happened out of the blue one day.

Find something extremely addictive. Most games are just shit.

That's the goal but nothing grabs me that much anymore. I've already run through all my favourite RPGs and strategy games. Nowadays I'm into puzzles like Opus Magnum but I still get bored quickly

this is modern entertainment industry in practice

they want you to consoom more and more, especially if you use your wallet. they dont care about how much fun you have. they definitely dont want you to be satisfied with what you have already.

For me it's the opposite. I pirate everything I use and don't even have a bank account so I end up having access to everything which muddies up my options. If I was spending money I'd be a lot more careful desu

Or just do stuff anyways and deal with the boredom. A lot of the times I didn't wanna do something cuz I was worried I wasn't gonna fully enjoy it if I wasn't 100% focused but then I realized I'd never do anything if I had to be totally focused on it to do it

Mind wandering is just part of life.

It’s a common experience
You will either end up playing nothing,/getting something new and putting barely any time into it or just going to a game you already have 6 million hours in and playing it again
It's only common nowadays lol cuz there's so many options.
