My ~~ND~~ NT husband will just like, play a game every once in a while when he feels like it. He'll just pick it up every so often, maybe play a few days in a week, and then leave it be again for a while to come back to later.

Meanwhile I will get into a game and spend every waking hour playing it. My sleep, diet, work, hygiene, all suffer to varying degrees. I give myself wrist pain and thumb calluses. I will not rest until I 100% it. And if I can't, I'll stop and most likely never pick it up again.

Anyway, anyone else playing Silksong?

I collect video games, and also have a small handful i enjoy to a probably unhealthy degree.

The former is me finding crazy deals and wanting to support game studios whose content interests me.

The latter is my escapism. Sometimes I want to just lap the shit out of Nurburgring Nordschliefe, or slice-and-dice space ships in sandbox mode, or build a Soviet republic, or play a modern iteration of Escape Velocity with surprisingly tight and far-spanning plot, or get into some 6-DOF interstellar combat, or drive shooty botes around, or get into some pvp dogfights with recent and historic fighter jets.
