how do you manage to go through and play a game? (feddit.it)

I've recently managed to setup a modded Skyrim install. Wanted to setup and play for months. And now... Zero. Same thing happened with bloodlines a while back.

During the day the spark of wanting to play comes. But as soon as I get home. It just disappears. And end up doing other things. It feels like wanting to play the game is more appealing than actually playing it.

How do y'all manage it?

I play old GBA titles. Simpler quicker games that are easier to pick up and put down. Simpler items, simpler controls, simpler plots. Still fun and engaging.

Got an Analogue Pocket and have been working through all the 2D Zeldas.

Meanwhile I picked up Cyberpunk the first time it went on sale and have played through the tutorial like 5 times.

TBF it's not that bad of an idea... The first game I've ever finished was Wario ware after all.

I'll look into this.

This hits a little closer to home than I'm willing to admit.

Doom Eternal is good for this. You can basically drop out at any point and enter a tutorial for all of the weapons. And as far as plot goes... it's Doom.
