Really good food for thought. I looked back on my 2025 and saw that I played around 25 games last year. I had mixed feelings between "did I play enough?" and "wow, there were some really good games in that 25". I think I'm settling somewhere in the space of playing games well instead of playing games to play them.
The note about comparison hits. I saw a couple already state they have finished 3 (albeit short) games this year. I felt so behind. But really I’m currently enjoying what I play and maybe it will only be a handful of new to me games this year. There are a few DLCs coming so I do hope to feel excited to return to some old favs!

For sure. I listen to a ton of gaming pods and the rate they burn through games is so stressfully fast.
