I’ve been really stuck deciding where I should publish my thoughts, and if they should even be published at all. But I find this as my safest place, because it is, after all, my blog. I don’t have to worry about the theme, or the direction, or anything else in specific because I have total say in what I think I ought to be publishing here.
That being said, I still think about the visibility, and how it might be read or perceived, but statistically, the site monitoring says that there’s so little people reading this and it shouldn’t matter at all. So it’s cool, and I’m alright.
I’ve been thinking about the range of consoles and devices that I have around me. I am playing a lot of them, but the rotation of games, and the lack of free time I’ve been having has really limited the amount of gameplay I get. I could definitely squeeze in a game during travel, or just playing a lot more, but I do need my breathing space. I need my down times to think, and sometimes having a game to take up that thinking space really makes it less enjoyable.
At the same time, which game do I play? Should I finish all my games to 100%, or should I work on those that have been in the library for decade (literally for some games)? Should I play something popular, or should I replay an older game that I’ve always replayed because I just enjoy it that much more?
I’m still deciding the priority, and honestly I’m wasting more time on the indecision. I should just sit down to play a game, and at those times, I end up replaying games a lot more.
Does that mean that I should just stop buying new games and just playing old games until they’re settled? I am uncertain. Sometimes a game that I have wanted to play goes on cheap all of a sudden. I buy it, and then I have another game that is unplayed for another period of time. Perhaps I should really just finish older games before I get new ones!
These thoughts have affected the way that I think about the rest of the things I have. I do collect a lot of stuff, and because of the type of things I get, they don’t necessarily break apart. More than that, I actually maintain things quite well so they do last longer than they’re supposed to.
I enjoy retail therapy as well, and that leads me to spending a lot on things that I don’t really need, but I want to have at some point. I don’t think it’s the best thing to do, especially with limited resources, but sometimes I feel like I can’t help myself. With the help of my wife, I’m slowly unwinding from this, although I feel it’s taking a bit longer than I would have wanted to.
Anyway, I’m writing all this, because I’ve got a few devices around me right now, and I can’t decide what I should do next. This is really the effects of the sin of overbuying and indecision. What a complication we have let ourselves go through in this process…
