Hey everyone!

I really passionate about games but I struggle a lot to finish the storyline for a lot of them. There are some games I would love to finish like Eastward or Sea of Stars, but I feel unable to reasume them. I feel like if the game is not a dopamine trap(League or Civ VI) I can't continue playing it.

Does anyone here has face this issue and have found a way to work on it?

I really try to enjoy games slowly, and for some time it works but when novelty wears off, is hard for me to start playing the game again!

It’s easier when you’re not doing speed balls a la constant dopamine hits - irl you’re not getting constant hits, why should you do it in your free time either.

Hedonism is tough path to subscribe to unless you’re trying for addictive, unrealistic tendencies 🤷🏻‍♂️
