Backlog is getting out of control….

All the games I love need at least 500 hours just to be relevant lol! 2k hours in throne and liberty and I’m not even competitive atm! I took some time off too!

... Read moreTotally get this feeling! My gaming backlog is also spiraling out of control, and it feels like a never-ending battle. You start with good intentions when buying a new game, thinking you'll dedicate all your time to it, but then another sale hits, a new MMORPG drops, or an exciting early access title pops up, and suddenly you've got a dozen games waiting in the wings. It’s especially true for MMORPGs and ARPGs. These aren't games you just pick up for an hour or two; they demand hundreds, if not thousands, of hours to truly get into. You mentioned Throne and Liberty – 2,000 hours is a serious commitment! And then you have titles like the upcoming Dune Awakening or Path of Exile 2, which many of us probably bought during early access or pre-ordered, hoping to dive in immediately. But life happens, and suddenly those eagerly anticipated games are just sitting there, glaring at you from your library. I often find myself in a dilemma: do I continue grinding in my current MMORPG, where I’ve already invested so much time, or do I jump into a new experience? The FOMO (fear of missing out) is real, especially when friends are talking about the latest releases. It’s hard to resist the allure of a fresh world, new combat mechanics, and the excitement of discovery. But then I remember the sheer amount of time I'll need to catch up, let alone become competitive, and it can be a bit overwhelming. My strategy lately has been to try and prioritize. I ask myself: which game truly sparks my interest right now? Is it the one that offers a fresh narrative, or the one where I can just chill and grind? Sometimes, I even just accept that not every game I buy will get played immediately, and that's okay. The Game On mentality can be a double-edged sword – it’s great to be enthusiastic, but it can also lead to an unmanageable list. What about you all? How do you tackle your gaming backlogs? Do you have a strict 'one game at a time' rule, or are you like me, constantly downloading new titles and hoping to get to them someday? Let's share our strategies for conquering these digital mountains of entertainment!

This image introduces ADHD and communication, stating that communication differences are due to how the brain works, not carelessness, and were previously unexplained.
This image explains that talking too much in ADHD stems from a backlog of urgent thoughts that must be expressed immediately to avoid being lost, not from intentionally dominating conversations.
This image suggests having a trusted person for gentle signals and journaling before important conversations to help manage the backlog of thoughts for individuals with ADHD.
Accountability always begins from within
