You can get more hours be removing sleep from your schedule. 😁

Hubby and i JUST got Fallout 76, and I'm actually glad we waited , its so dead, we only have each other to compete with . but its not really a competition if you share your harvest. its so much fun. Thought recently THAT game feels foreboding AF, if one compares current RL to the game.

I ponder this all the time and nothing ends up getting played :(

I assure you that you don’t need to play Cookies and Cream on the PS2

What ppl my age used to say about books.

so true

Literally me. I bought 6 games on Black Friday sales and I’m already behind on what I already owned 😭

My problem is I cannot stop replaying Ori, Hollow Knight, Max Payne 3, Faxanadu, Super Metroid, Halo games, and games I know I like. I should play new games but honestly after watching the HL2 documentary I probably have to play that again too for how many times now I don't know.

The backlog can never end.

Same when it comes to binge watching shows and reading books.

One of the greatest tragedies of human existence

you could also get infinite bacon if you quit all games

Unclear why working a job must consume 40 of those finite hours every week. Seems excessive.

We can only try, right? 😃

🤣🤣I feel your pain

TRUE and it's unfortunate 😭

I'm going to lay the guilt trip on you... 7,666 DOS games www.retro-exo.com/exodos_M.html

I’ve always wanted to be able to pause time

Multibox, dw about it

True. That is pretty important. We have to work more so that one day, they’ll get another house.

I hate it when I feel this, finally get time to do it, and then sit there staring at the screen because I can't decide what to play.

Make sure to leave in your will that if someone in the future figures out a way to scan people's minds and devices in the past and revive them in a digital afterlife, you want in.

My backlog has a longer play time than I have hours left to live.

The real game is choosing which game to play, and it’s impossible to win. 🎮⏳

You should just watch Utopia (2013) instead

have u ever played banana prince

Yes

The last video game I ever played (and first) was Asteroids in 1981. So, I guess we can never be friends.

I have also felt this type of existential dread. 🖤

I had to stop hunting trophies and achievements and just focus on enjoying and finishing the game without the completion aspect hindering me. I began to enjoy and finish a lot of my backlog after that.

If only we could play all day 😩 Join our community and get paid for testing new gamesss !

I know. I need to quit my job and leave my family or something. Lol

What if you played one hour of every game?

Upload my consciousness into a computer with my steam library thanks

a friend recently said we had about four more GTAs in our lifetime and i haven't found my joy again since

Just save game and continue in your next life. Assuming you were good in this one and don't come back as an amoeba

just watch a 2h video essay on whatever game you want to play the video has a lot of big words so they OBVIOUSLY know

I can live without playing the shitty ones. That's AVGN's job

Honestly, it’s why I enjoy Let’s Plays so much. I’ll happily watch my favorite streamer play a game that I’m moderately interested in. They’ll probably play it better than me anyway 🙂‍↕️

I have to catch em all, so I must keep going as long as the Pokemon Co & Nintendo keep coming out with more.

If I focus, I could probably finish two or three of those off by Xmas. ... because at Xmas, I will be getting more games.

Suddenly I don't feel so bad about my backlog of games on PS5.

facts

same and then i get overwhelmed by the amount of games i want to play. so i just end up not playing anything 😭

Same truly

Start with the bad ones to get them out of the way.

Even with my much smaller list, it feels like I’ll never be able to… it’s like there’s some kind of infinite mass? I beat 15 games a year, and 20 new games I wanna play come out XD

id recommend playing playthroughs, like 12 at a time , so you can see and experience as many games as possible

Yea but how long that gonna be huh? Idk wanna be blind forever. Somebody might trip me :(

I have never played a video game. I'm saving it for old age!

I feel that way about books!

Make an alphabetized list. Got it.

Hey, it's backed up by psychology or something. I watched a whole video and read about it years ago.

I feel this way about video games, books, TV shows, and movies. So much art, Not enough time!

It's really tough, especially when there's multiple games you enjoy and have to decide, like which one will I invest my day into today, and sometimes, while you play one, you really wanna play another!

and cost for me ^^'

Me everytime another 10/10 comes out but it's 50+ hours mainline

My problem is that I have the time due to disability, but I'll end up replaying the same handful of games over and over instead.

Oh look, it's @hokipong.bsky.social

This is why I say people who think immortality would be bad just don't have enough hobbies 😄

On a related note, Chivalry 2 is on Steam sale for $10 so I just got that instead of playing any of the games I already have

Better than the other way around.

EVERY? even that one furry hitler game on steam?😂 I mean cant blame you...i cant claim that i wouldnt atleast be interested to see what certain games are about even if i'm gonna dislike them

Ugh god this and anime… like… I want to start one piece, but that might wind up being the last anime I see in my lifetime to even just catch up.

I would be happy with playing and completing the ones I actually paid for.

i say this too and then log on for the 300th hour of Crusader Kings 3

I have a bucket list

I bought a PlayStation 5 and haven’t touched it for months. Not enough hours in the day to play Xbox, PC and PS.

I have the opposite problem: I love to play the games I like, but don't like very many. I just did ANOTHER Skyrim playthrough. 😜

There isn’t however a finite amount of lifetimes in the blink of a soul…

Agreed! But also me with books

My plan is to one day upload my consciousness into my Steam account.

They estimate there are 5 million video games out there. Life expectancy is about 670k hours. So if you play each game for only 1 minute, you'll only use up about 12% of your lifetime. Totally doable (barring costs and download time.) ...What, you want to actually experience each game?

Choose your time wisely.

i solved that problem by only playing dark souls over and over again

I want to play everything, but I'm never in the mood to play anything. My backlog grows exponentially

this is so real actually

Probably.

I’ve got a backlog of games I’ve deemed the “essentials” I e missed from each year starting with the NES up to the PS2 and am going through them by release order. Even with that number whittled down to just the “best” ones I’m still only on 1998 after a few years. This is with full time work and Uni

I fall for the trap of repleyable games. Finish the story of a game😐✋ Play rimwolrd, civilization and stellaris untill I die 😄👌

Loving my mame emulator. Over 6500 games

It always bugs me to think that I will go my whole life not witnessing beautiful art because there's just not enough time

same i hate how i play one game and start another without finishing there just so many good games to try 😫

I feel this. Also serves as an impetus to steer us clear from the dross and only spend our precious hours on the stuff we find truly worthy.

My biggest source of anxiety

Shelf test. I buy it. If it sits on the shelf for more than a year, I’ll never play it. Makes me sad. Many great games fail the test.

you dont want to actually play Duke Nukem Duke!Zone II expansion pack

Sleep and self care are overrated

Play them on a system which is overclocked at infinite times the speed.

The problem I have is I want to be the best at every game I play and have the same problem

I actually get anxious when good video games come out. Like what do you mean there's MORE?

Find out how to become immortal first duh

it's a conundrum

Lol and I’m replaying most of my games just because

currently playing darktide, valheim, enshrouded and helldivers 2 on pc. hit me up to connect

This is a valid reason to accept immortality and suffer watching loved ones wither and pass. Games, and finally catching up on all the shows people say I need to watch.

Not even finite hours in a lifetime. I'm struggling with finite hours in a day.

overheard

not just every video game but every video game for 100+ hours

World of Tanks on PS4 took me over a year to platinum - haven't played it since 2020 with a little under 3000 hours played into it

No time for more overhaul mods, Tamriel Rebuilt will have me going for years!

Says who? The government? Drink orphan blood just like the bourgeoisie and extend your life so you can play fortnite. It's YOUR god-given right.

For playing retro consoles or, it's a really nice feeling. Those games were designed for that type of display. Obviously for anything modern, a flatscreen oled is great

6 generations of game consoles were made with them in mind but ok lol

many such cases

Free anti aliasing + transparent dithering as an artifact of analog video compression is kinda great for older games honestly

Many older consoles were designed to be played on CRTs, HDMI connections induce noticeable input lags (particularly for rhythm games), old light gun games are unplayable on newer TVs, cleaner pictures all around for retro games...

that seems to be the thing they think makes them look better, even though have have far worse colors, pixelation, terrible contrast... some of the good ones looked pretty good but it's like a few ot the super high end ones made in the last days of CRTs and they cost a fortune for those models now.

Alot of old games were designed with them in mind

Ya I think it's the nostalgia more than anything because they were blurry messes. But I guess some people think that looks better... to each their own.

im gonna start a factory one day that day may be in multiple decades but it will happen one day
