This might sound super weird, but whenever I actually find time to go “I have like 4 hours to spare, might as well play a game,” my brain just goes “hey, remember that movie you wanted to watch?” or “hey, remember that thing you wanted to wikipedia?” or “Might as well pay rent now, it’s due in 3 days.”
I just wish my brain would do this when I’m actually bored.
Happening to me too, I’ve had to find a new hobby. I’m hoping after some time off I can pick gaming back up again in the future.
