I Think I'm Broken

It might be because I have a lot of things going on at work, or the fact that I'm about to start up with a double dose of grad school classes, but I've been having trouble starting up a new game. Right after I finished my first list in alphabetical order, I quickly decided that I was going to ditch that particular method of arranging my games and mostly just play whatever I wanted. I then proceeded to pick Metroid Prime and I played it till I beat it. That was fine.

Since then, I've been having trouble deciding which game to play next. There is no order. It could be anything. I tried inputting the list into random.org's list randomizer, but then I kinda didn't like the order it gave me so I ran it a couple more times. Then I thought that was just cheating so I went back to just deciding on a game and playing it. That was less than successful.

The old way, while restrictive in some ways, was actually rather liberating in others. I didn't have to expend any mental energy in deciding anything. The decision was made for me by the alphabet. Now I have to look, pay attention, consider, and decide. All by myself.

Anyway, it's a ridiculous problem to have, I know. I don't know when I'll start a new game. It's possible that I'll be too busy with school and work to play much of anything until March anyway. If you don't see any updates for the time being, chalk it up to either indecision or just plain being overworked.

  1. First World Problems. You said it best, having multiple choices can reduce us to inacción, the very opposite of what is originally intended. Add up the fact that you have to prioritize your activities between musts and wants, si it is no surprise you de el burned. Do whatever you want, and don't feel bad for it.
