Remember when I complained about not enough new games I'm interested in...

For the first time in living memory I have a backlog. I have too many games to play.

Like I haven't even got through Spider-Man 2 yet (big thanks to my dick older brother for spoiling surprises in that) have RoboCop still sealed (which I'm hugely excited to play), Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Sonic Frontiers (was a gift), Hi-Fi Rush (being that I have a decent laptop now) and the new Momodora is out TODAY and the new 2D Prince of Persia is getting good reviews (which I'll wait to be cheap second hand to avoid giving Ubisoft money - yeah I'm one of those guys). Oh shit and Metroid Prime (which I picked up ASAP physical incase it became the victim if scalping).

I just don't seem to have solo gaming time. Which isn't a "bad" thing - 4 player Wingspan, Terraforming Mars, Mario Party Superstars (Nintendo - please make DLC for this game...) and recently added to the roster 2 player WarioWare Move It (which is a stupidly fun game) are GREAT. Like I feel like I'm back in the N64 days playing games with family and friends and it's honestly been really good for my mental health BUT man, solo time I just seem to turn into a depressed bed slug. Like - I'm not doing cool when I'm by myself. My place is... it's getting pretty messy. Like living like a squatter kinda messy but getting up and doing something about it, man, just feels impossible as all hell. And coming from me, who has openly moaned on Qtoid (RIP) about carpets not knowing what a vacuum cleaner is, it's pretty bad. I'm a man with lil plastic bowls to put prepared veggies in when I cook - not having a visible floor is... it's not good.

I seem to have gone from games to weird depression but hey - happy 2024.

Whenever my house is a mess I always try to listen to a podcast or something and just go all in on getting my place in order.

Even if it's another gaming podcast telling me about the big releases for the umpteenth time without it I'll get bored or sad having to use my whole day getting the trash in order.

Oh man sorry to hear you’re feeling shitty. I hate it when things become a mess. Wingspan and Terraforming Mars are both ace though so that’s cool - and multiplayer gaming! That’s a thing from my past which I haven’t done in years. I’d say just enjoy what you’re into at the moment; sounds a lot of fun :)

I 'm normally pretty good at keeping the black dog on the leash (I think that's a British saying now I think about it...) but time off work which is planned to just relax and clean... yeah I'm really shit at handling.

It's like the more free time I have the more I can't handle things. Having things I have to do like work and meeting people for things are less stressful than not having things to stress about.

Hell I was heavily involved in a case last week regarding a member of staff shoplifting and while stressful it was "good" stress and I knocked it out the park.

Picking up some old pizza boxes though - the thought literally gave me a massive stress migrane to the point my vision was buggered for a good hour or so.

My brain seems to be like a blob fish - an utter mess when not under pressure.
