My Elden Ring counter 999:59:59 or something. It counts no more. I stopped playing some months ago. Talk about a burnout:( I lost myself in that game. I couldn’t think of anything else. When the object of desire has been obtained, it is game over. To quote Jenny Holzer or someone “The unattainable is invariably attractive “ and so on. I simply ruined it. Thumbs up-great episode !

2024-01-11 05:52:30 +0000 UTCDang, all of those times were way lower than my initial thoughts hah Great episode, everyone! Was cracking up at the answers for question 5. Regarding the savoring games, bite sized stuff each day- I finished "13 Sentinels Aegis Rim" this past year, and the structure of that game REALLY lends itself nicely to just doing a single thought and picking it up again the next day. "The Case of the Golden Idol" was another that felt satisfying to complete one puzzle setup per day. The last one or two puzzles got the better of me at the end of a long day and became two days each, but still a good time.
