Yes, as others have said here, Hold off from buying games for a bit.
But also, play what you want to play.

I used to be in the same boat as you. Having a backlog the size of my... my.. drawer. But yeah as I've grown older I've also come to realise that I can't have too many story games on at the same times or I will loose on plot and mix them up a bit. What I did a couple years ago was to write all of the games down that I wanted to get through, list reasons of why I wanted to play each one ASAP (to avoid spoilers, length or because it would suit me). That said, you will also realise that not every game are for you. I still got a couple games which I gave a chance but ultimately decided to drop. It should be fun to play games!

Also there are no shame in not finishing a game or just spend some time playing multiplayer. I mean there are countless times I've just said "screw it!" and gone back to a few rounds of Titanfall 2 multiplayer. If its fun why not.

But yeah, Rank them to how badly you want to play them. Sit down and stick to 2-3 games max, if you really don't feel it, drop it, but also consider "is there a chance this slow build up will pay off?".

I don't think that you have burnt yourself out on games. But things goes in waves, there has been weeks when I don't really play anything, then there are weeks when I play more than I perhaps should.

I totally understand, its been a lot of downers lately. Sad news upon sad news seem to be the norm and it is annoying.

HOWEVER, We also need to stay possitive. We got this amazing community, still over a month with Kyle hype and we got all the other allies still in health. I think its extra important to in times like this not forgetting to celebrate all the good stuff we have. All the amazing games we got! We know things will go back to normal eventually, just don't give up <3

Yeah, sad to see that we dont get any race, but health first! I wonder when it will start and how they will handle it. I mean max amount of parts/engines wont be an issue if they keep it the same but only half the races. Also what will it mean in terms of the championship and the table?

This is really really sad news. But I'm happy for Kyle and hope nothing but the best for him! Hope this will lead to great things for him! love that man!

@dmcmaster I know we don't always agree on these forums, but still not ok with mockery.

Thats great! I will throw her a vote and look forward to what will be shown on the shocase! :D

I have also moved this to "blogs" as it is for "self promotion".

@ffff0 Agreed!

I am SO hyped for the new season! Even though I doubt we will see anything drastic in the top teams until next year with the new rules, I can't wait for some more driving action!

I absolutely love Death Stranding. Sure I can see why its not everyones cup of tea and why it has gotten such a broad range of reviews. I just found it so rewarding to help people, plan routes and be on this cinematic experience of traveling the world. It really had that "kojima" feel over it and the characters really touched me. Can't wait to see what they will do next.

I just put this in my HM as I had played only a couple hours of it. I really really enjoyed what I had played even though its a little rough here and there. But due to the sheer amount, or lack there of of play time, I decided to "only" put it to HM. Now however I would probaly have put it higher.
