I’ve recently managed to setup a modded Skyrim install. Wanted to setup and play for months. And now… Zero. Same thing happened with bloodlines a while back.

During the day the spark of wanting to play comes. But as soon as I get home. It just disappears. And end up doing other things. It feels like wanting to play the game is more appealing than actually playing it.

How do y’all manage it?

    That looks like addiction. The idea of a future gaming session releases the endorphins in your brain but the game playing part doesn’t. You need a break from games. Edit: I’m no doctor

      I genuinely haven’t touched a game in three months due to exams. I’ve just now got more free time and managed to will myself to set it up one day. And then the will died again.

      Could also be me going into standby in the evening from work/classes.

        OK, good news then! I was just suggesting this since it looked like addiction symptoms but if you think that’s not it, then good for you! But still, don’t force yourself. If it was pizza we were talking about, how would you react? “I really wanted to eat pizza, so I got all the ingredients, prepared a nice margarita triple cheese and now I don’t feel like pizza anymore”. Just don’t eat pizza and do something else. That’s perfectly fine (+ you’re not wasting food so it’s all good!)
