This is a common theme among my friend group so I thought about asking this on Reddit!
Is there a particular game that you THINK about playing but doing so in actuality is kind of boring?
With me, sometimes I “romanticize” playing this game called Warno on Steam. However, when I go to actually play it, I get exhausted trying to relearn the controls and the whole match setup process so I quit.
In my head, it’s more fun to play! But when I go to actually play it, I get bored or I just don’t have the tolerance to play it.
What game is better in your mind than it is in real life?
Does this happen to you?
Oof when I read the post, my mind instantly went to back when my MMO gaming group started falling apart. I romanticized about having the same fun we used to have again together, but it actually never happened again. Everyone went their separate ways and in the end, only memories were left.
It’s been a long time since that happened, but I still romanticize certain games. One of the recent obsessions was Necesse. Such a fun little game, a mashup of Stardew Valley and Terraria, but unfortunately I haven’t had enough free time to focus on it.
