Unpopular Opinion: Backlogs are good for your mental health
Alot of people stress out over finishing every game they purchase for varying reasons but to be honest playing video games is unlike any other media consumption. The commitment it takes to sit through a 20, 30, 50 and sometimes even 100+ hour experience is mentally taxing. If you feel disengaged after 14 hours of playing anything. THATS NATURAL. It's waaaaay easier to sit through a 2 hour movie or 40 minute Netflix show compared to a full playthrough of Skyrim. I want us to give ourselves some grace. Video games are supposed to be fun and unless you're making money from finishing games, dont allow your backlog to become a 2nd job. I personally switch games like I switch clothes. Because in the long run, it only matters if I had fun. Not if I finished it or not.

How Red Dead Redemption 2 Teaches Community
I finally got past the epilogue on this game after almost 8 years of playing. And man its so much you can take away from this one. The one thing I couldn't get out of my head was the game's mechanics and story surrounding community. So I did a little deep dive on the topic.
I just uploaded a video essay after almost a year off and dont know what to do next
Hey yall my name is Dziller and I've been youtubing on and off for about 16 years. I just uploaded my first video on youtube after taking almost a year to think of what direction to take my channel. The thing is, I worked extremely long hours to script and edit everything and just uploaded it with my only promo strategy being reddit. The video itself is about why Rockstar Games use Betrayal in all of their games. I believe in the videos ability to take off. I just wanted some non biased feedback on it and any ideas to take future videos further. Thank yall, I love writing these videos and have alot more ready to go, i'd just hate to waste it, if I'm objectively approaching it the wrong way.
