i have "playing a new game" anxiety, how do i cure it?

Play an old game instead.

I know that feel
>finish game
>can't decide what to play next
>don't play anything

By playing the new game, despite the anxiety. The trick to dealing with anxiety is literally just bruteforcing through it, and it will SLOWLY gradually get less

>have like 10+ games that I never finished
>can't muster up the motivation to finish any of them

You delegate the decision-making to /v/
Intead of "I bought these games, I have to play them now", make a thread that says "I have these games, tell me what to play today /v/"

By playing the damn game.
Once you get going, you'll forget about it and be busy playing.

This only happens to me for more than a day when it's a game with a story I loved, that emptiness you get from having to say goodbye to all the characters and world is brutal

What kinda zoomer faggotry is this?

Replay one of your favorite games. The heightened level of serotonin will make you willing to give new experiences a try.

play a new game

try playing it just a little bit at a time until it hooks you
or
play it alongside replaying an old game you like. something of a considerably different genre of course

Every since I resolved to kill myself in January I started to enjoy everything so much more. All the crushing weight has gone away. And that old black ghost. Now I just drink my cup until it's empty.

BASED. REPLAYING GAMES IS MENTALLY ILL.

I was like you once so i wrote down every game i wanted to play in notepad and started playing them from top to bottom

>>723172867

>>723171890 (OP)
I havent played a game in a month

>>723172867
Noooooooooo don’t do it anon! The future is brighter than people make it seem

Valve is working oh Half Life 3. It is basically an open secret at this point that it will likely be announced this or next year

i often procrastinate on games like that
"just click play lol" doesnt work because if im not in the mood then i almost always end up dropping it and have to pick it up again later

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Play shorter games instead of 100+ rpgs.
I’ve been playing survival horror games all month and they’re usually 4/6 hours long. I think I’m just over massive timesink type games, few are fun enough to be worth that commitment.

Just force yourself.

This. open world slop with repetitive side quests isn’t something you should be playing regularly or at all. really.
