2020 Report

My first full year on BLAEO, and what a year it was! Yea… we all know what a year it was… I was fortunate enough to be able to work from home, so I cannot complain, but it was a weird time. And still is. On the bright side - I finished 72 games. That’s… a lot. I’m quite proud of it. Especially that I managed to finish some huge ones like The Witcher and AC Odyssey. On the other side… 91 new games… yup… it’s too easy to catch a game in these times… Well, looks like I will have something to play for a long time. This year resolutions? I want to continue my “one bigger game a month” action - it was quite succesful during last year. And beside that - I just want to be able to go outside without this stupid mask. And maybe go somewhere on vacation. That’s all I need now.

After seeing your comment I had to read it and actually yeah that sounds like a pretty good idea, never motivated enough to touch anything that isn’t on the short side

But… you play long games o.O

Very rarely I would say. If I do its because its a win or the sort. Lets take last month. Ni no kuni 2 was a win, hat in time + shenmue were hb monthly. Tokyo xanadu is because its been a year since it was a gift so I decided to go for it

Take the month before my biggest weren’t that long. Yooka laylee games were again hb monthly ones. My longest after that was at 16 hours which doesn’t really compare to being a really big long game

Final example is the month before that again. All longer games were dead rising 3 and resident evil 1 + 2. All games that took slightly longer then my normal gameplay because I did multiple run throughs. Like 4 including dlc

Going off my last 3 months any significant long time was simply because I was forced so to say. Between a short okay game and a long great game I’ll most likely pick the short because in those initial moments I don’t have motivation. But you saw in the event that once I get into a long game I will put 10 hours a day into it if need be.

Frankly anything that lasts more then 1 day is a win in my book, if I have to finish it another day and I don’t feel dread at the idea is great. I think another part is just because I know I don’t have many longer games compared to short. Counting ones that aren’t played I got like 200 short to like 30ish medium and 40ish long. I know especially near to pop times I don’t want to touch a long because it has a chance to be picked.

Yeah this ended up being super long but its you nin so cant be helped

Well, if it’s ok for you, it’s ok. Otherwise you should try play some more long games just for you, just for fun. Don’t think about all the games you could beat in the time, just… go for it.
Or not, if you prefer to keep it that way :*
