This might sound super weird, but whenever I actually find time to go “I have like 4 hours to spare, might as well play a game,” my brain just goes “hey, remember that movie you wanted to watch?” or “hey, remember that thing you wanted to wikipedia?” or “Might as well pay rent now, it’s due in 3 days.”

I just wish my brain would do this when I’m actually bored.

    This might sound weird, but are you actually engaged with what you’re playing? Maybe you need to find some higher intensity games to keep your attention.

      “higher intensity” is extremely vague and I’m having trouble grasping what you’re getting at. Horror? FPS? Competitive?

        Not the same person you reply to, but I think they meant some more gripping. More exciting. For you. Whatever you consider more exciting and gripping

          Well that’s the thing, it happens when I play games I find exciting, no matter the genre. Even when I pumped hundreds of hours into it. I put like 88 hours in cyberpunk 2077 but I found myself drifting away every time I’d start up the game.
