Have you participated in game jams?
Their clear scope and limited timeline means [more likely] something gets done and completed, to some degree.
“patient” probably means I’m not doing it beyond some scattered attempts.
I don’t really get what you mean by that. I don’t see patient as “letting it slide [off]”.

These days I don’t really buy things ever, I mostly play free games if even that. Less hopeful of the industry, feel like I wasted money. Later purchases were more patient, but disappointment there only slowed it even further.
This is a me problem (and a lack of income), but I sort of see it as being patient to a fault.
I am talking within the context of mental/physical health issues and never having made anything close to a game. Personal despair, isolation, lacking viable options, collapse.
So it’s more of an existential crisis. I am guessing there are probably some idioms about learning/practicing survival skills when the ship you’re on is already sinking.
