Comment on PatientGamers appreciation post + my experiences with playing "backlog" games

I’ve been coming to a similar place recently as well. I really like that analogy to countries, helps to reframe and remove the guilt I feel sometimes for bouncing off titles. Being a bit of a completionist, I’m always concerned that I’ll leave a game half experienced and feel like I’ve got a dangling thread in my mind.
Similarly, I’ve been trying to read more, whether that means finishing a book or not. I’m a very slow reader, so I’m always agonizing over picking up a book because I’m not sure I can commit the months to finish it.

I hear that. I also try to at least finish the main story before moving on. Sometimes, though, I just cannot pull through and that’s ok too. Must have been a reason why I didn’t.
Books aren’t all too different from video games in that regard, I feel like. If you’re interested enough, you’ll stick to it. If you drop it half-way through, there must have been a reason too.
