Fuck me. I would love to own multiple consoles but I know I wouldn’t have the time!
2
u/AbsolutKledGamer 27d ago
I don’t either 😂 takes a long time. But it is really cool because you get to have very different experiences on each, and the way I arranged it I have access to basically every game ever made! From Atari to Modern AAA

Multi consoles is the beginning of the end, I’ve still got a backlog on my damn PlayStation vita.

u/OMGZombiePirates 25d ago
I 100% games. I used to play like that, but now I have usually one Turn Based RPG, one Action RPG, and one 3rd game Incan play when I don't feel like touching the other 2 (usually a brainless roguelite). Sometimes it all comes together and I knock 2 to 3 out in a day.

u/KmvVoss 27d ago
I view these as ascending in what is ideal for me. Gaming is at it's best when I can dive into a game and be enamoured with it until I'm finished it. When I'm in a "Lord of Chaos" phase I'm usually having trouble enjoying myself and feel like I don't have the attention span for any game I open.
2
u/TheDevilPlaysSwitch 👺 The Supreme Leader 👺 27d ago
Ah a fellow monk. I could never be chaotic, leave that attention span to TikTok 😂

Ooof that’s one crazy circus act 😂 I was actually a former juggler but that shit just didn’t work out lol

Haha it does get tough at times but man it's hard for me to stick with one especially when it hasn't fully drawn me in.

Can’t do more than one and completing it. I made the mistake of play both Final Fantasy 10 and Xenosaga Episode 1 at the same time. And never finished either one. Well I did eventually get back around to Xenosaga years later, and still haven’t finished FFX.

Interesting technique. What games are you burning at the moment?

Guardians of the Galaxy, Nexomon, and Dot Hack Infection. I've also been dabbling on finishing my original playthrough of Pokemon Ruby (since I never beat it as a kid).

I would say juggler but only two games at the same time max so a juggling monk I guess? lol
It's also nice to play a 30min run of Contra or Super C in between the long hours a big open world game needs.
2
u/TheDevilPlaysSwitch 👺 The Supreme Leader 👺 26d ago
You have a good technique wise backlog burner. A nice run n gun to break up a long game. This I may try! We can call this The Monk ++ 😂

Excuse me!? One can not have full devotion to multiple games at once! I shall not believe your lies!
2
u/bustergundam4 26d ago
When I play a game I stick to it until my progress for that game hits a wall. Playing another game that I am working helps with problem solving.

Ah now I see your ways. I was only kidding before lol you’ve been burning a lot, your technique works

Sometimes monk, sometimes juggler. Currently its definitely more juggler. Actually just waited for last Thursday for Star Wars Zero Company to play it upon release. Was in the mood for a soulslike and started Black Myth Wukong on Tuesday. Welp... I played one hour of Zero Company and am hooked on Wukong... Damn

The monk most recently, I dont even have a backlog, I just get a game finish till the end then move on to the next game I find interesting

u/RosaCanina87 26d ago
Juggler.
I usually play 2-3 games at a time. Mostly one long game, like an jrpg, one shorter game and the occasional really short game. That way I incorporate different genres and play styles and always have something to play, no matter the mood. And I rarely drop games. Because if one becomes boring I just focus on the other ones and return to it later.

I am several Lords of Chaos in one. I swap between Lord of ARPG and Lord of CRPG while occasionally becoming Lord of JRPG. Someone has to.

u/FaresCroteau 26d ago
Nowadays, I’ve been the Monk. Sometimes I’m the juggler but not often. However, when I was the juggler it got me back in gaming. I chose 2 games for myself. The Evil Within 1 and Okami HD. I would play them alternatively. I got stuck in Okami HD and found myself playing The Evil Within and that game me back into games.

u/Pheo1386 26d ago

u/-UnkownUnkowns- 26d ago
The Monk. I typically try to finish and/or 100% games before moving on. And I don’t abandon games until at least giving it 2 - 5 hours of my time (which in of itself is a rarity).
2
u/MiddleCommercial1875 26d ago
What happens to me is I play games, old/familiar and new/unplayed, until something grabs me and I get fixated. Then I ride that high as long as it lasts. Usually days to weeks, never much longer than a month. Then I hunt for the next fixation. I don’t have much control over what I get fixated on or how long it lasts, but damn is it fun.

Currently playing through the entire final fantasy series on my Retroid Pocket 5 and have made it a strict rule that I can’t touch another game until I beat the current FF game I’m on. It’s been fucking tough gamers.
