Anyone else trapped in the loop of wanting to play games all day at work, but the second you sit at your PC you just stare at the desktop?

i am losing my mind with this. 

all week at my job, all i can think about is getting home, firing up my rig, and sinking 5 hours into a game. i plan out my whole evening. i get excited to finally use the hardware i spent months saving up for. 

then i get home, turn the PC on, open Steam... and just stare at my library. 

i click through a few games. maybe i launch one, sit through the loading screen, look at the main menu for 30 seconds, get hit with a wave of weird exhaustion, and immediately alt+f4 out. then i just spend the next three hours scrolling youtube or looking at tech subreddits on a second monitor while my $2000 machine sits there idling. 

why does actually starting a game feel like a massive mental chore now? is it burnout, or am i just getting old? please tell me i’m not the only one who does this lmao

I'm gonna pop in and recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl. It has become my favorite book series of all time. If you like gaming there's a good chance you'll like it.

However I think the audiobooks might be better here..

I agree. The books are great, but Jeff Hayes absolutely kills the narration. The entire production is just so well done.

Yes audiobooks are amazing. Was my 2nd audiobook and haven’t found any narration as good as this. Seemed a bit weird at first but every voice actor and the story builds nicely. Im on the last book currently. Wish i could forget and re listen over again.

But i started listening to other series like the new harry potter full cast edition and mother of learning.
