      Looks like you could use an NVMe SSD, so loads don't take 2 minutes.

          I feel like this also works for depression. I will go through half my library doing this, just to turn it off because there's no desire for anything.

            I go through that but I stay in the menu tweaking the settings until it's perfect. Then I start the game mess with the settings again only to lose interest in actually playing it.

              I like to spend all day at work thinking about how much fun I'm going to have playing a certain game when I get home.

              Then, when I finally make it home and sit down in front of my computer, I'll "get to it in a minute" for the next 3 to 4 hours until suddenly it's time to eat and go to bed. Repeat 5 days a week.

                I usually load up Steam with the intention of clearing some of my backlog but then just end up doing another run of Binding of Isaac or Noita

                  Full steam ahead until I beat the game. See I have just 3 achievements to earn until I have 100% completion.

                  They're all "collect/perform action 1 billion times" things.

                  Never play again.

                  Have 100% in Prepare to Die Edition of Dark Souls; have not done the ones where you need to collect every spell and ring in the Remaster.

                        Load game… Turns out there are updates, connect to the internet, wait for it to update, then get to loading screen and want to play something else.

                          And when you’re about to start playing you get the obligatory 150 GB update.

                            That's exactly me, I hate depression cuz I want to play and enjoy games but can't get myself to do it because there's just emptiness.

                                If I'm lucky I can find something new to hyperfixate on to get me out of a rut. Old stuff doesn't do it for me. Discovered my favorite genre this way actually.

                                  I mostly play on the Xbox, not very often. so when I do, it's the update game. I play update for a few minutes, get bored then go do something else. By the time I finish there's no more time to play and I forget until a couple months when I only get to play update again.

                                    Brain hack: Go stare at a wall for 5-10 minutes and try again, repeat until the game/activity seems fun. Your brain will start to crave any stimulation when faced with unbearable boredom.

                                    Note: This may cause emotions you were suppressing to surface in the absence of stimulation, which will likely be uncomfortable, but also might be the reason you were struggling to enjoy things in the first place.

                                      I do this thing, where I'll play a game for 2-5 minutes and then I'll stop again.

                                      You can bet your ass that I only play games that load and close almost instantly. Well, and basically only games that I'm already familiar with.
