How do you play your video games?

One to relax with (Puzzling Places), one to warm up with (Synth Riders), one to progress with (Max Mustard).

That's usually how it goes. One 'progress' game at a time, couple evergreen games to relax/warm up.
Next 'progress' game will be Metro Awakening once I pick up the pro. Then Max will be on hold until Metro is finished.

Very good system. 👍. Great minds think a like, this is pretty much my go to system right down to putting my main game on hold. How does it work out for you though, some of my main games slip into the back log after making the jump back I just don't seem to be in the mood for it although I do try.

The amount of games though I have going now is insane, discounting the evergreens, there are 7 games on my home screen I'm actively playing and it's actually working out. I might do a Saturday or a Sinday here and there where I pick this kind of gaming and dive into backlog playing as many as I can and see what pops off again. It's actually very doable. 

Same. My progress game before Max was Madison VR, while I switched back to Puzzling Places from GT7 (relaxing on the Nordschleife in custom races)

And there's many more still waiting to get back to. It's a risk starting a new game but as I grow older I don't feel the need anymore to complete games. Just do what you feel like in the moment.

Life is too short to put 'rules' on the way you enjoy entertainment. And it feels damn liberating. "I should continue/finish game A first" go away voice, I'm excited to play this now. I have plenty games still sitting on my shelf, unopened, fell between the cracks of time because of my previous 'system'. Like Returnal for example :/ And it also held me back starting Elden Ring, since I always had that feeling "finish what you start", thus long games became more and more of a drag to even start / sample.
