As a father of three and someone who works a full time job, I find myself sometimes falling into a game rut. What to play? When to play? How long to I play a game until I call it quits? Being a bit of a completionist, I find myself asking these questions over and over again. Currently I am working on the PS5 Assassins Creed Valhalla. Now this is a long game in it’s own right.But when your attempting to Platinum it, it makes it even longer. The bigger issue here is that I don’t want to start something else until I finish this.

Going about gaming this way can be very tasking. It can cause you to get in a rut of what to do. Do I stop move on to something else, only to come back and forget what I am doing later on?

So a way I combat this is to create a plan. A list of games that I choose to play in a particular order. Maybe a side list of short games I play to platinum. Just setting goals and sticking to those goals is the best way to get through. Don’t forget to plan accordingly for Coming Soon titles as well.

For so many years I have wanted to do something along the lines of Video Games as a career. That day may never come. So I will use this platform to get my thoughts out into the world. I am a gamer. Now listen, I may be more of a 30 hour part timer when it comes to game due to me wanting to spend time with my wife and kids. But I am a gamer. I play as often as I can and I feel I put my everything into playing the game as it was meant to be. I am also what most would call a completionist. However after sitting here with my wife while I jot this thought down. I am being educated that completionist is not an actual word. Wow! Thats me. Thats who I am.
