re: video games
I don't mind open world games when the price tag is free like FF14 or Genshin, because I don't feel guilty for just exploring & not advancing
but I had decision paralysis the second the Skyrim plot started up for real, I had never played an Obsidian game & it was too much
I'm too afraid to even touch BOTW because I'm scared I'll skip over some fan-favorite scene by accident or soft lock myself
it's just too much for me, I play games as a fun escapism, not Homework Simulators
