New Years Resolution
I wrote about my plans for this year here:

As I mention: I've already been working towards getting myself to a place where I can do this, so I'm fairly confident that this will go ok.
The main thing I need to remember is to be flexible, and to not be hard on myself.
New Years Resolution failure, mental health
I've recorded my failure to succeed at my New Year's Resolution.
It seemed like a good resolution. I had everything planned out – I only needed to spend half an hour on each of the 4 things I care about.
And yet... I couldn't even do that. So instead, I'm going to be seeking help, because there's clearly something wrong with me if I can't even do 2 hours of work on the things I love.
New Years Resolution failure, the plus side [Game of the Month]
However, I've come up with a new thing to do: each month, I'm going to try to complete a random game from my collection of games. Most of the games I own are uncompleted, and I want to see if I can fix that.
This month's game is Alan Wake's American Nightmare.

Game of the Month 1b — deciding
The second random letter is U, so my only option is Undertale
I nearly completed it once, back when it was popular. but got sick of how the game played before I actually got to the end – I didn't really care for the walking around sections, and I found the bullet hell combat to be boring and frustrating.
Undertale isn't bad, but it's just not the kind of game I enjoy, so I'll put it off until later in this endeavor once I've gotten used to playing games again.
Game of the Month 1b — deciding
The next random letter is G, so my options are:
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Gothic
Gone Home
GoNNER
Grow Home
Gravity Rush
and Gunpoint, which I've already completed once.
I think I'm going to play GoNNER, but if anyone has any specific recommendations of the others, go ahead!

@lizardsquid
Definitely Gravity Rush. (Hopefully Vita, but PS4 is more complete, I think.) Before that game, the last time I had that much fun just running around was Super Mario 64.
Game of the Month 1a — Alan Wake's American Nightmare
I finished American Nightmare!
I enjoyed it, and the story took some interesting paths that I wasn't quite expecting, despite otherwise being cheesy.
