Also, I think I've touched on this before, but like.
The humble monthly choice subscription used to have a to exist. There would be 10 games each month, but you only got to choose 3 of them.

Which is much more reasonable - you chose the games which looked interesting, and the choice made you feel more invested in the games you got.
Now it's just... Every month they give you 8 games. You don't choose anything.

My new year's resolution was to play 6 games to their end this year.

I'm going to see if I can do it. I've finished 2 games so far this year, which means I have to finish 2 games in November and 2 in December.

I'm currently playing Pseudoregalia, which I know is relatively short.

This month especially: there are 2 games that I would want, and the bundle is cheaper than buying those two games just on their own....

But I don't want any of the extra games. And I don't think I would actually play either of those games this month, so... what's the point in paying for them?

I've also put my monthly humble subscription on indefinite pause. I started itn to try and reduce impulse spending on steam sales, and it worked!

But looking back at the past year, I've played almost none of the dozens of games I've gotten out of it. I would have been better off just... spending the money on a game I was actually going to play.

I've decided I don't want any more games in my steam account. There's too many already, and I'm not comfy with the DRM.

So, I have gone through my steam wishlist, and added everything I can (and still at least somewhat want) to my GOG wishlist.
This gives me a baseline of a place to get a game DRM free.

I'm also going to make an effort to get stuff from itch more.

Hey, you might not know this, but... I am a creacher!

@verity yessss

I've been wanting to cancel it for months, constantly thinking "I'll cancel it once I get better at spending less time on it".

It's time to stop waiting. It's time to do things that I actually want to do.

But I've realised that I've wasted too much time on youtube. I think it was a habit that grew out of a period where I only had time for an occasional short video, and couldn't engage in something involved.

But I spend too much time each day watching youtube and feeling miserable. Instead, I'm going to try and work on my hobbies and engage with fiction I actually enjoy.

Yesterday I closed most of the youtube tabs I had open on my comptuer.
And today I cancelled youtube premium.
