Does anyone else get extremely existential when pirating games?
Just an intense feeling of "now that I have access to ALL the video games, I don't have the motivation to play ANY of them"
Though I suppose it's entirely possible I just don't have any self control.

Here's a secret - they probably indeed aren't worth of playing. And you're lying to yourself.

That's because most games are shit.
People usually buy games then play then and claim they are "GOTY" for no other reason than consumer bias, they don't even have fun playing.
If I was hungry and had access to all the shit in the world, I still wouldn't eat it. It's free, sure, but it's still shit.
That said, if you don't play any games at all, you're just plain retarded. Find a fun game, pirate it and play. Rinse and repeat.

Do you guys have backlogs?
I personally hoard vidya if shit fucks up suddenly, and play 1-2 games maximum from the whole list. I make seperate shortcuts for games i am currently playing on taskbar, everything else is in this folder.
2c6176 No.13862335
>>13862035
Nope.
I pirate games for the sake of extended demos, since that's the only way to be sure if it's even worth the purchase in the first place.
Having access to ALL the games means I have an outlet for any kind of mood that I might be in.
4dd78f No.13862359
I do feel that I have a smaller chance of enjoying something if I pirate it, but only a little. It's like the opposite of buyer's remorse.

Out of all 400 games in my steam library I only give a shit about maybe 50 of them. If I had self control and did what >>13862335 does I'd have a few dozen good games and atleast $150 saved over the years.

Enjoying a pirated game is the ultimate test of quality. If you buy a game you are already biased because of the sunk cost. You figure it would be a waste to stop playing it/not finish it when you get bored. With access to literally every piece of digital media ever created you have to spend your time wisely by choosing the shit you actually want to do.
dfa85a No.13862695
Remember to have a shitty game so you can unload if you're playing a game where you have to put in a few hours. Just have something on the side that requires 0 brain effort, can be picked up and dropped at any point and time and ,as an opcional choice, maybe try to listen to that one album you always wanted to hear.
For me a dumb fps always works, right now I have one of the battlefield games to take my mind off. It's a matter of balance, don't invest too much time in a game you're getting interest in. If you feel like you just forcing yourself to play it, take a breather. Play something else for a while and then come back. Remember, moderation is key.

did you start pirating just now or something? Also start making a backlog – every time you see an anon mention a game that is at least slightly interesting, add it to the backlog, then eventually work through it. Also, do the same for series. For example, play ALL of Rance, from the series start to finish, it's worth it.

>inb4 these charts are shit
They are not strict models, but just good references of gems that I could have missed.
Also, backlogs, don't you want at least to play 10 minutes of some game that catch you attention? Double also, nobody is forcing you to play vydia, it's not even a good hobby.

Do you think it's better to download a bunch of games and then take turns on them or is it better to only get one or two and take it slow?

Mindless games don't necessarily have to be shitty, though. EDF and Euro Truck come to mind. Legitimately great games that also don't require a lot of thought.
>>13862869
I say download a bunch of games, preferably something across a wide range of moods. Otherwise if you spend your time downloading something you're in the mood to play, by the time the download finishes, the mood may have passed.

Downloading bunch of games is at very least beneficial if something happens to your favorite torrent trackers or internet service.

Pirating allows you to spent time on games that you actually like. If you buy a shit game you will force yourself to play it to justify spending money on it. If you pirate a shit game you can uninstall in after 10 min of gameplay and never look back

I just play like a half hour of each. If it doesn't grab me I drop it.
The only motivation to play is what the game gives me. And with downloading so many usually it means you're getting more bad games than good ones.
