My relationship with long videogames

@the_gamer_tavern

In the past I couldn't, for the life of me, commit myself to playing long games (i.e. 30+ hours) because I fell out of interest and dropped the game.

Lately I started playing two "long" (always keep in mind that this adjective is used by my perspective) games: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mass Effect 1 (the legendary edition) and weirdly enough, seems like they're sticking with me because I'm alternating one or another throughout the gaming sessions.

I don't know if this pattern will be able to help me with other games as well or if it's just peculiar to those two specific games but I'm crossing my fingers

Have any of you had a similar experience?

Me and Luna at Malham Cove. Without the power chair there's no way I could walk to places like this now. So, I'm delighted with it and grateful to be out moving again.Although I have to reign in my enthusiasm. #cfs #me #mecfs

It was definitely “fake spring” this past weekend… with today being rain and 45 degrees with a wind chill in the 30’s…. made this past weekend feel like a dream.

Sie trotzt dem Ostwind
Diese Hinterhofschönheit
Kalt die Sonnenzeit

If you'd like to know more about ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, this is a video for you. I've been living with this condition undiagnosed for a couple of decades, not knowing what was wrong with me, until very recently.

I'm still figuring out what happens next. Everything has changed and everything remains the same.

What's keeping me busy?

1. Working - Day Job: I touch every aspect of IT during my day.
2. I manage social media for a 2SLGBTQIA Pub with events.
3. I do Tech Reviews (I try to do 1 or 2 a week).
4. I'm a video game player (PC).
5. I go out and socialize and also party.
6. I also have some pockets of alone time.
7. When in the mood, will hang out with people. But that's why there's point 5.

I don't have kids or pets, but I do have a husband. This is where my time is spent. #Me #MyLife

Me & Alf. The powered wheelchair is a new thing. Walking even very short distances provokes an extreme fatigue that can now wipe me out for days #mecfs Alf like a lift and I was pleased to oblige. #photography #ME
