ADHDers might call this a “hyperfocus” or the kind of obsession which resembles a hobby. Some activity that you think about at work all day and have to tear yourself away from to do anything else. I know it sounds like addiction, and it can look like one, but it always passes. Creative people might call it a muse?
I’m just on the tail end of one (Doom mapping), but no longer to the point I’ll skip eating in order to do it. So will probably be moving on soon.
Does this sound familiar? What are your obsessions like for you? Do you get them? Have you ever had one?
did you finish all of them or just play them
Lucky for me I don’t really get involved with the online stuff or completing Pokédexes; I just really like exploring the regions and playing through the main campaign. 😁 So it lends itself quite well to a marathon every now and then.
I do the same thing with the Ace Attorney games
About how long did it take you per game tho? I’m playing the original three gens and it’s taking me forever! Sounds like you had a fun time
I think they’re usually roughly 20 hours each for me! Are you playing the OGs or remakes? 😁
OGs! I haven’t reached 20 hours though so that makes sense. I’ve gotten really into buying the originals to play on console
