Every now and then I pull up a game I might want to play. Mod the hell out of it, sometimes even fixing old broken mods or writing my own. I spend ages learning all the details of how it all works and engage in the community, etc.
I do this with almost everything. Work hours building a spare pc with linux and make it do some cool stuff, never touch it again. Build a music studio and hardly ever record music because now I feel like there’s no point xD
I do. I enjoy figuring out how it all works and then restructuring it to my exact specifications. But then the problem is ‘solved’ so my brain wants to focus on something else.
Even when I play games, I struggle to complete them. I play just enough to figure out the gameplay loop. The part where you’ve got all the mechanics and the game goes ‘and repeat till the game is over’. I struggle to have the desire to do that part, because why? The puzzle is solved and the rest is simply execution.
That’s me every time I try and open FalloutNV: “I don’t like this minor thing” spends two months making a mod then puts the game down again for a year or two

I never actually end up playing the game.

Do you have fun with the tinkering?

Tbf the old game in question takes 30 minutes to load and crashes every hour.
