My ND NT husband will just like, play a game every once in a while when he feels like it. He'll just pick it up every so often, maybe play a few days in a week, and then leave it be again for a while to come back to later.

Meanwhile I will get into a game and spend every waking hour playing it. My sleep, diet, work, hygiene, all suffer to varying degrees. I give myself wrist pain and thumb calluses. I will not rest until I 100% it. And if I can't, I'll stop and most likely never pick it up again.

Anyway, anyone else playing Silksong?

I usually only play games becazse they are either fun or interesting.
I also don't understand the playing of multiple games instead of focusing on one but playing it less frequently to avoid fatique.
What I do understand is playing a "brain-off" game and switching to a game that requires attention (e.g. due to a good story)
