Pre-2000s video games didn't need long tutorials. They had printed manuals, for one. And because each player owned only a few games, the player had to spend more time exploring each game. Ease of switching games since then ruined the incentive to persist.

Video games don't feel like they used to when you were a kid because once you outgrow child labor laws, you have more than two games to play in a year. Choice paralysis makes you less invested in learning 100% of any particular game. Pretzel explains

Gerade nachgeschaut, ich habe 4 angefangene Seitenprojekte und fühle mich paralysiert.

Also vielleicht mal was abschließen: Was davon klingt am interessantesten für euch?

Scrolling through my phone for the right album to listen to.

I can't find any that quite fit what I'm looking for. Scrolling, scrolling, up & down, scrolling. 20 mins.

Maybe I need more albums, I think. I check how many are on my phone.

1035 albums, 11,689 tracks.

#ADHD #ChoiceParalysis

Today in #ChoiceParalysis, I've been waffling over a new #monitor to buy for home. I broadly know what I want (32”, 4K, flat, not-ultra-wide), but am unsure how to evaluate monitors with built-in #KVM switches* and the ports that they provide.

(Why-y-y-y hasn't everything moved to use USB-C/Thunderbolt for everything already? What is this DisplayPort/HDMI nonsense?)

This is mainly for #HomeOffice work; I do very little gaming, and basically zero gaming of the sort where the monitor makes a big difference.

I want to be able to switch between a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini, using a wired keyboard and a wireless mouse. (Having a separate mouse for each computer is fine; a separate keyboard is not.)

The leading contenders after all the reading I've done are:

- #BenQ PD3220U https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/professional/pd3220u.html

- #Dell U3223QE https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-32-4k-usb-c-hub-monitor-u3223qe/apd/210-bdph/monitors-monitor-accessories

Currently leaning towards the BenQ.

I have a feeling that either of these will be more than enough for my needs.

We might have to replace a knackered kitchen appliance.

Whenever I get the urge to do a "thing" I, without fail, end up in choice paralysis mode.

Do I,

a) finally start actually learning how to use Godot

b) start practicing my drawing and digital painting skills

or c) write that manifesto on the latest thing I'm hyper-fixating about.

but then I just short circuit, feel stupid, and do nothing. Not even play a game in my ever increasing backlog.
