Funny that while you were in Hawaii, everyone and myself and my mother (and father) were checking out Moana on Netflix, or so my facebook would make it seem. lol

Weird, creepy short guy should have been given a staredown. Or he's like me and doesn't realize he's staring while he's really just drifting off and looking at nothing in particular. 

Maybe, but I've played DK64 recently, and it wasn't near as bad near as early on in the game. 

She bought a book of them from Hastings a while before they went bankrupt. If you're curious, you can find what those lesson plans are supposed to be, I'm sure. I'm not sure how many she actually used. I know she's used Minecraft in her classes, but I'm not sure how exactly.  

I'm not knocking sales, especially the ones that have games I already want. I'm knocking my dumb, knee-jerk response to them. 

I don't necessarily experience most media of any sort beyond entertainment, unless it's a very specific, gripping work. I still felt I was in a game in TLoU, but REVII nearly gave me a heart attack in a way movies just can't do. But then, nothing can get me inside a character's head as well as a book, and movies/TV have been my favorite visual medium for a while. They're great because they are easy to experience, but sometimes cause you to think about hard subjects. 

Basically, I really don't see any medium as "better" than another, but different with different strengths. Honestly, if there's one medium that speaks to me more than any other, it's music, which I realize is part of most of those other mediums. 

Agreed.

Or demonic dragon. 

My anti-reflux diet calls buckshot. 

I also should have worked paradox of choice and/or analysis paralysis in here somehow. Hmmm ...

I gotta fight da powers that be!

My backlog starts out as a bunch of games I want to play, but then I start trying to either play too many of them or grind through one I don't really feel like playing at the time. 

And I think you made that thing point about being an adult who can't just do everything we want to with limited time more clear than I did in my blog. It could use some editing, since I'm switching between first and second person for what is ultimately a personal experience I'm only assuming other people have. I wrote it in part because I feel I need to write more. I wanted to just get it out there, so it's pretty rough, I'm sure. There are probably some tense changes in there that are out of place ...

But that's just it: if you enjoy the experience of something meant purely as entertainment, it's worth it. But I feel books and games especially can lead us to believe our unfinished entertainment pursuits are moral failings, and that's where I'm starting to see the error of my grindy, sunk-cost-fallacy ways.
