I should get back into The Expanse.
I do this with games too. It takes literal years for me to beat games because I always reach a point where I get distracted by something else and then drop my current game for over a year and feel no motivation to continue once I’ve pivoted. These days if I want to beat a game I’ll lock in and do nothing but play that game for days on end. New game came out? Nah, I gotta stay locked. Friends hanging out online playing games together? Nope. Locked in. I’ll even turn off my phone and other monitors just to make sure I don’t get distracted.
With TV shows it’s almost impossible to lock in sometimes because they just take too long. I can keep my attention on one thing for a few weeks at a time but I can’t do it for the amount of time a show requires unless I somehow habitualize it into my day like watching it when I eat dinner. And even then I’ll often times switch shows about halfway through.
I used to do this with JRPGSs all the time, I’d spend hours and hours grinding levels but when it finally got near the end I’d just stop playing.
I literally got to the final area in Tales of Berseria and Paper Mario: TTYD and just stopped lol…
It’s even worse because I’ve played through everything before that in TTYD like four times.
Most shows end like shit. I say this is a way to save ourselves the disappointment
