Why I’m Changing How I Play Games This Year

[@Cerk_du_soleil]

the biggest game changer for me was taking social media off my phone and keeping books around more. If I feel the need to grab my phone, I grab the book. If I wake up and cant get back to sleep, grab the book and don't doomscroll. Huge mental health game changer and helps with feeling less scattered and overstimulated since books push you to have a longer form attention span. Cheers BBK hope you're doing well!

[@drgonzo123]

The last bit of social media I engage with is KZbin. I still parooze the comment section, but I try not to get caught up in stupid arguments. The identity politics and DEI/woke war was the final straw for me. No one comes to social media for information or to change their mind, so it’s a pointless argument imo. I hope my mental health picks up by just avoiding social media all together. And I always wish I read more. Just finished a great book, Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. It’s a dark fantasy set in medieval Europe with religious themes and I highly recommend it

[@ymotle]

Comic and manga counts?

[@cinehype21]

@@ymotle ​ i think yes bcause it has some point where the story would end, not like doomscrolling

I only have twitter on my phone and am going to delete it very soon. I want to be at this point as well.

[@Zoalak]

I agree. And if you own a Kindle it’s super convenient too.

[@rodkimble11]

Your advice travels distance, my friend. I too have finished more games this past year than I have in the last 5. I have you to thank for kickstarting my focus and intentionality for my gaming during that time. Thank you. Blessed to be here, have the best 2025 filled with good fortune and health. :-)

[@eagleyezxgaming]

You changed how I look at games and how I currently play them. I love tactical realistic shooters, but as of late, they lack polishing, lore and performance. Your videos helped me to revisit the kid that loved PS2 and played everything. I made a schedule of what I'm going to play each month. 1 main AAA game and 1 indie 2D game or something similar to it. I've been playing Armoured Core 6, Cyberpunk 2077, Dragons Dogma 2, Ghost of Tsushima. But this year I'm focusing on 2 games per month (if I can help it). Keep making the videos you're making. You might be speaking about video games, but a lot of us play video games to manage life stress, and you've personally been a big help to me lately. God bless you brother.

[@j72ashley]

I'm 52 and over the past year or two I've finally realized how much my reaction to stress is really where the problems are from. I have tried to engage my "pause button" as much as I can. Idk much about this, but I can tell you 100% it only helps to have that small space between a stresser and my reaction to that stresser. Nothing bad comes from taking a moment to reflect and think before reacting. Man, it's hard when tensions rise but it is kinda my life goal right now, along with trying my best to use empathy wherever and whenever possible. Best of luck to you buddy!

[@ruinner]

Well said

[@TheRopiak]

I 'decluttered' my steam list by making a few categories based on How Long to Beat and some more like single player games I still want to play, arcade/MP games I still want to play and leave the rest as uncategorized. it helps me not get analysis paralysis when looking at my own steam library lol

[@CantFightRobots]

I love new year resolutions! Its always good to create some sort of REASON why you need to change habits. During the year you could do it any day so it doesn't actually happen. I love latching on to the idea that this is the time where you can lock in.

[@domi3457]

I just saw your video "the best moments happen offline" and I really loved it. I really like your video style, very entertaining just listening to your voice feels really good and just seems very authentic! You really inspire me to also produce some videos! :D I build a new PC in 2024 and changed a lot of my setup only the graphics card is left but I'll see which one I get. One thing I realized is that I really forgot how good single player games are and just how chill it is to lean back and dive into a game. But even though it is very fun I wanna get into something that allows me to meet some more people in 2025! I thought a bout joining a course of some sort. I hope you will be consistent again with working out and your mountainbiking!

[@Arophous]

Had a kid end of last year so getting time has not been as easy but still managed to play some banging titles and finally give up my live service addiction to Destiny 2. This year I’m aiming to explore some of everyone’s recent top picks on PS5/4 and consider getting a steam deck in a few months for emulation and pc gaming options.

[@auston]

This was such a chill and relatable video. I had a work injury last year that’s left my left wrist permanently altered with less range of motion and strength, and I also struggled this last year. Like you, I really want to get back into shape this year, declutter, and for myself I’d like to get better at guitar to hopefully free up my hand. Cheers to the new year man! I hope both can come out the other side for the better.

[@ryanf7441]

Great video. Honestly thought I was listening to myself talk about what I want to work on this year. I too am very chill until something super stressful happens and then it’s basically a coin flip if I’m going to buck up and handle it like a champ or if I’m going to flip out and spiral. Definitely something I am going to be intentional about this year

[@lukenukemx88]

Nearly the same goals here. Add on quitting alcohol for at least this month, probably longer (which will help the physical goals) and not buying any games or comics for myself this year. My backlog of both is outrageous (and I added more games during the winter steam sale), but I'm not going to stress about getting through them as fast as possible. Here's to a low stress year!

[@OneRandomVictory]

I tend to keep a rotation of around 3 games at a time so that I don't ever feel the need to force myself to play a game when I want to game but maybe are not up for that style of game that particular day. I also usually keep a fairly small backlog of less than 20 games at a time and try to avoid impulse purchasing every game on sale. As it is, I have enough games to last all of 2025 and have plenty of games from the last decade to catch up on. As for stuff I'm looking at next year: Exodus, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Crimson Desert, The Midnight Walk, Ghost of Yotei, Skate Story, MGS Delta Snake Eater, Eternal Strands

[@Link1309]

I really love your videos and most of the time you really speak right out of my soul.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

[@Cloud92390]

I’ve taken a break from buying games and just played what I have for now. Ignore sales on Steam til I finish more games

[@marni6483]

For Christmas i got myself a VR set. Literally the best thing for me in the latest years. At first i was like "oh, i might not have the time to use it, i might not like it as much, i already have a great PC and use it regularly, do i really want that headset?" But i still got it... And the second i put it on and saw the virtual world... i knew i made the right decision getting one. Not questioning myself why i got it, but being granted because i did!

[@MateriaHunterVII]

I only focus on 1 game at a time now because of you! First game i am currently playing in 2025 is Ocarina of time and i almost beat it already. Previously i would play tons of games and put about 30 hours into them and drop them.

[@kiekeyz]

Love these kinda videos. Good luck with the journey my friend!

[@m1kesoul]

Happy new year dragoon. I wish you the best in 2025 man. I completed my first play through of half life on Christmas Day, as well as Blue Shift, and I’m about to wrap up opposing force. Thanks to you I gave half life a shot and now it’s my favorite game/series. It really made me fall back in love with video games and gave me a whole new perspective on gaming.

[@bartomiejciesluk4241]

Hey, Man - Happy New Year 2025! I’ve been watching you for a short time (two months maybe), but already you’ve helped me manage my backlog in a new and more efficient way. My MO is to play 3 different games (genres) at a time and enjoy every moment of it without FOMO or pressure from the backlog. Thanks to this I’ve managed to get back to the games I loved but abandoned years ago due to craving for more and more games, more sales opportunities, etc. Now I’m in the process of decluttering my games list, movies and also my personal space. I meditate a lot and I really recommend doing this to everyone - changed my life completely with this self-awareness the meditation applied to my life. It changed everything, my anxiety, my fears, my reactions and from what you’re saying it o could help you as well. Small steps lead to great results and I keep my fingers crossed for you, good man. All the best for you all, people! Peace and love :)

[@LittleBitOfThisNThat]

Main focus for me this year is getting fitter. Always been into the gym-weights. But never really thought about cardio side of things, mainly because I don't enjoy it. But this year I'm going back to an old hobby in swimming & having some consistency with it. Day 4 of this year and it's going well. Gaming I'm hoping to let take a back seat. Will definitely still be playing. But I want to be a little more productive with my time rather than aimlessly playing. :)

[@MrValkilmer35]

I remember why i gravitated to your videos for gaming and some personal life philosophy. I have a philosophy degree and think about what makes a good life very often and hobbies are a big part of mine. I'm looking forward to gaming in the new year but also getting back into kayaking by joining a local club. Cheers man!

[@Villager1824]

I’ve really been struggling with lust here for the last year since I became a man of god. I really want to break away from the curse of lust. I know lust is not something that you can eliminate but I can use techniques to mitigate it and as the Bible says, flee away from it!

[@Srom]

From one Christian to another get some accountability brother. Reach out to someone in your church. There are people who have struggled with what you’re going through. They can give you tips and help come alongside you. :) Keep your chin up and remain the course to battle against lust. It’s not easy but in the end it’s for the better.

[@drumd00d]

It’s actually crazy how similar your resolutions are to mine, personal and with games. I used to write down what games I wanted to play in which month and complete that throughout the year. I realized I should just play what I want when I want and not feel obligated. I’m near the end of the horror game Faith, and after that I’m going to leave things completely wide open. The only games I can see myself “locked to” upon release are Pokémon ZA and Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. Also, what you said about decluttering is 100% true. I’m bad at getting rid of stuff, and at least made space for everything and boxed things into organized storage in 2024. But now I want to get rid of what I don’t really want, it’s not helping me mentally or financially and I think it will benefit me (and others who receive it)

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Metal Gear Detla is going to be so good I think, I absolutely can't wait. And thank you! Yeah the declutter thing I have to get on this year. It's silly to carry boxes for years that I don't touch and I think it does add to mental load

[@bgildersleeve]

I followed your advice of focusing on one game at a time recently. I've enjoyed it, but found that occasionally I just really felt like something different. I think having a single primary game is still a good idea, but I now have one or two "secondary" games to switch to temporarily if I'm feeling like a change of pace.

[@aegisleague4053]

I tend to have 2 or 3 running at any one time. Not just for having something different but also since I don’t always have the time to give to a longer game and I just want to jump in and out of something.

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Right on and I feel similarly. I loved last year, and it felt really manageable but also a bit too structured I think for my tastes, at least right now

[@schizo_fox]

i usually have some game that i play to beat, and one or two to play.

[@MacAssassin23]

Love the videos man. Glad you’re back lol

[@jacobaldrich8604]

Highly recommend Returnal for PS5. As someone who also has a goal of playing more intentionally, it was a game I thoroughly enjoyed playing every moment I was playing it. Story, atmosphere, and gameplay all kept my full attention.

[@Selrisitai]

I only struggle with playing games that I have a strong suspicion I may not like. Right now I've got Yugioh: Fobidden Memories, Megaman Legends II and The Legend of Dragoon in my rotation. They're all different types of games, with different levels of required focus. I therefore switch between them in accordance with how invested I can be, or of course, what mood I'm in. The key here is that they're all games I already know I like, so rather than agonizing about when and if to play, I can just check my mood and fire up whichever I want.

[@styraxx]

I relate to you on the part where you said about being strict on playing one game only till finishing it. It was kinda tiring and I did a little self reflection on that and realized that when I was younger I enjoyed playing multiple games than just playing only one at a time. So that's what I'm going to do this year. I won't limit myself to just one game at a time so I can really enjoy gaming as a whole again

[@iimJacKaL]

Glad to have come across this video, good luck brother and make the most of this year! And thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@alphatucanaletsplay]

Control of the mind and your reactions - a) anticipate those situations so you're ready! b) it's all about catching yourself as the reaction begins and before it has manifested... c) perhaps you don't react that way when you're in certain situations, like at work, or in front of the boss, if you have one: maybe you can channel that mindset a bit and be professional in danger situations; d) something that promotes spiritual growth or psychological change, like prayer if you're a believer, or meditation otherwise, may assist with dis-identifying with yourself (ego).

[@joshfoustcommunity8928]

If you have stuff that you really love, and even if you haven’t touched it for years, don’t get rid of it, you’ll have that instant regret of getting rid of it, even I have stuff that I haven’t touched in years, and I have kept it because I love it, there’s people out there that are really lucky to have lots of stuff that they love, and you should cherish it!

[@ShibaVex]

Just bought RDR2 and I’m looking forward to playing it for the first time. The campaign should take me a good portion of the year to fully complete. I enjoy taking games slow and when I feel like I complete one I’ll then move on to the next game. Love the content, keep it up!

[@sebastian19978]

Never thought a podcast from when I was in high-school brought me here. Thank you for your perspectives

[@cfusion116]

State management and declutterring…..yes!!! My man. That’s two of my goals too. Also there’s research that suggests setting huge goals, even ones you don’t fully achieve can bring that accomplishment and satisfaction. Worth checking out.

[@beanwizzle15]

Just a tip from your ole pal Poop. Getting into shape without a disciplined diet and physical goals (weight and strength levels) can be somewhat useless (exaggerating). You get sooooo much more out of working out if you have a diet that caters to what you are getting out of your workout. If you are lifting weights and not eating enough food it’s just going to make you more sluggish and fatigued whereas if you are properly fueling your body, it will be more uplifting and energizing on a day to day basis. Happy new year!

[@kraftysandwich]

In August I had to sell my launch PS5 due to finances. Then my wife surprised me with a new slim for an early Christmas gift. I saw that as a new fresh start. Started a new PSN and I’ve bought my first five games. Most of them were Christmas gifts from family. I think going forward I will only play a few games at a time before impulse buying a bunch of games in a sale. I’ve also been trophy hunting again to really get the value out of my games. Also my spreadsheet I made is a godsend. This hard reset on gaming was really what I needed. Can’t wait to see what all adventures I get to experience in 2025!

[@stiritup3693]

Thanks for the vid & Happy New Year! My recommendation is a game called Parking Garage Rally Circuit on Steam. It's an arcade drifter that has you racing/drifting through parking garages across different cities in the US. It has that 5th gen console/Sega Saturn look to it which I love. Super fun and only takes a couple hours to play through all the tracks with the different cars you can unlock. It's also getting steam workshop support soon so people can make custom tracks too which is awesome.

A hack to decluttering your ward robe: Pick clothes from the bottom and put newly washed clothes on top. That way you pick something new every day and can decide on ONE piece of clothing if it's to be thrown out, recycled or if you want to keep it. And it literally only takes a few seconds extra every few days instead of several hours at one point

[@GabrielRodriguez-l9w]

I try to have 3 game options when I finally have time to play, and depending on what mood i'm on I will choose one of the 3 (Comfort, grinding, multiplayer) . Right now those 3 are GTA IV (comfort) New World Aeternum (grinding), and Helldivers 2/ The Finals (multiplayer). I'll give whichever one a go for 30min, and if I'm still hooked I'll keep playing it, but if i'm getting bored I have 2 others on the list

I just bought 7 games yesterday on the Steam sale, but I’m hoping to behave more casually with my gaming. Not forcing myself to stick to a game I’m just not in the mood for. No more backlog guilt, and just treat gaming like the fun hobby it’s suppose to be.

[@happymask8042]

I finished 15 games in 2024 and my backlog game of the year was Psychonauts 2. But I played a lot of great games like Assassin's Creed Origins, It Takes Two, Spiderman Miles Morales, The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and more. Right now I'm working through Indiana Jones and I just restarted Kingdom Hearts 3 since I never finished it. I also plan on playing FFXVI, Star Wars Outlaws, and a bunch of other games I have on my list. I'm not setting my goal at 15 or 16 though. I'll stick with 12. Anything beyond that is just icing.

[@goodfractalspoker7179]

When you say finished do you plan on going back to them? For me I only do permadeath play throughs so I don’t really finish many games lol

I got my first PlayStation in 4 years. A lot has changed since then, I am now a father of 3, plus a puppy. Now my newly purchased backlog looks like this: FF7Rebirth, TLOU2, GOW Ragnarok, Metaphor Refantazio, Ghost of Tsushima, Dead Souls Remake, Dead Space Remake, Helldivers 2, Path of Exile 2 and I gotta tackle at least SOME of it before Monster Hunter Wilds comes out which will last me a year. These are all incredible games but given their depth and nature juggling em makes for confusing gaming sessions sometimes.. I wish I could just grab one and finish it before I get bored but damn that Ragnarok game is tedious af, Rebirth to a lesser extent too

What works best for me is sticking to 3 different games at a time. 1 big open world/ rpg type game, 1 linear/ story driven game, and then a “for fun” game which for me usually ends up being a platformer or smaller indie type game.

[@Hersendood]

About juggling multiple games; I’ve been trying to stick with a game when I am having fun with it, rather than starting a new one and having that new-ness dopamine make me fall off from the other game I was enjoying. Just asking myself: was I having fun with that game? If so let’s play it. Even if I may not feel like it in the moment, I find myself getting back into a game really easily. Keeping track of how many hours a game is, how many I’ve played and how many are left also seems to help finish games. I got “games I’m playing, games I want to play, maybe games and games I finished” on it as categories. Trying to be real with myself and adding games I stopped playing to the list, so that maybe I figure out why I stop playing some games and continue others! Been loving mass effect, just started the 3rd one. Picking up an Rog Ally X to play legacy of kain and the thing remastered at my gf’s place where I spent most of my time. Gaming is starting to feel like a doable, realistic hobby between other things in my life, rather than this distraction and that’s neat.

If you want something more relaxing and more archaic, namco museum volume 1 2 3 4 5 and encore is the perfect games, it has you go through a museum with music in the background looking at history, and all volumes are on PlayStation 1, volumes 1 through 5 are American, while encore is Japanese, the first 5 volumes are fully translated to Japanese to English, and I think a calm museum enjoying arcade games is a really relaxing time!🙂

Have you tried out rock climbing? It's such an amazing sport, and feels like playing a videogame in a lot of ways. :) As for not spiraling and overreacting, that one's tough. There are a LOT of different tools out there, but I can't think of any off the top of my head, aside from just changing perspective on things.. but that usually still takes tools to get outside the spiral.

Hey mate! Physiotherapist here - long time viewer, first time poster. Regarding your comment of returning to sports: I totally agree, with what you are suggesting. The guidelines today in "return to sports" are to keep the overall plan for the training regime conservative. If you want 5 trainings x per week. Start aiming for 3 and build from there. Mentally, we see a big difference if you hit 3 training sessions per week. --> But in one scenario, you also aimed for 3 sessions per week (awesome! Feeling you achieved your goal!) --> The other you aimed for 5 (Sucks! Feeling like otter failure) But in booth scenarios, you trained 3 times that week🤷‍♂️ Every training counts. 1 training in 7 days can keep alot of your current gains for up to 35+ weeks!

i am so excited for 2025 too as i am basically in a blank slate, had a break-up with a girl recently and I couldn’t ask for more peace. hmm for games i am basically aiming on finishing one or two per month on my PS4 and X360 (i am taking time so i can savor it and yes i am a college student) and also try other games that are not my unsual style eg; stardew valley, little nightmares, ratchet and clank while sitting aside a little my phone and social media for more better clarity and peace losing weight is also a dream of mine and I can finally do it Then also focus on my hobbies especially filmmaking, making art and cooking. and regulating my emotions especially in difficult situations though i am pretty much slightly good of it recently there are just times i would overreact and not think of what to say and procrastination especially school works haha i am aiming on finishing one by one slowly That’s pretty much it for this 2025 plans, i am happy that i am no longer burdened by someone and can focus developing myself.

I've removed distraction and not playing anything until I can fix my career stuff so that's my 2025, I hope I get to enjoy games once again soon hehe, and thanks to you I've been and will be more intentional with my games, and I do play multiple ones at a time hehe 1 chill game (which you can play for 5 mins, like farm frenzy or something), 1 Indie (Strategy or Metroid Vania) and 1 big title (possibly open world) All on hold for now tho, have a great 2025 man, discovered your channel late 2024, never left, it's really good stuff you got here

Monster hunter, that’s the one game I’m waiting for

[@animationmann]

Having a Backlog i have simple Rules if i dont feel satisfied playing that after One Hour it gets dropped simply so that i get immersed without distraction and give it a fair chance. To get through the Choice struggle i simply put them into a Collection next to play so its not the entire Backlog destroying me haha. The Steam Deck really helps with that a lot for this 3 Months at least gonna be buying no Games to actually getting to pay them rather than collecting them.

Happy new year to you

[@BBKDRAGOON]

Thank you! Cheers to 2025

[@ArtemMosov]

Your videos are finally back

[@Corgieg]

I'm so looking forward to Avowed and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2!! The Space Engineers 2 Alpha drop should be fun as well

[@MilošHranisavljević]

There is one sort of gamers that can play same game forever and that is a RTS gamer

[@PixeIPrez]

For me I'm just gonna stop obsessing over finishing games even if I've lost interest. I used to take pride in at least finishing the games I bought but when that becomes the priority over simply having fun then what's the point? I used to be similar in that I could only play one game at a time but now I'm playing 2 or 3 at the same time which is what I did when I was a kid. I'm also off social media for 2025.

[@aarongeorge2906]

I’m most looking forward to ghost of yotei. You should also try it if you get the chance 😃

[@BBKDRAGOON]

@@BBKDRAGOON Thanks! Happy New Year!

[@willi0904]

Just wanna be selective about my games this year, buy with intent. Really looking forward to DOOM: The Dark Ages and I’m hoping Starfield will get a release on PS5 this year. Currently playing through Skyrim for my first time and what a game! But after that I really need som sci-fi and Starfield could really be it, if it lands on PlayStation.

[@christophersc2038]

What is the name of the first game in the video?

[@AlexandruGrigoras7]

So, changing how to react to situations and people can be challenging BUT Even the most challenging games, like Dark Souls right? - if you understand how it works, and practice a bit - you master that shit Whenever we have those thought loops, and whenever we stress, the brain it's just doing it's job. Protecting us by making us aware by potential danger. In the old ages we used to have to be stressed if the presence of a tiger was probable, right? So we don't die. That's the awareness that kept us alive and wary of danger. And even now the brain works the same. Our job is to be aware about what we can control and what we can't. This can be tricky, as we usually work in a certain way and it's normal for ourselves to function like this. We identify as being how we were until now. But just as you said, small consistent steps take you a long way, If we have the intention to be aware of how we act, and understand it. Also understand that the brain it's just doing it's job, making us aware And that we can choose what we think (it's a choice wether we stay with the thoughts or not) Then we can change from a stressed person to a person who isn't, or at least, not as much. You feel the thoughts, but let them go, realizing that you do whatever you can (internal locus of control), and you leave whatever variables are not in your power to control (external locus of control) juse be, if you can't do anything about it - right? Like in Dark Souls. Do you have any power other than what you do? And yet, as you play, nothing changes, aside from you. You just become better at parrying and attacking - and you master that shit. Same is in life, i believe. And i found it to be hard to change. Because this is my identity! That's what my brain believes! But just think back on a thing that you used to do one way And now you do it differently. It's gonna point out, and you'll remember again that we are not our thoughts, or our behaviours. Even this stressful behavior, can be changed, just like we change the way we play games - by being intentional about it and doing things as we intent... a step at a time. Sometimes we'll fail. We'll die in Dark Souls or we'll get stressed. Then we just have to keep getting back up and do it again. You'll master Dark Souls if you keep getting up with the intention to do it right? You'll be how you want to be if you keep getting back up and intend to act how you want to be, taking another step. You're practicing who you want to be as you do so DAMN
