For me it’s trying to remember what I was doing, realizing I’m right outside the door of an extremely difficult boss that I’d given up on, and now i also have no idea how to play anymore. At that point I either uninstall the game to wait longer or I flush the save and start anew.
I was knee deep in a plot to get one of my children on the throne of France in CK3 when I stopped playing. I was doing something like setting up a matrilineal marriage with the very old king’s grandson of his second born son while plotting to murder the firstborn son. The king’s firstborn son managed to pop out an heir which I had to murder as well. What was funny was how om board all of the baby king’s court was with murdering him. Basically everyone joined in lol.
I did this with Death Stranding a few weeks ago, and was trying to decide whether to continue and not know what was going on or just play from the start. But I ended up finding a playthrough from a streamer I like on Youtube, so I just watched those to get caught up.
I took break from Silent Hill 2. I logged in and used up all my health and shot at a door. Had no idea what the buttons were. After reloading, I was a like, “Ah, great… What the fuck am I looking for?”

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
I do not know who I am. I do not know why I am here. All I know is that I must kill.
Ope, that was fun. Time to eat.
Is that Rodney Mckay?

Worse, it’s quentin tarantino
Bullshit. All modern games have detailed quest trackers.
All of them, every single one. And nobody ever plays anything else. Of course.
Ah, yes I was fetching onions for lord farkwad.
Fishing?

When you’re 50, it’s 7 days.
And forget having two games on the go at the same time
Leave yourself notes! On PC, Steam Categories and desktop shortcut names are enough for little hints and nudges.
In sandbox games you can use signs to make a todo list.
Valheim: signs posted next to bed (spawn)
Hot damn, that sounds like the best combination golf and fishing trip ever!
Steam literally has a notes feature for this exact thing
Do I have to write the notes, or does steam do
magiccommunity notes?They’re your notes. Pull them up in Steam Overlay.
Man i miss log books like in pokemon platine (a thing that recall the 20 last actions you did before you saved when you load a save)
