I watch your channel because of you, not for all the games.  There are a million channels that cover the latest and greatest game.  The reason I like and watch your content is because you offer a wonderful and different viewpoint than many others, on whatever content you’re talking about.   You’re very well spoken with an honest and open take on various gaming topics.  I feel like you would actually dilute your quality by covering all the new games.  

Even today’s video, this is great stuff.  I’m guilty of going to HLTB.. but lately I’ve decided to say “screw it” and just play, get lost, enjoy the game for what it is, and how I want to experience it. It’s really a lesson that transfers to life.  Being present wherever you are. Put your phone down, give your 100% attention to where you are, who you are with, whatever you are doing.  It’s too easy to be distracted with a million things.  I have 4 kids… I would know.. lol.  I’m really trying to bring more peace and slowness back into my life, amid the chaos of being parent.  Another excellent video, thank you.

Slow gaming is the way to appreciate video games for what they are… Art.  Love your channel. Cheers

I agree with you! I'm 53 and just now I play Alan Wake remastered, and I enjoy it very much. Regards from sLOVEnia

I had two weeks of vacation and was able to finish ff7 remake and Metroid prime 4 and start Cronos the new dawn. I noticed a difference in the enjoyment. When I work I don't have time, energy or the pleasure to enjoy the games, and that's when I noticed that a lot of things distract us from enjoyment in the daily stressful life: playing music, food, family, talk and listening, games, movies, books.

Its not always about the destination, its about the journey there.

Video games are amazing for decompressing 💯 done the right way of course!

I'm replaying TOTK on a much slower pace and I realized how much I missed just because I was so obsessed on just moving forward to the next big thing, now I'm enjoying every sunset I see in the game 🎴

Mine is no man's sky. Just getting lost in different universes and exploring planets and just doing whatever I feel like doing at that point in time.

Couldn’t have picked a better song for the video!

I always like to unwind after my day job, and play a game.

I'm 73 and back into gaming after 20 years and I'm 20 minutes into Hoa on my beloved Steam Deck. And I'm chasing butterflies for a floating larvae. lol. It's cozy over conflict for me. There's enough of that in our grander illusion.

This is the type of gaming I remember as a kid. Good times.

I’ll be 46 in July and I’m the exact same person😂

Work has been absolutely crazy lately. I'm taking two days off and having a 5 day weekend for crimson desert. With zero rush. I needed this video. Thank you

I really take my time on games. That's why I don't always finish them all.  Ongoing playthroughs I can jump back into.

Never rush through any game.  I believe it not only does a disservice to the player by missing out on so many details that are fun to look at. It also does a disservice to all those hard at work people who made the game. I literally love walking around a video game world, looking at the details that would go unnoticed if I rushed.   It's why if I hear a certain game takes most players 30 hours to complete, that same game will take me 60 plus because I love to look at details.  If a character has the ability so walk very slow and it's a stealth game.  I'll walk very slowly, as it is more fun and makes it feel like I'm in the game.   Anyways, games are meant to be truly experienced, I don't see the point of trying to go fast to get through a game.  Stop, take a look at the flooring inside that spooky house in the game that the game developers took the time to make.  Life in regards to gaming, isn't about how many games you got through, it's about the deep memories of each one in the details.

Makes me happy that you’re a Phillies fan. Can’t wait for the season to start. I enjoy your videos here on this channel. Keep doing what you’re doing man!

I deleted my backlog of games several years ago. Best decision I ever made when it comes to games. It just made me stressed out and I rushed from game to game to get through the list. If the game was important, it will pop up again, dont worry. I also stopped playing games that I dont enjoy that much. I used to finish games just so I can play the next game, or finishing it just because I paid for it. But now I just stop playing. Time is more scarce than money. Instead, I spend more time with games I truly enjoy.

Hello Clayton
Big fan of your content
This is one of my goals this year
To slowly enjoy my games and play on easy or normal mode I have no idea what I am trying to prove by playing on hard
I have to stop worrying about how many games I have left in my backlog I realise how lucky I am

I watch your content not for the latest games or trends but because I value your perspective and opinion on games and the industry.

I work full time and I have other social hobbies and as an older gamer I appreciate games more by taking my time and enjoying the moments more and the urgency of completing games and keeping up with latest trend of games is now gone. Thanks for posting I can relate. I’m currently playing Kena Bridge of Spirits and Ghost of New Eden
