I'm watching Todd's worst of 2013 (again), and I actually kind of wish he'd done a full review of "Love Me" by Lil' Wayne, just so he could have used "Bitches" by Mindless Self Indulgence as the ending tag.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
If it helps, brief, intense obsessions are all too familiar to me, albeit not with video games.
There was a week or two last year when I became obsessed with temporary traffic control and watched a bunch of instructional videos about flagging on YouTube...
Ech. I wish my interest in games didn't always manifest itself in brief, intense, obsessions. It's exhausting.
Okay but this actually kind of bothers me? I dunno if it's a problem or just one of those Things I do.
Well, what's the issue with it?
I can definitely relate to the whole "intense obsessions" thing (last year, anyone?), but at this rate I've kind of just come to accept it in myself as how I enjoy the games I do (my most recent case being my reignited interest in Burnout Paradise).
It's probably just a thing. My dad would agree (the house is filled with the sounds of Final Fantasy XIV as I type this), as would my Monster Hunter-loving friends; different folks enjoy different games in different ways. That's just the nature of gaming.

nowadays there seems to be such a great emphasis on doing things with one's mind that i wish to do simple, repetitive physical tasks for the rest of my days
like one of the golems in discworld
there is a beauty in making real, physical things change
Ha, Yup, im aware it’s four in the morning but I just wanna tell you im drunk and im kinda horny I know it gets annoying, but I been losing my grip Every woman I talk to I treat like a fair piss and it’s a bitch Mainly cuz I now consider you one I wanna let you go but every time I seem to screw up Now that’s the problem with the space that you occupy It’s going great and then the thought of you would cross my mind A box of wine and a carton of coffin nails will Convince me now would be a great time for hate mailin’ Like "Hey bitch! How the hell have you been? Remember me? We were dating and you slept with my friends!" I just thought that I’d remind you in case you ever forget it And train yourself to believe that you're not a terrible wretch ha You broke my heart into like a million pieces So here’s another dim-litted picture of my penis
If Grieves was as self-deprecating as he is here on the rest of his work, I might like him a bit better.
"Haha I'm a stupid sexist idiot, aren't stupid sexist idiots stupid?" isn't much better than "I am the most important musician currently alive", especially given that he's pulled the "nice guy" routine completely straightfaced before, but it's a little better.
1. it's cleaner than CAH, which means 1a. those adults (like me) who don't like being offensive or thinking dirty will enjoy it more 1b. you can play it with a wider audience, including non-adults, as well as with parents/grandparents
2. its mechanism -- simply relating adjectives to nouns -- is much less constrained than CAH's fill-in-the-blank mechanism, and allows for far more creative and out-of-the-box thinking.

I don't think I got nearly that far but I remember enjoying it (and getting hella mad when the sun finally set, every time)

It's like Mortal Kombat except your soul doesn't live on in an ancient kung fu master and is instead flattened like pancakes.

I just typed up a summary of every track in the Castlevania Symphony of the Night soundtrack, from memory.
Yeah, I just wasted an hour doing that. Well, not just that, I also got distracted listening to some music from other Castlevania games.
A2A > CAH

Part of the fun of CAH is the offensive/dirty content, of course, if you enjoy that kind of thing. Obviously not everyone does.
(i've never played A2A.)
it doesn't surprise me tbh
