I hoard everything like a dragon and seldom use scrolls and such.

Go get a prostate exam.Often I'll start a game I'm really enjoying but I'll only play for the four or five minutes, save, then exit the game. I'll get up, go take a piss, or go grab a snack, come back, boot the game back up, play another five minutes, save, then exit the game.
Then I just sit there and wonder why I keep doing that.
Getting addicted to games that aren't even that good because they're so comfy e.g. the amount of time I spent with Total War, or recently playing the interesting but very unchallenging Gemfire

That is really a bad habit and you should fix it. Start using a dual monitor setup, like every other normal pervert.If I'm playing an RPG, I'll drop out every 45-60 minutes to watch porn for a few minutes. I just love fit women with big tiddies and fine bootox.
In sandbox games, I get drawn into trying to get out of the map, sometimes spending way too long sprinting and jumping into invisible walls.
I think the problem isn't you, but 99% of modern RPGs. Which ones aren't just shitter versions of old classics? I honestly want to know. I do need to explore more modern RPGs, if they're actually worth it.I tend to only play shit I've already played before these days, usually stuff from my teen years that I have a strong attachment to, because looking at whatever other game that gets recommended by friends saying "You need to play this!" usually has me thinking "This looks incredibly generic." or "Just looks like a shitter version of X" where X = a game I liked from my past.
It takes me a long time to work up the desire to actually learn to play some new game's system or to even put myself in the right mindset to make a start. I just don't care enough about finding new games anymore and the periods of time between the end of one big RPG and beginning another get longer and longer as I get older, which makes it easier and easier to just fall back to my old haunts, since we're talking years between playthroughs anyway. I find it a tiresome prospect to dump 60-100 hours into some RPG just for it to leave no lasting impression on me these days, and more often than not, that's exactly what happens regardless of how new or old the game is.
