Discussion Do you repeat playing games/ films/ series/ books you like?

[Forever Sleep]

I guess maybe music is the most forgiving when it comes to repetetive enjoyment. For me anyway. There's that weird sweet spot when I've listened to a current favourite song enough times to thoroughly appreciate it, before overlistening it- which is almost inevitable with my very favourites.

I'll happily put series and films I know well on in the background repeatedly although, I probably won't enjoy them quite so much to intently watch them again.

Games are different though and, I really wish they weren't. Once I've played a game through, it loses so much if I return to it.

Is it the same for you? Or, maybe it holds the nostalgic charm? There are two games that I wish I could play right now- but like it was the first time I experienced them: 'Spiritfarer' and 'Eastshade'. Not that I should be playing games at all at the moment! I have work to do. I'm just procrastinating.

But, are there games/ films/ music/ books/ whatever- that if you could, you could experience as for the first time? Places too actually. Some feel enhanced by repeat visits while others start to feel boring.

Not that I go out much now but, when I did, my best experiences were sometimes when I did no research, so had little idea what to expect.

sometimes when i need to feel certain emotions, i like to re-open mangas i've already read just to re-read one specific part (often emotive and intense moments). similarly, i like to rewatch certain movies/tv shows scenes every once in a while, some of them just hit a sweet spot in my brain that makes me cry or give me that tingle of emotion.

it rarely happens to me with places though. i don't really get the chance to visit places of my past
