Pre-2000s video games didn't need long tutorials. They had printed manuals, for one. And because each player owned only a few games, the player had to spend more time exploring each game. Ease of switching games since then ruined the incentive to persist.

2k+ games between GOG, EGS, Steam, PS5, etc.
"I don't know what to play"
FFS brain, get a grip.

Video games don't feel like they used to when you were a kid because once you outgrow child labor laws, you have more than two games to play in a year. Choice paralysis makes you less invested in learning 100% of any particular game. Pretzel explains

Scrolling through my phone for the right album to listen to.
I can't find any that quite fit what I'm looking for. Scrolling, scrolling, up & down, scrolling. 20 mins.
Maybe I need more albums, I think. I check how many are on my phone.
1035 albums, 11,689 tracks.

Today in #ChoiceParalysis, I've been waffling over a new #monitor to buy for home. I broadly know what I want (32”, 4K, flat, not-ultra-wide), but am unsure how to evaluate monitors with built-in #KVM switches* and the ports that they provide.
(Why-y-y-y hasn't everything moved to use USB-C/Thunderbolt for everything already? What is this DisplayPort/HDMI nonsense?)
This is mainly for #HomeOffice work; I do very little gaming, and basically zero gaming of the sort where the monitor makes a big difference.
I want to be able to switch between a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini, using a wired keyboard and a wireless mouse. (Having a separate mouse for each computer is fine; a separate keyboard is not.)
The leading contenders after all the reading I've done are:
- #BenQ PD3220U https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/professional/pd3220u.html
- #Dell U3223QE https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-32-4k-usb-c-hub-monitor-u3223qe/apd/210-bdph/monitors-monitor-accessories
Currently leaning towards the BenQ.
I have a feeling that either of these will be more than enough for my needs.

We might have to replace a knackered kitchen appliance.
A 'White Good'
It also has to fit a specific-non standard space

Flying to England on Saturday and once again struggling to choose which colours/palettes to bring. Halp.

As a gamer, how do you deal with #ChoiceParalysis? How do you pick what to play next with so much to choose from?
I have a #Steamdeck packed with 15 years of Humble Bundles and giveaways. A #MiSTerFPGA, a #RetroPie, a #MiyooMini, each with tens of thousands of games. I have shelves bending under the weight of cartridges and disc games...
But I spend more time browsing long lists, anxious about picking the "wrong" game, than playing.

@mattsheffield This. Provide a way to automate the choice of server, maybe a round robin method like the old Linux distro mirrors used to work.
#ChoiceParalysis turns people off when presented with ten-page restaurant menus or thirty eight kinds of shampoo at the supermarket, and it's probably turning people off of the #Fediverse.
Give people an onramp.

I'm working to add #Tootpick
https://github.com/Juerd/tootpick
to my website, which is statically built. I need some way to add a Tootpick link to each permalink, and I want to do it client-side via JavaScript (Tootpick needs JS anyway). So I need to add this JS to all the webpages, and I'm having #choiceParalysis on how to do it. Modify the base page template, or add a builder setup option?(TBF, this is partially the fault of my builder, #ikiwiki, which isn't really friendly on this side of things).
