    For me it’s trying to remember what I was doing, realizing I’m right outside the door of an extremely difficult boss that I’d given up on, and now i also have no idea how to play anymore. At that point I either uninstall the game to wait longer or I flush the save and start anew.

    For me anyways, it’s less “what was I doing?” and more “how do I not be an incompetent combat derp?”

    I recently fired up God of War after a few months on a different game and promptly got slaughtered for the next 90 minutes straight until I could re-learn all the combos, special abilities, and enemy attack patterns.

    Leave yourself notes! On PC, Steam Categories and desktop shortcut names are enough for little hints and nudges.

      In sandbox games you can use signs to make a todo list.

      Valheim: signs posted next to bed (spawn)

    I was knee deep in a plot to get one of my children on the throne of France in CK3 when I stopped playing. I was doing something like setting up a matrilineal marriage with the very old king’s grandson of his second born son while plotting to murder the firstborn son. The king’s firstborn son managed to pop out an heir which I had to murder as well. What was funny was how om board all of the baby king’s court was with murdering him. Basically everyone joined in lol.

    I took break from Silent Hill 2. I logged in and used up all my health and shot at a door. Had no idea what the buttons were. After reloading, I was a like, “Ah, great… What the fuck am I looking for?”

    I did this with Death Stranding a few weeks ago, and was trying to decide whether to continue and not know what was going on or just play from the start. But I ended up finding a playthrough from a streamer I like on Youtube, so I just watched those to get caught up.
