Anyone else feels like they are forcing themselves to play "good" games?

Not sure, if it is age related, but I have been noticing that sometimes it feels like I am forcing myself to play games that are considered "great" and I question if there is something odd with me.

Like when I was a teenager, I played so many genres, and it feels like I became more close minded on what I enjoy?

I have this weird fear of missing out, so I almost force myself to play these games.

For example, I enjoyed Cyberpunk and Kingdom Come Deliverance but I cannot get myself to play Death Stranding, Days Gone, God of War. I didn't enjoy Helldivers 2 and Star Wars Outlaws, but got stuck playing Stalker 2, Civilization 7 and Deep Rock Galactic.

I know these games are not related to each other, but just wanted to use them as examples as myself being open to different genres and styles.

The barrier to entry in games is so high (+ the learning curve) and sometimes it feels that after playing a video game for 5 hours, I have a sunk cost fallacy that I have to continue playing it to give it a chance.

Like I didn't like Breaking Bad right away, but after 3 episodes I got hooked. I feel the same way about games. Just played Days Gone and Star Wars Outlaws each for about 8 hours or so, but it felt like I was forcing myself, instead of being genuinely excited about coming back into that universe.

It almost feels like a chore?

How do I know if I am not giving the game a chance VS it is genuinely not for me.

Meta Ads: What is the point of creating multiple ads if Meta just decides to completely ignore them?

Feeling frustrated, and not sure of a solution beyond "just have a separate ad for each adset".

I have a campaign with a $200 daily budget, and Meta completely ignores the other 3 ads I have created. It didn't even bother to spend a single CENT. These are not just blue vs red ads. Each ad has a unique design and copywriting angle and hook.

Is there a way to force Meta to show all ads within the adset, similar to LinkedIn "rotate ads evenly"?

I am using Mixpanel to track special actions performed by the user on the application. However, it looks like there is no native integration for conversion events (only cohorts/audiences).

AI told me that the best way to do it is via Webhooks/Zapier. I've setup a Zapier Webhook for Mixpanel and created a 30 minute cohort export there. Then the Google Ads zap imports this data as an offline conversion.

Is this the correct way to do it? Or am I totally off target.

What is the best way to send conversion data from Mixpanel to Google Ads?

I've spent countless hours in Anno 1800 and Anno 1404, and was excited about Anno 117.

However, I never pulled the trigger on purchasing it due to mixed steam reviews and just waiting for a major sale.

With that said, why are people disliking the game? YouTubers I watched had pretty good time with the game and Metacritic scores are quite decent too.

I am curious for those that played Anno 1800/1404 (without DLCs) how does it compare to Anno 117?

What do you like and hate the most about it?

1 month ago, I asked for advice on this sub and most people said to stay away from Walmart type bikes and look into a quality used bike for my price range. I ended up going through local bike stores and found discounts on old stock!

Scored myself Norco Indie 2 - 2023 edition, just a few bucks over $500. My second best option was Kona Dew. A pleasant surprise - my province has no local tax on bicycles so the price is really exactly what you pay.

Really glad with the purchase and quality.
