Do you ever get 'old save file anxiety'? I'm talking about that feeling when you do a replay of an old game, one that you played a lot in your youth perhaps, and you decide to dedicate two solid months to reliving that game, playing the campaign, trying to go for challenges you never did on previous playthroughs, et cetera. Let's say you started playing Morrowind again in March 2023 and you played it all the way through about May 8th, 2023. Then? You get bored, because you did everything you want to do, so one day, you just naturally stop playing again.
But now on Steam you see it says "Last played: eleven months ago", so you think, "hey what the hell let's go check it out."
This is where it all goes wrong for me. I always get a sense of anxiety walking around in an old save file, seeing my old inventory in stasis from how I left it months ago, seeing the incomplete quests I had never finished, all of it just gives me a weird anti-nostalgia, an anti-deja vu, a "I shouldn't be here" liminality of sorts.
I want to go back into my Vice City save file from last summer but I fear that'll happen again even though I had just about completed the campaign. I like the feeling of driving around to VCPR with the CATSANDDOGS cheat code for infinite rain.
Anyway, do you experience this?
