Too much media to consume, too little brain storage to retain

Where are the people that binge consume media for hours straight? Do you guys have this problem where you forget half of the story/what happened cause after you finish binging, you hop on the next one, causing the memories to somewhat blend into each other? It’s a recurring problem for me, and it’s a bit annoying, but sometimes, I like forgetting. I like being able to replay/watch/read stuff like it’s the first time, but it’s really annoying when I want to discuss it with other people.

I know the fix is probably NOT binging… but I can’t help it! If I start something I enjoy, I have this urge to finish it until I pass out in deep slumber. The amount of times I've had to rewatch gameplay of a game I already finished is ridiculous, why is my memory only lacking in this department? I can barely remember names too unless I take a GOOD look.

i don't really binge but this happens to me a lot with my favorite show... does not help that each episode is around 2-10 minutes and SO much happens in each one, shit flies over my head so easily 😭 I'm on my first rewatch and it feels like im rediscovering everything again

same thing with games too, especially super lore packed ones. it makes me feel bad like im a fake fan because at most it feels like i just got the gist of the whole thing but it's probably just my adhd brain having horrible memory



Omg true, the first rewatch is genuinely an experience, it's the only time my shit memory contributes something positive to my life.

I play a lot of VNs and story games, and they range from 2-10hrs to 30-100hrs, and best believe I'll forget 90% of it. It's hell.
