Do you tend to save some games for certain occasions?

I do, absolutely. I've always had a certain level of "I'm saving this game until [x]" but it only became a rule when I started participating on PAGYWOSG on this site five years ago. Now I save games until they fit into that event and I have enough time in the month to tackle them. In addition to that there's also a handful of games I've kept untouched because they are short and "light weight" on my laptop, and I'm planning to play them when I have to go to the hospital. This has been postponed many times due to the pandemic and me not being a priority patient.

I also keep putting off my console games, which are their own story entirely. I keep saving many of those for a moment when I'd have big motivation to get invested and properly situated on the couch, but leaving PC is so darn hard. :P

I don't plan my games based on occasion, but rather how I feel. If a game I've finished had left me wanting for a deep story, I'll hop for that from my backlog. If I feel a game felt too much after finish, I tend to play simulations. I do mix them often times, but I don't think I've ever played any games based on any occasion. Well... wait... there was actually. I've played both A Plague Tale: Innocence and GreedFall and Vampyr and fitted great during the 2020 pandemic. It was nice to feel like it's the right fit. Now I feel like I should have thought about it more.
