    I very much used to be in the mindset of "if I paid for this game, I must complete it." However, as I've gotten older, the lack of time to be able to stick to that has become increasingly more difficult. Even more difficult is coming to terms with the fact that I sometimes will just not complete a game nowadays. This is mainly due to sunk cost fallacy because I want my money and time spent to be "worth it" but ultimately, I've just been much happier moving on to the next thing rather than wasting more time with something that just wasn't keeping me engaged and interested.
    Like you said, YouTube has basically become a godsend for scratching the itch to know how the rest of a story plays out but not caring enough to play it myself. I can just put it on while I'm doing something else and not feel like I wasted my time but still got what I wanted. FFXVI is really starting to feel like I'll go that route as well which is a bit disappointing. I had high hopes knowing that CBU3 was behind this being a big fan of FFXIV.

    As much as I dislike the Sprint format, Red Bull have shown in the past that only having the 1 FP opens up the door slightly for them to not get the setup right thus introducing the slimmest of possibilities for a potential fight. Fingers crossed this lets the other 3 teams look a bit more competitive this weekend (provided they don't end up in the same boat with messing up the setup). If Ferrari are bringing their upgrades that they just ran at Fiorano that will also make things interesting.

    Of course I won't be surprised in the slightest if Max still flies away after lap 1 lol.

    Nobody is catching Verstappen, he's already ran away with the WDC and the WCC (literally just with his points alone). The fight is for P2 in both the WDC and the WCC. Ignoring Verstappen, this is probably the closest the rest of the field has been in some time. Very excited to see how the rest of the season plays out especially with Mercedes and AM also targeting Silverstone upgrades as well.
