There’s a strange confidence that comes from repetition.

You tell yourself you’ve been here before. You know the rules. You’ve failed enough times to understand why you failed. Surely that means the next session will be smoother, calmer, maybe even successful.

That was my mindset the last time I opened Eggy Car.

It took less than a minute for the game to remind me that familiarity doesn’t equal mastery.

Why I Still Choose Casual Games When I’m Mentally Tired

When my brain feels overloaded, I don’t want stimulation — I want clarity.

Big games demand attention, memory, commitment. Casual games offer something different: a clean mental space. One mechanic. One goal. One problem to solve again and again in slightly different ways.

That’s why I keep returning to small, browser-based games. They don’t ask who I am or how skilled I think I am. They just ask me to play honestly.
