It took me a long time to learn this: If you are not having fun, just stop. If you still want to know how it ends, read or watch a summary.

Life's too short to be wasted on mediocrity.

Took me way to long to learn this lesson. I also found just because an audiobook is horrible, doesn't mean I wouldn't love the physical novel. Sometimes it comes down to the narrator.

True, especially for videogames

Read a novelization of Planescape Torment, watch a video about Outer Wilds etc... if you don't enjoy the gameplay

Sometimes, especially with books, you have to give it a chance.
