How do you "miss" a game the first time around?

Bro, I have so many games on my backlog that I'm not gonna play a game juuust because it interested me for a slight second; because I did that before and now I have a zillion games I bought on Steam that I've barely ever touched. On top of that, I'm a grown ass man who only has like.. 4-5hrs to myself each day, and I also gotta fit essentials like cleaning up, paying bills, showering, non-gaming hobbies, and etc. to that time.

What I'm trying to say is it takes A LOT for a game to actually leave my wishlist these days, and even then, I'd usually rather just replay a game that I know is already good than take a dive and risk being disappointed.
I feel this entire post - especially the last sentence - in my soul.
