If you get paralyzed picking which story game to play next, maybe getting really picky about which ones make the list and then literally roll the dice or use an RNG generator to pick one. If they are all good, and your gameplay spread across a long time with work and kids, then any “mood” you are in, in the moment, will be averaged out over time. If you get into a game and find it really just isn’t for you, give yourself permission to move on.

In short, make the decision less consequential to avoid paralysis. That was my method anyway, being in similar situation with life time constraints.

Windows detects media being played and shows you that inlay with controls. It must be detecting that stream somewhere being played, even if it isn’t obviously playing in a browser tab. You should be able to control whether it shows media controls on the lock screen.
