Anyone have a video game or a movie or a book or anything else like that that you want to get into, but you just can't every time you try?
For me it's Red Dead Redemption 2. I just can't get through the winter prologue. It has idiosyncratic controls that I can't remember and the fucking lasso just doesn't work after I rebind 200 different buttons to adjust the controls to ESDF. And there's no quicksave, so every time I watch people enjoy the open stage of RDR2 it wants me to replay a long enough segment before I even can try and fail to lasso a dude again. I guess I should just mod the game to skip it and try again.
As reminded by some other discussion here, Outer Wilds. It should be satisfying, but I can't get past the boredom of the initial stage into actively solving the mysteries. In a similar vein, Pathologic 2. The original left an incredible impression on me, but I can't muster the willpower to dive into this one.
For a non-game example, Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Sounds like a show I'd really enjoy, but each time I think about its runtime, I flinch.
To quote the incoming vice-president of the United States: do it one bite at a time. It's definitely more of a young guy's anime, though.
