My "strange habit" in gaming is, that i can play like 12 hours straight, i lose sense of time completely if the game is good, sadly games are not that good anymore, but once in a while when WoW expansion or Diablo style games comes, i play like mad man and i love the feeling.

I somehow keep collecting armor sets in RPG games with a mind to upgrade it and use it later. Never did. Since I find better and better gear throughout the game.
Kind of bad habit which builds my backlog: I do not play newly released games. Given the state games are released right now, I always wait for fully updated, game of the year, complete edition with all the expansions. I think I finally layed Witcher 3 with all expansions last year, years after release date. Same will happen with Cyberpunk.

Probably more of a good one than a "strange bad habit" but I can't replay games. There are only 3 that I've ever played again after finishing - Gothic 2, Freelancer and Silent Hill 2. After that I just can't play a game that I already finished no matter how I loved it. Even recently tried to play Gothic 2 again and some others older games but just couldn't get back into them. Once I am done, I am done. Even if for some reason I couldn't end I can't play them again after months or years neither from the save or anew (like with both Divinity: Original Sin. The first one my GPU died somewhere at 60 hours into the game, the sequel - my ram broke shortly after I started Act 3 - at least I learned I didn't miss anything worthy on that one).
Also why I can't play MMO's for longer than 1-2 month (except Lord of the Rings Online and Neverwinter Online). But on others like Lineage 2, WoW, Eve Online, Elder Scrolls, Guild Wars etc the most I can do it so finish the story and/or get to max level with 1 character and never touch them again.

My biggest gaming stupidity, collecting shit even though I actually hate it. To this day I have no idea why I wasted time collecting feathers and packages, stupid. I also collect things in rpgs "for later use". By the time I want to use it, either the item is obselete or the game ends. I suck.
I play few games now though, so I rarely play bad games.

The only strange habit that I have is starting too many games at the same time, but unless I feel particularly disgusted by my biggest archenemies such as excessive grind, arcade-ness and awesome buttons, I always finish them...eventually. I just enjoy having various different experiences available so that I can jump from title to title without feeling too much fatigue.
When there's a game that particularly grabs me I do manage to focus and dedicate all my time to it like a hermit though, it's been a rarity in the past couple of years but...it can definitely happen. Kingdom Come, Subnautica, Hollow Knight, Disco Elysium (and so on) all managed to make me go full giggity just like the old times, and hopefully I'll be able to find more genuine enjoyment among the ones that are still inside my backlog sack.

I tend to postpone finishing the games I enjoy 'a lot'.
I also keep (reinstalling and) returning to games that made me feel immersed into their universe: Rapture, Sevastopol, Athkatla, The City, PATHOS-II.
