When you forget you have a game on your Steam wishlist called "Everything." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have tried giving ChatGPT (or a similar AI that remembers things about you) the prompt: "Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like?" Here's what I got, which is a generous interpretation, but thematically close...
