"That was a really good match!"

Sorry, just a random thought entering my head. And I'm speaking mostly of FPS multiplayer games where a team vs. team is involved.

How many times have you entered into an MP game, busted your ass, won, everything was perfect and you say to yourself, "WOW! That was an amazing game!" And then just completely forget about it weeks later. I just had that experience again with a random round of "Paladins" and it occurred to me that this is an ongoing thing. Deja vu. "I've felt this way many times before," and so on. I think the brain sort of triages this stuff as, "Oh yeah, that's not important stuff" and it goes right in the back, to ebb and fade quicker than the rest. Some of them stick better than others, but probably 90% of them are completely gone. Yet I KNOW I've been in exactly this place before.
