I'm going to admit it. I'm just hyped out at this point. The Tian Xia announcement was pretty darned cool. The HotW announcement was moderately shiny. Even if it was mostly for people who are not me, it was nice to see them get theirs. Kineticist is something that I have a keen personal interest in, and honestly could have happily ingested my entire hype budget for this season all by itself, even without the rest of RoE (and it looks like there's some pretty cool stuff to be found in the rest of the book too). The remaster? The remaster? It's just too much. I can't even grapple with it all. At this point I'm just waiting for it all to arrive so I can stop all this guessing.
I'm sure I'll be happy for it all again once I can actually get my hands on it and start frobbing the systems in a real way and actually building test characters and stuff. Every indicator I've seen suggests that the remaster is going to be more good than bad - an upgrade in a number of small but valuable ways. That's on top of a PF2 that was pretty awesome to begin with. For right now, though, I am just tired.

I hyperfixate on Pathfinder until I start getting annoyed at my friends and family because they don't have the time to talk with me about it or play with me as much as I would like. Every new announcement and book that comes out just adds fuel to that fire.
I have to consciously make an effort to do other activities or I get insufferable.

Being hype for distant releases doesn’t make them come out any faster. If you’re worn out from thinking about Pathfinder… go poke your nose into something else for a while, IMO.
I’m losing my mind waiting for those Tian Xia books and I wish a Shaman playtest would just get announced already, but stewing in my obsessive brain juices isn’t doing any good - which is why I’ve spent the last two weeks falling deep down the NSR rabbit hole, reading really clever indie systems.
PF will still be here when you come back.

I think it's important to remember that the Remaster wasn't supposed to be coming out this year and quite in this manner. Paizo was planning to revamp things as a backburner type thing from what I've gathered, and got their hand forced when WOTC decided to shit the ttrpg bed.
It's very likely that we were supposed to get Rage of the Elements and Howl of the Wild, along with the Tian Xia setting book and the two AP's, which tracks with the usual release.
I also find it funny that people are wanting to complain that Pathfinder 2e is coming out with too much content. It's such a different complaint than I'm used to seeing in the TTRPG space. I would say advice for anyone reading this that applies to all fandoms.
You're under no obligation to get excited for a products release. It's a product, and if you aren't feeling it, it's okay to shrug your shoulders and go "meh" to what's coming out.

The only thing I'm fatigued about from the hype so far are the people arguing about how bad the changes they haven't seen yet will be if they don't do exactly what they expect. These discussions tend to clutter up the hype threads after the actual news has dried up and there's nothing else to talk about until the next reveal.

Yes, people complaining about a class that hasn't come out yet certainly takes the wind out of one's sails, doubly so in a hype thread dedicated to said class.
