better than i ever did
# I bought myself a used copy of Dark Souls to see if it is, indeed, the Dark Souls of gaming. I do not like it. I also do not like that if you search for it not being fun on the internet, one result you will see is a forum thread full of people who do like the game going "BUT YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!!!1!!" and "YOU MUST SUCK AT PLAYING VIDYA!" Son, I've been playing games since before you were born, probably, so don't give me that crap.
(I mean yes, I am shit at vidya in general, but I'm not so shit I literally can't play games).
There is one reply that says playing it is the video game equivalent of being stuck in bad traffic, and it's stressful. They play games to unwind and not stress. Which, yes. Exactly. Though that was also met with derision so pfffft.
ALSO. I don't think even getting more than twenty minutes into game should rely on using one specific character build over the other options.
I may be being slightly unfair but fuck me I don't think I'm ever going to like that game.
(If you like the game, good for you. I can't say I'll ever understand why, but I also know we don't all like the same things).
# I have also downloaded Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. It seems like fun so far, though I don't think I'm very good at it.
# I'm thinking of rewriting my sci-fi story from a different point of view, which would WAY MORE sense, given a certain scene near the end. I'm going to keep the rewriting I did back in February, though. Just. Change the POV.
I sometimes think this story doesn't want me to finish it but, in some ways, I don't want to, because I'm very attached to a couple of the characters. So perhaps my inability to finish is just my subconscious telling me that. Who knows?
