It's been such a long time. I really miss when I could be bothered with messaging boards without feeling like I should be doing something else. Like a haven away from the monotony. Glad to see that not much has changed, and most importantly, that you're all alive and hopefully well.
Lifewise, things are looking up for me. I've somehow broken myself out of my seemingly genetic inability to motivate myself. I'm progressing at a slow pace with my hobby outside of my job, but most importantly is that it's a pace and not a roadblock. It's always been hard for me to do things I'm not at obligation to do. Tell me it's an obligation and it's done in a jiffy, and more. Have it be something I can do at leisure and I'll just go at it 80%, then dream about the rest.
I really like how simple this piece of advice is, yet isn't as blunt as "just do it". It always plays in the back of mind.
Started playing Horizon: Zero Dawn from where I left off earlier in the game, again, but it really sucks the living joy out of the game when every time I'm just wishing it was on PC so I can use a mouse and keyboard. I don't know if I'd ever get used to using the controller for this.
Also booted up Metro: Last Light again, for the fifth time. I'm having some partial fun with the game, but there are a lot of things that frustrate the living hell outta me, especially the bugs and the stealth aspects. For a game that's all about the plot and the immersion, the plot doesn't feel interesting, and is worse off than games that isn't an adaptation of a book. And the bugs just kill any immersion I can siphon from the game. Almost dropped the game entirely after yet another bug, but I'm determined to at least finish the game and hopefully have a better outlook of it. I mean, Dead Space didn't take off for me until chapter 5, and I ended up obsessed with that game.
