venting about myself 

I don't have a job and I feel very incapable and I've been trying to schedule an appointment with a psychologist but I hate using the phone and I hate waiting for phone calls. I invent projects for myself to pass the time but lately I haven't been working towards any long-term goal. I have hobbies but I don't know how to monetize them. I have skills but I don't want to move away from home to find a job. I have given up on what I thought was my life goal of making games for a living. I can hardly concentrate on anything and I worry about everything in the world constantly. I recognize that I have a lot more comforts than a lot of other people, but I don't know what I'm going to do to get out of this pit.

Dip of Theseus paradox: if I replace every single ingredient in my famous seven layer queso fire guac, does it in fact remain my famous seven layer queso fire guac

I can't believe that the first strategy game with units that face a particular direction and can be flanked was invented in ***1780***

What I love about video games is that a 3 game series could have been released over two years or twenty

This game, Stone (2018) got some pretty mixed reviews, but dang if that's not a rad character design.

My horniness for Ricardo is greater than my reseverations with the rest of Fight n' Rage's aesthetics

Prey spoiler, Dark Souls spoiler 

That "cook" is on some Lautrec shit. I feel like I could have handled the situation better.

Prey 

I have found solutions for the two things that were sticking out as problems to me for this game. Now it's just... really good. I'm towards the endgame on the power curve and it's very satisfying to smash things that gave me trouble several hours ago--plus more characters that I like have started showing up.

Majora's Mask is a real stunning game that's dulled a bit by age. I wish there was a lot less going into and out of menus, waiting on song cutscenes to finish, etc

re: Prey 2017 

I'm falling off with this game. :( It just isn't giving me enough forward momentum.

Prey 2017 

Is this game supposed to slow do so much after the start? I don't know how I'm supposed to fight some of these enemies.

what do you call the feeling when you're paranoid that a developer you admire from a distance might secretly/unknowingly be appealing to the anime avatar crowd?

That's kinda where I'm at; tough games to recommend but also impossible to ignore. I get pulled in like a tractor beam.

I should mention that I have no idea what the actual winning or game over conditions are in this game. Last time I played I was tasked with removing a particular faction from gas giants. I don't even know how to go to war. At some point the game decided that I ran out of time to do this and they exploded the universe.

It's pretty opaque. I understand that they can't really afford polish, but some better tuning for usability and system balance would be wonderful.
