I have been reading the news
but
I keep on finding myself kind of staring into space
(white ceiling, occasional glow stars)
computer screen gone dark from timing out
and very much not, in fact, reading the news.

which makes it difficult to read the news.

Started playing Wrath of the Righteous on Core with a tiefling witch. ( Read more... )
I am once again doing the thing where I play a really long time in a row and do not do much else at all at all. Not ideal.

Also, I tried making one (1) different choice in the Shield Maze and it turns out it has Consequences, in an ongoing way, so now I feel... not great. About that.
But I did it for roleplay reasons and achievements reasons both, so I'm not redoing two days of play to go back and do different.

I like this game until it gets just the teensiest bit too hard and then I do not. I could drop the difficulty. I could drop it all the eay to story if I wanted. But I already won it at a custom difficulty only a tiny bit below this one, so here I am, being stubborn and replaying lost bits a lot.

Still, it's something to do, and I have a narratively satisfying plan, so now I've just got to see how it works out. Should be fun. If I win it.

I won Inevitable Excess, including the fight that gives you bonus loot later, and I did it on Core, the highest difficulty that improves said loot.

I would feel more accomplished if I hadn't spent all the time I was playing realising over again I hate Inevitable Excess gameplay.

The stupid completely new way of moving. The levers and buttons and clocks. The maps you can't see all of even after you've been there. Stupid fiddly cogs and mechanical things I still haven't used all of. Puzzles puzzles everywhere and nothing but another fight and some loot to show for it.

... yes there's usually another fight and some loot, Pathfinder is fight and loot centric, I just... I was playing gold dragon and on gold dragon all you need to do is breathe on things, sometimes twice. That's not fascinating. ( Read more... )

I like the questions IE raises, I like the decisions you can make, it has lots of bits of fun story.

But it also has deliberately weirded out graphics that can be hard to see, a movement and puzzles loop that makes Alushinyrra look like sensible straight lines, and enemies that don't leave you with many options to think about.

I am done with it again.

... until I finish the main game on another myth at least.
