I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn't get submitted and I didn't have it saved in copy-paste. It's just so ironically fitting.

So ya, what's something you'd like to ramble a bit about?

I'm stuck in that same kind of gaming rut, I think it's because dealing with "being an adult with responsibilities" is a lot more stress than when I first started gaming as a kid. My brain just does not want to learn a new system of rules, and I end up quitting new games halfway through the tutorial.

The couple times I've fought through that feeling, I've found a few new games I really love. So maybe it's a mindset thing. I miss the ease with which I used to lose myself in new passions.

Yeah good point! Come to think of it I got a new game late last year that I thought would have a good shot with pushing through that mental block and then some life stuff got very in the way and I just didn't go back to it and forgot about it until now. I should try that one again now that things are slightly less chaotic.
