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 feel super stagnated when it comes to games anymore. I still want to play but I only ever seem to play the same 2 games which are positively ancient now. I have tried to chip away at my backlog, but I will play for one night and then go right back to my comfy games even if I enjoyed it. Then if I want to try again I have to start over from scratch because too much time will have passed and I can't remember the controls or what I was doing, so it's back to the comfy games again because at least I won't get frustrated.

Maybe I need to try some very short games or something? But also maybe I am just being too picky! I look for things that I think would scratch the same itch as my comfy games but haven't found anything that gets close enough (yet!). I just want to have fun why do I have to make this so difficult?! >_<

I've mentioned this game before recently, but I just finished Gris and am absolutely smitten in a rare way. It's very short, simple, and relaxed (no fail states), but it's got probably the most beautiful art direction and score I can remember. That being said, it does also wind up doing some pretty interesting things with its simple mechanics too.

You can finish it in a few hours, but there's a draw to return again just to sink back into the world, cause... It's just pleasant there.

I just looked Gris up and even though I tend to avoid platformers, everything else about it really appeals so I will put it on my wishlist and have a think about whether to splash out for my birthday, thank you!

Happy to spread the word! If you do wind up giving it a shot I hope you enjoy it.
