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?

Big thing for me recently has been quitting Destiny 2. I've invested an...embarrassing amount of time into that game and while there's zero regret about the friends I made and the good times I've had, the game has just progressively moved further and further away from what I enjoyed about it. It's just not something I feel the same way about anymore. Feels weird(but not bad) no longer being tied down to a "main" game.

...but yeah, been nice to catch up on some single player stuff. Playing Tears of the Kingdom quite a bit but Diablo IV is really hitting that loot dopamine part of my brain Destiny did so that's the main thing right now.

This was me with VALORANT last year. I run an indie-focused games publication, but I lost myself completely to VALORANT to the point that I wasn't playing anything else, and the site suffered as a result. I wasn't even really having much fun, and then I realized how much I was investing into a live service, and games I was genuinely interested to play, talk about, write about, were just passing me by.

So this year I decided to give up live service games for a year, and that has seriously allowed me to get back into my groove, and to play a lot of backlog games. Steam Deck has also helped quite a lot in that regard.

My friend and I play Destiny 2 but we do not do any of the seasonal content. We are still making our way slowly through The Witch Queen and that is quite enjoyable for me. I refuse to devote my free time entirely to one game again.

Having said that... Diablo IV... ooof.
