I am still rotating the bug game
Nov. 28th, 2025 03:51 amI am inching my way through Hollow Knight, very slowly. ( GARAMA! SHAW! - Hornet words of wisdom )
But yeah I think like, vessel made of void that carries an equivalent great sword around is the most Dark Knight Hours it could ever be so it's no wonder I've latched on. It's been nice to spend an hour just doing something else other than XIV or Stadium every day. Stadium I've reached the stage of being at, or almost at, the rank I was last season, so all reduced loss percentages are gone, which really sucks because it's now +80 for win and -80 for loss so it's like hitting your head into a wall at times. The advertised part of this system is it gives you loss reduction if you have leavers or win multiple rounds! Not so at this point. It makes me not want to grind out anymore because losses feel twice as frustrating and it's why I don't really play traditional comp. It's just asking to be tilted, especially when the game matches you with any rank. Am I not being punished enough with having to carry two rookies on my back the whole time!! Apparently not.
It's drives next week though, so perhaps I will simply play less games overall this week and put the hard effort into next week. And hope it doesn't match me with people who don't know what they're doing and penalise me for it...
Furniture stuff happened on Monday; bed is rotated. Dozens of cardboard boxes flattened, old appliances removed. Had some vertigo issues during that that reminded me why I can't physically do shit or leave the house (not yay). I am now going through the wardrobe which is a weird exercise, because there are gifts in here from six years ago to people who have nigh vanished from my life. I would like to get them to them, but this may have to be tackled in spring. I feel like Ikea shall be getting more of my custom for bookshelves for that room and also a tv stand with actual storage for my living room, lol. And then I'll probably be done in my blissfully dust free zone.
The deep well of sadness is on its way for me again. Passage of time isolation static constantly losing things it takes me so long to do anything can't leave the house ten years ten years ten years. I do not expect it to ease for a while.
