Hullo again, dear fellow gamers! Hope you’re doing fine, as Christmas is inching closer. As for me, I’m feeling better now. Turned out that I wasn’t just being tired: I was actually suffering from a bout of burnout-ish depression, caused by a nasty combination of too much pressure and too little pleasure over 2021. That was a nasty b*tch of a year for me; and as I’m getting better by the day, I fervently hope that 2022 will be kinder.
Anyway, I was ordered by my doctor to perform pleasant activities on a daily basis, as part of my recovery process. To keep gaming was a no-brainer in such circumstances, and I did. It was hard at first, as I got tired really quickly; but I soldiered on, and managed to clear three runs in the last six weeks. I’m gonna post run reports in the next days/weeks, as I keep gaming on a daily basis. I’m still a bit too weak to tackle the New Classics phase right now; but it will most certainly be a thing in 2022. Stay tuned! ^^
Glad to see you better! Unfortunately, 2021 was indeed a grueling year to many, and even worse to others, for the most diverse reasons, so I share your sentiment in hoping 2022 will be a better year to make up for it.
ReplyDeleteGaming is a pleasure, of course, but do be careful to not strain yourself, Isleif! At this point, why not revisit some old classics you love? I usually dust off my old systems (or emulate) to play some of my all-time favorites, like Sonic 3 & Knuckles, NiGHTs into Dreams, Bomberman, Panzer Dragoon or Riviera The Promised Land.
Hi, Sieg ! Thanks a lot for the kind words. It's always nice to read you! ^^
Delete>>"Do be careful to not strain yourself, Isleif!" Don't worry, my friend, I won't. I learnt my lesson the hard way; and as of now, I'm done with pressuring and overworking myself, in gaming as well as in other life areas.
And as a matter of fact, I've been replaying old favourites these days indeed... ^^ More on that soon! :D
