Leave me the f*$k Alone in the Dark

Like a busy buzzing bee, I’m drifting around trying to settle back into my gaming grove. Firstly finding a “safe” place to get my game on is tricky. A clean, spacious area with no interruptions would be bliss.

Naturally, some titles are just not right to play at the moment…Green Hell (now deleted) seems to mirror life too much as I struggle with odd continuous physical ailments. Division Survival (now deleted) is really empty and my usual running mates are nowhere to be seen online.

Looks like solo game runs are going to be the thing to do as I’m only done with 20% of Ghost of Tsushima. Extremities have forced me to tackle a 2 hour return train journey to get game time but it’s not working as I’m constantly interrupted and the game play quality is very poor.

In the meantime, my writing quality has gradually got worst.

My writing quality is taking a nose dive…time to pump up the volume on my brain

Back in Stride again

Feel absolutely fantastic, technically, now that my rig is set up again. It’s still temporary but good enough for the next few months. It’s been 142 days 16hours and 22 mins since I last logged into Div2 so let’s see how rusty I am.

My full play list will keep me nicely occupied and distracted.

  • Green Hell – The Spirits of Amazonia – a prequel
  • Tom Clancy’s The Division
  • Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
  • Soul Calibur VI
  • Tekkan 7
  • HellDivers
  • God of War Ragnarök
  • The Callisto Protocol – Survival Horror
  • FireWatch – a half eaten title
  • Ghost of Tsushima
  • Stray by Annapurna Interactive (5 hours 55 mins 9s completed)
  • SnowRunner
Return to Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2

Experiment concluded

After over 6 months of crippling home renovation, no home office, and no gaming station I finally got my PS5 back and rapidly installed some of my favs.

A dopamine rush thanks to the God of War Ragnarök intro has me prepped for next weeks back to work, gaming and work.

Conclusion of not gaming for 3 months: It served no purposed and only made my anxious.

My fault? ….really?

Like a sponge, I absorb all the things that are wrong in a situation. I become accountable by default and cannot shift the responsibility even though there are so many things clearly out of my influence. It’s a flawed personal trait which constantly damages me.

It’s amplified when I try to assist. Sometimes, I can find a solution and all is well but mostly things fall flat bringing me with it.

Solution: Normally, I’d dive into Div 1 or something and go shoot things in the face but for now the best is Isolation Mode with near zero human interaction.

Result: 12 hours later: Emotional state restored

Silence

With no PS5 gaming options available, my dopamine levels have clearly dropped and I’ve distracted myself with the occasional gym session. The other half hasn’t had the opportunity to nag about gaming so that’s a good thing

In the meantime, I’m oblivious to what’s happening in the gaming world except for an occasional Twitch peak. I’m holding onto a small piece of resentment as to how I ended up in this joy-less environment but for the most part, it’s freed up some thinking time with no more threat to work or home life.

It’s less than 30 days and I remain silent.
