Brain Full of Games

I have actually played some video games again and it healed me.

I’m not joking. Things got much worse since the last time I posted: my worked hours per week were straying into the 60s (one week I hit 70) and I was losing my sanity. This all culminated with a massive upheaval at my office which has left me uncertain about my job security. Obviously I needed a break.

Rimworld to the rescue! I sat down for a solid 5 hour run with a new settlement for the Coalition of Haters and Losers, but too many Haters joined and we all ended up as… Losers. Basically my colony, the Manosphere, died (good riddance). So I created Foxgirl Nation. We are going in a really different direction here. I have all the expansions for Rimworld, including the one which lets you craft an ideology, and OH BOY IS IT ANNOYING WHEN SOMEONE WHO HATES CUTTING TREES MOVES IN AND IS JUST PISSED OFF AT YOU ALL THE TIME we will be alleviating this man of his organs soon.

Anyway, beside that minor stress (Tony!!!!), Rimworld has proved to be exactly what I needed to relax. Watching these poor Foxgirls work their little tails off and get kidnapped by hostile tribes has just boosted my mood in ways that I forgot it could since I stopped gaming nearly 2 months ago. This has given me the kick I needed to get back to gaming and thinking about making games, even though things are so weird at work. I guess if I don’t have a job you’ll know because I’ll be more active here.
