September 20 update.
I'm doing alright this morning. Got a fair bit done yesterday morning, then slacked off most of the afternoon playing Tekken and UFO 50. UFO 50 is unsurprisingly excellent! It really does feel like they just dropped a brand new game console on us. And it's refreshing to play all sorts of interesting or weird games.
Attactics has been a favorite of mine so far. It's a turn-based strategy game where you try to send units across a battlefield to attack an enemy base. The catch is that turns play out every few seconds automatically, so you have a limited time in between turns to move your units around to where you want them to be. It's simple to pick up but there feels like a lot of nuance to it, and it's very very fun.
Tekken has been a mixed bag for me lately. I feel like I am just struggling with it. I'm struggling to put what I learn into practice, and when I do I feel so slow about it. I feel like I'm moving in molasses. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. I feel like I have nothing but bad habits. Which is... not the case. But it certainly feels that way.
I'd like to say I don't mind losing. I know at the end of the day it doesn't matter. But I feel like I can't even get started playing sometimes. And it just sucks because I then struggle more and more with it. But it is what it is. Learning shit is actually really difficult sometimes.
