Another Karu-y day. There was this one challenge that was too hard for them so I had to be tagged in to do it for them lol. It's like calling in your big brother to help you with a boss in a game. Karu is good at games, and has much more of that raw reaction speed that you see in pro gamers than I do. Fun fact: they all "age out" of high-intensity/reaction-speed games like FPS and MOBA games at about 20, because that's when they start to slow down. And that's why there's professional Fortnite players that are <13.
I, bird, like to play games like chess and Yu-Gi-Oh (and, yes, I do have Aether help me sometimes. Because having your headmates help you play is the true Yu-Gi-Oh experience) and things that are mostly plot, like visual novels. I am also a dweeb and like checklists and spreadsheets and making the numbers go up, so I do stuff like fill out the Pokedex or museum in Animal Crossing. It's planning and being methodical and things that Karu does not like lol.
I think that's what happened with the latest Pokemon game; I began taking it too seriously and it wasn't fun for Karu anymore. But since the newest Sonic game was just going fast and doing things by feel instead of doing math, it was all Karu. Even the really hard time attack stages were still Karu, since it's about feeling the momentum and making those snap judgements of when to jump and stuff like that.
I should definitely keep finding games for Karu to play, maybe there'll even be some days, soon, where I'll have the house all to myself and I can let them go all-out. I would have done that over the holiday, since my roommate was gone for so long, but I was sick and it was no fun.
