• they/them

I live in Portland and sometimes I make video games if I can find somebody who will pay me to do it.


I've been playing the demo of Unicorn Overlord and I think I like it and I kind of want to buy the full game, but I also feel intimidated by how complex it is. Because of that, I put it on "Story" difficulty, but so far it feels like that's made it easy enough that I don't really have to learn the systems, which I guess is kind of what I want, except I'm not actually that interested in the story and the systems are what make it interesting to me, so if I'm not really having to engage with those then what's the point of playing it.

I feel like lately I've been having this sort of problem a lot with games as I get older, like they demand more of me than I really want to put in, and I just want to sort of cruise through them and feel like I'm making progress without actually putting any work in, and then I feel conflicted about that. I dunno, it's weird and kind of frustrating.
