love an indie game
indie games as a whole for me are not a substitute for the rest of video games, pirated or not, when a lot of them ultimately require troubleshooting or extensive configuration
my brain problems afford me precious little time to do anything in the day that isnt resting or doing an insufficient amount of care for myself. you know what isnt fun is when you use up all your energy trying to figure out why this fucking game wont launch and now its been an hour and the excitement has rotted and i need a klonopin because i am so overwhelmed attempting to do research that i need to take a nap so i can be ready to make dinner later. no game got played and i am only more tired and stressed than when i began
please do not leave me behind when you talk about what people "should" be willing to do. even if it is about video games. you will forget that people less capable than you exist in other contexts if you arent thinking about the ones where you think it doesnt matter
it is further my strongly held opinion that all the gas spent spinning wheels on being very invested in the mindpurity of the media consumption of strangers would be much better used getting invested in the conditions of your neighbors
btw: kind strangers, if you show up here to negate my autobiographical account of computers being hard to use when you are brain-injured or to offer unwanted suggestions i will probably tell you to get fucked and then cry to myself about it later
