A sad state of affairs.

.
.
I have been playing computer games since graphics were letters and numbers, literally. I like to think of myself as somewhat of a pro. So, here I am, playing my first game on easy. It has been a long time since I gamed and I never liked controllers. I am enjoying the game though. And I am learning how to use a controller. It will take time. One thing about games is they add structure, almost like work, to my days. While I can't focus enough to read, I can figure things out just by doing them. I suppose you could say games are as close to work and study as I can functionally get.

I did have someone recently comment that there are locals who are so into gaming they aren't holding down jobs. I know people like that, but that isn't me. I was out of work, unable to work, long before I ever bought a game machine. I don't think he was talking about me, in a round about way though. He was just suggesting that some people shouldn't sit around playing, after I asked if he knew any other players. If they are young and healthy, I agree. Still, if that is all they do and have managed their lives around it, why waste their talents? Yeah, yeah.

On to bed. I keep pushing my nights further into daytime. I should be able to work things around before long again. Yes, good night and day or something.
