Beastly nap.

.

I set the alarm for a two hour nap, yesterday.  The nap happened like a bomb.  I slept so solidly, so completely, and yet dreamed in there wall to wall.  The rest was good, just odd, and right through the alarm.  I slept for four hours, hard.  I went down at around 12:30, setting the alarm for 15:00.  Usually I wake up before the alarm, in an hour and an half, maybe two.  Even if I'm not doing much, my body just isn't into sleep.

I was at a point in the game where it was exceedingly difficult.  The most difficult "boss" in the game, because there were two bosses.  I dragged my feet about doing that fight.  I just wasn't sure I was up to it.  Gamewise, sure, when I am at peak.  But I wasn't even close to peak.  However, when I can't do the hard things, I can often do the nitty and picky stuff.  And, so, I did.  I leveled, farmed, ranched, did some more leveling, farmed some more for this or that, and, finally, I hit it this morning.  Done.  I may have overdone the extra work, but I wasn't ready for what looked like a very long fight.  Even when I did go in, I wasn't sure I was ready.  Enough deaths told me... actually, that I was ready.  Huh?  Well, it's a matter of how you die, and how long you survive, plus what you learn.  This game is... well... you will die.  Frequently.  If you get one shotted a few times, you know you aren't ready.  If you last a while, going in blind, and without all the assets because of their costs...  Then you... might be ready.  Not only ready, but done!  Now, on to more dying! 

The game isn't as difficult as it seems, and yet is much harder than that.  Taking your time, unless you can't.  Moving in slow motion, but the monsters do too.  Timing is crucial.  The only way to learn it is to die enough.  But you must live long enough, and be successful enough, to put what you learn into practice.  It's almost more of a mind game, a game of nerves, than it is of...  It is a good game.  Although, through it's methods, I keep developing new curse forms.  I was, indeed, a sailor. 

I'm about to take another nap.  I just want to find a place in the game where stopping seems reasonable.  Later.
