The wind is blowing, gusts coming and going. It feels cool, cold.
Something strange? Or... just spring, at it again. Down into the
mid 30's, about 36 or 37. If feels like winter, though. It really
has the sound, and feel, of a mild winter storm. Strange, but so bit
it. Though, the chirping gives it away. The song birds are at it,
disregarding some mild weather... to them?
I have been trying a few bosses. I don't go too far. If two runs
can't see it done, I just... put it on the back burner... in the game. I
just won't, can't, handle much stress. Life has gotten easier.
Now, if my mortgage company would leave me alone. They blew it, not my
problem. But, for my part, taking it easier in the game helps.
There is still much to do. Little bosses to try, if more rarely.
Just... a few a day. Mostly looking for quest threads to try to pick up,
little off tasks to do, items or spells which might be good for my 'toon to
collect. Or just items for other builds. Eventually, I may switch
this 'toon to, say, a dex or other based build. I sold things on my
original 'toon without knowing that a respec, complete, was possible.
Down to nubs, or nearly. Well, and there is leveling.
My new 'toon can do quite a bit, and go to most places, most of the
time. There are still a few places, and bosses, that are beyond my
character, or with the skills and traits I am aware of. In some ways, I
enjoy going around, finding little things I had missed, or bosses too strong
at one time, exploring and finding hidden spots and dungeons even now.
It amazes me how much content is in this game. If you are in a hurry,
you... won't see much of the game, and will become quite frustrated. The
game isn't meant to be consumed in a day, a week, even a month. I would
guess you could spend a year on this game, if playing several 'toons, and
trying to get every quest. I can think of several quests, at least if
done with certain timing, which can end other quests. Though, not just
other quests as enders... getting to certain places in the game can end
quests... without resolution for those.
So, yea. It is complicated, deep, rather dark, and can be quite
stressful, especially if you try to push through, as I had been. As
well, there may be a legit, or illegitimate, method of cheesing a boss.
Yes, I have cheesed. And, as a fact, I look for sideways means of
clearing areas and bosses... technically legit, but definitely not
honorably. It isn't always about that, it's about getting the job
done. If you wish to bang your head against a wall, in order to "play
fair"? Be my guest. But if I can get an unfair advantage, and
clear a spot which is too tight, close quarter, for my long range character to
work in with any hope of making it, I will.
What was it? Ah. I told a friend I could walk through walls.
He didn't believe. I asked him to bet what he could afford to
lose. He was going to bet a dollar. I asked if he could really
afford it. He could, so I did. I opened the door, and... walked
through the wall. Hey, it's... about advertising. Logic.
Laws. Just because you think I am talking about going through an actual
wall? Well, a door way is just exactly the means to that exact
end. It just isn't included in the write-up. Aye. Windows
work too, better if they open, though. But... not necessary. Aye.
It seems time to put the soup up. It should be cool. Mostly just
fluids. Supper, tonight, with that. Then, get on to bed.
Sleep as long as I need. And wake when I can. I am sure I can wake
in time for supper, but I will set an alarm and an emergency get-up-fast
alarm, just in case. Life has been screwy. Oh, and I'll close the
windows up there. The high 50's are too cool for me to sleep, or wake,
well. The low 60s are just about right. I've gotten spoiled by
that, so this recent cold is just too difficult. Fresh air has been
good, but... I can't handle the cold again.
The devil, they say. Maybe. But called. To the meal I will
go. Why called? I can't say. All I can do is go, or not. I choose to go, to the point I have a choice.
Amen.
