For an optimist, I'm pretty relativistic

Relatively speaking, I'm less angry over my Overwatch losses (and wins too).

The only aspects of the game I'm still bitter over are the following:

  1. The switch from 6vs6 to 5vs5 (the upside is a more defined tank role)
  2. Free-to-play diluting the player pool (the upside is the queue times have -never- been shorter)
  3. How lonely I feel playing this game for thousands of hours, but never with a team of friends (the upside is that I use this game to recharge my emotional/social 'buoyancy')

It's a rainy day. I am playing Genshin Impact again, too, because the computer booted up fine today.

The game still runs beautifully. I pulled for Mualani like a month ago, and she's a super cute hydro character who owns a surf shop (in Fontaine I assume? I don't know; I'm not at that section yet). Really, all the characters in that game are super cute. Don't even get me started on the chibis (miniature oversized head pictures): sometimes, I try and count chibis of Keqing (my favourite character bar none) in my head when I'm having a rough time falling asleep. She has one where she's all tucked into bed with some Zzzs over her head and it's just so KAWAII!

I wouldn't recommend the game to just about anyone, however. Despite its popularity, I still consider it a niche game in North America - and if you're not careful, it'll swallow your wallet, time, and maybe even your appetite.

I'm on break from working. I don't really want to work, but I probably will again... eventually. For now, carpe noctem.
