Since my last entry I've just been taking the year slowly and surely. I decided late last year that I needed to give myself a bit of break. I've been burning myself out on life lately - with the whole, roleplay second life thing. I'm still not burnt out on roleplay (despite now having almost 1000 hours in Red Dead Roleplay...) because every single session is unlike the last. There's no repetitive gameplay loop like in other games. That being said, it's socially draining. I've never been so social in my life and yet I feel that I'm not being social at all. I realised this when I saw Birb and Onyon playing "The Finals" - a new FPS game. Reminded me of the old days, 2017 and 2018 - when we'd all play Fortnite together. I missed that. I missed playing anything with those guys, regardless of what genre of game. I hadn't played anything frequently with Birb since our raft revisit in March.

When I got back from my holiday to Brunswick with Dan, I decided I was going to cut back on the roleplay. Three days a week, ought to do it. Even then, maybe shorter sessions. This would give me more time to play other games with other people. They'd been telling me to come and join them in The Finals since it came out, so that's exactly what I did and boy was it fun. I've already got fucking 50 hours in the damn game and it's been like, 2.5 weeks most.

I've been getting a lot of fun clips of us just fucking around. Won a fair few matches and personally have had a series of really good moments myself. A few clutches, a few single handed team wipes. Birb and Onyon are really good at it and had a 100-odd hour lead on me, so I had to get good pretty fast. It's been so much fun. There's a few other games I want to play too - there's one I sent to Birb, Lakoola and Onyon last week that looks pretty fun. Oh, and BG3.
