beccaelizabethToday I started another playthrough on Wrath of the Righteous.
Core difficulty is just enough beyond my skill that I am almost but not quite having fun.
I mean I've made progress, but I know how many times I reloaded, so.
*big sigh*
I know this is fixable by dropping down to Daring, I just... want to get enough better I don't have to do that.
But I realised only today, after winning on Azata, Trickster Legend, and Aeon playthroughs, that Lann has something via Zen Archer that means I've been doing his stats completely wrong the whole time.
Archers do the most damage anyway, yet, at least two ways, I have been doing that wrong.
If I was playing on tabletop I'd only have to get good at one character class, not all of them.
Also a GM could tweak the Challenge Rating if we kept getting dead a lot.
... I can as well, obviously, but it feels different...
Playing the same game over again again again isn't the world's most productive use of time, but, I spend most of my fandom time thinking about it, just the weird xover version literally no one else has in mind.
... Torchwood Golarion would have so many stories though...
Over on tumblr I followed someone who was watching Torchwood for the first time and they just finished watching Miracle Day, and I remembered I still have never watched Miracle Day. Many years of audios, but, no Miracle Day. And episode 7 sounded interesting, but I had given up before then. Due to my reaction to Children of Earth. Which was unfortunate.
I am considering watching all the episodes now. I mean, I haven't been watching TV lately, but, I could in theory watch some Captain Jack Harkness I have not seen before. Which seems good.
But the first time I watched I managed to get so super angry about some episodes I can still remember it. I don't feel like that would contribute positively to my life. And yet, if I'm not invested enough to get angry, why bother?
Shall think about it.
But there's always so many other things to watch read listen, things that haven't (yet) made me spend entire evenings complaining about them...
Shall think about it from several angles.
Anyway. My day.
