More thoughts on Darkest Dunegon and Chronic Pain;
The game isn’t cruel because it’s hard.
It’s heavy because you can’t predict when things will collapse, even when you “do everything right.”
~That~ is living with chronic illness and pain, do ~everything~ right and still suffer setbacks.

Figuring out the reason I’m forming a deep connection to Darkest Dungeon is that the game understands what chronic suffering teaches early; **survival doesn’t mean escape. It means returning anyway**
That’s what living with chronic illness and pain is like on the daily.

Current status: trying to game the pain away.
Got one good run in Darkest Dungeon, then my body said “nope.”
That’s the thing about chronic pain, you don’t schedule it. You adapt. Sometimes that looks like one solid roguelike run and a nap.

You’re not broken.
You’re buffering.

Behold! My collection of Pokemon games! I was recently able to replace my counterfeit DS games so now my only fakes are the GBA games. I’d love to replace them one day but they’re so expensive 😭 hoping to expand my collection of spin off titles too!

Why have roguelikes become my favourite genre?
Living with chronic pain means everything in my life is stop-start, bursts of effort, forced rest, repeat. Roguelikes mirror that cycle. One run of Hades, Cult of the Lamb, or Curse of the Dead Gods fits neatly into a rest window.

The best gaming guilds were always the smaller, tightnit groups that actually worked together, they had a true feeling of comradery and warmth.
Today it seems like every MMO is monopolised by a key few guilds that are over full with strangers who have no real interest beyond getting what they need.

How are Universities charging tens of thousands for courses, and smaller training facilities (e.g. TAFE) are offering pretty much the same course, at a fraction of the fee.
In my experience, the smaller orgs. have been far better too.
