Tetris stresses me out
I can't deal with any game that forces me to do things at a certain speed. If the blocks weren't actively falling and you had as much time to fit them in as you wanted, I'd like it, but since the challenge is to place things
quickly, Tetris has never been for me. That's why I love Match-3. You have as much time as you want, to look around and consider all your possibilities, before deciding which items to match, to clear them away and get new ones. But yeah, same principle! Intense focus with little to nothing to do with reaction time, and no fussy details to remember. Games that work like that are great pain-killers, emotionally, and physically as well! (I really did play mahjong for HOURS when I had kidney stones, because the demerol didn't do
anything, lol.)

I managed to save those stupid children without Ryu getting a single scratch when I put the game on Easy, lol...though I had to grind my CP up to do that even then! You've gotta be able to unload some max-power S-breaks to win without damage. You just have nothing to work with in the prologue on a first play! I don't see how it's possible to do it on Hard mode unless you reset several dozen times until you manage to just get
lucky. Well, I always like playing on Easy my first time through (I probably would have with Xenoblade, too, when i first played it...but that was long before XC2 came out, or the Definitive Edition, so difficulty modes didn't even exist, at the time.) Personally, I think Hard and Nightmare are to rebalance NG+ runs if combat being too easy makes things boring for you. (Though it doesn't, for me, since I'm only playing for the story anyway!)
I really hope the neurology nurse gets back to me this week. I feel like I'm stepping on big round stones whenever I put my right foot down, at the moment. I'd at least like them to tell me if it's better to completely avoid exercise or not, and if so, for how long. Am I hurting or helping if I go for a walk right now?? Or does it not make much difference? I want to know! Do I even dare to get on my bike, which I got fixed up right before this all happened?
As usual, feeling a bit sucky makes me want to fall back on comfort games more than try new ones (AKA: DQB1/2, XCX, Farm Together.) even though the new ones are great. Still, I'm slowly edging Zero back to where I had it when I started on Hard mode. (I took some bad advice, lol.) I don't think I have the energy for Graveyard Keeper, atm. That game needs some mental vigilance, and I don't know enough about it for it to be instinctive, yet. It's a struggle to think clearly, atm, and I'm too tired to struggle. It feels ridiculous to have so many great games (on a pretty new screen!) but to not have the oomph to play them. Well...it's nice knowing they're there if I catch a breath of fresh air at any point.
I think I need to go for a walk for some mental refreshening, even if it
does aggravate my muscle tension. I'd like to know if it really does or if it just
seems that way, so please tell me, therapies nurse!
