Slaying the Spire

I have basically given the entire last week to the game Slay the Spire after it turned up on Apple Arcade (which I am still on trial membership for after buying my iPad).   Firmin has been evangelising the game for years so I went in with expectations.  It is ‘good’.

But I don’t think I enjoy it.

At least not enough for all the hours I have sunk into it.

I am not having fun.

Maybe my ability to have fun is broken.

Though I am somewhat enjoying reading TJ Klune’s In the Lives of Puppets, even if it is proven much more directly a reimagining of Pinocchio than I had anticipated.

Otherwise not a lot to say for me week.

Did feature the slightly horrific experience of choking on my meds on Monday morning, for the full physiological sympathetic panic response as I couldn’t breathe.  While my body was reacting to possibly dying my thought were just on the embarrassment of possibly dying in such a stupid way and while wearing cat themed boxer shorts I only own as a joke toward someone I used to date (who was possibly too blind to have got the joke).  My complete lack of concern about the dying part is maybe something I should talk to my therapist about - but effort.

And feeling vaguely weird about the last session for no real reason.   It was significantly spent talking about the session previous and my feeling judged by bits of paper and arithmetic.   Though he did point out I am more likely to get rejected for funding if my primary reason for needing it is deemed to be my chronic illness and thus outside ACC’s purview.  I don’t want to have to talk about my trauma.  I mean who does?  So there is that to look forward to.
