Wildermyth is just so endearing I loved my time with it.
Taking the same character through each campaign was pretty fun like I was making a serialised demi-god: Doofus and the mountain horde, Doofus and the ancient threat etc. Because characters age though the campaign, it has interesting implications in the world lore. Like we’re an archivist document the various legends of Doofus, acknowledging where they contradict and maybe speculating on how the differences in each culture’s legend of Doofus reflects back.
Downside is I optimised the fun out of the combat in always having Doofus at the center of the strategy, each encounter then played out the same.
Struggling actually.
I’m retraining into another sector, and so I’m taking a course on it. It’s not that I fail to understand the information in the course, I struggle with the academic writing, and so can’t communicate that understanding in the way the course demands. Which is unfortunate as I’m retraining into a communication based sector, being able to understand needs and communicate ideas is kinda the whole deal, makes me feel like I’m not cut out for it.
Compounded with that, I don’t feel the course is setting me up for success, it keeps asking me to describe “how things work” in my organisation. I’m taking the course to learn how things work in such organisations, funnily they aren’t keen on posting internal policies on the public web for me to find and describe. So, it’s asking me to first conceive of a system I have zero familiarity with, then describe that system in a language no-one speaks in the real world.
On top of that my fiancée and I just moved and I’m the primary homemaker, so there’s all those stresses and time sinks I’m falling behind on.
On the plus side, my motorcycle is in the livingroom so that’s nice, it makes a pretty ornament as well as a fun toy and useful tool. We have a washing machine arriving tomorrow, so I can do laundry in the house which will save me time. And I booked a week off work, mostly so I can catch up, but instead I seem to have wasted it all.
