Are you not bored of this format yet?
Nature's call...ing me
Watching my impulses
When I would game no-holds-barred, it wasn't in my perception of how quickly I used to give in to my gaming impulses. Instead of seeing it as a limitation, my mind decorated it with the drapes of 'passion'; my "passion" for gaming.
Only now I see I wasn't in control at all.
Such impulses have now taken on different objects of obsession:
Gina
Ever since I stopped gaming, she's started looking a lot more attractive. (I'm talking about her notifications)
Social Media
Looks like suddenly I have a lot of important things to say on a site that rhymes with deadfeet. (Mind wants to connect to other human beings)
Anime
Suddenly, what I used to slog through (much like how I'm having to pull stuff outta my ass to fill these posts and keep them going) (I'm kidding), now keeps me at the edge of my seat as if its cliffhangers have taken steroids. (Maybe this is because the interesting parts have finally begun in that anime)
Dynamism
Looks like now that my eyes are off the monitor screen, the sameness of my house is chipping away at my sanity. I find myself pacing around the house as if a dog that lost its way home after losing its sense of smell thanks to some dipshit who thought it would be funny to put masks on a dog (I made this up, don't google news about it), is searching for its way back. Try coming up with a sentence bigger than that. Don't, it's a rhetoric challenge. Just like the one issued by that mask salesman when he said "try catching corona with this."
If only I had known.
I uninstalled Steam and Free Games Sto-
Cough cough
Epic Games Store, today.
Goodbye, my friend.
It seems the games are still there but when opened, they blurt out Steam not installed, closing because we're dependent just like Sharan is on his parents even though it's about time he got a stable, real job or something. I found out because I wanted to ensure they weren't working, not because the urge to game took me over.
No pic of Epic Games Store uninstalling because it got over before I blinked. If only some exes uninstalled themselves outta your life that quick, amirite? I wouldn't know, I have no life.
It felt like I lost two limbs when I got rid of those launchers.
This also means no more claiming free games every week that EGS dished out.
Rainbows after storms
Tomorrow onward, post-dinner, I'll be going for my evening walks on the terrace. This is going to feel great because outdoors around evening are one of my favorites. I like the calmness, the breeze and the stars that come out at night. Plus, the view of the sky from there is thankfully not obstructed by higher buildings.
Hopefully, a bat with rabies doesn't bite me. I looked up that disease after falling in a rabbit-hole and it is scary. (For those who are already scarred like me: yes, that Youtube video)
My wake-up time will be upped by an hour and a half tomorrow hence. (Am I writing like Shakespeare or what?)
This brings it from 8 AM to 6:30 AM.
I love mornings.
More time to be aware: I'm thinking of watching only 1 anime episode a day and in place of the 3874 remaining episodes, I'll either stand in the balcony, not doing anything, and contemplate life like a Disney character after something sad happens, or I'll learn Blender.
This is a bit of a broken rainbow because I'll miss watching more episodes of anime.
Just when it started getting better
Okay, that's it goodnight.
