As you may have guessed from my previous post, I’m stuck against a wall at the moment trying to decide on how much to add to models. So, as it was my birthday yesterday I thought I’d take some time out to just have a bit of fun. You know, I’ve said for years that if what you are doing isn’t fun anymore do something that is. Well, for once I practiced what I’ve been preaching. So, fired up the X-Box-X and orf into lala land for a while. Two days playing Wildlands with my daughter interspersed with a little blat in Borderlands 3, some chaotic zombie fun in World War Z and a quick gander at the new Ghost Recon game, Breakpoint. Just some mindless blatting and running around to find things to kill – well, except in WWZ where the things come and find you. And, a little bit of wandering around in Far Cry 5.
I really should step back and play a game or two more often, I have a nasty habit of digging and picking at a problem or a project until I’m sick to death of looking at it. Really don’t recommend doing that as it never ends well. Over the years I think I’ve abandoned more projects than I’ve completed. Sometimes it’s because I can’t take it further due to a lack of ability and sometimes it’s because I’ve just gotten so damn tired of it. I don’t recall how many years I’ve been telling other people to just walk away when the fun stops and find something entertaining to re-charge the batteries, but I have very rarely done it myself. Hypocrite much? No longer, nope, not any more. Now, I’m going to just walk away from things that irritate me and go do something that is way more entertaining. Come back once I’ve cleared my mind and either have some new ideas on the theme, or at least have figured out what I want to do with it. I guess that does mean things will take longer, but hey, I might actually finish stuff for a change.
I’ll let you all know when I actually finish something, see if it works. Meanwhile, off to have some more fun.
