Had a good NetBattlers session last night. Was mostly lore but I made it in the form of news articles and NY Times style game answers so my players enjoyed it!

I don't want to be a gloomy person! But I regularly shut the doors leading out because of strict criteria I hold onto. The consequential loneliness and self-hatred reached a peak last night. I can't share the contents, but I feel the need to shout into the void anyway.

Also realizing that, because my free time is so limited, I'm putting all of my social eggs into a few ttrpg baskets. Since I run one of those games, I feel like the fun starts and ends with me. When I can't prep, I get really stressed. Maybe that's not a healthy mindset.

A tournament arc is a cool sidequest for my battle network campaign, but designing interesting 1v1 fights is a challenge. Most of my ideas seem annoying to play against, lol. InvisibleMan sends his regards

Basically? I need a new group, I think. I'm already running one game, so hosting a second one isn't good for my fragile psyche. I need to prod people and see if someone's in need of a player.

Taking psychic damage from how often the same TTRPG group cancels. I hardly do any socializing because of kids, so having one of the blocks routinely taken away is driving me mad

Self improvement is too hard, bro. I can't even afford my cost of living. Now I'm supposed to afford to wrangle my damn Id?

Brainstorming my next campaign for whenever NetBattlers is finished. That probably won't be for a while, so I have time to shop for a good system. I want to run a game about MMO players, both in/outside the game. The main systems I've found a good fit are .dungeon//remastered and Infinity's Edge.

"Sorry for what? My daddy taught me not to be afraid of our picks, especially when they're such good practice and all."

Feeling adrift from my various friend groups. Like my interests have shifted and I'm not into what they are. Makes it feel like I'm not a good fit. Pursuing new horizons has been unfruitful so far. But I've never been good at that kind of thing, anyways.

If anybody is curious, I can ramble to you about my NetBattlers campaign that I'm stumbling through. I haven't run any games since high school (over a decade ago), so it's like learning from step 1 again!

The Unleashed PC release has me remembering fond childhood memories. Like how my first and only experience with Sonic 06 was at a GameStop demo kiosk, wherein a speed booster sent me clipping through the floor. I skipped all sonic games after that until Generations came out.

Wondering how people with jobs and kids can work on anything else - hobbies, studying, etc. I get home with half my energy gone and playing with my toddler until he goes to bed takes the other half.
