You could argue that it's my fault for leveling up too much and becoming overpowered but I haven't gone out of my way to do so in any way shape or form.

It's not like I'm playing the original FF7 and got to level 99 in the first area, you know?

If you analyze each level, they're all the same except on each one the enemies have slightly higher numbers, which is a thing that is counterbalanced by the fact you are also stronger with each, and obviously that is just basic game design. But I feel the balance is wrong. Too easy. Or I'm too good

At the moment I aint died for about 10 runs in a row & with each run completed I level up the characers even more making them even more OP on levels that don't get harder

Not having a proper pop at it. I appreciate its ideas but it's lost the compelling nature of the challenge with the level ups

(by not touching it in a few years, I just hadn't played it in a few years. I already had about 50 hours or so of it until recently playing it again. I just realise now the phrasing of "not touching it in a few years" might give the impression it was on a pile of shame or something)

Night night!

Basically, if you want to be in touch with me, reach out I guess. Cos I'm not likely to, as much as I might like to, cos part of me doesn't even know who would like to be reached out to

But I am open

Using that term "misinterpreted" there just reminded me of a time as a teen when friends and I were all tasked with describing eachother with 1 word and someone literally said "misunderstood" as the word for me

It was a compliment

But was also before an autism diagnosis & is funny to look back at

Except the type I'm talking about specifically is outdoor bowls, like this, in which I appear - www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU4M...

I do play indoor as well though, but only through the winter.

I'm better at outdoor and also I think outdoor is better

I know right? I almost just said "Fuck it, you win" cos I was pissed off at blowing my 11-6 lead and crumbling, but it turns out that being pissed off works for me cos I got 7 shots in 2 ends

Legit feel bad for the loser while being so close to winning. But that's just cos I'm nice.

Epic final

Thank you. It really means alot to me to win but I actually like the guy I beat in the final & therefore I also feel a little bit bad? Idk. Hard to explain.

But in a fun bowls fact, it's literally the only trophy at the club that my dad never did win. Between us our name is now on everything 🙏💜

It just started raining and I play better when it's dry. 4 hours till the match though, it might dry up again

Getting the excuses out of the way early on lol
