@backlog_dragon's diary

I was off sick for about two weeks last year and this is what got me through, I'd plan the next in-game day in my head while I was trying to sleep, which is either a great sign or a worrying one

Took me two tries to get past White Orchard, the first time was on a laptop that sounded like a jet engine (this was in my old apartment, the one with the mouse problem) and I just couldn't get into it. Second time on a PS4 with a proper TV and it clicked, I think partly because I stopped trying to clear the map and just followed whatever looked interesting, which in this game is usually a person with a small problem that turns out to be a much bigger problem. Gwent is also a problem. I'd played Gwent against every innkeeper in Novigrad before I'd even gone looking for the person the whole game is supposedly about, which says a lot about me, and anyway I'm 140 hours in now and still haven't started Blood and Wine so
