I'm at the point where I have no idea if it's allergies or if I actually have a cold. I'm sore all over but otherwise my symptoms are just consistent with both. Tbh I kinda hope it's a cold because then I don't have to deal with this for literal months. I've felt like crap all day but I actually sorta did something today. I felt like playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon so I played some Red Rescue Team. I could have played Blue too, I guess, technically it would be better just because the game being on the DS means it just runs better. but Red is what I grew up with so I'm just playing that. I didn't realize just how fast the pacing is in the game, there's like one moment in the early game when you have to actually take and do jobs but after that you could just do pretty much the entire early and mid game all in a row. Recruiting also feels harder than it does in the remake, but I think the game overall maybe feels better than the remake? Hard to say though, I haven't played the remake in a while, but I can certainly say that the remake is just a lot slower for some reason.
