December 1st, 2024

Today has honestly felt more like a November 31st rather than a December 1st for some reason. Today also feels like a day where I didn't do much even though I did. I tried out some Path of Exile for the first time in literally 6 years today. I only played a little and I think I kinda get why it never really clicked with me the first two times. Idk I might just not like top-down ARPGs. PoE also kind of hides the loot from you (though I feel like that's some sorta issue with the item filter), and items really don't feel that valuable unless they do something for you, and like I know it's the early game but still. Idk. I also kinda don't really wanna deal with multiplayer.

I also bashed my head against a wall in Slay the Spire today. Trying to get all of the unlocks with The Watcher and it's just a slog. I keep dying on Act 2 and it feels like I just have no idea what I'm even doing with her. Even runs that feel really strong wind up just dying to attrition on Act 2. And you get like 200 points if you die early, and the last unlock needs 2000 points, so I think you can get the problem I've been having. Just a really frustrating process.
