End-of-week Report

It's that time of the week again when I can look back at my accomplishments in the past week and wonder "What in the world was I doing the entire week?"
But it's actually not that much of a mystery to myself. Two days of board games, one day of personal math problems, a lot of half days on Mabinogi and Heroes of the Storm, which are the real culprits here, Cities: Skylines over two days, and a bit of Battle Chef Brigade too.
I'm actually really enjoying Mabinogi, which is nice since I really want to like MMOs, but all the themepark nonsense these days is sickening. So even if it's cutting into my overall play time of other games, I'm okay with that. Heroes of the Storm is another topic though, because instead of a peaceful and relaxing grind of progression, it's the same toxic brick wall as all MOBAs. I've already kind of faced the reality that I'm not going to hit Grand Master, and that's fine. I don't need to be the best, it's not my goal, and it's not realistic because there's a lot of people trying a lot harder than me. So there's no progression past Master - what am I even playing for? Add to that the amount of games ruined by teammates talking trash, being trash, or flat out going AFK, and I'm not having a whole lot of fun on average. Maybe it's time for another long break from that.

One thing's for sure though - I'm not going to reach my game goal. Not with school starting again tomorrow.
