I Haven't Been Enjoying Games Lately
Playing Magic: The Gathering seems like a chore. The last several games of D&D I’ve DMed have been boring and frustrating. The kid and I played a game of Zombies! the other night that seemed like it was never going to end. And just now I almost threw his Shogi board in his face (not really) because I couldn’t make a fucking move that didn’t end in the capture of a major piece, and trust me, when you lose your bishop in that game, you might as well just go to bed.
I’m identified myself as a (board) gamer for so many, well, decades, that I don’t know what this new annoyance with the entire process means exactly, but I don’t like it.
The old shit is boring me. I need new shit. I think I might be profoundly dissatisfied with my position in life at the moment.
Great. A mid-life crisis is exactly what I wanted at age 39.
Pardon me while I buy a sportscar and titty-fuck teenagers.
