I'm going crazy. I know this because I just spent the last 15 minutes wandering around the kitchen mumbling.
In some chat using the Carvel Chat room in-game, I felt very ridiculed about bringing up a topic that I have no idea why everybody's so antsy about. The jist of the topic at hand was about how challenge and difficulty are extremely different from each other. Not really something to get annoyed about, but I can understand why that happened. The chat lasted for only a few lines, but it got me thinking. (name withheld) said that there was a page in Reader's Digest just for people like me. I get the feeling like I pissed a lot of people off by saying some hold was really hard.*
I want to stop playing DROD so that I don't feel disappointed when I try to play. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to the game. I can't come to the decision where to try to quit the game or get better at it. I know that getting better at the game will be an extremely long and difficult task, and I know that completely quitting the game is just as hard as getting better at it. What should I do?
Yeah, I feel jealous of those who strike gold the first time they make a hold. Then again, I've always felt that way. But now, I feel jealous of those who freaking
strike plain rock when they make a hold. The forum has become too small for a true variety of most types of puzzles at tons of difficulties. Nowadays, the only architects are getting better and better at holds. Soon, the game may lose a ton of people because the last of the usermade holds rival Beethro's Teacher in difficulty.
Jealousy is a feeling that gets you nothing and nowhere, but I'm still feeling it. Maybe I'm just setting my expectations too high. Maybe I can try to settle with a mediocre hold and work my way to the top from there. I could try that, but after I cool down.
I'll stop whining now.
*Those who were present in the chat, I mean no offense to you. I was just confused and pissed at the time.
