Every now and then, I would load up some load games from my Steam Library and play them through again. Like most of the games in my library, I have not actually finished them. I’ve gotten through some of them, but not to the point of actually completing the game. This is the opposite of what I would do on a console game, and finish them to as much of 100% as I could. I try my best to hit a completionist goal, and most of the games do an option or reward of sorts.
The silly part about these gaming moments is how I never finish, and I download the games over and over. I wonder why I never finish. It might be something to do with the computer itself, and I don’t actually feel many things finish properly on the computer. But on a console, like the Playstation, or the Xbox, or even the Gameboy games, I do feel the need to finish them. There’s something lacking when I don’t.
In any case, here I am again, after another year or maybe two without playing, and I’m playing Hades once more. I’ve gotten through maybe half of the game, but I never properly cleared it. I think this is my third or fourth atttempt at playing it. I think it’s a fun game, but perhaps the story of the game is the biggest irony applicable to my life: the prince of Hades cannot escape, and he’s forced to fight against his father’s chambers of hell. Funniest part is my inability to finish the game.
Internally, I do think of the range of things I have yet to finish. I am not sure if I can complete some of them, but I have no choice, I have to push on and try to.
I actually want to consolidate some of my creative projects and to publish something. But I’m still moving along slowly. Perhaps tomorrow would be a good day for recapping the year, and to pitch ahead which projects I want to finish ASAP. At the minimum, I would have a timeline to work towards. Life is not necessarily going to get any easier in the months to come…
