Yes, I’ve been playing Morrowind again recently. The last save was from May 19, 2008, but I still knew exactly what I was on my way to doing, recalling very clearly that a part of why I gave up on the game at that moment was that I didn’t feel like crossing the map for that particular thing. The other part was that I was fed up with the constant respawns and the fact that, after figuring out exactly what I had to do to level up with full efficiency, I realized that I basically had to choose between that and actually playing the game and I didn’t feel like mindlessly performing repetitive actions for who knows how long.
Well, while I couldn’t tell you exactly why I picked it back up now, especially since I’m currently stuck in five other games and Morrowind was the one I thought I’ll be least likely to pick back up this year, those repetitive actions were, oddly enough, why I kept playing it. They kept me busy while requiring no thinking, allowing me to just use them to sort of suspend any processes inside my mind and therefore delay what clearly seems like another major breakdown until after tomorrow’s protest against ACTA. And now I’m so close to managing that while at the same time almost done with improving my character’s attributes and therefore able to actually restart playing, so it all worked out quite well.
Now I couldn’t tell you what will happen after the protest and the breakdown that is clearly coming and only getting worse because I delayed it for so long, but I’ll probably continue playing it at least for a while. I’m also hoping to get back to writing somewhat more as well, because you see that I haven’t posted anything here in over a week and my story suffered as well, as looking for ways to delay said breakdown meant that I even gave up on the idea of a daily word quota and therefore added even less to it than what little I was pushing myself to add so far.

Yes, this is basically just written because I want to stick to two posts per week and therefore had to post something today, seeing as I certainly won’t be doing anything of the sort tomorrow, considering that I’ll have to put every shred of energy left into attending that protest. I just hope that I’ll somehow manage to stick around there at least for a couple of hours, though the recent negative developments, including one that could be said to be directly related to this, certainly make it even more difficult than it would normally be.
One way or another, you’ll be getting another post on Sunday. If I’ll still be able to, I’ll tell you how the protest went and perhaps go into more detail about my week, but at this point is seems quite likely to simply be a brief note mentioning that I’m having this breakdown that I’m trying to delay until then. Either way, it almost certainly will be a personal post, so I’ll once again need to make up for it by writing two non-personal ones, most preferably next week.
