  • I don’t play games to beat records. I play them to relax after work.

    If I die a hundred times, its a lot easier to switch to a game that’s at the difficulty I’m willing to engage with. Sure, I can manually tweak the difficulty to make it easier, that can help, but when I do that it’s too easy to score an own goal. Once you start cheating, you fall into the trap of making the game too easy or boring. Nine times out of 10, it’s so much easier to just switch to a different game. And the fact that my backlog is astronomical in size doesn’t help.

    I do use save states out of convenience, though. Sometimes the save point is too far away and life just gets in the way.
