Cunning Commander
I mean, there are plenty of reasons for people to be frustrated. I guess I just don't get worked up about stuff like I used to.hype is so dead it's insane
- tears of the kingdom could be great but it could also be botw 1.2
- pikmin 4 might as well not exist
- metroid prime hd is a joke
- prime 4 went from being a jpg of a 4 to a jpg on a linkedin page
- at this point 3D mario isn't coming until hardware
- epd in general is probably pretty much done with switch
- everybody's 1-2 switch, the most interesting rumor of recent memory, is never coming out
all of my personal excitement lies in my hopium for certain weird small projects I like (tomodachi, rhythm heaven, maybe fucking rusty's real deal baseball 2)
I kid you not, the mere existence of Metroid Dread unlocked some sort of inner peace and balance within me, lol. I'm just along for the ride now.
Are there still games I'm excited about? Of course! Looking forward to Fire Emblem and Zelda! But that endless cycle of hype -> disappointment -> frustration was exhausting. I found one thing to be content with, and I've held onto it.
My excitement nowadays is sustained by surprises--things I didn't know I wanted. Not everything pans out the way you expect, but that's life.
I'm sure this sounds stupid and corny, but following this crap for so many years has actually taught me patience and contentment.
Applying that attitude helped me through other difficult situations in the real world too. Now, I'm just going to enjoy the moment I have right in front of me.
