I think I made the right decision handing in my notice. I felt awful today, like I was completely worn out and I just wanted to collapse and cry. I made stupid mistakes, which made me feel even worse, and I felt completely hopeless. I think I'm burnt out, which also makes me feel guilty cos I know that other people are having a much harder time than I am and there's no reason I should be this way. But the fact is that the way things are is clearly not working for me and I need to make a change. I just hope it's a change for the better.
On a more upbeat note, I have been meaning to make a post about the games I've been playing for a while. So here it is:
Games:
Breath of the Wild
I'm trying to 100% this game before Tears of the Kingdom comes out in May. And by 100% I mean:
1. Complete All Quests (I know Defeat Ganon never marks as completed, but I've done it so I'm counting it.)
2. Find all Korok seeds
3. Complete the map to 100%
4. Complete the Hyrule Compendium
5. Get all monster medals from Kilton
I think this should be doable. I'm not going to worry about things like fully upgrading all the armour or cooking every possible meal. My main issue is going to be completing the Trial of the Sword side quest. I've attempted it a few times but never even finished the Beginning Trials.
Resident Evil 4 Remake
The remake came out a couple of weeks ago, which I was very excited about cos I remember loving the original RE4. I'm slowly making my way through it. I tried to do it on Standard difficulty but kept dying in the same place and the game was like "Hey, you suck at this. Why not go down to Assisted?" so I did and had a much better time. I do plan to try Standard again though cos while I am enjoying Assisted, there are some parts that I know should be more challenging than they are.
I think a big part of the problem is that the Switch and the PS5 have completely different controls so when I first started playing I kept getting confused about which button I was supposed to be pressing cos I was so used to playing BOTW. It only gets worse during fights when I need to do things quickly! But I think I'm getting used to it so I should be better next time around.
Disney Dreamlight Valley
I started playing this game last year and loved it. I have slowed down recently cos I'd done pretty much everything and was just going around collecting stuff for the sake of it, which got a bit boring, but a new update has just been released so I'm looking forward to getting back to the Valley and meeting Simba and Nala. I'm not going to rush back though. I don't want to do it all too quickly!
