CarrionCrow: I keep reminding myself that I've got a ton of games to play, that Pier Solar can wait until it comes back around again on sale, or when I've got 15 spare dollars lying around. It's....kinda....working at the moment. -laughs-
Doing okay here, sorry to hear that you're not sleeping well, though. Hopefully it'll stop being a pain sooner rather than later. The 3 hours sleep thing sucks. A lot.
penumbren: That's sort of my take on it, too. But it's
so tempting... *g* I suspect, if nothing else, I'll end up waffling until the sale runs out and takes the decision out of my hands. We really do have other things I should be worrying about right now beyond yet another game, but... :P
I've had insomnia issues for over 20 years. It's at least partly due to the fact that my normal sleep routine would run about eight hours off the general 'norm' (up until 4-ish, sleep until noon-ish) if I could do it, but I've been forced to the 'norm' of 10pm/6am all my life. It tends to crop up (i.e., be much worse than it usually is) at least three or four times a year. Right now it's probably because I am working part-time from home, rather than full-time in an office, and there are no real repercussions to my keeping my own schedule, other than not seeing other people who live here. Which, currently, is both good and bad, but that's another story completely.
But, the game looks really good and it's half off, so it's going to eat away at your resolve until, like you said, it either gets bought or the sale ends.
Something I've never liked about the overall structure - just a complete lack of recognition that some people are NOT day people. And it's not laziness, it's not oversleeping, it's the chemicals in each person's head telling them when they should or should not be up.
But you have to torch that in order to fit someone else's schedule and sacrifice decent sleep to hold down a job.
I get what you mean. When it's you in charge of the schedule, things can get a little odd.
"Up three and a half days aside from 10 minute naps here and there, then a 14 hour miniature coma? Perfect!"
And yeah, it's got ups and downs, to be sure. You feel kinda bad when you're crashed out while someone you actually care about is up, but for anyone else it's "Fuck you, I don't have to see your stupid godsdamned face because I slept through your daily bullshit!
And if I'm lucky, you'll die in your sleep while I'm wide awake, just so I can hear the last little gurgle before the end and have my own little private moment of laughing until I nearly piss myself, right before I make some more coffee and enjoy the peace and quiet til the ambulance shows up..."
Well....that's been my fantasy at times, anyway.
Stilton: Just been told by my good lady to go and play PC games, which is shieldmaiden for Get Out From Under My Feet. Imagine that, a Viking of my humongous size being told what to do by someone who is practically a tenth of my girth, and me the village Chieftain! I don't know what the world's coming to. Its not like the old days...
At least she doesn't say it with bashing you in the head with a blunt object? -laughs-
