This week has been such a drain, and it's only Tuesday.
Work sucks, it's so incredibly toxic and stressful, and trying to manage a group of people who all hate each other's guts just leaves me wiped out by the middle of the day. It's really easy to see why the colleague I replaced on this team was so desperate to get out and move to another project; every day these guys are at each other's throats, complaining about everything the others are doing, and in some cases, actively trying to get each other fired. I'm miserable, underpaid, overworked, and desperate for a way out. I don't know where that's gonna come from, though. I took Wednesday-Friday next week off, can't wait for a nice long weekend.
Been distracting myself with Nioh 3. My copy came on Friday, a week before it actually releases, and I've been totally devouring it in my free time. I'm having a great time with it, though I could see it being pretty divisive. It's way too easy for a soulslike, and the nature of it being an open world game means that, if you do really any exploring at all, you're perpetually way overlevelled. I'm around fifteen hours in and just mowing enemies down. My most recent boss fight lasted all of around 15 seconds. You pop your transformation meter, melt the boss to half health, get the stagger, hit your finisher and then rush them down for the rest. In a genre that prides itself on the "git gud" mentality, I think a lot of people will be pretty unhappy. It does feel incredible, though. I've been running a tonfa/spear build and it's so much fun.
As much as I'm loving it though, I think I need to get away from a screen for a few hours tonight. Mind needs a break, I need to de-stress.
