Terr...reckoning
So ... kind of ... distrought ... over ... a given lack of clarity I ... paused and then found some headroom
to go and take a closer look through my inventory. I mean, going through the images I just posted made me
realize that somehow Lisa is missing a hammer. And also, she isn't missing a Metal Detector but the whole
fishing stuff. So ... I wanted to check up on what I got where. I mean, I did push that "auto dump" icon and
saw a bunch of stuff flying from my inventory. I suppose the Hammer might have been a part of that. And sure
enough ... I had quite a few of them. Some here and some there. Back then there wasn't a loadout function
either, and so ... it's useful unless You kind of want to use a few between loadouts. Then it's a bit of
a hastle. To say, when You're not "in it" anymore, it's kind of ... not practical. I mean, you can store
secondary items and have a miner/fisher ... uh, well.
So ... I then noticed some other things. I have that item I'm sure requires a drop from the Crimson ...
and see, there's this other Character I'm having that I totally ... erased from my Memory and my attention ...
it seems. And that's kind of ... what irks me.
So, I was going through my stuff and then remembered that I had this setup where I had a Lava Pool near my
base - and I did some fishing there. So, I then checked my worlds again ... and so, there's this Master
Mode world that I totally ignored because I thought that I had only started it and never got through. Turns
out, that's the world I was thinking about. And so, that's where those 120 hours come from.
I mean, I know that something was fishy here. I think I took some items from my previous playthrough into
this one ... and ultimately never got around killing the Moonlord? I'm not sure. I have the Cultist Trophy
somewhere, but the Moonlord Trophy isn't there.
...
Is it important? Maybe. Maybe the story was, that somehow they got my data and now I had enough and what I did
would go unnoticed. Like this one. I mean ... it's kind of there. A silent need to ... be noticed. To show
that I exist and have some kind of ... healthy relationship with that.
I guess that this also goes to show that I don't really care to show off. There just happens to be stuff that
I could show off. And however one were to go about it "properly", whatever "the right channels" might be;
My homepage is probably one of them.
I also like ... made an effort to mostly leave my Gravestones where they fall. And it's a lot more than I
would like to admit. Moving through this world on my Pirate ship ... there's a couple of spots. I suppose one
could make out where the Pillars appear and ... stuff. ... Makes me want to start over on a harder difficulty
... and then gradually unlock "world sharing privileges" between my Characters?
Not that it matters - I suppose. I'd pool it all together somewhere and then delete all of them but one. Or
I might ... if it mattered at all. But this obsession ... or complex of obsessions is so ass. In a way. It's
like ritualistic self-sabotage. It comes with layers and maybe a shadow beaurocracy.
But alas. What has to be done needs to be done. And however I might want to go about it. I mean ... it doesn't
really matter. But something is just wrong about ... there being no limits. It's ... too easy? And maybe I don't
know, really, where I stand on these kinds of issues.
Like ... a part of me treats these Characters like it's an MMORPG ... where, properly tackling the challenge I
should build a weapons test range. I mean ... I have a lot of stuff - like, a casual load of world-ending
weaponry. Then it's down to challenges. How little can I beat this or that with. But is that what I want? What
do I want?
...
Is it all rather pointless?
Maybe. I mean ... I find myself in a bit of an odd spot ...
