if i were to wager a guess i'd say that i just don't like doubling back to areas if i don't feel like i'm making any progress/discovering new things in the environment or story, and act 3 is a lot of doubling back to fight bosses for a macguffin. this is fine! just not for me

i still wanna get a sense for the pacing of the boss fights so i can take notes for my eventual case study but i just don't have it in me to build up the stamina! i'm gonna blame the weather (as i do for everything) and the fact that the weight of my backlog looms very very large

i think for a long time i just felt really discouraged because drawing used to come really easy to me and then i spread myself too thin and that suddenly Stopped, and i was just not in a place mentally to know how to fight my way through that. now i do! so let's see what happens.

i've been sketching pretty regularly but it's taken me an additional ~1-2 years to be able to diagnose why i can't seem to finish anything. it's been a lot of stops and starts but i think i've finally pegged it this time and have a path forward. it's just proving to be uh, painful. but fun!

hrm i don't know if a /bad/ one comes to mind but top tier: warhammer 40k rogue trader. i find DOS2 a little bit tighter than bg3 personally, despite some QoL downgrades. maybe the gameplay of the original KOTOR/KOTOR2 can be gently classified as 'mid' only because it's aged?
