Are relationships better for the struggles?
Somehow, I return to the five or so play experiences I can pick up, loop a few times, and then put down.
It feels like there’s a strict script one must follow: Games must be played to arbitrary standards.
Clients sit and talk to me about their lives, and I make mild observations or comments as I see fit. Amidst our chatter, I mix drinks.
As much as games are a silly entertainment, they're also bigger than that.
