reviewing is hard not because it’s particularly difficult but because I am never satisfied

It’s the problem of ā€œI know this can be better, but I’m doing this for free and I have an actual life to attend to on the sideā€

When I seriously review things it takes several hours to make good progress

Plus you have to account for adhd etc
I feel so fucking bad whenever I can’t give a complicated setup my whole focus like the night bastard setup from back in the day

honestly that’s the setup I felt the worst about from a reviewer perpsective
when it comes to rokugan and anarchy, I honestly didn’t know what I was doing

I got worlds better at doing things since then, and plenty more assertive as well

so as for why I left my post for a while, that’s it really
it’s kind of hard to communicate but most of the time when people put a game on the table to be reviewed (especially a closed rolemadness) it’s a labor of love
it’s their baby
they spent so much time on it and they want it to succeed

how can you possibly feel good about yourself when you half ass a review for one of those

I can play up not giving a shit when a game goes poorly but in reality I get very angsty about it

I feel that. It’s hard not to feel responsible when a game goes south.

salvation. this project was torture. because failure wasn’t an option. i can’t redo it. if i fail i need to wait until next year to graduate. thank god for github and this random dude’s video with his 82 views on youtube and linking to it and me borrowing it. its almost exactly what i needed. god bless this guy. if i pass i might seek to contact him and pay him money. literal life saver

It was literally just ā€œGo kill yourself.ā€ and then you got like 10 kills in a row.
