Having a hard time...

[Sylverius]

Hm, high quality is different for everyone.
I don't do well on gatcha games~ makes me feel like I need to spend money... on... well husbandos for me. I avoid them like the plague lol.

I think they released a new divinity sin not too long ago on steam... Baldur's Gate 3, correct me if I am wrong but it's from the same people from divinity sin. * I have these on the want to play games*
Other series that may be like this are Dragon Age, and Mass Effect *Not andromeda*

For MH I don't know if you have tried stories, but it is great imo. Easy to lose time and have fun catching them all.~ *Currently playing MH stories 2*
The first one is on Android and you can DL there. Even try the demo out first and move the save to the main gain if you decide to keep it.
I think I saw you say you play on the switch the most? Same for switch, there is a demo for MHS2
If you do MH stories 2 is there, and so is another game series I enjoy a lot, Rune Factory 5.*don't need the other ones each game is its own world.*

But you can get emulators to play the other ones in if you like.
This game is more stamina based as you said but isn't limited. Like You can sleep and regain stamina without having to pay, just a day passes in the game. But you are limited to the things you can do during the day and have to plan things out.

Hm, what other games...
I would say if you really enjoy high-quality games *Well, what it is for me* and never have played a game called Okami, I suggest you give it a go. This is literally a masterpiece both in gameplay and story. It is a game that is old, but graphics never get old because of its art style and it is on the switch too.

I actually played MH stories 2, it was quite fun but it was just a demo so meh
Baldur's gate 3, I can't play it on pc cuz potato pc
dragon age and mass effect, I have heard of them, but I can't play them cuz potato pc
Okami, *MWAH* love that game, however, I can't play it as well cuz it's on switch... I don't have a switch.

I think the reason why you have a hard time writing your story could be because you've been seeking out story writing advice and opinions from others on the forum and some of it may contradict with some of your original intended plot devices so then you try to find all the ways to change it, but the story is no longer following exactly as what you may have in mind. And now its gotten messier and you're confused on which direction to make it better.

Kind of, but I can easily adjust it. The main problem really is myself since I have a hard time making them interesting. What I try is make it seem like it's a manga, and not a novel.

I think you should write what you want, and don't let the fear of whether people like it or not at first. Just write it out honestly to what you had in your mind, and then go from there. As Agentt says, first time you write stories, its kinda hard and makes you want to delete it. But if you don't write it out in the first place, you'll never take it beyond and feel the satisfaction when your writing has finally taken off. Accept that your first time may not be the best, and then it makes it so much easier to plow through it.

I did decide to write what I want in the end, but really, the problem is the fact that stuff just turned really confusing because my last 2 brain cells became tired.

So I gotta finish this asap before she makes the horses the size of the houses on the painting.

Oh no, she gonna make them into big chungus

Motivational, isn't it?

Depends, I wanna see some big chungus horses XD

Sometimes its good to start off on maybe a short, simple story, before branching to longer, bigger, more plot heavy stories. Once you feel like you can finish and accomplish something short and simple, then you can go on to the more advanced stuff. Sort of a bit like walking before running.

I guess I should have. When I decided on that part, the only thing I said was:

Also take a break like what everyone suggests. And then come back to it. You may like it more or find better ways to improve it. I keep wiping out the horses on my painting bc I thought it sucked, but then the next time I try to repaint, the horses look even worse than before. Happens when I try to "pretty" up my notes too cause otherwise I may not bother to look at it again bc its too ugly. As my mother suggests, sometimes its good to take a step back, a short break and then come back to it again. You may see it in a different light. And the perfectionist may start to realize that too. :)

Sure, thanks for your funny story XD

I feel your struggle.
I'm still on my first novel (not posted yet). Most of the time I just pushed on with sheer will, thinking just a bit more to go... just bit more -- with those imaginary deadlines.

One time I took a break and played Skyrim only to find that I didn't know how to properly enjoy games. I lost so much sleep rushing through that game... Or the other time I binged read through multiple novels.

Anyhow, personally I always keep going even if my writing feel messy without direction because I'll edit them later.
That's just me though.

Mate, that's also me. I remember having a break in the past, which was watching Vinland Saga. That shit was GOOD and I was motivated to write my novel again after watching it. Although, I should REALLY take a break.

Ah I see. Well good start somewhere at least.

Np! I told her she can do cranes. Let's hope we don't make pterodactyls. I don't want giant birds piercing my tiny horses and lifting them off now...

I've actually felt this way recently and realized it was because I did not have a clear plan for the part of the story I'm in. I had to sit down and plan out what exactly is going on in this section.

This resonated with me on a spiritual level

Probably the number one cause of burnouts in my experience.

Okami is on every platform, basically. And my fave all-time game. Honestly never had a game be so impactful. I am glad I found another fan~
Fufufufufufu,
DA Origins you can play that on a potato. I think DA2 too. Now DAI maybe not.. ME maybe? They are old games unless you get the legendary edition.
If you liked MHS 2 demo then MHS is on the phone~ :3 demo first so you can see if you like it then you can transfer the save over to the main game.
