it's embarrassing to say here because people here probably play really complex games that take forever to get good at. i played it years ago and it got really bad. i got really bad tennis elbow from it! i went to a doctor! we got rid of our PS4 though and it was a relief. but during the pandemic cyrus bought a PS5 from a friend of his and he basically stopped using it after a minute and i just needed something mindless cuz i was kinda going out of my mind so i bought the game again. it's called Resogun. i play Resogun: Demolition a lot. if you want mindless it does the trick. even after all this time i'm still 11th in the world. i have a new user now though. i'm not as fast as i used to be. i'm 23rd in the world with my new user. i don't play it nearly as much as i once did. i think back then it was just an avoidance thing. i became obsessive with it. i probably played a total of months if you did the math.
i used to play the Survival mode a lot back then. its an arcade-style game with one life but if you get good at it one game can be an hour. i'm still in the top 100 there but people got really good at it. like, did-they-find-some-kind-of-hack good. it is not easy to get past a certain point.
anyway, long story short, i'm an idiot. and a side-scrolling idiot at that. Defender will always be my number one. since 1981.
but, hey, i didn't smoke one friggin' cigarette during a worldwide pandemic! i am still proud of myself for that.
