Games
With the big project consuming much time and focus out of the way, I look back toward games a bit...
I've still been getting a little time here and there into Warframe. While it can be a little grindy at times, it hasn't burned me out. It's generally fun to play. And I've actually managed to get everything together to make my first constructed (started with Excalibur initially and Frost Prime from a Twitch freebie) warframe: Ivara. That's a little exciting because it's one of a handful of frames that have stealthy abilities. Using it will mean learning some new ways to play trading off Frost's higher armor and awesome bubble shield for invisibility. I'm eager to see how that plays.
Some would say the game is brave for unlocking new aspects for players only after so many hours of playing. Frankly, I think it has more to do with the iterative game design. Either way, it's unusual.
As for new, I decided to buy Destiny 2. I haven't managed much time with it, and most of that overlaps with what I played in the beta demo. It's a capable shooter, but... uhh... maybe playing Warframe has "spoiled" me some recently, because the movement and first person perspective all feel kind of limiting in comparison. My very early impression here is I want more story depth to keep me from feeling bored as I shoot through enemies to the next objective marker. Hmm. That or I want the shooting to feel more fun somehow. I wonder if maybe I should have hit up The New Colossus first.
