So recently my girlfriend and I broke up, which means I'm out of the Japan trip that we(mostly she and my other friend) planned, which is actually pretty decent since the trip is costing close to 2 grand and with an impending financial crisis, according to my sister who studies Economics, that's not the kind of money I should be throwing around. Also somehow I found a country cover of Fireflies on Spotify right as I'm writing this. Not bad. Well that's all I'm gonna say on it anyway because when you say too much, people tend to get the wrong impressions and someone becomes a villain, which to be honest, in the story of us, there isn't. Just two people who weren't meant to be together.
I guess I've drifted somewhat from my old friends and my girlfriend. Not being in the same class anymore or playing the same games anymore leaves very little to talk about. Well it's not like they didn't invite me to play games with them but it's Maplestory, you see. And I fucking hate that game. You see, it's an "RPG" but you can go ahead and ask most players and they can never tell you the game's story word for word. Most people don't even fucking do the quests. And see, they give you far too many quests than is possible to complete before you level up or is economic to do so. A person who actually bothers to do these quests will lag far far behind someone who doesn't give a shit. But you wonder, what's the most efficient way of leveling up in Maplestory(if you don't already know)? Well my dear reader, the answer to that is mindless grinding in various training grounds. Doing nothing but just killing mobs. And to be honest I really see no purpose in that. I fail to see how endless farming of creeps is fun. If I were to play an RPG, I would want to know every story there is to know about. I would do every quest and squeeze the game dry of its story. Now how will I achieve the grand achievement of "I can reach xxx level in 1 day"? Listen to every Mapler, when they talk about how "good" they are in the game, it's all about how fast they can level up. They don't talk about the story of the game. They know jack shit about all the other NPCs. They can only tell you about the "heroes" and that's it. What the fuck is the fun in that? What the fuck kind of an RPG is that where no one actually plays the game for the story.
And if I were to play such a game, I would actually go ahead and do the quests to immerse myself in the story and find myself left far far behind by them and I'll just be left to be playing by myself and what's the point in that? So I just refused to join them in the first place. And well I guess they took that to be that I don't even want to play any games at all with them and they went ahead and started a new game without even asking me at all. And they actually started a game that I might consider playing if it weren't so expensive. So whatever really. Really, I'm not even pissed. I'm just disappointed that just because I don't want to play Maplestory with them, they took it as a sign that I don't want to do anything with them. Hell they even went out to eat together and didn't even invite me.
I guess, it's really just how the way things turn out.
