Maybe you’re not feeling it today. It was kind of a long day, a bit stressful honestly, and you’d rather unwind with a beer than play Kaizo Mario. You’ve got enough time, honestly, the willpower just isn’t there. Golden Girls reruns are calling your name.
What if you practiced anyway?
Maybe you feel a bit stuck. Your gaming’s been at a plateau and you’ve been walled by Ludwig the Holy Blade for the last three days. You’d like to play the rest of The Old Hunters DLC, but if this is the first obstacle they put in your way? You can’t imagine playing the rest.
What if you practiced anyway?
Maybe you’re kind of between games. You’ve been maining Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label, but you’re not certain if the love is still there. You were working your way up, trying to crack a new milestone, but somebody pointed out you could get it easily by just using a scoring exploit on the lasers and… eh. It just kind of killed your buzz, a bit.
What if you practiced anyway?
This isn’t a call to go hard. This isn’t saying never take a break, or that you should spend hours every day practicing and learning games for skill. Honestly, if you just walk away from games for good, forever—you’d probably be just fine. But if you’re waffling, if you really want to get better at games but you’ve been feeling the inertia pulling you back? Just take 25 minutes and practice anyway. Like it’s a habit you don’t even have to think about. Or like, oh man, guess I gotta take a poop!
After you drop your practice bomb, then you can crack open a beer, or put on some herbal tea, and say whatup to Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia.
