Something here about loss (the @Lossy has my attention but only etymologically) is applicable here, but not only one reason...

FFXV OR the machine I was playing it on OR the (bootleg?) copy of the game I ended up with has a SUPERCHARGED coeurl. I thought I was battling a standard enemy, leveling or grinding, and

Game over. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. No dice. No phoenix down...

I initiated battle, and the read on the enemy was standard, but it took me out or took out my whole group - I don't exactly remember.

Anyway, loss is real. I have friends that aren't coming back, but in terms of video games I also remember a time one of the stupidest things I ever have done! - I reset my friend's brother's system while he was playing. I don't think it went to a save.

And I don't think he ever forgave me. Maybe somewhat, but I wasn't nice enough to him for a rational association afterwards. He didn't have a choice to forgive me since it wasn't correctable. I didn't have the ambition or emotional reserve to stop and apologize.

And it was a videogame. It might not have been a big deal that much after that, but then we lost him. I was struggling with substance use and when he went I was in no shape to be thoughtful enough to attend his memorial.

Memorial? I remember him, yes. It isn't just a memorial, is it? I don't remember that he was less or uncool or something. He was my buddy's older brother, and doing everything he could to be a positive example he was probably trying to protect his brother from me.

30 years later I'm sober 8 years. I can't be half the example he tried to set for us. To say I miss him is insulting because I didn't know him in that way, but I didn't forget him and I remember him often.

Especially since I lost a handful of other friends. Recently I was in trouble and couldn't go home. I shared with another person that I lost a friend from each group of friends.

I was satelliting or sort of couch surfing and my life was just like that - the groups didn't really know each other that I knew of unless they were secretly on the internet and I just didn't know; I don't care now because thankfully I got sober - I certainly wasn't then.

Then two died. One overdosed and another with a pills interaction. This was years later while I was away, trying to go to college, not knowing where life would end up, trying to get a foot into a career that would be life support on the heels of a short but fairly serious addiction.

It wasn't just those two. Another person I had seen also I heard died, another overdose.

To see what I have here written, you would think I'm stuck living with the shadows around circumstance, but that isn't it.

Gaming reminded me though.

The games I listed are in my opinion amazing! Couldn't be better.

 

I ended up getting FFXVI & Ghostrunner.
