Today’s game is Knights of the Old Republic. I played this like back in 2018 when it was on Game Pass and made it to the academy. Unfortunately I believe it was pulled from Game Pass (one of the reasons I never went back to it and one of the many reasons I avoid game pass now). Because of that I never got a chance to finish it. Fast forward about last year and I bought a copy. Now fast forward to now and I’ve really been wanting to play an RPG. I’m not sure if that will scratch that itch but this seemed the most appealing to me so it’s what I went with.

My guy is named Riblet. There’s not any particular reason behind that, I just looked at him and thought “yeah. He kind of looks like a Riblet.” So that’s what I named him. I made him a soldier. I remember on my last save I went with Scoundrel because I thought they were cool but I also really struggled in combat. So hopefully here I should do a little bit better.

The combat is fun. I like the concept though I do feel like it’s a lot of “stand there and trade shots until one party wins”. Not bad but definitely nothing amazing.

Admittedly after crashing on the planet I didn’t do a whole lot. I spent most the time trying to figure out how to get down to the undercity. I wandered into a bar, watched an arena match, wandered out, fought off some debt collectors, then wandered over to an elevator where I got yelled at followed by me trying to enter a military base. So far a lot of wandering around blind. It’s been a lot more fun than I was expecting. Hopefully next time I play though I’ll actually be able to find my way underground.

    People have different hobbies. Maybe you have others, and that’s okay.

    If you like it, playing games every day with a full time job should not be some kind of magic trick, and if it is, there might be something wrong with your job.

      I’d say gaming is my #1 hobby and has been for 20+ years and I still don’t think I’ve ever played video games for 773 straight days, let alone found the time to post about it every day. So, in a very genuine way, I have the same questions as the original commenter.

        I play games basically every day. I don’t think I can claim 700+ straight days, though, I don’t really play games while on vacation.
