I love this story.

I don't have a great example of this.

Except to say that obviously I didn't try Dark Souls until relatively late in life.

And I think some of that was me assuming it would be too hard for me.

And I think there's like a piece of that in Kate's message where maybe she wouldn't have actually found these games too hard in her 20s.

I know she thinks that, but I don't know if that's really true or if that her personality and philosophy and patience changed over the years.

And that was the thing that made the difference.

And I feel like that's been true of me.

And I have so much more patience now with certain kinds of games than I did when I was younger.

That's a pretty good summary.

Yeah, let alone the six other Disco-likes coming from all the other studios.

Mine is far less existential and is going to take less time for me to describe.

So I've been playing a Zach Gage game called Not Words, and it's really, really good.

So a while back, I was talking about playing word games on my phone.

And I'm playing this game on my phone, by the way.

It's a phone game.

And I have a lot of really bad word games on my phone that...

I don't know what happened this past week.

I was playing one, and I just got really mad that I was watching an ad.

And I was like, this game is fun, but it's not fun enough for me to be dealing with this shit anymore.
