--I said I was going to get rid of this but this is my blog and this is what happens when I get angry. I don't do anything about it. I just write an angry note to essentially no one and then leave it in my drafts folder.--
I'm pissed off. Terraria is a game, like two dimensional minecraft. We were playing on a server and I spent a good 3 hours remodelling the house. Why? Because it was something I could do. I already felt that I'd been left behind before. I felt like everyone was running around with something to do and I was just stuck there going, "Well, I guess I'll mine." And the worst part about that was everyone else had gotten fancy toys and I had received cast-offs. So yeah I'd remodelled the house. And I had put stairs across Micheals house to get an NPC up into the room that they were supposed to be in. The NPC had gotten there and I decided to go to bed thinking that I would fix the stairs tomorrow. And while I was there I figured I'd do a bit more walling, maybe make a few more rooms. So when I logged in next, Micheal's room was fixed. I'd got up late so I expected it however the other thing that happened I did not expect. Turns out Micheal had beaten the end game boss and put the server into hard mode.
He passed it off so casually, "Hard mode, your gonna need better gear." Was what he said I think. I had to read it a few times, to make absolutely sure that I was reading it right. And then I felt mad as hell. What in name of all that's holy did he think he was doing, fighting the end game boss without anyone else except for someone whose been playing this game for a while. How about the rest of us who'd only just picked the game up? I shouldn't feel mad on behalf of the others, I have no idea how they reacted. What about me who'd already been left behind by everyone once before. And to me he'd pretty much fucked my experience.
Those kind of games are about discovery for me. I was slingshotted up, bypassing a lot of the game, now when I had less than great gear and only a bit of knowledge I was going to have to play on a hard mode server. I sure as hell wasn't going to give it up, I'd spent three hours on that fucking house I was going to enjoy it. But now I have people who phase through walls and fuck me up and then slide off again like nothings happened. And a boss that spawns in the middle of the base for no apparent reason offs me and then flies away.
This has happened in another game before which I don't blame Micheal for not knowing about. Long story short I was borrowing a minecraft account on a server and they were about to fight the ender dragon. I went to bed and then when I woke up it was gone. I'd been left behind.
I mean what the hell dude. We had two of those fucking dolls you could have taken one into your own world and "Seen it before everyone else did it". We weren't going to leave you behind. But you over-reacted over some fucking stairs. You felt exactly the same way I did when I woke up and Psi had handed out gifts. Except instead of building a giant dick you went and fucking cleared the game. At least when I was unhappy at being left behind I didn't absolutely fuck up someone else's first experience with the game.
And it was my fault you know, for building those stairs and decorating and remaking the house. That was literally all that had happened except for a meteorite. And it's my fault for continuing to play. He admitted he fucked up but not before I had to lecture him into it. It didn't even feel contrite. It's like children muttering sorry after a telling off.
So yeah I'm pissed, I hope you feel guilty about this and I have no problems with it.
