/vr/ - Retro Games

35-40 hours
The first time I played FF VI was two years ago the day before thanksgiving. I started playing around 1AM . Feels like fucking yesterday, where is time going.
Any way, I played it from start to finish, no guide, only took breaks to piss or get food to smuggle into my cave. Took about 40 hours or so, was hopped up on energy drinks. Emulator also crashed and I lost about 5 hours of progress. I even grabbed thanksgiving dinner and ate it while playing FF in my room

I can barely finish anything or start anything due to anhedonia. I'd been trying to play FFVI for years but it bored me, This time it finally clicked and I just enjoyed everything about it so much and was having such a great time, being genuinely happy that I didn't want it to end. After about 20 hours, I knew if I went to sleep, I would feel like depressed shit like usual when I woke up and not be able to ever finish it so I just said "fuck it" and took it on as a challenge to finish it in one sitting on my first playthrough

Felt so great that even after I finished it, it took me a couple hours to get to sleep
