ugh

I have managed to feel worse now, at the end of my weekend, than I did at the start. Go me?

I think my bad cold may have turned into bronchitis, because my chest feels tight and sore and it's hard to breathe deeply, and also I feel SO TIRED. On the other hand, I'm not coughing and I don't have a fever.

In my weakened state, my willpower failed me and I re-downloaded Best Fiends. I had it once before, but I deleted it after two days because I couldn't do anything else but play. We'll see how that goes. I've spent a lot of the afternoon playing, but it's not like I could have been doing much else.

I also started listening to the Rusty Quill Gaming podcast. I'm not sure yet if I enjoy it or not, apart from my fondness for those participants who are also voice actors in The Magnus Archives. But it is a thing to occupy my brain while I lie in bed feeling terrible.

Am now attempting to cook dinner.

Hope you feel better soon.

I feel like I got into RQG in a meta way (I actually listened to some of the metacasts first), because I'm interested in how they're thinking about story, and how an actual-play podcast works as collaborative improv storytelling with the dice introducing an element of randomness.

One of my best friends has done improv professionally for decades (shows, IIRC including one where the cast would spend a whole show improvizing a single story based on an audience member's input, and now teaching), so I'm familiar with some of the theory.

And it's fascinating to see how it works in this context.
