Being strong and skilled enough to finally blow through all the dungeons in one play-through was immensely satisfying.

Yes, repetitive. But that's partly the point.

Each time you die, you know a little bit more about the enemies you're facing, a little bit more about the power-up system, you become stronger, you gain access to more weapons. You start to develop your own singular strategy that fits your play-style and enables you to demolish all in your path.

I liked it, but I admit it's very repetitive.

You have to re-frame it in your mind like a ground-hog day sort of thing. It's very much a mind-set shift.

The world is horrible right now. Every time I look at the news I instantly regret it.

This is interesting because I've felt the same way. Thought I was the only one.

Yeah, I've done it for a few years. It's a pretty predictable pattern at this point. Once I deactivate it's horrible. I get twitchy the first two or three weeks, wanting to check my feed all the time. Eventually it dies down and after a while I actively have to force myself to come back.

That's why I choose the winter and early spring to do it and why I always come back. Getting off of social media is really really good for my brain, but being 'out of the loop' isn't conducive to maintaining relationships.

I'll be going on my 3-4 month social media hiatus starting at the end of January. In terms of the blackout tomorrow, I'm not overly interested in actively harming Meta, but I do think people can get addicted to social media, so taking a weeks long detox can only be a good thing.
