Yeah, me too. It reminded me of a poem I really like. I know no one probably cares, but I’ll share it anyways because it resonated with me when I needed it, so maybe someone else will read this and be inspired to keep on keeping on as well: “nobody can save you but yourself. you will be put again and again into nearly impossible situations. they will attempt again and again through subterfuge, guise and force to make you submit, quit and /or die quietly inside. nobody can save you but yourself and it will be easy enough to fail so very easily but don’t, don’t, don’t. just watch them. listen to them. do you want to be like that? a faceless, mindless, heartless being? do you want to experience death before death? nobody can save you but yourself and you’re worth saving. it’s a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning then this is it. think about it. think about saving your self. your spiritual self. your gut self. your singing magical self and your beautiful self. save it. don’t join the dead-in-spirit. maintain your self with humor and grace and finally if necessary wager your self as you struggle, damn the odds, damn the price. only you can save your self. do it! do it! then you’ll know exactly what I am talking about.” From “nobody but you” by Charles Bukowski

Embracing challenges is how you find the weird stuff. I recently got hooked on Age of Wonders 4, and started a "spider only" challenge where I could only use units that were spiders, or could ride spiders. It wound up being surprisingly easy, but in the process I learned a LOT about the game.
