December Digest #9

World of Warships

Unusual day. Logged in and collected the daily reward. Expecting nada as per usual but got this instead...

Yeah, that's right. I got a ship. A free ship. From a supercontainer. In six years of playing this game, I've only ever gotten one, maybe two ships, from a supercontainer drop in total. Now this unexpected win makes it three. Suggestion to WG: change the name from supercontainer to extremely rare gambling chance container. Makes better sense because there's nothing super about winning a handful of economic bonuses.

Fortunately I took a quick screenshot because I started having connection problems. Logged out then back in. No problems thereafter. Upskilled my Satsuma skipper to 14-points after playing four games, one of which was a rare Draw (first game where I had connection problems). 

==========================================

Today is New Year's Eve. Playing this game daily for the past few years has become such a daily routine, much like eating breakfast or doing the daily ablutions, that there will be a massive hole in my life when I start weaning myself off this habit. Significant day so it would seem on the surface. But not really. 

Earned my 700+ ships. Now what? 

Not sure. See what the new year brings. Got nearly two years of premium time left to me. Can't see beyond that free time. I may seem concerned at the direction this game continues to tread on the surface but I have no real say other than to continue playing. Or stop. 

Change for the sake of change isn't always a beneficial thing. 

Satsuma captain now 15 point.

And a happy new year.

Super Jigsaw Puzzle

Enjoyed yesterday's puzzle so much that I went looking for more and found Super Jigsaw Puzzle: Generations. Also for free. Downloaded it and went straight into the 800 piece set. There is the 1500 set but you have to earn points to unlock those. So jumped into the smaller sets to earn the points for the larger games.

==========================================

Who'd thought I needed jigsaw puzzles at this point in my life. But it is very relaxing to me. Time-consuming? Yes. Patience inducing? Of course. It actually orders my thinking process. Once you realise that and embrace it, the puzzles themselves become easy to deal with. Irrespective of their complexities. And the only you're competing with is yourself. What greater challenge is there outside of competitive play?
