Chapter 70: What Did You Say?

It was the third day after filming wrapped up.

I had returned to a fairly peaceful daily life.

To begin with, simply no longer having to go out every few days to film, rub shoulders with people, and appear on TV was a huge relief.

Thanks to that, I was able to resume the hobbies I'd been unable to enjoy properly because they gave me headaches during filming... In many ways, it was an ideal situation for managing stress.

And although I didn't know the exact reason, my insomnia hadn't been acting up much lately either... To put it bluntly, I felt like life was worth living.

"What the fuck? These days they charge sixty thousand won for a game like this? They haven't even properly dealt with the bugs or optimized it?"

...Of course, that wasn't to say the world could be lived in without any stress whatsoever.

It was a world overflowing with land mines that could trigger stress wherever you went, so I always had to stay alert.

Games that were already expensive enough yet shamelessly nickel-and-dimed you with DLC, games that spent years in "early access" without ever officially releasing while charging full-release prices, games that blocked you from playing despite claiming to launch simultaneously worldwide... In any case, this hobby wasn't something you could properly enjoy, either. They acted like they were desperate to rip people off.

[...Then can't you just buy games that have been proven? There are lots of other games besides that one. You could just wait while playing something else, see what people think, and buy it if it seems worth it.]...
