That summarizes a lot of RTS gameplay, you generally focus on building the armies with actual combat being a small portion of it. Galactic Battlegrounds is pretty much AOE2 with a reskin, so you aren't missing much if you are familiar with the latter. Of course, thinking about that has demotivated me from bothering with AoE.

Yes, that is true, path-finding is definitely buggier the more complex you make it. I don't think even modern gaming has figured out how to make AI properly walk to a destination without getting endlessly stuck on the geometry.

Oh yes, that bedroom is pretty memorable. Then we got the boat rides under the hedge maze, it was quite curious to see boats only used once and then never to use said feature again.

Oh, I find most music I cannot really understand or even tolerate. Acoustic never really made much sense to me, I feel a massive sense of ADHD when trying to listen to something like this. This means that when someone recommends Crowder, I can only find them delusional, because this 2 minute song became a nightmare to even sit through. I pity those who listen to their discography. Then you got Electronic music, which just sounds like a bunch of noise mixed with soundbytes. Been stuck listening to quite a bit of both, so I am pretty confident in saying that I just hate both styles. The latter seems to focus mostly on drum beats, I guess I should mention drums are the part of a band I care the least about, I almost always ignore drums/bass in a song as they are too monotonous. In general, repetitive music is terrible as well, meaning anything remotely commercial is bound to be terrible due to most people thinking music must constantly repeat itself to be musical.

The biggest issue with me is that what I like doesn't really fall into any conventional format. It isn't really gothic. It is nothing like Type O Negative, which I consider Pink Floyd #2, nor is it anything like Siouxie and the Bashees, which sounds far too 80s (and punk). My stuff isn't symphonic metal, since that suggests pop music like Chasing the Dragon or the entirety of Within Temptation since their second album. Note the generic drum beats in both. It isn't Whale Related Jazz Where You Get The Experience of Reading Moby Dick in Musical Form. It isn't the repetitive Darkwave you find. Nor can I relate it to Llama Drug Music. So what am I even looking for?

Radiohead. All I remember about them is that they were a popular rock band and also highly featured in South Park. As for Yahoo, I chatted with Raadec a bit there while it was still around. Yeah, depression is a phase many go through, that is possibly one of the hardest things about dealing with it. You get everyone feeling they can relate to you, since they had "depression" that lasted a couple months due to losing someone important or something. Relating to someone over mental disorders is foolish in general, since it says little about the actual person. And yes, you always have the devoutly religious, my family often has told me how I cannot be worthless because "everyone has a divine plan" and all of that, which of course is entirely moot for someone like me. I feel like these people could care less about how effective their advice is, it just makes them feel better to say their beliefs.

Let's talk about the common advises. Usually they love to tell you to "go outside more", which is pointless when you realize you don't really enjoy anything outside, primarily due to mosquitoes roaming the land and loud noises/sensations bothering you. My psychologist told me I had sensory processing disorder, meaning I cannot handle a lot going on at once, and that sounds about right when dealing with reality. Then I immerse myself in chaotic music.

Yeah, that is supposed to be a band inspired primarily by a band I really enjoy, but they pretty much killed any aspects that could be enjoyable to make... that.

For all this talk of official levels such as the SIGIL stuff, I bet few people have played JOHNC99, one of the most official of all official levels. Also found is JRBASE1, basically E1M1 except that it is even earlier than the one found in BETA3.
