But I’ll push through with the knowledge that another day will eventually dawn with a new challenge a new purpose or reward. Then tomorrow will come and I won’t have made my son’s lunch the night before, the ads on SEN will continue to eat into the conversation around sport I’m craving, and it’ll all just start to repeat. Everything will feel fresh, new and unexpected. Day” will wash away and that night, we’ll have something delicious for dinner, either made by me, or bought from one of the many gourmet places nearby. I’ll have great banter with my main man Kosta around work and geek culture, and I’ll feel empowered. I might even beat a boss that has held me out during said weekly day-to-day stretch and feel invigorated (damn you, second-phase Tomassi). Some days, however, I’ll get a new game, or an awesome collectible, or a great opportunity over email. I then either get coffee or don’t, and sit down to play something I’ll invariably write about that week, but mostly just to pass the time while intermittently checking email, cleaning and considering what I’ll do for lunch. Then I walk home while listening to SEN as the sports nut that I am, but hear more ads than conversation within the short walk, making me wonder why I even bother. I make his lunch (which I should really do at night, but don’t), then walk him to school while he busily tells me nothing of note about his latest build in Minecraft, or what happened most recently in his Teen Titans cartoon. I wake up in the morning - make my son breakfast while my wife gets ready for work. In some ways the production of a good bus service, route to route, makes for tangible rewards through gaming in ways my IRL ‘route to route’ doesn’t. It’s weird, but the monotony of service, in perfect delivery, is the exact distraction I crave as part of my day-to-day. Yep, I’ve been playing Bus Simulator 2019 2018. Given it would be a play, intermission meant we’d swap roles.
BUS SIMULATOR 18 BUS IN DRIVE DRIVER
The intention was to have mild discourse between the driver and a passenger. Disclaimer: Kosta and I *almost* wrote a one-act play as this review called “bus driver and passenger”.
