DungeonBunny would call this state ... Shattered! But then, Lara would
too. She's still a Brit. At least until Crystal Dynamics finishes her off
with the projected "franchise reboot".
Since I'm no longer able to play the games, I'll just create art from the
games.

Exactly - I'm glad some of the other regulars knew what to say - as I was a
bit stuck for words. :-S
So sorry McG, but huge hopes for you!

Hey, as long as I don't have to do all that "tournament sports game" stuff,
I can plod along, exploring, ooh'ing and ahh'ing over the pretty scenery,
mess with the few puzzles. I'm thinking they really ought to include an
"octagenarian on pablum" mode for some of us :-D
And the grandkids are all just amazed when my hands or legs start shaking,
and me twisting around and rolling forward stops it most times. And I make
heavy use of CTRL-Z when doing artwork. I'm getting used to it and the
exercises after a couple years. But there's no place in the industry for me
any more.

headed, or that there was already considerable damage but without these
symptoms. Now, the docs just want me on "pain management". If I wont be
returning to the industry, they don't wanna fix shit.
No worries, one way or the other I'll make it. :-)
