choices in games and self.

rev_marshI fucked up some personal things today (not in a major way, but I think one of them is a 'you get this one fuckup' sort of pass) so I'm feeling a little sorry for myself. I promised that tomorrow (er, today, now) would be a day of super-productivity, including a mandatory blast through paperwork and at least 1 hour of writing or sketching.
That aside, I have been playing the 'Choice of Games' series for some time now. I notice that it's pretty hard for me to play choices that are not comfortable for me - not uncomfortable, per se, but it's almost like work. For example, I haven't yet played someone who played along well with marrying for money in the social-climbing Romance game. I tried playing a total asshole in the vampire game but definitely didn't pick the most extreme of some of the answers. It's interesting, what I will and won't do, like somehow it's being kept track of and reflects on me.
