I’ve been playing a lot of DST lately, pushing towards 1000 hours of total play time. It’s odd that I actually stopped playing video games for months (more than half a year I think?) before this. And I’ve been thinking about why I started it again all of a sudden.

One of the many reasons is that I had to look for internship opportunities and I’m sort of overwhelmed by… everything. Sure, I can blame bad economy, AI hype and coding agents making it objectively hard to find jobs because there are fewer available. But I feel like I’m not really in the position to put any blame because, well, I haven’t sent out a single resume yet, when I had planned to do so for weeks.
