I have been trying to make some progress in Myst lately. I have never played a computer game before, and never wanted to play the graphic shoot them dead types. No-one dies in Myst so far, not even me when I do things wrong, so my squeamishness is unaffected. Or sensitivity. Or empathy for people that aren't there. Whatever.
Anyway, I'm so glad there are web sites that give me some clues. Otherwise i would still be wandering around wondering how to start. Last night however, I discovered that some of the problems I experience aren't to do with me. My copy of the game doesn't let me do some things that the websites tell me other players can do. I'm differently abled in the game. Its frustrating! And if I don't manage to get this fortress rotating, its going to be the end of the game for me.
Am back to working on the spreadsheet for the next chapter - which mean I have finished another one for editing. This is the last experimental chapter to write - hooray. Must be worth celebrating with chocolate...
