On a whim I decided to indulge in Puzzle Pirates again. This was inspired by the odd craving to want to do the sailing minigame again, which I was weirdly good at, able to string up large combos and get excellent scores without breaking a sweat, something I"m just not capable of doing with any of the other minigames.
Then I realized why I probably quit it last time, in that the game ramps up the difficulty and gives you absolutely insane charts cluttered with random hodgepodges of blocks and requiring just the most arbitrarily difficult goals, and the game just doesn't give you the right blocks to be able to complete them efficiently. That, and I ramped into the harder difficulties while half-asleep, so that may be contributing to my frustration, but my point still stands!
Plus, the whenever the boat you're on reaches an ocean checkpoint, the game gives an obnoxious whistle and then PAUSES EVERYTHING, the controls are just slapped right out of my hands and I have to wait for the captain to give the go ahead to continue, which near always takes a couple seconds. Invariably, this pause almost always happens right when I'm trying to do some extremely delicate detail work with a large, convoluted combo I'm trying to pull off where a single mistake will ruin the entire thing, and I have my intense train of thought so very rudely derailed by the game's stupid bullshit. And this happens every 3 to 5 minutes btw, it really gets on my nerves, and is probably another reason why I quit in the first place.
But still, I got what I wanted, to fucking Donkey it up Dr. Mario-style on a boat.
