We played Overcooked again! So much fun. This week we played with the gamepad. I find it much easier. I learned to game on the PlayStation and I feel like I have much more control in the game. It is much easier for me to go diagonal. I know eventually, I could learn the keyboard, but in the meantime, I cannot do as well. So we went back to levels where we had two stars and tried to improve. We get so close, and its seconds within our grasp. I don’t find it frustrating though. It feels like we can get there.
I started playing with my daughter on the Playstation. It was how we bonded. You can get invested in the game. You can become part of the game. You are there making decisions often, that affect different dialogues and even game endings. I remember one game that my daughter and I both played. It was the ending, we were sitting on the bed. I started crying. I looked at my daughter and she was crying too. Then we started laughing at each other for crying. It was one of the best memories I have of her growing up.
