Between your singing/guitar playing and this Youtube video, I'm thinking...the world needs more Jonas on video. As someone who also struggles on video---well done to you!
I love what you said about skills and finishing. It's true, you could have an amazing skill but if you don't use it to finish things, it's such a waste.
Good on you for pushing yourself past your old comfort zones. It’s inspiring
Now, I checked out Plock last weekend and had a fun time with it.
Tetris type games are not really my cup of tea (basically any arcade-like, score based unending games don’t tend to appeal much to me) . But I liked the intentionally slightly “messy” feel of Plock - it feels less “claustrophobic” for a guy like me :)
There were things where I felt it could use some polish, which is only natural. Overall though it’s an interesting game: like a colorful, fast-paced and ever-moving game of connect the dots or something.
Something I have been too scared to try?
Maybe wearing more clothes that don’t fit cultural expectations. It is something I do do but at times it doesn’t feel like it’s worth it. It seems like a balance, anyway.
Glad you found some enjoyment in Plock even though it's not your usual cup of tea! I hope you will get some more use out of that mouse you bought, hehe. Nice that you didn't find it claustrophobic, I think I get what you mean but I also wonder why that is. Maybe it because Tetris could look neat and your mistakes are very obvious, while this will always be quite messy.
There's a lot of tension in what to wear, I get you. What type of clothing are you thinking of? (if you don't mind me asking)
You might have a point about how the perceived neatness of Tetris could make my mistakes stand out.
I also feel that with Tetris, the concept of "gravity" is constantly being conveyed to the player with the bricks you are controlling always falling. I am quite noncompetitive, so rather than experience it as a game rule that I need to work with in order to do well, I probably experience it in a more purely emotional way - as something a little oppressive, perhaps.
Plock on the other hand feels more like a "game of doodling" which is more my style.
It goes without saying though: Tetris is a masterpiece.
I have a hoodie that's bright purple, -yellow, -green and -pink, for example. Not a very "Nordic look" - lol.
PS: The mouse was dirt cheap and surprisingly good, so I'm glad to have it :)

I'll definitely try to stick to it! Even though it's tough. Have you made any videos?
Thank you for being so encouraging!

This is actually a good difference you pointed out between my game and Tetris, that's worth thinking about when/if I do anything more to it.
That doesn't sound super nordic no ahah, I hope you have some occasions where you can wear it.
Glad to hear the mouse is still of use!
