You may remember my gamer elegy from over three years ago. The Elder Scrolls Online on Playstation was over for me and a new relationship with it on PC was beginning.
So much for what we think we know.
This encaustic painting is from a screenshot of my toon Toreadorable on Playstation NA. (All of my characters on that server are named after some aspect of the musical Gypsy.) It’s a PvP grab. I’m the staff-wielder with a basket of fish on my back.
Yeah, that sounds weird. All I can say is that, in gaming, your avatar can wear things you would never touch in reality, like a bunch of dead fish strapped to your shoulders.
When my gaming laptop died and I had to leave the PC community, it was as sad as it was three years ago to leave Playstation. But I’m back in a place I thought I wouldn’t see again. That first moment when I opened the game on PS and saw my girl Gazes was strangely poignant. I’d forgotten my toon people would be waiting for me like old friends.
