Thank you so much for being a member of our community!

Ok. Been quiet for a few days, which means, I went on another EPIC ride!

This time was Mount Greylock, the highest mountain in Massachusetts. In a century+ ride (108 miles), and 12000 ft elevation gain in total.

It was a brutal brutal ride. And I had a really bad day. Got a stomach bug or food poisoning on the day before, and the symptoms persisted on the morning of the ride, with one of the worst nights of sleep I had lately. My buddy encouraged me to try it, since it is a 2.5 hour drive from Boston. So I started. Legs felt like bricks. I set into my own pace so it felt better. But I almost gave up after breathing too hard and going too deep on a 20+% hill. I decided to keep going. And I successfully climbed up Mount Greylock, survived the grueling 10-20%, 3.5 miles long hill at mile 90, and finished the ride without any regrets. Though everything hurts. And I wouldn't put anyone else through this.

“Could you give us an autograph, please?” one of the teenagers asks with obvious nervousness.
Clara smiles warmly at them. “Of course." She opens her red handbag and pulls out two autograph pictures. Then she asks for their names and writes some lines with sweeping movements.

Frustrated with #JRPGs that offer brainless grinding instead of real strategy? I know that feeling! Many #games boast complex systems, but ultimately, it's just about mindless leveling. Where's the challenge that proves I played smartly? This design philosophy devalues the experience.

A beacon of hope is the #SaGa series! It rejects grinding and forces you to truly think. Bosses are tactical #puzzles; progress is based on understanding, not repetition. If you crave real challenge & depth, check out SaGa! It's time for more JRPGs to demand our brains.
