Sorry for the delay, William Triska! I took a break from writing for a bit. Spectacular question. I think there will always be upsides and downsides to playing the game. An upside might be stumbling upon your first few true supporters (which is what I encountered). A downside is that it is tiring and grates a bit on the soul (without being too dramatic). Sometimes it can be quite fun though! I am at a point today where I feel less inclined to play any game and rather just look forward to writing something worth reading for many weeks and months and years to come. Look forward to my first article upon returning coming soon!
