Today's gaming sesh (yeah, I said sesh, so what?) started with a surprise day off from the EDJ. Originally I'd been scheduled to work today, but something told me to double check before I went in. No, this wasn't a great feat of prognostication. It's because management keeps screwing with everyone's hours last minute. I'd been hoping for the typical hour shaved off my time. Instead, I found my day off switched altogether due to an impending visit from corporate tomorrow.

Totally thrilled, I did what any self-respecting slacker would do, I ate a Pop Tart and went back to sleep until noonish. Once I dragged myself from bed and my meds kicked in, I turned on the PS4 and headed straight for GTAV. The double RP and GTA$ still in effect, I decided I had to do something about my sickly bank total after last night's purchase of a weed farm.

I spammed Trash Talk and Repo-Blow Up IV until around three. This all went swimmingly. The death parade didn't begin until KM got up and got online. She mentioned A Titan of a Job was also a good one to add to the rotation to prevent farm fatigue. Little did she know I suck ass at flying in GTA.

Okay here's the thing: if I wanted to play a realistic flight simulator, I would buy a flight simulator game. And yes, I know GTA's flight sim isn't super realistic, but it's complicated enough to make it frustrating for a barely average gamer such as myself.

Over a year ago I'd conquered the flight missions in story mode on the XBox One. Okay 'conquered' is a bit hyperbolic. Suffered through and adequately managed is more accurate, but I digress. While the controls for the PS4 aren't vastly different they are different enough to confuse already decaying muscle memory. Therefore KM suggested I go to LS Flight School.

Awesome! That's just what I need.

*Buzzer* Wrong! Guess again. The first and only unlocked tutorial is called Outside Vertical Loop or some such nonsense. But I don't need to know how to do tricks. I need to know how to f**cking turn and land! But of course the stubborn bitch in me decided to give the loopity loop bullshit a try. Four deaths later I gave up and just stole a plane from LSIA. I crashed it twice before successfully landing it at LSIA and then later at Sandy Shore Air Field.

Then I realized I'd lost precious mission-spamming time due to my stubbornness. I got back to business, earned   enough to justify the purchase of a rocket launcher. Then I waited for KM to clear out a public lobby so I could sell good from my nightclub and do prep for the Doomsday Heist. Hey, I'm never going to GFG so it pays to play with gamers who are f**king good.
