So my days off have been pretty occupied for assorted reasons since my first-in-a-while Zombies Run update, but I finally got my room decluttered enough to get back to playing the likes of Beat Saber after work….

Just in time for a sciatica flare-up. After a few days of that I finally stopped having (frequent) spasms shooting down my legs every time I tried to take a step, but my butt muscles were tense enough that it still made me walk funny, which threw off my stride, which caused one side of one leg to cramp up, which was painful enough to make me walk funny….

Ugh. After a week of that, and seeing the number on the scale creep ever closer to 200 (realizing just how close I am to changing the hundreds digit is so much more of an “oof!” than going from 189 to 190 ever was), I finally decided I needed to at least attempt some of the more “gentle stretch” esque songs.. on easy mode of course.

Managed to go a few days in a row after that without all of that pain but today my back and tailbone are crying for a heating pad again.

I wish there was a way to reset my progress in the game though. In Beat Saber and in others. Not a way that requires reinstalling, not with the risk of losing access to the game until I’ve replaced my headset. No, there should just be an option that says “delete save” somewhere on, like, every game I have.

Why? Because I use the scoring system to see if I’ve done well enough at a particular difficulty level to try moving on to the next level, and it has been about a year since I’ve played…. I mean, I suppose I could watch my heart rate instead since I’m playing this for fitness reasons instead of competitive ones, it’s just that the score in the game is right there in front of me.
