I am a dull man by every measure. I don't have interesting hobbies, I am not an influencer, I don't post interesting posts on social media and I don't travel a lot, I don't do extreme things, I barely have any money at the moment, I bore others, in fact when I try to amuse my colleagues or the opposite sex, my jokes regularly fall flat and even my voice is dull I believe.

But after my kids were born I noticed something: my kids loved my voice, they listened to every sentence I made, they laughed at my quirky jokes I made and they loved when I sang to them or I brought them to the park or to the nursery and when I sat them on my neck. My wife took all that from me though, so now I need to fight to get my kids back.

But the moral of the story is: dullness is a matter of perspective. Even if you think you are dull, chances are you are not. It's just the world such a place now that the bar is raised too high that most ordinary people can't cross even by jumping over the moon.

So I don't care any more what others think of me. I came to accept my dullness and embraced it. If it bores others, I don't care.

如果要找一个类型来形容，那Elona应该是“人生型游戏”，角色有着漫长的养成期，不像其他游戏升个级或者喝瓶药就能增加属性，而需要从日常饮食中摄入高级料理或者名贵草药，提高潜力后再通过对应行为进行锻炼，比如交易训练魅力，挨打训练体质；属性成功提升后潜力会相应降低，所以这是一个需要长期循环往复的过程，技能方面类似，但必须消耗珍贵的白金币，可白金币基本上只能完成委托后少量获得，甚至无法用金币购买，这让某些人不惜杀害小妹妹吃下人肉作为代替。

As an engineer, I am fascinated by it all. As a human, I am horrified that we democratized violence on this scale.

A missile worth perhaps a million dollars can kill maybe 12 or 20 people. But for one million dollars, you can buy 10,000 drones, put four grenades on each, and they will kill 1,000 or even 2,000 people or destroy 200 tanks.
