clicking through |
have been |
|
my coping |
has broken |
|
picked them |
you control |
|
reduce the |
your character |
|
clicking through |
you control |
|
combat games |
into combat |
|
not into |
my bedside |
|
try not |
hit the |
|
avoid looking |
at walls |
|
I wouldn't |
I'm not |
|
bumping into |
fly up |
|
first person |
those types |
|
instead I |
clicking through |
|
have been |
would play |
|
avoid those |
this coping |
|
the game |
instead I |
