Your inner dialogue goes something like this.
What does your most recent episode of cognitive dissonance look like?
I'll offer the first. Today I am going to restart my Pokemon Y playthrough to get a perfect Zapdos. An entire 20-40 hour game, just for one Pokemon. I have come to the conclusion that I really, really want one for VGC battles, as they are just far too versatile to ignore. And! I will most likely need to soft reset hundreds of times to get one with Hidden Power Ice.
I think I'm going to do it. I think I'm actually going to spend the <x amount> hours it takes to get this Pokemon.
I can't believe I've gotten to the point where this is an acceptable use of my time. I could be reading a book or buying a drink for a pretty new person in my life.
Time to get cracking, I guess.
Shit, why did I spend all that time on this?
