#technological difficulties

I downloaded Twisted Wonderland yesterday!

I've been obsessed with the game (and Malleus) for about three years now but I was never able to actually play the game until now

At first it kept giving me a connection error message and it took me over an hour of googling and messing with my settings to get it to work

But it was SO worth it, I played it for *checks screentime* 3 hours and 23 minutes wahoo

Also friended my best friend and it's so funny cuz she's been playing for five years and she's so much more powerful than me

Origin: *pauses for a solid minute or two*

Origin: Nice try, but you have to use the Origin client to open up this game!

Me: Oh, I thought it was open, but maybe it's not?

Me: *double checks that Origin is open, uses in-app "Play" button to start the game*

Origin: "Origin is currently not running"

Me: Yes it is! I checked!

Origin: Haha, you thought you could play this game just because it's worked fine on this computer before and you've done nothing to change the settings since then?

Me: Uh... yes?

...next thing I know, Origin is going to try to frame me for murder. I just want to play the stupid game. At this point, it'd be easier to fucking pirate the game, but I've legally obtained it, so I'd really prefer not to.
