Picking up some things from the storage unit, do some more unpacking, then hopefully some relaxing video game time. Long week, need some me time. IWNDWYT

Ooo, what video game are you playing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I wanna know too! I've been getting back to PC gaming this year. Finally played some games that have languished on my Steam shelf forever.

Finished Life is Strange, Titanfall 2 (BT ♥️), COD:MW and Stray. I've started playing Disco Elysium and Untitled Goose Game and want to play FTL soon.

Ooo, I've gotten through some of these this year as well! Life is Strange and Stray. I got about halfway through Disco Elysium, I liked it, but other shiny things came along. I'm starting the full version of Baldur's Gate 3 now (played some in beta).

Disco Elysium does seem really interesting, but it also seems like it'll need my full attention. I'll focus on it One of these days ™. I've heard really good things about Baldur's Gate!

Farming Simulator. It's like a relaxing paint by number process for me. There's something soothing about driving a combine up and down a field.

Yayyy for Friday! I took a vacation day. I am going to check my rocks in the rock polisher, go for a walk, pick up some pallets, and probably play Baldur's Gate. Having pizza with the kids this evening, we are going to introduce them to Firefly. I hope everybody has a fantastic day, I won't be drinking poisonous alcohol with you today. Day 15!

Damn I need your amount of vacation days 🤣. Firefly the Joss Wheadon show? That was good.

[–] blenderwig 2 points 1 year ago

I get 2.5 days a month. Really necessary for mental wellness! Yes, that Firefly. Trying to make sure our teens are culturally educated for memes and geek culture, ha.

Day 2, my motivation is strong as day one.
