Oh, I love this game! Really short and easy, and the narrator is fantastic. But I might be a little bias, since Dagon is my favorite in the Cthulhu Mythos, haha.

Finally started in on Diablo 4: Season 6, and it was a little bit of a pain leveling up with the new system, but once I got into the paragon boards, man, things really took off. I am in love with my Dance of Knives Rogue. She is mowing down mobs like they're nothing. It's only been a week and I'm already on the Slayer chapter for season objectives. At this rate I'll be done faster than my Necromancer last season.

Played Amnesia: The Bunker (again, lol) one night for a couple more achievements: never dropping/storing an item and playing through the whole game without saving. I was also trying to go for three with one about taking out a bunch of rats, but for some reason I could never get more than a group of 4. Oh well.

I second Quantum Break. When I first started that game, I wasn't sure if I would like it, but it was fantastic!

I was addicted to Sam's Hatch Chile Cheese Flavored Peanuts from the first time I tried them while walking by one of their many sample carts. They were a limited run, so I was very sad when Sam's stopped carrying them. But, they did start stocking the seasoning itself, so I got that going for me.

Every time someone does that it weirds me out because in the 90s telling (and asking) people those things would have been such a suspicious, sketchy move.

And now it's come 180 in that some see it as a red flag if you don't give up that information. I had someone on a different social media site accuse me of being a bot because I wouldn't give up the specific town I'm from. I've seen it happen to others too. It is both fascinating and insane how viewpoints have changed regarding identifying yourself online.

I haven't had much time to game any this week, but I have been working on what I have left for Diablo 3: Season 32 during down time. I'm not confident that I'll complete it in the next week when the season ends, but that's ok.

I'm really eager to start Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred, but I think I'm going to work on Season 6 first this next week.

I've been trying to cross off some of my "in progress" games, ones I've been working on off and on over the past few months, so I can make room for new ones.

After sitting on it for months, I finally got around to finishing my second playthough of Lies of P. I went for the "Real boy" ending, and man, I really had to fight the urge to start a third round. I really like the combat and 99% of the characters.

Cleaned up the rest of the map for Mad Max, with the exception of collecting all the vehicles, since that's kind of a pain to do. Much like Lies of P, I was a bit tempted to start another playthough lol.

Maxed out all the glyphs for my Scorcerer in Diablo 4: Season 5, so it's set aside until I come back from a planned vacation this week. I'm not sure how I'll handle a new season and a new dlc, AND a new leveling system all at the same time, but I'll figure it out.

I agree with it being one of the greatest! I can't wait to see where they take the story next.

I've into the goth scene for about two thirds of my life now, and I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if I'm sad or depressed. Back in college I showed up to class with some elbow length fingerless gloves, and the dude I usually sat next to practically tore them off because he thought I was covering up cutting myself. His defense was "I have a friend who dresses kind of like you, and they were those gloves to cover up scars." Well, my dude, I am not your friend and you now no longer have a study partner. I sat elsewhere the rest of the semester.

I've started working on portion control. I don't necessarily eat "bad" food, but I tend to gorge out when it comes to meal time, which hasn't been great for my weight. But I'm finally sick of not being able to wear some of my favorite shirts anymore, and it'll be good for my overall heath anyway.

In one of the DLCs (Signal, I think?), you end up going through the kitchen, so that's probably why it's so fleshed out.

Man, you've reminded me that I need to replay this and the sequel before the Lake House DLC comes out this month! It's such a great series.

Working on a last hurrah for Diablo 4: Season 5, just finishing up max leveling glyphs for my Scorcerer before I completely set it aside for next season.

Right when I was getting bored playing Sims 3 in my current save, my eldest... disappears. I mean, I saw her die, the Grim Reaper showed up and got her, but that means nothing to this buggy mess of a game. She left no tombstone or anything. So, my current save now is now at four generations, due to an adoption. But, I'm at a point where I want to play other stuff, so this game's going back on the shelf for a while until I need another reset.

Finished Amnesia: The Bunker and managed to get a couple achievements out of it. I might do some serious achievement hunting, but I also kind of want to play a new game, so we'll see how this week goes.
