Joining in!
That was so tough, so many that were 50/50

Oo The Casting of Frank Stone 👀
Project Hail Mary [cinema]
Enjoyable, I expected to feel fatigued by the long run time but didn’t.
A bit cheesy sometimes, the main character was anxiety inducing in his chaos for me, but another very precious character made up for it and I would die for them.
The Let Them Theory [audiobook]
Loaned this from the library last year and it finally became available. Listened to the entire thing in one day.
I was half way there on some of the theory myself, but having it explained and put into context was enlightening, and there were some great nuggets.
Crime 101 [cinema]
Popcorn fun.
Let’s see if 2026 is the year that I start watching and reading things again!
🤞🏻🥰
Mann.. If I ever manage to get back to making games content am so tempted to make Pax East a future goal.
Everyone looks like they have such an amazing time together 🥹
Yep, I have 100+ hours in Elden Ring but all of those are at my ow very slow methodical pace 😂
Also got my crochet hook out for the holidays, finally made the bee I’ve been putting off for years because I didn’t know how to change colours 😄
Also the cutest whale.. next up maybe something a bit bigger
Haven’t played a game that actually required real-time reactions in a longtime and jumped into Elden Ring Nightreign last night.
Wow. That is fast paced ey? A lot of buttons as well 😂
I’m a good chunk into Act 2 and lots of threads to follow still.
Just wish I had more time off, this is definitely a long session kind of game for me 😅
Took the week off work as I could feel the burnout bad, planned to be productive in other areas but my body and brain had other plans and it just became Baldurs Gate 3 week instead.
And do you know what, that was exactly what I needed.
Finally finished Act 1 of Baldurs Gate 3! It only took 60 hours
Guys. I spent 32 years thinking ‘I can’t ride a bike’.
It took one hour… I can now ride a bike.
Just go and do the thing!
Playing BG3 -
Me: The DC is 10 and I have 11 in bonuses, there’s literally no way I can fail this
Dice gods: Natural 1

I stand corrected
I feel like every time I open Facebook I get 1% dumber.
What an awful place.
Every time I play I get so inspired to make an ‘Isaac for Dummies’ guide.
The game is so special but I wouldn’t have even known if I wasn’t explicitly shown.
Alas, I am going to be stuck on Afterbirth+ forever as I refuse to move on before I beat Greedier on The Lost (never going to happen 🥲)
You know when you have a game that feels like home?
I booted up The Binding of Isaac tonight and mannn. That game feels like home.
Hearing the menu music was a serious *exhale* moment.
Obviously the subject matter is horrific. But the game as a whole is as near perfect as a game can get for me.
20% in one week, so going to see if I can keep up that pace and be done by April 🤓
Also 20% into my Python programming course… my brain is EXERCISING right now 😅
Not a huge fan of the way it’s being taught, not gelling with my learning style at all, but glad to be finally trying this thing I’ve been curious about for a long time!
Loving the mystery of it all and the topics it keeps making me ponder.
So far each new area has presented new mechanics rather than ramping and ramping the difficulty. Love that.
The exploration is my least favourite thing about it but I am enjoying navigating the main paths at least.
Almost half way through Talos Principle 2. I’m so much more engaged with this one than I was the first.
Had to google my first hint 1 puzzle ago 😭 was so close to making it half way through with my own big brain 😂
I would have got it as well if I realised you can reset puzzles 💀
I’m at the stage of Talos Principle 2 where I feel like a puzzle solving god (the first couple of areas 😂).
Let’s see how long this lasts.
I think in the first game I managed to make it about half way through, but then suddenly every single puzzle needed a guide 💀
Finding it really fun using DnD as a creative writing exercise.
I’m writing a diary of the events that happen during our sessions from my characters pov, and it’s a fun way to write in a different style while also getting to know my character more, without having to think of a plot or story.
DM - I have made an improv game that we can use during long rests to help us with role playing and world building.
My brain immediately - Please can you send me the improv prompts so that I can prepare in advance….
Why am I like this 🤣🤣
Horrible news 😞
