I finished Rise of the Golden Idol, which I really liked overall, but the ending didn't do much for me, I thought it was going in a way that interested me, and the pivot to something that makes more sense, makes more sense but completely deflated it for me. Because the way the language puzzle works it meant my final guess was so far off that I only fixed it with the hint system. Also I really wanted it to be like 1 hour less of a game, so I wasnt up for another hour of being a detective and slowly swapping between screens and making notes on things. A very good game, but not as good as the first.

Persona 5, I've begun the second heist, and I really enjoy both parts of the game, but I almost wish I could just do the life sim and the dungeon crawler independent of each other, because it feels like I simply do not have the time to do what I want and I'm sure that's intentional, but it's the biggest struggle for me to play through these types of games.

Path of exile 2, it's good, it's also very poorly balanced, with needing a good weapon being so important and not really giving you the tools to get one. It has some really cool interesting boss fights, that have 20% too much going on. It does make it satisfying when you beat them, but also they need better sign posting for these boss fight mechanics. also the game has horrendous stuttering for me which I can only presume is because I'm on wireless internet that hiccups, but it's around 17ms ping most of the time so I really hope they figure it out. But given that poe1 had this issue for like 10 years and never felt great to play either. It's probably the thing that will force me to drop the game.

UFO 50. I have cherried the first game, barbuta.(basically beat it with a special condition that is revealed after beating it the first time).

I've tried about 9 games so far. Taking each game fairly slowly, there's a good mix of light games and thinking games already so I'm going to focus on beating them before I try the other 40 games. I have seen the demo reel of other games in the collection and am very excited to try them all out.

Oh and I'm replaying monster hunter rise currently. Learning charge blade. Just hit high rank and its going good, I have a backup dual blade if I hit a wall of a monster. But I only used it once already to farm some parts since I struggle with hitting specific location with charge blade currently. I have played entirely through sunbreak already and reached like anomaly rank 200 something. Not sure how far I'll get on this playthrough but I certainly want to farm some anomaly hunts.

Working out inevitably leads to pulling something, a month or two of recovery where all gains disappear and I feel worse. I'm going super slow this time, but I regularly do alot of exercise at work so I'm just as likely to pull out my back or shoulders there, and I'm really just starting to fall apart it feels like. Bad knees, ankles hurt, shoulders ache, back is sore, hands ache if I grip too much. I feel like I need months off just to not hurt.

If your definition of immunity is "doesn't kill you", sure it doesn't kill you. Usually.

But if you take the typical idea of immunity as "immune to this disease once you've had it" then catching covid does not make you immune at all. With some people catching it within 3 months or less of a previous infection. And given the rising evidence we've seen of how long covid occurs at startlingly higher rates from subsequent reinfections, it's laughable that you would even consider the notion of immunity to covid at all. It has proven to move faster than we can adapt to it naturally or with science.

He used to play Dota so maybe they liked that or something?

There is no monster hunter and therefore the list is wrong

Terrible games for windows live interface that basically killed multiplayer potential of the game.

I thought it was a mid RTS, but I was super Warcraft 3 and custom game addicted back then.

I bought snacks, and breakfast cereal and frozen veggies. It was from a ferengi approved commerical mega corp where I work though. I only failed to scan 15% of the items as a test of corporate oversight. Really their inability to catch my test proves they aren't worthy of being in their roles.

The Simpsons arcade game. The beat em up. One of the few good memories with my dad is him getting shit loads of quarters so we could play through the game on a rainy day.

Podcast games are generally games that you are very good at, but also require input at only one level. That's why being very good at the game helps a game become a podcast game, you can turn off your brain to the plot or thinking parts of the game and just vibe on instincts.

So rogue like games often become podcast games for me. But only after I've mastered the loop and the plot isn't happening.

For me diablo games and it's clones. Slay the spire, enter the gungeon, monster hunter. Vampire survivor type games can be good but sometimes you get focused on completing objectives which can mean I lose focus on the podcast for the game. The second playthru of a dark souls type game are usually good podcast games too. Or anything where you're grinding for a bit to earn levels.
