Yeah, the world's still shit, and the nation's going to hell in a handbasket, so the traditional hearty "fuck all y'all" to the major players there.
That out of the way... summer is winding down (for all the weather hasn't gotten the memo yet), and there's no rioting in the streets yet, so I find myself with disturbingly little to do with myself. It's Labor Day tomorrow, which, in my case, means I'll actually do some labor (housecleaning, likely), and past that work will be ramping back up a bit, but there's all that other time to be filled, and I can only watch so much anime. Which brings us to games.
I've effectively finished Monster Sanctuary (as in, I hit an end-game difficulty spike that says "casual players need not apply"). Civ VII isn't striking me as something I want to play right now, and Baldur's Gate 3, well, I've played a bit, but it's not sticking either. I'm still plinking away at Balatro and Spelunky in short bursts. I've got Dorfromantik and Islanders: New Shores set up on the Steam Deck (think world- and city-builder puzzle titles respectively, I like 'em!), but anything more than an hour of either tends to put me to sleep, especially later at night. Basically, I need something more engaging-in-the-moment to hold my attention right now.
For now, I've hopped back into No Man's Sky, which just released an update with ship-building (and yet another free update, at that!). Will it hold my attention long enough for the Outer Worlds 2 to come out in October, or will my attention inevitably rotate to something else in the meantime? Time will tell!
