This Week 22
So I have seen Joel doing this on his blog, and I guess I will give it a try, I haven’t really done as much different things, but it’s nice having a little summary, and I always enjoy reading his week sumups so I guess it’s something that is at least for some people enjoyable :)
I had some really nice walks over the weekend, not as long as I would have wanted to, but the suddenly baking sun got a bit too much for me, so I didn’t get more than 5-6 Hours of walking done.
Books:
I’m still working on Accepting the Lance , it’s a good book, but it’s quite long, so it takes a bit of time to get through, but piece by piece it’s getting there.
From what I have understood this is kind of the end of the Era of Liaden that I’m currently in, so it has some threads to tie together before the next line of stories can sprout up, something I’m looking forward to, about 30% left in the book now, and on page 380 or so, probably going to finished off some time towards the middle of this week.
Games:
For games I’ve been kind of going back and forth, I finished off Promise Mascot Agency, and I really enjoyed it, kind of a wacky and wholesome crime story with management and exploration of a small open world. I really enjoyed it, and it was a game that mostly did very well within it’s size, just big enough to feel big, but not so big that it felt sparse and repetetive, a really fun game that I think I will probably come back to some time, to give another go, since it’s not that long.
Undernauts: Labyrinth of yomi Is one that I’m kind of having a bit of a difficult time with, I’ve been kind of bummed out about how grungy and not colourful the graphics has been, and then I was struggling with one of the bosses, which I finally managed to get down. Now I’ve started on the tier two dungeons, the thing is that I really like the mechanics and stuff of the game, but the whole horror veneer they decided to put on top of it really didn’t fit me well. I will be keeping on plugging away on it back and forth, but It’s not a game that I can keep on playing until I’m through with it, because I just don’t like how it looks.
Since I finished mascot agency and kind of have been struggling with undernauts I have been playing a bit of some other games, but not really sticking with any of them, I kind of feel like I’m not quite sure what I want to play, so I played a bit of crashlands, which is a fun little crafting game, a bit of cat quest 2, and kind of looked at the titles of some of the games, started them up, but just exited from the menu screen, I think I should probably go back to playing some etrian odyssey on the miyoo, because I really like the graphics, it just feels so much harder than the 2nd one that I played on the switch, I am starting to suspect that the basic difficulty I played on that one was easier than the standard difficulty of the NDS games.
Podcasts:
I’ve been listening through my normal list of podcasts, which are a lot, I probably should write them up some time, and put up which I really enjoy and things like that, but it’s kind of a daunting task since I listen to a lot of them.
As normal Into the aether has been one of the high points, and I did really enjoy the latest episode of stay forever it’s great how they manage to keep me interested in listening to the history and stuff about a game I have never played and probably never will, some podcasts like these I will put to the top of my queue at once, rather than listening to them as they come in which is my normal way of doing that. Video game podtimism is usually one of my favourites, but this week they did an experiment that didn’t really hit me as well as it usually does, instead of the usual ecclectic mix of different games this time they went full hog onto one game that I wasn’t that interested in, and while it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t what I was looking forward to.
All in all I’m going into this week with some new sun burns, and hopefully will have a good time, let’s see what this new week brings.
