Jump Space is fantastic so far, really enjoying this co-op PvE experience in space.
It strikes a pretty perfect balance for me; not too complex but not too straightforward either. Just right. Really looking forward to seeing where this game goes.
Big recommend.

My recent fascination with Casio could easily become an obsession, as I had to import it from the US and didn't hesitate.
I couldn't resist that funky digital display — but I'm glad these watches are cheap!

I don't want to hear any disrespect towards British cuisine, at least not while these are around 😤
Don't talk to me until I've had my beanz and cheese, guys

I was somewhat obsessed with Rockstar Games' plastic bag-em-up stealth game "Manhunt" in 2007 — a video I uploaded to YouTube garnered 5.4 million views.
It used to notify me daily with swaths of angry comments from outraged people who somehow had it recommended to them. Weird.

So, did anyone in my mutuals buy a Switch 2?
We love playing Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario Kart 8, and I still enjoy a bit of Switch Sports, so it's exciting to imagine what comes next.
Looking for some early insights (very early, I know) 🤔

The Oblivion gates really do look incredible in TES4's remaster. I never get tired of seeing them, particularly at night
It isn't AS fun to actually go inside and repeatedly run the same sigil stone gauntlet, but Virtuos did fantastic work with the visuals nonetheless

Yes, I also listen to lo-fi beats while I'm studying.
Well, kind of.. sometimes I just need a full day of the same Metal Gear Solid ambience to help me work 🤔

Something about the Online focus of GTAV and scrapped DLC alongside Rockstar Games' infamous dev crunch has me so unbothered by even the prettiest graphics of arguably the most hyped game ever made

"All hail the combatant.. from the BLUE Team!"
The adventures of Hugh Moon, the human (or perhaps a vampire now, I'm not sure), are going well now he's in the arena.
Oblivion is still such fun, though I barely remember most of it.

Realizing my most-played games recently are all indies. That's cool.
Besides Mafia: The Old Country, I'm not sure I can think of any AAA games I'm excited for 🤔
Indie games are crushing it recently — hearing great things about Blue Prince, so that's probably up next.

Now I'm stuck in a week-long weight plateau for some reason, and it's getting frustrating.
I eat a max of 1,700 kcal per day (averaging 1,654 kcal) and weigh everything I eat for accurate counts. Plus, I always walk at least 10,000 steps daily (10,517 average.)
Bodies are weird.
