Probably comes as no surprise, 280 hours...

Pokémon Violet was my "play while on the treadmill at the gym" game, so I'm a bit disappointed in myself that it's so low XD

🎵 The Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream (1969)
Photo of a vinyl record on a turntable with the album propped up beside it. The album cover features an illustration of a dreamlike scene rendered in dark blue shades. The image in the middle of the album is of a bare bush with human eyes and ears. Faintly visible on the sides are a blue wizardlike figure, a bird with outstretched wings, and a device made out of a rotary phone and typewriter.

Who needs sleep when you have a new Yes album for the collection?
