I've been spending the last couple of months going back and finishing some big games I've dropped in the last couple of years. Finished FFVII: Rebirth and Alan Wake 2 and back into Claire Obscur now.

Got a new pen on my birthday this weekend!
Kaweco Student. Writes very smooth, cool 70s look, reasonably priced (relative to other fountain pens).

Even though the matchmaking in Deadlock has been absolutely atrocious for a while now, I still can't go more than a couple days without jumping into a match. Just something satisfying about this game.

I'm obsessive about tracking my books in Goodreads and would love to start using Backloggd for games, but I just wish they had an import tool.
Are people just using it for the new games they play? I think I would have to compulsively add my entire backlog from Steam if I start using it.

Visiting a tourist town in the Yukon that is full of American tourists coming in on buses, so many of them with American flag shirts.
Couldn't tell if they were being provocative or if Americans just usually wear that many flags on them, until we finally realized the date. 🤦
