Congratulations! On the 2nd book thing. But also, because I'm here after watching the video, mucho congratulations to you both for tomorrow (or I think day after tomorrow) in your time zone.

(I was too vicariously excited to stop and do the conversion before typing.)

The other was me slightly offending a lovely woman in her 60s by walking into her flower shop wearing a Nostromo hoodie.
She slowly gathered the courage to ask why anyone would wear such a thing. And I realised she was thinking of the novel Nostromo. We got to hang out as literature nerds for a bit.

Still a win!

I've gotten to have some excellent interactions from wearing Aliens merch.

One was walking down a near empty end of a mall wearing a black Weyland-Yutani , and running into a guy wearing the same. We just stood around and talked for 20 minutes.

And finally a live service game crept in. I'm pushing 8,000 hours in Warframe. It's been good for me physically, mentally, and socially. (And as you might guess, I think is a pretty great game, and pretty good community.)

Less comparable (because I'd fallen out of the workforce due to chronic illnesses) would be the 3,200 hours in Skyrim. I loved the first 2,800h and in hindsight, wish I'd stopped there.
This was my last great hurrah with Bethesda, as I adored Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas too.

Since you asked:
Halo Combat Evolved was probably the most comparable (in that I had a career and study at the time) game I played the most.
I stopped counting after my 21 playthrough on legendary difficulty. This game rocked my world,and is the whole reason I have an x-box.

Yes!
I can see Lego selling tens of thousands of Catapult and King Crab sets.
(And I'm sure there are four or five other Uziel fans out there somewhere.)

I love this army so much.
