Lots of stuff, secret santa gift exchange, Hollow Knight gaming, reading and whatever
This will be a short one!
🎅 For the Secret Santa event at work, I got a book I wanted! Children of Time. The party was kinda fun, we rented a mechanical bull to ride, we also got lots of tacos, and I had fun. Didn’t drink or anything, and I appreciate not feeling forced to do it by my workmates.
📄 I went to do some paperwork this Thursday, since I got a free day, and everything went well! I played a bit on my SP as well! portable gaming ftw.
🌐 Polymaths Social got out of alpha state, so I just moved my secondary account to it, migrating from the alpha server, you can follow me at @joel@polymaths.social.
🕹 Against all odds, I have managed to not buy any videogames at all, except for one: Okami HD was cheap enough, I used Nintendo Gold Coins to buy it, instead of real money! Yay!
🎁 As a gift for myself, I got new earbuds, this happened last week but wanted to mention it in my blog somewhere, I might write a review soon, they’re the Nothing Ear (a).
Reading
I read up to…
Chapter 41 of Caliban’s War, Avasarala is such a cool character, some callbacks to the previous book have been made which I liked, and some relationships have developed further, I am really digging this so far!
Chapter 811 of Kingdom, the political side of things has developed further now that the latest war arc is over, Shin and his unit are in quite an interesting situation and I am really enjoying the tension building up as well, the ideals and choices of the characters are very interesting.
Chapter 131 of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. I finally continued the series and the new arc is very very interesting, fun character dynamics and a rather interesting situation going on!
Chapter 252 of Blue Lock. Continued this as well recently, just a soccer match going on, it’s fun but not a highlight for now.
Gaming
I played…
Hollow Knight was played for like 10 hours this week, that’s quite the amount of progress! I got lots of upgrades and found lots of interesting paths to take, I can’t even see an end to this game just yet, but I kind of want it to keep going. It is very interesting and challenging.
I Was A Teenage Exocolonist was played for just under an hour this time, I was hooked on HK, sorry.
Solomon’s Club. I went to do some paperwork and didn’t want to carry my Switch in public, I found this game on my Anbernic SP and I decided to play it, it is actually rather fun, I think I saw it on a video by TechDweeb.
Mario vs Donkey Kong I played during the Secret Santa party, only for a bit though, still, very fun game, I think I’ll keep playing it during those short periods of time, fun puzzles.
