When writing this I accidentally typed 2025 instead of 2026, it still doesn’t feel quite right to me, can’t really say why, it’s been a month already!

🏰 Because of Dave, I ended up buying Land of Eem, a whimsical and more colorful take on TTRPGs, that would end up with my frist time GMing (and playing at all) with some friends! This was an interesting experience and I am writing a complete blogpost about the whole ordeal, it was definitely the highlight of my week and I can’t wait to share my thoughts about it. Spoiler: It was incredibly fun, and I have now ordered the physical deluxe set online…

🏋️ I’ve continued to go to the gym pretty faithfully so far! Even though I missed the previous week, this one was quite uneventful, everything was done and I continue to show up, which is nice!
-
🏠 I had a day off on Thursday that I used to play a lot of videogames! I actually had to take care of my grandma who is visiting due to the winter season—it’s much warmer where I live. I also got to cook—reheat, to be precise—some leftovers my mom made and we had a pretty chill time!

🎲 Because of the TTRPG shenanigans, I actually ordered my first every full set of dice! I actually got seven sets for all my friends. However, I accidentally got them sent downtown to a pick-up center, and I forgot to go there from work, so I ended up having to go downtown on Saturday to get them in time. I also ordered a new charger for my PSP, because I kind of lost my previous one somewhere.

🛏️ For a long time, my room has been invaded by an extra bed we use for visits sometimes. However, at long last, I have convinced my parents to sell that bed, and now I have a lot of space on my bedroom! Which proceeded to be invaded by a stationary bike… oh well.
-
🕹 In a moment of weakness I ordered the Miyoo Mini Flip, and I am super excited about it… I probably should wait for whatever Anbernic does within that same size and form factor, but I couldn’t help it, it is how it is.

🛍 Today was a day off so we went as a family to another city to upgrade my Grandma’s lenses. We also went to the Mall, where I purchased two books: Farenheit 451 and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Of course I purchased a few clothes for my family as well. We ate Chinese food to finish off! It was a very fun time.
Gaming
- CrossCode - So I played like 8 hours of this game in a couple of days during my day off, and I finally got grabbed by the plot in a way I didn’t quite expect. The dungeon was rather tough, full of challenging puzzles, but I eventually figured things out and had a lot of fun!
- Hollow Knight: Silksong - I continue to do everything I can to complete this game 100%. I had fulfilled a few wishes that I had missed and faced against some extra bosses and the like, super fun stuff.
- Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero? - Started this on a whim after charging up my PSP. This is a fun tough old-school platformer similar to Ghosts & Ghouls, I’m not sure I’ll keep playing it but it was fun to test it out.
- Nintendo Switch Sports - Just a bowling match with friends after we were done with Land of Eem.
Reading
- Persepolis Rising - Just another chapter read and not much more, I will definitely catch up in February now, promise!
- DanDaDan - I got hoooked again by the misadventures of these characters, what a delight to read their shenanigans, and there’s quite a lot of stakes building up for the newest arc.
Watching
- George & Mandy: First Marriage - During Sunday and Monday we finished up season two of this sitcom, and had quite a bit of fun watching it together during the night.
