Weeknotes again, twice in a row, it really has been a while since that happened. Anyway!

Today I was on vacation and I have been watching YouTube videos all day long for some reason. I could have finished a videogame or a book in all this time. However, I was watching a long playthrough of Outer Wilds. Because I have finished that game and I am absolutely thrilled about it. What a videogame, please play it. Well, will talk more of this on my gaming section. In any case, here’s some other things that happened this week from August 18 to 24, 2026.

Think it’s fair to say I ain’t making 31 posts for Blaugust this year! I can always try some other time.
These weeknotes will be super lazy because I was super lazy the whole week. There were visits and I didn’t get a lot of time for myself to sitdown and write, these weeknotes so they’ll also be short.
Went out shopping to the mall with my sister, her boyfriend and my parents… I didn’t actually buy much this time other than a frappe.
Wanted to get a physical edition of The Odyssey but I couldn’t find a good translation at the mall’s library. I’ll just stick to digital I think, no big deal.
Still not going to the gym at all, I haven’t even gone cycling this week. I’ve been lazing around like crazy.
Studied more of Land of Eem’s TTRPG system so I can be a better GM for a future playthrough, didn’t manage to play again this weekend.
Literally read nothing the whole week. Definitely got absorbed by Outer Wilds and its lore, man…

Gaming

Completed

Outer Wilds - A game I started in January that took me by storm and was abandoned for months, only to return in August and get me through a whole hurricane. This game was an incredible undertaking and I am absolutely floored by every single thing that happened here. The search for knowledge provided the answers, and that finale tore me apart and built me back up. This is a one of a kind experience. You must play it. I need and will play Echoes of The Eye in the future.

Ongoing

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - After finally being freed from the hold of Outer Wilds, I’m currently making progress on Jabu Jabu’s Belly! Haven’t finished at all but managed to beat the miniboss, which was a pain until I once again remembered Deku Nuts exist.
Hollow Knight: Silksong - I’m gathering the materials necessary to unlock Act 3 and reach some of the extra stuff this game has to offer! Looking forward to that, but not a lot of progress otherwise.
Super Smash Bros - Played once again and this time we unlocked a couple of characters. Yes, believe it or not I am yet to unlock all the characters in the game, My deepest apologies.
Fire Emblem Awakening - I am still unable to beat Chapter 19, enough said!
