The year is pretty much over, and here is what I did this last month! A lot of things have happened so let's review how it went
Since I started doing week notes now, these posts do not require to be as in-depth, because most of my thoughts on the games and media I watched, I already shared, however I will still list everything I watched, read, listened and enjoyed in this one single blog post because I want to.
Podcasts
This month was quite regular when it comes to my podcast listening. Also to save you time, I wil use the ✨ emoji when new or uncommon stuff shows up in my media.
✨ The Nerd Nest for 1.8 hours, this is a new one! I wanted to give a listen to their Game Awards episode and liked it.
Welcome to Night Vale for 20 hours. Lots of sleeping listening to this podcast for once, I think I forgot to setup the sleep timer one day.
Retro Game Time Machine for 7 hours. They’ve been doing some very interesting games lately, including Super Mario RPG!
Dungeons and Daddies for 5.4 hours. I finally finished a couple of episdoes, but I’m still behind on the 3rd season.
Into The Aether for 5.2 hours, because of course I listen to them!
The Rest is History for 3.8 hours, I listened to some of their episodes on 1968, awesome stuff.
NPC: Next Portable Console for 2.4 hours, just regularly scheduled episodes.
Gaming
✨ Hollow Knight: This is my current focus now that I finished PoP, and I want to beat it alongside my friends who are trying it too.
✨ Balatro: I returned to this for a bit to play with friends and talk about the best poker plays and jokers to try out.
✨ Lumines Remastered: I did a single run of Lumines and I managed to get into my own top 10 runs, but didn’t beat my PB yet.
✨ I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: I played this game for like 5 hours last week and advanced the story quite a bit.
Dragon Quest XI: I continued playing this game for a bit more, I am really liking it but it has been displaced a little bit.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown: I finished this game, I love it, check my review of it.
Nintendo Switch Sports: I play this with friends and my sibling sometimes and it’s super fun!
Books
Caliban’s War: I started this book and I’m on chapter 20 of it, I am really liking it, it’s the sequel to Leviathan Wakes and it’s just as good so far.
Leviathan Wakes: I finished this book, check my review early this month.
Black Easter: I finished this book, liked it a bit less but it was still quite good.
Manga
JuJutsu Kaisen: I’ve read a lot of JJK, I am beyond the season 2 of the anime and it gets so good.
DanDaDan: I am loving this and I still don’t watch the anime but I’ve seen some shorts and I might watch it soon.
Kingdom: I read a couple chapters, always a joy and super epic.

Finishing thoughts
I made a lot of blog posts because of #WritingMonth, not my best streak at all, but still filled with variety and the start of my week notes as well.
I think I will try to focus on reading more, it’s been a little difficult to balance out my gaming and my reading, but I think there’s a way, maybe calendar blocking or something like that? I don’t know. Should I plan this out some more? maybe. For now, it is now December, and I’ll see what this month brings, lots of gifts I hope!
