755 hours in Total War: Warhammer 2.

Hello from Spokane, where we were literally off the chart yesterday! (AQI of 511 out of 500!) I went outside for five minutes to water the garden and my eyes were stinging and teary for a while afterwards.
But nobody gives a shit unless it's the east coast, because this has happened nearly every year for the past 5 years. At least I can see the sky today.
Yoko Shimomura is my favorite Square Enix composer, hands down.
I have also had this issue!
I'm a Pathfinder fan with vague disdain for 5e as a ruleset and active loathing for Forgotten Realms as a setting. I love this game.
My life has been replaced with Baldur's Gate 3. I'm partially into Act 2 but keep having to take breaks because the spooky atmosphere and crippling decision anxiety are stressing me out too much to continue playing long stretches.
Why is everyone acting like Dragon Age: Origins is the only fantasy RPG that ever existed? Baldur's Gate 3 is the next step in a long legacy of genre defining games.
You can't actually get the true ending on your first playthrough. You have to do the neutral ending first.
It is a wonderful little game!
As a more serious suggestion, you could make sorbet if you have a food processor or blender! It's super simple and how I use up leftover fresh fruit after making freezer jam.
Puree fruit, add sugar as desired, freeze on a cookie sheet, re-puree, then freeze permanently.
- Gather raspberries.
- Put raspberries in mouth.
- Repeat.
My life has been completely subsumed by Baldur's Gate 3. I spend all day at work thinking about it.
My husband called it a "tactical combat dating sim" and that cracked me up.
Subnautica legitimately made me stop and stare at my screen with mouth agape at the wonder and terror of a glowing undersea behemoth. I've never had a game provoke pure awe like it does.
