The not serious thoughts

Because I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention what more fun things I’ve been up to.

Summary:

A history of games, or how Alex Drennan learned to learn.

Games I played and (mostly) finished:

- Soul Caliber VI: Played nearly all of the story parts during the last days of this year. It’s so fun and ridiculous.

- Nier: Automata: I can’t believe it took me this long to play it! It’s brutal, in a lot of ways, but I loved it.

- Far Cry 5: I’m total trash for this series and have yet to play the DLC, but there’s a lot of catharsis in this game for me.

- Octopath Traveler: One of those nostalgia JRPG games that actually works because it’s beautiful and the stories are interesting (and ballsy).

- Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden: A creepy little Steam game best played on a tablet computer. It was so relaxing and weird I had to mention it.

- LEGO DC Villains: SO FUN. The storyline actually was super clever and Mark Hamill Joker is really the beat one.

- Shadow of the Tomb Raider. ARROWS. Also interesting character work!
