No game has caught my attention in the past, maybe ten years? From the opening moments I was sucked into this world. The story, the art style, the engaging combat. The RPG-ness of it without being a massive open world game. Literally everything about this game is hitting for me.

I think about it while I’m at work. It’s all I want to play. The one downside? My lack of time to be able to spend in this world. But that is okay, and I look forward to visiting in the few hours a week at best that I am able to spend playing games. I’ll keep at it, because We Must Continue.

Upcoming posts on this are going to be brief and less brief mini reviews; a centralized media log for all the shit I consume.

While I don’t keep up with things nearly as much as before I had kids, logging and reviewing things is very much in my film nerd, Letterboxd user before it was cool heart.

First up, a book I started over a year ago and finally finished. Hopefully it takes less time than that to jot some words down about it.

After a particularly challenging day today mentally, I got my daily quote from terrific Waking Up app and it hit pretty hard:

So much has been given to me I have not the time to ponder that which has been denied.

-Helen Keller

I continue struggle with my longtime goal of establishing a daily meditation practice, but even if I don’t fit my 10 minutes a day in, I find that my mind is always pondering the lessons I’m learning through the app. Maybe especially so as part time practitioner, I find the daily quotes especially to be both grounding and enlightening.

Today’s quote coming when it did really gave me the perspective shift that I really needed.

It’s so easy to focus on all the things that are keeping me down. To get lost in the things that I didn’t accomplish yesterday or won’t accomplish tomorrow. It’s much harder for me to see all that I have and all that I have done.

So tonight, I’ll be taking a breath, thinking about all that I has been given to me, and remember that its okay to reset and begin again.

I suppose this the standard way that these things start. I’m not sure what this will be yet, but I am feeling the need to loosen the pressure building in my head. What better way than to dump all of my thoughts out into the ether?

I have a pretty small footprint online. I do not plan to promote this blog. I do not plan on trying to drive views. We’ll see where this goes and how long I keep it up. From where I stand today, I’m simply looking for an outlet.

If you happen to stumble upon this site, I welcome you! Even better if you relate to any of my ramblings. Feel free to reach out if you care to. If not, oh well.

Here goes nothing.
