  • Had the Framily over, so electronic entertainment was reserved for the kids. Lots of Kirby and Smash happening on the television while I snuck away to play board games with some of the adults.

    I played Cabo, the card game where you are trying to get the lowest score before going out, but you can’t see your opponents’ cards, so it’s tough! Managed third place! Out of three…

    Played Maglev Metro, a railway/subway pickup and deliver game about shuttling robots to where they needed to go around Berlin. This is my second time playing this game I’ve owned for nearly ten years. It has a lot of little rules that led to me and my companion taking “oh, I cheated” turns undoing actions. When I think about the Switch 2’s price per hour I’ll be playing it, these $60+ board game purchases look insane.

    Played Clank: Catacombs again and still was unable to escape to the surface! Second place, though! And the one person who did escape earned a distant third. I can’t wait to bring that one out again!

    I did get in a lot of Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent yesterday and this morning. I finally finished a post-game dungeon to grind for material! But I’m still too afraid to continue with the main story after getting walloped last time (in 2024). Maybe when summer vacation arrives…


  • You are playing it right! I love when I finally decide to get off my butt and continue with the story, but it tells me I need to do something else first. It creates a real feel of the flow of time.

    Also, I just stepped into Calderos for the first time after chapter eight. It’s a really scary place (for me), so I saved it for last. However, my Calderos percentage dwarfs my Sylvalum explore percent. They are both really scary for me, even in the forties.
