The mental exhaustion is from working two jobs, studying some videos to get re-certified in A+, a lot of video gaming (not a bad thing!!), and not enough sleep. "Burning the candle at both ends." Speaking of gaming, Baldur's Gate 3 continues to remain amazingly fun. I've started using a few mods - mainly, class … Continue reading Mentally Exhausted – Recharge!
It's a weird thing with me: whether it's in a board game or a video game, I have a very hard time playing as the 'villain' or 'the bad guy'. In Betrayal at House on the Hill (and various versions of that game), you could end up being the villain strictly via the luck of … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: “Villain”
Well, not specifically thoughts on the Kentucky Derby, which happens on Saturday. These are thoughts that I had to put to "paper", so to speak. I have two extra days off, due to the Derby: the city buses take a massive detour away from Churchill Downs, so what would normally be a 25-30 minute trip … Continue reading ‘Derby’ Thoughts

The … Continue reading ‘Night Walk’
(No particular song list, this time) Beating a tricky puzzle puzzle, mini boss, or boss always has brought a high level mixture of satisfaction and relief. Finally beating a Boss in 'Elden Ring' multiplies that level by 5. FINALLY beat Godrick in Stormveil Castle with my Paladin-esque character! Now, to get through Raya Lucaria Academy.... … Continue reading “Night Walks”: Some Quick Hits
As I plan on how I am going to spend my $1 combined Federal and State tax return, I think about how 2025 is off to a... start... and how there are a lot of 'milestone dates' for me, this year. Those dates include: February 22nd: the 15th anniversary of my heart valves replacement surgery. … Continue reading ‘Night Walks’: 2025 is a Milestone Year
Surprisingly, this isn't about the U.S. Presidential Elections results.... ... although having this "President" inaugurated on the same day as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is an absolute insult.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, January 2025 has been one of the longest, most frustrating months in a very long time. The main sources of frustrations have been money … Continue reading The 80 Days of January – Almost Over!
2024 is starting to wind down. “Best Of/Recap of 2024” lists and shows are popping up, Christmas music, lights, and commercials are on in full force, and there's about 3 hours of daylight outside. Here’s my recap of the year: Endings and BeginningsEndingsTinder/Bumble. In 2022 (I think), I joined Tinder; a few months later, I … Continue reading Wrap-Up of 2024!

After a 45-minute play session, here are my thoughts and breakdown.NOTE: there are some small spoilers.
