The Backlog Check-in Vol. 358: 11/9/24: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake/LEGO Horizon Adventures Edition

Hey. I'm alive. Yay.

Played:...I literally think I have only played Hades this week in bits and pieces on the train. It's starting to make sense since I unlocked the spear and started using the call which I had mostly ignored because I didn't want to go pick it up after I threw it. I like the drip feed of story and that he has so many dialogues for when you fail. Hades is a sassy straight up dick which is my low key favorite video game antagonist type. I was finally able to rest for the first time and now I really dig the loop.

Bought: Nothing. But Humble has a Telltale bundle and a Sid Meier bundle for about $30 total I am very tempted to jump on. Oh and just chomping at the bit for that Shadow x Sonic Generations to go on black Friday sale soon...

This week: Hades until Sonic is on sale. Since I will reclaim a bit of my time as December rolls around I might go back to Megaton Musashi and try to find something meaty for the winter until Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii monopolizes my time in March.

Hope all is well friends, later!

But this time, I felt it - just a little body-knowing that I had an enemy within. I expected that it'd be like usual and would barely impact me other than perhaps a little scratchy throat and maybe some slight congestion. Whoo boy, I was in for a rude awakening. Last night I was in full on cold sweats, shaking, kicking the covers around with absolutely zero hope of finding *any* sort of comfort that would allow for real rest - just *pure* misery. I know we've all been sick at times in life, but this was one of those where I think if I'd been offered to fight through it or exit stage left by some entity, I may have seriously considered the second option. It was the real deal. On the positive side, I feel much better already. Like usual, whatever this was only had a brief visit before my body sorted it out, but what a wild ride, lol. Hope you guys all avoid this thing, if this particular bug is even in your areas.

Yikes. Very glad you're feeling better. That sounds awful. I've had the sniffles for a few weeks so I can relate.
