Games added: Nothing
Last week: Finished nothing, played Hello Kitty, Marvel Galactic Invasion, and I can't remember what else
This week: Same plus a LOT of Cult of the Lamb
There are some games that come out & I just *know* I'm going to love them, but for whatever reason I keep putting off playing them. I know izzy can relate to that, he's mentioned something similar several times. Well, Cult of the Lamb was one of those games for me. Something finally pushed me to start it this past week - I own it for the Switch, but I'm playing it off of the Playstation subscription service. And sure enough, I absolutely love it. It's a roguelite that's half dungeon crawler and half cult simulator. The thing is, usually when a game does this kind of thing I love one part of it and don't really care for the other, so I end up feeling like the other thing is a chore I have to do to get back to the good stuff - and usually, it's the sim aspect that I don't really like. In this case, both things are a blast and the way they affect one another is so well done that the entire game is just a joy to play. I have nothing bad to say about it in fact - from the gameplay to the graphics to the music, the entire package is just immaculate. I've sunk over 30 hours into it so far (for reasons I'll go into in a min...) and I'm about 2/3's through the main story, so I feel safe saying that it's an absolute banger. Highly recommended.
Monday was a work at home day for me due to the weather. Honestly, it got really cold down here but nothing else, but I never complain about a work from home day. That morning I started feeling a little pinch in my abdomen, which I wrote off to something I ate - I had made some chili the night before, so maybe that was it. As the day went on, the pain got worse, and it really didn't feel like a stomach issue. I was barely able to sleep that night, there was no way I could lay in bed that wasn't painful. Tam almost took me to the emergency room, but I really didn't want to and it finally started easing off a little after I took some pain meds. The next day I stayed home & went to the doc, and turns out I have a kidney stone. So I stayed home yesterday as well adjusting to the pain meds, waiting on a call to setup a CT scan that never came, and just generally being in pain. I'm back at work today, but still in some pain. Anyway, that time at home where I couldn't do much else, I played CotL.
And now...I wait.

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed
if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis
