Weeknotes 26-09: Marathon, D&D

I’m sorry to say but it was yet another big Gaming week this week. I generally have media consumption/hobby “seasons” and I guess right now I’m in a video game one because I’ve been doing it a lot recently!!!!

Marathon came out on thursday and I was peer-pressured into buying it but honestly???? Fun game. I feel like I Get It a lot more now, and the visual aesthetic/music/game-feel really keeps me sticking with it. I’m curious how I’ll feel in like, a month or two into the season, but I’m enjoying it so far! Also been playing a lot of Death Stranding 2, almost done with it this time! Will hopefully be done in one or two more sessions since it’s due back at the library very soon.

In very big nathan news which I’m sure I’ll talk about more in the next post, I bought a new phone……. truly a huge betryal for the iphone mini enjoyers out there, myself included, but the battery life was just so awful (even with a new battery) that I decided the small form factor just was not worth it when I was always worrying about my battery when going out. Like that time when I was in NYC and forgot an external battery and I was SO stressed. I don’t even use my phone that much (I average 2 hours per day) but sometimes I need it to last with a ton of usage!!! Like if I’m on vacation or even just going out all day and using maps a ton and taking photos. Review in next week’s notes 🙂‍↕️

On Saturday sean and I played D&D with some friends which was the first time I’ve played in probably a decade???? Like not since I was in college. Really fun!! It was my ideal style of D&D, very roleplay-light, mainly just storytelling and puzzle solving and fun, finely-tuned combat. We’re thinking of doing a 6-session campaign over the summer which I think would be a good time.

Bandcamp friday was this week!!!!!! Here’s what I got:
