If I want to say more, totally fine, but the minimum is 3. It helps differentiate each day and feels less overwhelming for me than "just journaling".

The animation is striking, the entire Ubisoft catalog of games is somehow respectfully thrown in a blender, and, most of all, it told a story that made me actually care about what the fuck happens to a talking assassin frog.

I'm not in love with the pace and aesthetic of Cocoon but the puzzles are so damn good. The whole gimmick are these orbs that you can carry but also that you can enter and explore the worlds within them. It is so expertly crafted that a very overwhelming thing becomes very intuitive
I loved The Messenger so I had to check out Sea of Stars and so far, so good! I don't have a lot of nostalgia for this sort of Chrono Trigger-y type of game but I like the characters and world!

The Descent by Jeff Long
If you've seen the movie called The Descent, it was NOT based on this book but it might as well have been. Strange creatures start coming up from caves and sewers. Humans decide to head down and get a LOT more than they bargained for. Kinda goes off the rails towards the end but I couldn't put it down. -
The White Road
The first section is the most harrowing cave horror I've ever read. (could you tell I was on a caves kick?) In the later sections, they head to Mt. Everest and it becomes a human vs the elements story which is fun.

Min58Out Link ParentI think you might be right about Logey Bear but I do wanna say that his crash today was because he lost hydraulic pressure. So not really his fault, I think he did a great job this weekend.I think you might be right about Logey Bear but I do wanna say that his crash today was because he lost hydraulic pressure.

I was interested in the movie but I sure as hell won't encourage other marketing strategies to get around the strike
I actually enjoy Slay the Spire (and Monster Train and others like them) because of the random draws. I used to play MtG a ton years ago but I was always exhausted by the seemingly endless choices when building a deck. Games like this are perfect for me because at any one moment, the decision space isn't more than, like, 5 options. In MtG, I would get anxious that I was doing it "wrong" or something. I never feel that with StS. I just go for it!
