    This is what happens when all of my friends move away, so every bit of my budget goes into a PC. I also got kind of lucky walking into a MicroCenter where they had a few in stock.

I ended up upgrading to a PC with an RTX 4090 and 128 GB of DDR5-6400 RAM (limited now by ASUS's garbage BIOSes that can't even allow XMP usage).

    What's it like having a group? I've missed out on a lot of games because I just don't have the friend group to jump in.

    Baldur's Gate 3 cannot come soon enough, assuming it isn't KSP2 levels of bugged on release. I'm still super scarred from that.

    I'll probably check D4 out when the price drops, but I don't have any friends as is, so meh.

    The ending scene too where the final duel occurs and the player is given a choice at the end. (Not sure how to spoiler tag something, so I don't want to say much more). Just a chef's kiss moment.

    I'd love to play that one, but the always online requirement is something I just won't touch out of principle, and at $70...that's not cheap.

    I just want to call out Ghost of Tsushima as being an absolute masterpiece of a game. If ever a game were to be called art, I'd say it'd be Ghost of Tsushima, Witcher III: Wild Hunt, or Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But digressing, Ghost of Tsushima deserved every accolade it got, and then some. Straight up tour de force by Sucker Punch.

    So recently, I've just kind of been absorbed in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Combat certainly feels more difficult than its predecessor, and overall I get more of a grindy feel because of the requirement to purchase certain armour sets. But that's just how it goes sometimes, I suppose. At least the ability to fuse weapons together with monster parts, in combination with the liberal availability of said monster parts, makes things pretty fun as long as your last weapon doesn't break, as happened to me recently :/

    So of late, I've been reading:

    Hai to Gensou no Grimgar (Vols. 9 and 10): Man this series is getting crazy. I'm not sure how to spoiler tag anything here, so I don't wanna say too much, other than that if you think the anime's dark, well holy shit. The character progression has seemed a bit stilted at times, and certain plot developments seem a little forced, but overall the series is at an 8/10 for me right now, as I really love seeing characters' decisions bear consequences they're forced to live with, and justify in some cases.

    Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (Vols. 6-10): Wow. I didn't think Aqua could be any more useless. Oh well, she's certainly good for a few comedic moments. The more I read the main series (there are quite a few spinoffs), the more I love this group of misfits that somehow calls itself a functioning party. Hopefully I'll be caught up on this one by the end of summer.

    As far as stuff I've watched, can't say I've seen anything notable this season. Senko-san is a good dose of iyashikei, as is Senryuu Shoujo. Kimetsu no Yaiba's art has been good, but the story imo rather feels forced into standard shonen fare, unfortunately. Really looking forward to summer's adaptation of Arifureta: Saikou Sekai de Shokugyou by White Fox (if they do at least passable with the CG). Hikasa Youko as a masochistic dragon really has me excited, and idk why.

    I love how Aqua put like nothing into actual skills and put her points into party tricks. But I'm glad we agree on best girl. Wiz ftw.
