LitRPG is my favorite book genre, so this is a greatexcuse to gab about 8 LitRPG series I love.
For fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl specifically, if you want "person from earth dragged into a dungeon" then give The Rise of the Winter Wolf a shot.

Did I end up playing any of those games? No, I spent 30 minutes enjoying this little game instead store.steampowered.com/app/3715020/...
I didn't get a perfect playthrough but I did pass my probation and got the job 😜
If the idea sounds cute to you, give it a half an hour of your time, it's free.

I think I may have overextended myself on the games I'm playing and now I have a bit too much going on. In the past week I have started:
1)Anode Heart: Layer Null
2)Effulgence RPG
3)Moonlighter 2
4)Megabonk
5)Ways of Alchemy
6)Octopath Traveler 0
7)New character in Guild Wars Reforged

For the first time in months I had an energy drink, that plus Octopath Traveler 0 got my writing juices flowing, I started writing a journal as my main character. ✍️A fun little exercise that's also helping me keep track of the story threads going on. ~3500 words felt like it came out like nothing.

Octopath 0 has launched on Steam. I avoided the demo because it was time locked, so I'm seeing the character creation now. How can the game tell me to pick 3 items and then present me with exactly 3 mysterious valuables in the choices. Well of course I need those instead of normal items!

Gotta love when your body aggressively reminds you that you are aging. I must have slept on my left shoulder because I woke up in such pain for it and my neck. Hoping I can fall back asleep through the pain because being awake with this sucks.

Me: I love the job system in Guild Wars, getting to pick 2 gives you a ton of flexibility and uniqueness! Maybe I'll try out Dervish, or Ritualist, maybe Monk!
Also Me: You're going to go Mesmer/Necromancer or Necromancer/Mesmer again, aren't ya?
Me: Yes. 🙂
Happy #GuildWarsReforged Eve!

Ah yes. That time of year. Don't donate to the Salvation Army. They're highly anti-LGBTQIA+ and anti-veteran. They operate as a church first charity second. We just don't harass the bell ringers, chances are high they don't know better. Just walk past the buckets.

This week is so stacked. I'm excited for an indie RPG tomorrow (store.steampowered.com/app/3302080/...), Guild Wars Reforged on Wednesday, and then Octo0 on Thursday. So many good RPGs not enough hours!
48 hours until octopath 0.

Watching my favorite streamer play Dispatch and I am very glad I skipped it now. First the dispatch gameplay itself doesn't seem my speed, but far more importantly, if I had played Dispatch and then found out I couldn't romance this gorgeous man I would have been inconsolable.

If you've played any of the Dragon Quest games or spin-offs you've likely run into at least one "But thou must!". I generally like the trope and find it funny in many cases, but there's one that I *really* wish we could give a proper "no" to. Fuck you Toilen' Trouble. You obnoxious twink.

Saw someone on tiktok recommend a hot water bottle. I had always used those microwavable rice pillow things and she went into a breakdown of the differences. My hot water bottle came in today and I'm loving it. I should have bought one years ago.

Perfect time to get gifts from small businesses and show support to those bring their own brand of joy to the world. Plus, there’s no shipping in person!

I'm so glad I'm not into reality tv. Every season I hear of some terrible choices by showrunners that fuck up contestants and sending home the best talents for extra drama. I'll stick to cartoons I think.

The deli is great, but I should have picked a more basic bread. Their special is a rye kind of bread I don't vibe with. It's good but a bit dry and a bit bitter for me.
Trying out the deli next to the dispensary. Fingers crossed I've found another good sandwich place. I'm a sucker for a good sandwich.
