Some of my favorite things - 2022 Edition

In 2022, I've consumed a lot of media. It was mostly books and tv shows. This post is to pick out a few of my favorites. I did this type of post last year too. Books I've read a lot of books in 2022. As of this posting, I've completed…

Stray

I've been on vacation this week. We haven't gone anywhere, it's more of a staycation. I've been doing a bunch of chores around the house that have been on hold because of soccer and other obligations. I've also gotten a bit of time to relax and enjoy some things that…

Currently Playing

I'm not currently playing any video games. I just finished Assemble with Care by ustwo Games. They made the Monument Valley games I previously wrote about. Assemble with Care was a fun little game. Each level (or story section) was small enough to complete in a single sitting. It also…

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are released tomorrow. I don't think I'm going to be getting this one. Yet. Since 2015, I've played a handful of Pokémon games, mainly on the Nintendo 3DS. I've also played Pokémon Sword on the Nintendo Switch. I really liked these games. Particularly the games on…

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Last week, I finished the game Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I played through it on the Nintendo Switch. I bought the game a while ago when it was on sale and haven't played it until recently. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is the sequel to…

Astro's Playground

I’m a fairly recent PlayStation 5 (PS5) owner (last Christmas). Astro’s Playroom is almost the perfect game. It’s free, easy, and short. It’s also delightful. I played though this game over a few days and loved it. I got all of the puzzle pieces and artifacts.…
