What I’m reading

“Don’t Panic: Douglas Adams & the Hitchhiker’s Guid to the Galaxy”, Neil Gaiman (audiobook).

“Siren Queen”, Nghi Vo (audiobook).

“Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor”, Ally Carter.

In progress:

  • “Side Jobs: Stories from the Dresden Files”, Jim Butcher.

What I’m playing

Completed - The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow. Point-and-click adventure with a folk horror theme, retro visual style, and good voice acting / sound design that combines to achieve an effective sense of dread. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Control scheme worked well on Steam Deck.

Completed - Life is Strange 2.

The Descendant. Had several crashes early in the game on Steam Deck. May have to come back to this one when I can play it on Windows.

Gemini Rue.

Deathloop.
