What I’ve Been Playing – Idling For Hats Edition

A new year, a new time to try to build new habits. Hah ha ha, yeah right... probably. Anyway, I picked up a slew of new-ish games over the holidays in various sales, and I look forward to forgetting that I wanted to play them over the next few months. Off the top of my head, I picked up, yet to really play, Spider-man Miles Morales, Alan Wake 2 and Alan Wake Remastered, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Over the years, I've used a lot of different methods for writing. Pen and paper way in the past. Microsoft Word for a while, because, that's what Word is for right?

It's that time of year again, when everyone is cheerful and celebrating and partying and buying gifts. That's right, it's my birthday. And these days, there isn't a lot of partying or buying gifts. Which isn't really a big deal. I have long gotten to the age when I really don't care much for all of that. It's always kind of been a sort of, blessing and a curse having a birthday this time of year. On one hand, you end up being around more family more often so you end up with more "token gifts". Often you at least…
