Daggerheart: Dragon Heist in the City of Splendors
Still playing in this every day, and still not sure how to go about logging it — popping it on every day feels excessive, but I am playing it every day.
It occured to me that I'd never dream of not logging a half-hour TV show I actively watched, or not logging a book even if I read one short chapter, yet I'm doing this for longer chunks than that and am hesistant about always mentioning it, so why? Maybe because it's "always on". I don't sit down and do an hour of it (necessarily), but I'll check in for new stuff several times a day; and I might spend a little while writing a post, send it, then check a little later for responses (because a response is rarely instantaneous). I might even do that cycle quickly, with regular check-ins and posts over an hour or two. So, it's kind of like I'm always playing, and because I'm "always playing" it feels odd to log it as a discrete unit, somehow?
Also, it's not a TV show or film or book or computer game that I can link to and someone could learn about or maybe watch/read/play themselves — it's a 'home game' for just the seven of us involved.
I dunno, I'm sure I'm overthinking all this. Maybe I'll just continue to mention it now and then. But is that dishonest to the goal of this blog, when I am actually playing every day? And, in that respect, if I didn't play one day for some reason, how would I reflect that here? (I'm just thinking 'out loud' at this point!)

Metroid: Zero Mission
I think I made it into an area I wasn't ready for, because the only way back out was to kill myself and let it reload at the last save point (of course, I could've just quit and reloaded, but y'know). Luckily, I didn't lose too much progress. I also finally managed to defeat the first boss-like creature, so maybe I'm improving. Yay!

Nice to do a couple of levels of this cozy puzzler as a palate cleanser from Metroid.
