Fiction

Redwall by Brian Jacques
Book One, Chapters 1–10

So, the new Daggerheart game I mentioned joining takes place in a world inspired by the Redwall series. I was aware of those books as a child but never read them, for whatever reason, and in recent-ish years have considered trying them. Well, joining a game inspired by them was the push I needed!

Video Games

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition

Over an hour of play and, to be honest, I felt like it was all admin: selling loot, enchanting a few things, moving stuff around, decorating a couple of my houses... I don't pay too much attention to in-game time (because it doesn't actually matter how many days pass), but I teleported all around the map to do that, so my hour of doing a few bits probably took the 'characters' half a week or more!

I think this also demonstrates how you can sink so much time into this game. I mean, I didn't feel like what I did took over an hour, or that I was wasting my time, per se. But you couple that with things like spending two hours just making potions (and I've done that more than once, which I'd forgotten 'til I looked up those posts!) and, yeah, you see how I've played 182 hours without advancing many storylines or even visiting half the map.
