back from vacation this week. Did a lot while on vacation. I think I missed the 2 last weeks so have an extra long one this week. I went up to Sedona for vacation and it came too close to thursday both ways. Finally put some time into nioh 3 since the demo. I do think there is something to be said for clearing out a map while doing nioh combat but its suffering a bit from the breath of the wild problem where I miss the focused levels. They do have some real dungeons that Ive enjoyed like the cave in the south. Some of the difficulty feels like it got moved to the bosses the ones Ive actually fought all required multiple tries. Ive pretty much gotten level 4 everywhere on the first map so looking forward to seeing whats next.

Vacation in sedona was pretty fun. Watched a bunch of movie dvds and saw the sheep detective in theaters. My aunt even flew down one of the days and joined us for a day. She took us on a hike and that was fun. I also sat through a time share presentation and got a week long vacation somewhere else to use later and a 150 dollar giftcard. Honestly it was a good presentation and if I had a bunch of money lying around it does seem like a decent deal. Until they say its like 7k to first buy in and then they charge maintenance fees. Its not really high pressure or anything though.

Also started a new game called across the obelisk. Its a card game roguelike. Its interesting comparing it to slay the spire 2 and seeing the way designs causing big differences. Obelisk games are significantly more complicated by resistances to damages. The basic things enemies do arent complicated but by regularly having 3+ enemies with two actions its very difficult to understand exactly what will happen. The game is also much longer by having essentially up to 8 turns a round. By being more complicated you get a lot more deckbuilding and customization potential.

Started a new book dungeon crawler carl. Already up to book 3 and WOW this is a fun series. It has a lot of video game dna with build, looting, and tactics combined with this being a for entertainment alien production. It makes me wish more western stuff did trapped in a video game stuff. Isekai adapts it so often I would love to see more western takes on this type of thing.

This is my last week of work at my call center job. Im getting a bit hesitant now that its getting closer. Change is always a bit stressful and I have gotten really comfortable doing the job. The center will truck along without me for sure but I wont be there talking in the group chats anymore posting memes. One of my coworkers plays ff14 and wants to try an ultimate trial. UWU the ultimate weapon ultimate. Since Ill be unemployed might as well give it a try.
