Slowly digging myself out...

[onlyknownothing]

Apparently the "Reading" page only goes to twenty pages, and I've been in hibernation long enough that I can't read back to where I left off. Apologies if I've missed anything. Slowly booting back up to the point where I have the energy levels to post here.

What have I been doing? Not much, honestly, but I want to give attention to a few things:

• Epistolary two-player "TTRPG" (it's online, so no table, but still). It's nice - I'm bad at keeping myself going in true solo play, yet this isn't overwhelming. We've been very understanding of each others' limits at the moment; it's slow going, but also hasn't died for that reason. We're currently playing Tangled Blessings since we both had purchased it previously on Itch.io bundle sales. Witchcraft dark academia is not normally my cup of tea, but going into with the lens of "playing to provide a narrative foil to another player" makes it far more enjoyable as an experience.
  
  
• Webfishing is nice. Relaxing way to spend a bit of time, literally just sitting by a virtual seashore and... fishing. Would like to try playing with other people, but haven't had the energy for socializing due to seasonal energy issues. Hopefully later.
  
  
• ATLYSS is entertaining, if a bit... extra in the character design. (Large-proportioned player characters with jiggle physics, basically.) Gameplay-wise it's like an early-years MMO which stole large chunks of the Kingdom Hearts combat system. Scratches some of the "online gaming" itch without requiring a monthly subscription or burning hours a day, since you can play at your own pace. I've been doing a quest or two a day, after work, just to fiddle around with the various things you can do. If you can brush off the atypically-horny options made available in the character creator, give it a look. It's fun. Would also like to try playing this with other people at some point, once more time/energy is available.
