I watched a single video essay, Art in the Pre-Apocalypse by Jacob Geller. As usual with Jacob Geller video essays I always come away with a lot of food thought.

I also finished Baldur’s Gate 3 which was a game that did get a full written review from me. A fantastic time.

I also started and dropped Starfield which was not a good time. It is a Bethesda game in all the good and bad ways. Thoroughly confirmed that I don’t indeed the Bethesda style of game. Meh.

I read a bunch of online articles/essays which you can find linked in reading list 1 and reading list 2. I also read one book while I was on vacation, Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree, nice and cozy read.

I watched some TV shows while on vacation, I watched the second season of Foundation, the first season of Hijack and most of the third season of Ted Lasso. All of these are Apple TV Plus shows which I signed up for one month of to watch Foundation but ended up watching the others.

Season two of Foundation was kinda meh, there were some good bits but overall I continue to be disappointed in the show. Hijack was a very enjoyable thriller. The third season of Ted Lasso has been good so far and is a noticeable improvement from some of the slumps in the second season. I hope they stick the landing with the ending.

That’s all from me this month, see y’all next month.

This month started off with some more movies, I watched Minority Report, My Neighbor Totoro, Suzume, and Kiki’s Delivery Service. All of these were quite good in their own way and I continue to enjoy my journey through the world of Studio Ghibli movies.

I also watched a bunch of video essays this week starting off with The World Is Not Ending by Sophie From Mars and continuing with Conspiracy on the Left along with a few others like her Resimania series. I have become a big fan of her work and I have added her to the list of folks I support on Patreon.

Speaking of video essays I also watched Sovereign Citizens: Pseudolaw & Disorder by münecat, YouTube has been recommending this particular video to me for a while but I’ve only now gotten around to watching it. It’s good!

Other than that, a lot of my free time this past month has been taken up by playing Baldur’s Gate 3. What a game. Just might be the best video game RPG I’ve ever played. I am slowly nearing the end of my first campaign and I’m looking forward to writing something longer about the game when I’m done.

That’s all from me this month, see y’all next month!
